Renovate-and-stay

25% of approvals are alterations and additions, so the work here is improving homes, not replacing them, your customer is a settled owner-occupier.

Investor-active

17% of approvals are dual-occupancy, subdivision or granny flats, above the 16% coast norm, so a real share of the work is yield-driven, developers and landlords, not just homeowners.

Big-ticket jobs

the typical $90k approval is about 13% of the $680k median home, these are substantial transformations, not cosmetic touch-ups.
