The relationship between the builder and the developer has a special interest to a property owner. In the case of Kensington Gardens, they have had a consistent relationship with Alatalo Bros for more than a decade.

Alatalo Bros general manager, Tony Moyle said, “Having an open mind to suggestions and ideas on both sides allows us to construct a building that meets the demands of our client, Kensington Gardens, and the residents.”

Site supervisor, Andrew Croxford has recently joined the team coming on-board as a licenced builder and carpenter. “Construction here is fairly unique since we only have to move into the next home to be on the next job. With very few exceptions, all the sub-contractors and suppliers are Shepparton based so it gives us a good chance to manage the process in a timely fashion and preserve the quality we are pursuing,” he said.

All the homes in Kensington Gardens are architect-designed and residents moving into new houses have a big say in the design from deciding the exterior brickwork to the internal finishes including tiles, benches, carpets and cupboard finishes.

Peter Stanbrook, manager of Kensington Gardens said, “Apart from being an excellent home and resort builder, Alatalo Bros have gained a well-deserved reputation over the years for delivering the highest quality homes at an affordable price and on time.”
