Building Their Little Piece of Paradise: Michael & Jackie’s Glenwood Retirement Plan
For Michael and Jackie, building in Glenwood, QLD, is about more than creating a house – it’s about realising their vision for a retirement-ready home, positioned to capture the rural views and relaxed lifestyle they’ve been planning for years.
After settling on the property earlier this year, they knew they wanted a home that worked with – not against – the land. Positioned at the highest elevation on their 2.8-acre block, the house site is perfectly placed to take in the scenery.
When it came to selecting a kit home supplier, Michael and Jackie’s decision was straightforward. After researching various suppliers, they found that iBuild’s Townsville design suited the features of their Glenwood block and worked within their budget.
“We basically came to iBuild because of your design, and budget came together quite well… We like the design. That’s really what it comes down to. And the budget meets where we’re at as well.”
To make the most of their Glenwood block, they plan to position the master bedroom to capture southwest views, while the raised subfloor works perfectly with the slope to create an elevated, comfortable living space. The design’s front deck completes the picture – framing their outlook and connecting the home to its scenic surrounds.
“We’ve selected the Townsville design, which we like the concept of – it’s a design that will suit the location very, very well.”
With years of project management experience and being reasonably familiar with the construction process, Michael is confident about taking on the owner-builder role. That confidence is reinforced by the reassurance of having a responsive, knowledgeable supplier in their corner.
“We felt very comfortable and confident after speaking with iBuild. It’s nice to meet the team and know how you feel about supporting your clients throughout the owner-builder process.”
Design suitability and budget were the key factors in their decision, but iBuild’s support adds another layer of confidence as they move toward building their retirement home – stronger, smarter, and more affordable.
“ We’d spent years researching and comparing kit home suppliers for our future retirement home, but iBuild’s Townsville design and budget came together exactly where we needed them. The raised subfloor works perfectly with the slope of our block, and the front decking is positioned to take full advantage of the views. It’s the ideal choice for our little piece of paradise in Glenwood.
