SHAPE Homes stands out as a reliable expert partner
Since Inotek Timber Systems first opened six years ago, SHAPE Homes has long been one of their earliest partners, with the two businesses growing side by side.
Even during the COVID-19 pandemic when several builders were forced to cut allocations due to timber and labour shortages, the SHAPE Homes team continued to push ahead increasing their standard monthly business with Inotek Timber Systems which saw the partnership thrive during a challenging time for the entire industry.
Delivering high-quality timber frames, roof trusses, and floor trusses to homebuilders across Victoria, Inotek Timber Systems Managing Director Ian Ashby says the SHAPE Homes team is a pleasure to work with due to their expert operations, reliability, and genuine partnership dynamic.
“The very first wall frame job we completed when we opened six years ago was for SHAPE Homes, and since that day they have been an unwavering source of support for us. It’s been an honour to grow alongside them,” says Ian.
Speaking to SHAPE Homes’ hands-on approach, Ian notes from the beginning the connection felt different.
“It feels like a real partnership rather than a supplier-customer dynamic.”
Ian goes on to commend the SHAPE Homes team for their professionalism that ensures jobs are expertly managed and delivered, enabling smooth operations and last-minute pivots when needed thanks to the positive communication between the two businesses.
“Their experienced site teams are a pleasure to work with, and together, we ensure materials are delivered on time and to exact specifications. This seamless collaboration makes our jobs much simpler which in turn allows us to focus on what really matters and go above and beyond, especially when last-minute changes arise,” says Ian.
On any given month Inotek Timber Systems is working across roughly 20 – 40 builds with the SHAPE Homes team, noting one of the standout milestones they’ve recently achieved together is Port Lane, Port Melbourne, where the power duo has delivered 122 triple-storey townhouse frames in just over four months.
“It’s a remarkable achievement and a real testimony to the capacity of their team to deliver such high-quality and high-volume product in a short time frame,” Ian notes.
Looking to the future, Ian takes great pride in witnessing their shared projects coming to life, knowing together the partnership plays a vital role in creating homes for many Australian families.
“Our collaboration with SHAPE Homes has been instrumental in scaling our operations. Their reliability and expertise continue to grow their reputation as leaders in the industry, and we are grateful to work alongside such a forward-thinking and professional team that consistently delivers exceptional outcomes.”
