That’s exactly what Northbrook Homes founder Simon Marshall did - while selling up to 150+ contracts a year through his family-run company.
Now, for the first time, Simon is opening the doors to a limited number of franchisees across South East Queensland - handing you the proven systems, tools, and personal mentoring that took him from back-breaking site work… to running a business that delivered both profit and freedom.
The Industry Is Tough. But So Are You.

At Northbrook Homes, We Know How Horribly Wrong a Building Company Can Go. Because We’ve Lived it.
Our founder, Simon, was 31 when he was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc. One doctor warned, “Trip in a gutter, and you might never get back up.” That moment forced a decision – to stay on the tools and risk everything… or step into something smarter.
He joined a national franchise and learned what worked – and what didn’t.
Most Franchises are NOT Everything They are Cracked Up to Be
From botched estimating systems to lack of real-world training, Simon saw first hand how good builders fail – not because they weren’t capable, but because they weren’t supported.
Now, Northbrook Homes exists to give you the shortcut he never had.
This is not theory. It’s not corporate fluff. It’s a proven business model built by one of the most successful operations in the country (scaling to 150+ contracts a year while still having time to take family holidays and be there for his kids important milestones).
Born from the blood, sweat, and spreadsheets of someone who’s done it – the Northbrook Homes franchise opportunity makes it faster, easier, and safer for you to build the lifestyle and legacy you want to create.
This Isn’t Theory. It’s a Proven, Builder-Tested System You Can Plug Into from Day One.
The Estimating Engine That Protects Your Profits
400+ Designer-Grade Plans (Plus 50 Bonus Variations)
Real Coaching From Someone Who’s Done It
Done-For-You Marketing That Actually Delivers Leads
Systems That Scale Without the Chaos
A Brand With Weight, Backed By Real Builders
This Isn’t for Everyone - and That’s Exactly the Point
We’re not looking for dabblers. We’re not here to hold hands. And we’re definitely not building a franchise for anyone chasing a hobby business.
The Northbrook Homes system is built for family-run operators and experienced tradespeople who want more.
More time. More profit. More control. And a legacy worth passing down.
If you do fit that picture…
Don’t Apply Unless You’re A Builder With Fire In Your Belly
Let’s be real: This isn’t easy. But it’s worth it.
The Northbrook Homes system is designed to help you build 10 - 50 homes a year (or more) - with systems that protect your margins, marketing that delivers real leads, and mentoring that’s been forged in the real world.
Builders at that level often generate between $500,000 to $1,000,000+ in net profit per year.
And more importantly - they gain back their freedom.
If that lights you up, we should talk.
But if you want comfort, coasting, or a quick fix - this isn’t for you.
There’s Never Been a Better Time to Stake Your Claim
Now’s the moment for smart, family-run builders to step up, stand out, and lead the next generation of trusted operators. Here’s why:
The Old Guard Is Falling Apart
Trust Is the New Currency
You Don’t Have to Go It Alone
Support Like You’ve Never Seen
Get In While It’s Ground Floor
Timing Matters
No Excuses. Just the Truth.
We’re not here to babysit.
We’re not here to convince.
We’re here to partner with leaders - builders who are ready to grow, coachable enough to follow proven systems, and hungry enough to chase the life they and their families deserve.
If you’re waiting for permission…
If you’re looking for a shortcut…
If you want a brand without putting in the work…
Please close this page.
But if you’ve been grinding for years, quoting late into the night, bleeding margin on every build…
And you're ready to build something real - we’re ready to show you how.
The Gap Is Widening — Which Side Will You Be On?
Every month, more builders are getting squeezed - by rising costs, poor systems, and an industry that’s changing faster than most can keep up.
But a small group of smart, forward-thinking operators are preparing to do things differently.
With the right systems, the right support, and the right brand - this next decade could be your most profitable yet.
Northbrook Homes isn’t a theory.
It’s a builder-forged blueprint - proven in the real world by someone who scaled from a small crew to 150+ contracts a year while still making it home for dinner.
Now, for the first time, that blueprint is being opened to a select few.
You won’t just get a brand.
You’ll get the roadmap to build faster, quote with precision, protect your margins - and finally create a business that fits your family and future.
Let others keep grinding, guessing, and hoping.
You’ve found a better way.
Meet Simon Marshall - The Builder Behind the Brand
"I built this for the version of me who was drowning. If you’re serious, I’ll walk the path with you. But I don’t chase. You come to me."
Simon’s been where you are.
The late nights quoting.
The gut-punch of vanishing margins.
The exhaustion of working harder every year—for less.
Then he built a better way.
He created the systems, the team, and the structure to grow from 10 builds a year… to over 150 - without burning out, breaking down, or missing what mattered most. Now, for the first time, he’s offering that same system to builders who are ready to change their future.
This isn’t theory.
It’s real.
It’s builder-forged.
And it’s ready when you are.
