Developments

At Summit Developments, we’re dedicated to delivering innovative, high-quality housing that matches Perth’s changing needs. Our recent completion of 7 fully framed townhouses in Hilbert demonstrates how modern methods of construction, combined with strategic partnerships, can produce exceptional results for homeowners and developers alike.

Why Fully Framed Construction Is a Game Changer

Fully framed construction is fast becoming a preferred method for building homes that are durable, efficient, and built to last. With precision-engineered fully framed truss roofs and wall frames made from TRUECORE® steel, this approach offers exceptional strength and natural resistance against challenges like termites, warping, and shrinking.

Beyond strength, fully framed construction provides a lightweight, stable structure that adapts well to a variety of home designs and site conditions. With insulation built into the frame, these homes deliver excellent energy efficiency indoors. Interiors finished with GTEK™ plasterboard offer a smooth, modern look, while fibre cement external cladding delivers a durable, fire-compliant, and low-maintenance façade for fully framed development builds.

Bringing Innovation to Life: The Hilbert Townhouse Project

Our Hilbert development puts these benefits into action. The series of 7 townhouses were delivered in 8 months with precision and speed — all without compromising on build quality. This project proves how fully framed construction allows efficient, high-quality builds, producing homes designed to stand the test of time.

The Backbone of Quality: Our Partnership with Backbone Steel

What gives us a distinct edge is our vertical integration. Through Backbone Steel—our in-house manufacturing facility based in Myaree—every steel wall frame and roof truss used in our builds is precision rolled, formed, and assembled under our supervision.

This setup gives us full control over materials and labour, enabling faster build times, improved efficiency, consistent quality, and reliable supply—critical factors for delivering high-standard developments efficiently. We also ensure every frame uses top-grade Australian Bluescope TRUECORE® steel.

Perth Market Snapshot: Why Now Is the Time

Recent data from REIWA shows that in Greater Perth, prices for units and townhouses are rising faster than for standalone houses — highlighting strong demand for lower-maintenance, medium-density dwellings.

Looking ahead, forecasts predict Perth property values will increase by 12–16% in 2026, reflecting ongoing upward pressure driven by population growth and limited housing supply.

With this price growth favouring units, townhouses, and medium-density housing, market appetite is increasing for quality dwellings that balance affordability, modern living, and long-term value—making fully framed townhouses a particularly timely and relevant choice.

These trends underscore why now is an especially favourable time for developers and buyers to consider fully framed development projects.
