THE exciting surge in home building across Greater Shepparton continues to evolve, and Sessions Builders, a local, family-run business, is celebrating 40 years of expertise. Well-positioned to shape the region’s landscape well into 2025 and beyond, Sessions Builders has earned a reputation for delivering quality custom builds. 

Founded in 1985 by Tim Sessions, the business quickly expanded after Tim’s brother David joined as a partner. In 2009, David’s son Clayton brought a fresh yet experienced perspective, securing the multi-generational legacy that business represents today. With over 25 skilled professionals on staff, Sessions Builders has worked on a range of projects, from first homes to luxurious multi-million-dollar residences.

As Shepparton and the surrounding areas continue to thrive, demand for both residential and commercial developments has surged. Sessions Builders has embraced this growth, with units now comprising 50-60 percent of their workload. The company’s hands-on leadership and commitment to client satisfaction set them apart. By working directly with clients and contractors, the team maintains complete control over every aspect of the build, ensuring timely delivery and high-quality results. As Clayton said, 

“When you stay versatile, building everything from units to multi-million-dollar houses for a long time, people remember you and your experience; it builds confidence in the market, and your diversity is your strength. Being a family business with three directors doesn’t only mean that we’ve got full control over the business’ direction and future, but we’re also hands-on and directly accessible to clients, contractors, and our staff. We’ve got a good finger on the pulse of our business.” 

With a keen eye on local needs and industry trends, Sessions Builders is well-equipped to meet the unique needs of homebuilders in 2025 and beyond.
