Orbit Homes
This article is about the building company in Australia. For the housing association group in England, see Orbit Group.

Orbit Homes is a family owned home builder in Australia. The company has been operating since 1978. Orbit Homes currently operates in Victoria and Queensland with offices in Melbourne and Brisbane [1]. The builder offers single-storey, double-storey and cottages homes. The company also offers house and land packages.

Orbit Homes has number of display villages. In Victoria, these display houses are situated in: Eynesbury, Point Cook, Tarneit, Craigieburn, Doreen, Epping, Mernda and Cranbourne. In Queensland, display villages are placed in: Caboolture, North Lakes, Griffin, Warner, Mountain Creek, Springfield Lakes, Upper Coomera and Waterford.

It is important to note that Orbit Homes has some designs which are offered to one state but not to the other. The same applies to specific facades. However, most houses are available both in Victoria and Queensland.

Recently, Orbit Homes won a contract from Defence Housing Australia (DHA) as part of the Nation Building – Economic Stimulus Plan. It is a relatively small contract (41 houses). However, the company was able to keep and even hire more staff during tough economic times of 2009 and 2010 [2].

The main competitor companies are: Mirvac Group, BGC (Australia) Pty Ltd and AVJennings Ltd [3].

Awards

Orbit Homes won some significant building awards from Housing Industry Association (HIA) and Master Builder Association (MBA) in Australia. There are also smaller awards within various housing estates (at least 15 between 2003 and 2005)[4]. However, as with other building companies, the customer satisfaction varies [5].
