Country builders at heart

In 1992, as the ‘tree change’ movement gathered momentum and more people decided to turn their backs on the city, The Rural Building Company stepped up to answer the call for individual designs made for country living. Drawing inspiration from Western Australia’s unique and glorious landscape, each Rural Building Co. home is special. Just the way it should be.

Live with attitude

Imagine a building company — actually, any company — that just gets you. One who knows what makes you tick, what gets you out of bed each morning and what pulls you back home each night. One that takes all that interesting information and gives it back to you in the form of a home that wasn’t just built for your block, but for your life. Every last, stylish, savvy and sometimes messy inch of it. Welcome to Residential Attitudes!
