Silkwood packages are sold to investors by third-party marketers as well as directly, so the price structure is the key thing to check. This Silkwood Homes review covers the builder, its products, how its packages are sold, and what to check before you sign.
Who Is Silkwood Homes?
Silkwood Homes Pty Ltd has held an ABN since 2011, and Silkwood Homes (NSW) Pty Ltd since 2012. Both are registered on the Gold Coast. According to Silkwood’s website:
- Its head office is at Indy Court, Carrara, on the Gold Coast, with offices also listed in Ballina and Newcastle
- It describes itself as family-owned
- Its website shows QBCC licence 1218048, NSW licence 248052C and HIA membership
- It lists HIA Affordable Housing awards from 2020 and a 2025 award for disability housing
Where Silkwood Homes Builds
Silkwood builds in South East Queensland, including Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich, the Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba, and in Newcastle and the Northern Rivers in NSW. For NDIS disability housing, it says it builds in South East Queensland, with family homes only in Northern NSW and Newcastle. It is listed as a builder at estates including Windaroo Green.
Silkwood Homes Packages, Dual Occupancy and NDIS Homes
Silkwood lists more than 40 designs, such as Kew 188, Mornington 175 and St Kilda 200, plus dual-occupancy designs including the Dual Keilor range and the Altona duplex. It promotes dual living for “increased income for investors”, and builds SDA homes across several design categories, from Improved Liveability to High Physical Support.
Its website promotes “turn-key fixed pricing”, “full turn-key inclusions” and “no hidden costs”. We found no published prices on its website. Its investor page also mentions “property managers who can provide rental guarantees”, without saying who provides them or on what terms.
Silkwood states a 20-year structural warranty and a 12-month maintenance warranty. Ask how these work alongside the statutory home warranty cover in Queensland or NSW.
How Silkwood Homes Packages Are Sold
Silkwood has a dedicated investor page, and its homes are also sold by third-party marketers. For example, Dual Income Invest, a division of Oliver Homes Pty Ltd, says “Silkwood Homes is the preferred builder for properties marketed by Oliver Homes”, and promotes dual-income homes with weekly rent figures.
What it means for you: when a package is sold through a marketer or investment group, that seller is commonly paid a commission by the builder or developer. That commission is part of the package price, whether or not it’s shown on the contract. Builder commissions can run into tens of thousands of dollars. Here’s how hidden commissions in house and land packages work.
