Craig started Parkway in 2003 after twenty-odd years climbing the ladder at Henley, eventually running State Building Operations.
He’d had enough of building someone else’s homes. Justin came on a decade later, same path his old man took: apprentice carpenter, then on the tools and now running jobs as a Construction Manager. Kaye runs the accounts. Dale handles marketing (hi). It’s the whole family.
About Parkway
A family business.
In the literal sense.
Most builders our size aren't really small. They're a sales team, a couple of supervisors, and a name on the truck. We're four Hellyers and a phone that goes through to one of us.
Craig or Justin is on every site every week. Kaye knows your name when you call. No "your account manager has left the business" email. That's it, really.
We take on around ten homes a year. You might wait a couple of months to start.
Custom vs. volume
We're not a volume builder.
Here's what that means for you.
Every builder advertises "Custom." The difference shows up in four small ways. Here they all are, plainly.
|
Other Volume Builder |
|---|---|
| Plans drawn for your block, your brief, your budget. | You pick a home from a fixed range of plans. |
| Craig or Justin is on your project, on your phone, on site, every week. | An account manager runs the project. The builder is a name on the sign. |
| Fixed-price quote with every allowance spelled out. | Allowances and "PC sums" tucked into the back of the contract. |
| About ten builds a year. By choice. | 50 to 300 builds a year. |
How we build
Building a home shouldn't feel like flying blind.
Building a home is a big project. We run every client through the same four steps so you always know where you are and what's next.
-
Sit Down
Come to the Dromana office, or we'll come to you. No obligation, no sales script.
-
Plans & Price
We design to your block and your budget, then quote off real drawings. The number you see is the number you pay.
-
On Site
One of us is on your site regularly. You'll have our mobiles. Things get answered.
-
Keys
You walk through it with us before you sign anything off. We don't leave until you're happy.
What we build
Whatever you're building, we've built one before.
Every Parkway home is custom: designed around your block, your budget, and the way you actually want to live.
Knock Down Rebuild
Stay where you love living. We handle the demo, the permits, the rebuild — the whole thing.
Dual Occupancy & Unit Developments
Two homes where one used to be. We've done it dozens of times across the Peninsula.
Renovations & Extensions
Bathrooms, kitchens, full extensions. Smaller projects, same hands-on attention.
Recent homes
Different blocks, different briefs, different families. Same two builders.
Three homes, properly. The block, the brief, what we built, and the line Craig or Justin remembers most about each one.

FAQs
Things every client asks at the first meeting.
Got a question that isn't here? Call (03) 5982 2121 or send it through the form.
How long does a custom new home take?
Typically 5 to 6 months from signed plans to handover, on a straightforward block. We give you a realistic timeline at quote stage. We don't pad it.
Can you build to my architect's plans?
Yes. We're builders, not architects — if you bring drawings, we'll quote and build to them. If you don't have plans yet, we can introduce you to a draftsperson who understands how we work.
Do you offer fixed-price contracts?
Yes. Fixed price, every allowance spelled out in the contract. No "PC sums" buried in the fine print.
Are you registered and insured?
VBA registered (DB-U 21534) and HIA member (No. 503295). Full domestic builder's warranty insurance on every build.
When can you start?
We take on around ten homes a year, so there's usually a few months between signing and site start. We'll give you an honest start date at quote stage.
What happens after handover?
You get a 90-day defect period and the standard 6-year structural warranty. We're a phone call away if anything needs attention.
