About Us
Hometec Industries is a family-owned construction business based in Melbourne, specialising in custom homes designed to reflect your unique lifestyle. We believe your home should be built around the way you live — not the other way around.
Founded in 1985 by Nick Di Iorio, a mechanical engineer with a deep passion for construction and architectural design, Hometec has grown through decades of hands-on experience, innovation, and integrity.
Today, with over 40 years in the industry, the next generation of our family continues to help Melburnians bring their dream homes to life. Our mission is to build homes that not only meet your needs but also become the backdrop for a lifetime of cherished memories.
Let us help you create a home that’s truly yours — without compromise.
Our Focus
Too many builders take a cookie-cutter approach to home design—everything ends up looking the same, with little creativity or individuality. At Hometec, we believe your home should be a true reflection of your lifestyle, not just a standard template.
With over 4,000 homes built, our experience speaks for itself. Along the way, we’ve forged strong, long-term relationships with some of the most skilled and reliable tradespeople in the industry. In fact, many of our current contractors started with us as apprentices and are now running their own successful businesses—still proudly working alongside Hometec. This continuity means a trusted, experienced team working on your home, reducing the risk of budget blowouts and costly delays.
Plus, our extensive network of suppliers opens the door to a wide selection of high-end fixtures and finishes to help bring your vision to life. With Hometec, you’ll build the perfect home you’ve always wanted—on time, within budget, and with a team that’s as passionate about the result as you are.
