Comment:
“I am a builder working in a mining area in Northern Qld. I have been there for the past 12 months and have found that if you can build a quality product in the right area your long term returns will be greater than building a substandard house that may need constant maintenance.
“In these towns there are plenty of individuals who are making a lot of money and are crying out for a quality home to rent or purchase and are willing to pay for quality, not just a mass project house from project builders.”
