For Naomi and her family, building with The Rural Building Co. was a wonderful experience based on trust, respect and understanding.

“For us, the building process was remarkably pleasant. We had a lovely supervisor who was very attentive. It was a lovely experience.”

The end result is a warm, welcoming home that sits comfortably in the Gidgegannup landscape.
