WANDERLUST FROM HOME
FROM THE home front
JOURNEY TO HOME OWNERSHIP
Everyone’s home journey is different, but the excitement and thrill of creating a new beginning is shared by all. At BGC Housing Group, we’re proud to play a part in your new home build process, with the guidance and support you deserve to bring your dream to life.
As you move along your building journey, you will see that there are numerous aspects to building a home. Did you know that over 60 trades go into building a home? Many of these trades attend site more than once and need to coincide with material delivery from other suppliers. It is a balancing act for our Building Supervisors as they manage a range of tradespeople and material deliveries for each new home build.
As we reach the end of 2022, our construction team remain focused on building quality new homes that are backed by a lifetime structural guarantee.
We’d like to take the opportunity to thank our trades and employees for their hard work to get more West Australians into their homes.

Wanderlust from home
We wanted to inspire you with ways to bring your favourite travel memories into your home without having to squeeze your bag into the overhead locker.
Travelling is many experiences in one. It’s a way to learn and grow within oneself and grow with other people by learning about something or someone new. It is about taking a break from the pressures of daily life.
The latest edition of our BGC Home Magazine sparks the same feel of excitement as when you are planning a trip, whether close or far from home. I was fortunate to recently board a plane for the first time in a few years. I was overcome with the feeling of how lucky I am to be able to share the world with my wife and kids. We ventured to Bangkok, one of Southeast Asia’s most popular destinations. Bangkok is an ever-changing, alwaysbustling cosmopolitan capital with much more on offer than incredible street food (although there’s plenty of that). Our magazine showcases travel experiences like mine.
Along with interior design tips, world architecture and new recipes, similar to when you explore other parts of the world or even hidden gems in your own country. Enjoy being transported across the globe.

With three simple accessories, you can expand your culinary frontier even further. Take multi-cooking to the next level with the specially designed in-oven barbecue tray for fuss-free grilling without the mess or clean-up, rain, hail or shine.

For healthier cooking you can recreate the flavour and crisp texture of fried food in your oven with the air fry tray. You’ll enjoy crunchy crumbed chicken, fish, chips and wedges, without the mess or added fat.
Elevate Friday night family pizza night with the authentic flavour of pizza cooked on stone. The durable refractory stone will also create impressive focaccia and bread.
