Profile

In the late 1960’s, sons Bill and John took over the building business and to this day John remains proprietor with his son Ryan Moody as Architect and General Manager for the company. Having such a long association with the local area, the business has seen and responded to many changes as better roads have made the area more accessible to Melbourne based residents. In the early years with land in plentiful supply and a ‘buyers market’ for real estate, Seaspray Homes responded with a selection of Project Homes that could be completed to various stages such as lockup or finish off right to completion. As a reaction to the market, these homes were well built but a little ‘spartan’ by today’s standards.


As the market matured and clients expectations expanded, Seaspray Homes moved with the times, developing a design service proven over time to be responsive to our clients needs. Our business continues to grow in response to client demand, completing domestic construction projects with either modest budgets or projects in the multi-million dollar range.
