An annual list of South Australia’s largest home builders has revealed the pain being felt across the industry as major firms continue to navigate a perfect storm of rising costs and softening demand.
Hickinbotham held its position as the state’s largest home builder, and the country’s 11th largest, despite an 18 per cent fall in activity to 1507 new homes. Its nearest rival in the local market, Metricon, suffered a 25 per cent drop in volumes to 398 new homes. Longridge Group, Rivergum and Metro Homes rounded out the top five. Just six of the top 15 builders reported a rise in activity.
