Often the greatest success stories start from the most humble beginnings.

That’s certainly true of Far North Queensland’s Austart Homes, built on determination, hard work and a life-long passion for construction.
Phillip Matthews was just five years old and living in a commission housing area in Victoria when he fell in love with watching houses being built.

He believes if you think positive, and don’t allow yourself to be afraid, you can do what you set out to do!
He moved to Queensland and launched Newstart Homes, which was the fastest growing home building company in Australia in 1994.
It was during this era he met his now wife, Charmaine, who had also been dreaming up dream homes since she was 10yrs of age.

Charmaine is a qualified and Licenced Building Designer and is now a Licenced Builder.
