We’re Lisa and Gerard, the proud owners of Ironbark Homes.

Our journey in the building industry has been a blend of passion, dedication, and a commitment to creating meaningful living spaces.

Growing up, we were always fascinated by the idea of home—how it serves as a sanctuary for families and a place where memories are made.

Gerard, began his career as an apprentice carpenter in his father’s residential building company, learning the importance of hard work and integrity, values that we carry into every project we undertake today.

Over the past 25 years, he has honed his skills through various roles, from renovating heritage homes in London to managing custom builds across Victoria and the Northern Territory.

Lisa brings over 25 years of diverse experience across administration, real estate & sales roles in both Australia & the UK. With a strong entrepreneurial spirit, she has successfully managed her own projects including property renovations and operating her own boutique BnB.

Each experience has shown us the building industry from various angles & our diverse backgrounds have shaped our approach to building homes that not only meet our clients' needs but also reflect their unique styles and tastes.

At Ironbark Homes, we specialise in creating small second dwellings that provide practical solutions for multi-generational living. We understand the urgency that comes with needing a living solution for ageing parents & other family members.

We pride ourselves on being a one-stop shop that simplifies the building process. From the initial consultation to the final handover, we guide our clients every step of the way, ensuring they feel informed and supported throughout.

Our commitment to quality workmanship is matched only by our dedication to building relationships. We treat our clients like family, and our Construction Success Framework keeps you updated every step of the way, including weekly progress updates & the opportunity to view your home during all the critical stages of construction. This transparency fosters trust, allowing you to rest easy knowing your home is in expert hands.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with wonderful clients like Sarah and Roger from Kangaroo Ground, who entrusted us to create a beautiful second dwelling for their ageing parents, particularly when Sarah’s father was ill. We were able to provide their parents with comfort and dignity, all while ensuring they were close by. We managed the entire process, from initial design and council permits to construction and final handover.

Furthermore, Sarah and Roger understood this was a long-term investment. They knew that when the time came and their parents were no longer with them, the property would not only have increased in value, but the second dwelling would also serve as a practical and affordable solution for their growing children, allowing them a place to live without the pressure of a home deposit while they were studying.

Their satisfaction and peace of mind are what drive us to excel in our craft.

When we’re not building homes, you can find us enjoying water skiing, attending country music gigs or travelling & exploring new places with our two children. We believe that life is about creating lasting memories, and we’re here to help you create a home where those memories can flourish.

So, if you’re ready to build a space that meets your family’s needs and reflects your style, we’re here to help. Let’s turn your vision into reality together.
