For nearly 40 years, JG King Homes has been a leader in innovative construction of project homes, offering Victorian families quality homes with unrivalled structural warranties. As a family-owned business, JG King has earned the trust of its customers, delivering a 50-year structural warranty on all homes — an industry-leading assurance of their commitment to quality. As the only volume home builder in Victoria to provide steel frames as standard, JG King differentiates itself with TRUECORE® steel, ensuring strength, durability, and peace of mind for homeowners.
A key to JG King’s success is its vertical integration. The company not only manufactures its own steel framing, but also operates Project Windows and Doors, a window fabricating business supplying all of JG King’s new home builds, as well as other smaller builders and renovators across the region. This control over materials and processes enables JG King to maintain high standards of quality while innovating ahead of industry trends.
After the Federal Government first proposed increasing the minimum energy efficiency standard for new homes from 6-star to 7-star, JG King Homes responded swiftly. Already committed to sustainability and energy efficiency, the company saw this as an opportunity to enhance its offerings. ‘We’ve always been ahead of the curve in adopting better building practices’, says John King, Executive Director of JG King Homes. ‘When the government signalled the shift to a 7-star energy rating, we began testing our materials and designs to meet the new standards well before they became mandatory. We have never been scared to take a risk and choose what we believe are better building elements for our homes’, King says.
Following extensive research, JG King turned to uPVC, realising that double-glazed aluminium windows couldn’t achieve the necessary thermal performance. ‘I looked at what was happening in Europe and the USA, where uPVC dominates the market’, says King, ‘the systems, machinery and processes around uPVC were far more advanced than aluminium. It was a clear decision to move forward with uPVC.’
Selecting the right supplier was crucial. ‘We needed a partner who could meet our high demands for volume, consistency and quality’, King notes. After a thorough investigation, aluplast was chosen for its quality, performance, capacity to supply, customer service and modern aesthetic. JG King Homes made significant investments in new equipment and technologies, importing stateof-the-art machinery from Italy for uPVC fabrication. JG King now manufactures the only uPVC windows in Australia with V-Perfect technology, which creates a truly seamless weld that maintains a perfect appearance for decades.
‘Our factory now operates with a level of automation that’s vastly superior to an aluminium setup. It’s allowed us to produce windows with a seamless weld and a cleaner finish — something our customers really appreciate.’
This investment has not only improved the quality of JG King’s window systems, but also increased their production capacity. ‘We can now manufacture double the quantity of windows we need for our own builds’, King reveals.
The benefit of aluplast uPVC systems extends beyond energy efficiency. ‘These windows offer superior thermal insulation, soundproofing and security’, King says, ‘they’re also completely recyclable and reusable, which aligns with our commitment to sustainability. aluplast has a closed-loop recycling system, meaning they pick up all our waste and reuse it in other products. It’s a perfect fit for our environmental goals.’
Introducing aluplast uPVC systems before Victoria’s 7-star introduction in 2024, has proven to be a game-changer for JG King Homes. ‘The feedback from our customers has been fantastic’, King shares. ‘People can’t believe how quiet, comfortable, and secure their homes are. It’s a real testament to the quality of the product.’
In a rapidly evolving industry, JG King Homes continues to set standards for quality, innovation, and sustainability. Through forward-thinking and strategic partnerships, they are meeting today’s market demands and helping shape the future of Australian homebuilding.
