2024 HIA-CSR QLD Housing Awards
Did you see the post on our Instagram yet? We won the 2024 ‘Start Up Business’ award last week at the QLD Hia Awards in Brisbane.
When we started BCC Homes in the post-COVID landscape, most people thought we were a bit insane, as the industry was a shambles for some time. We also realised it was no easy feat! It required savvy, grit, focus, long hours of planning, and a clearly defined mission and purpose. We had to stand out from our competitors in this ever-evolving market where trades and suppliers were frightened of being burned by another builder.
Thankfully our team has years of experience in the industry building traditional homes, however, we knew that changes were coming to the market and the needs of our clients were evolving due to; limited land supply, interest rates rapidly increasing, homelessness on the rise, an aging population and the next generation becoming increasingly priced out of the market.
We knew something needed to radically alter in the space, as there were supportive changes in the state legislation relaxing tenancy laws and an ever-increasing demand for affordable housing – and if we must say a ‘glow up’ required as far as granny flats were concerned!
Starting BCC Homes was born from a passion for working closely with clients and delivering what they were screaming out for; high-quality homes at affordable prices and finishing homes ahead of schedule. These qualities provide the cornerstone of who we are and what we aim to achieve. This award is a reminder that the building industry is constantly changing, and innovation is a key driver to standing out in the marketplace.
We are obviously over the moon to receive this award but also honoured to be recognised by our industry, which is more than just about accolades. It’s about contributing to the marketplace with integrity, dedication, and passion. To be a recipient of this kind of award is not just a moment of shared personal pride for our entire team, but it’s a line in the sand – who we were aiming to be, and who we’ve become.
Founded by husband-and-wife team Sam and Krystle Barnett, BCC Homes is a family-owned company specialising in custom Granny Flats and renovations across South-East Queensland. After more than a decade in the construction industry, including over 1,200 homes built under Sam’s licence, we recognised a gap in the market, and an opportunity to build something that truly made a difference in people’s lives. That moment came when we met a homeowner who had been taken advantage of by another builder. Rather than walk away, Sam was driven to help. From that experience, BCC Homes was born: a business built on trust, service, and the belief that everyone deserves a quality home delivered with integrity. Our mission is clear: deliver exceptional, fairly priced housing solutions, built to the highest standards. Our vision: to become a leader in Granny Flat construction by aligning with trades, suppliers, and clients who share the commitment to quality and community. Granny Flats are so much more than just additional dwellings, they’re meaningful extensions of the home, spaces where memories are made, and family connections are deepened. Whether it becomes a first home for adult children or a forever home for parents or grandparents, a Granny Flat carries real emotional weight. That’s why we approach every build with the same level of care, respect, and thoughtfulness it deserves. Because these homes are built in the heart of family backyards, the relationship between builder and client must be strong, and rightly so. From day one, we’re hands-on, attending site inspections together, answering questions personally, and designing tailored solutions to suit each family’s unique needs. We don’t just build spaces, we create environments that feel like home from the moment you step inside. Behind the scenes, our systems are sharp and refined. From efficient qualification processes and transparent contracts to weekly team meetings and digital job tracking, every project is carefully managed to ensure smooth delivery and happy clients. But what truly sets BCC Homes apart is how we make people feel. Our clients aren’t treated like a number, they’re welcomed like family. Whether it’s a handshake or a heart-to-heart conversation on-site, the BCC experience is built around connection, respect, and results. Today, our growing referral base is a testament to that approach. With a trusted team of highly skilled trades and a clear passion for the craft, we continue to help everyday families unlock the potential of their property, one Granny Flat at a time.
