For more than 50 years the Finlay family has built one of the most reputable and trusted names in North Queensland’s building industry.

From father Reg Finlay’s first day on the job in 1950 until today, with son Darren Finlay at the helm of Finlay Homes, the family has overseen the construction of hundreds of quality houses.

While Reg and his wife Jan are now happily retired in Cardwell, Finlay Homes continues to go from strength-to-strength under the leadership and vision of Darren, a young veteran of the industry with more than 18 years of experience.

But like the old saying goes, behind every good man is an even better woman, and Darren is no exception to the rule. Darren’s wife Jane plays a crucial role in the operations of the Finlay Homes business but keeps even busier at home by raising their twin boys, Colby and Hunter.

Like the twins, Finlay Homes continues to grow quickly and it is now one of the largest builders in Townsville, while its operations are also expanding in Cairns.

Darren has invested heavily into the company’s resources in order to build a team of specialist staff that can guide buyers along every step of the building process, from the initial concepts through to completion.

But no matter how fast the company continues to grow, Darren hasn’t lost sight of what led Finlay Homes to this position to provide exceptional customer service and attention to detail.

Not one to rest on its achievements, Finlay Homes is constantly looking to the future to provide clients with the latest trends, technologies and sustainability principals ahead of time.

For this reason, Darren takes his role as President of the Housing Industry of Australia’s Northern Australia branch very seriously as it provides insight and practical solutions for many facets of the rapidly changing industry.

When building with Finlay Homes, a company that is so steeped in history yet so focused on the future, you can bet your house that you’re getting Homes For Life.
