The market leader in the Western Australian residential construction sector is BGC, a group that also has building materials assets. It has been the largest home builder nationwide as well for most of the past 10 years, only occasionally surpassed by Metricon. The number of new home starts in 2013 was 3,400 for BGC and 2,800 for Metricon. The two have now formed a new joint venture named Homefirst, which will initially be active in the Melbourne market’s budget segment
