East Gippsland Home and Lifestyle

PAGE 6 | Home &Lifestyle With more than 30 years of industry experience and more than 250 homes built in the region, GJ Gardner's Micheal Ellett has contributed to the evolution of the building industry in the East Gippsland region. "We've been so fortunate to support many local families to build their dream home. To us, the process is more than just a build," Mr Ellett said. "With each home, we have the privilege of taking the client on the journey from discovering their dream block of land through to handing over the keys." Mr Ellett said people are leaning into the natural landscape, inspired by rustic textures, natural colour palettes and lightweight cladding that reflect the sense of open space in the region. "Many of our clients spend days exploring the region sourcing inspiration, they come to us enlightened and energised to create their dream home," he said. Today, people in the market are diligently researching local builders that will deliver to their word and achieve their vision. "Every conversation is valuable, we listen, learn and ask questions. We want to understand our clients’ lifestyle, needs and budget so we can tailor a home design that's suitable and within their means," Mr Ellett said. "We want customising to be easy for the client. We often use simple techniques like lifting the ceiling height or widening windows to make the home feel brighter and more spacious. "That kind of flexibility and transparency can be hard to come by in today's market. "Our trades and suppliers are all local, they know the area well, so when we show them the vision of our clients, they too know what's going to work best in the space."
