O’Reilly states, “Barrett Homes is known to have a great culture, where people want to come to work. We work very closely with our contractors when solving problems to improve today so we can enjoy tomorrow. We pride ourselves on completing a build within suitable timeframes and understand this is absolutely critical to the success of our business. We have a very experienced and professional construction management team who are about quality and safety and doing what we say we will. Knowing our clients are getting a high quality product is the very antidote that will have clients share with friends and family about how happy and easy the process was. Word of mouth is still marketing 101 and a very influential tool to gain more business and build more homes”. Because the business is young and much of the revenue is invested into land acquisition and development, there isn’t a huge budget for marketing via conventional TV and radio advertisements. So the team at Barrett came up with an intriguing alternative. Knowing how people love home renovation shows, they decided to take part in an upcoming TV building show. Working hand in hand with the production company, they now have three episodes as part of ‘Dream Home Dilemma.’ Each one was produced in an area where Barrett Homes operate. The concept was designed to share what the company does. To let people know it has a transparent process; that they make it simple from the beginning right through to completion. It also introduces the Barrett Better Build Programme that maps out the process and how customers can participate. The episodes will be airing on Prime TV. The project went so well that they’re also filming another series: six 30-minute episodes, all around the building process and focusing on house affordability, employing locals, and using natural materials.
