2 our story redefining two storey living It s fair to say that building is in my blood. Growing up with my parents running and owning their own boutique building company, I was given the chance to learn a lot from a very young age. I still remember travelling around the south-west with my Dad, visiting the sites and talking to the different trades that were building his homes. As I got older, I would work weekends labouring for various trades to earn a bit of extra pocket money and this exposed me to many aspects of the building process. At 19, I started my own business manufacturing and supplying building products to the industry. Over the next decade, the business grew organically and became the largest single site manufacturer of its kind in Australia. Personally, I have always taken great pride in providing the best service and innovative solutions to my customers and this philosophy is reflected in the way I run my business. This is something that has never changed and never will. Ben Trager Homes is a culmination of all those collective years of experience, coupled with an unwavering internal drive to be better and achieve more every day. This philosophy is shared by every member of my team and our commitment to all our customers past, present and future is a transparent, honest offer underpinned by the best customer service experience we can provide. Innovation is a concept that is used regularly and for me, true innovation is more than a marketing term - it is the basis of everything we do. It underpins our whole business, and enables us to deliver the best value homes in the market today. Although we currently live a fast paced, ever-changing and technology driven lifestyle, I strongly believe that some things will never change and that affordable, liveable homes built with integrity will stand the test of time. We build homes that you can be proud of, and we re redefining value. Ben Trager Managing Director

3 what we r e about Above and beyond. We don t just meet the mandatory 6 star energy rating, we exceed it. By utilising the latest principles of passive solar design as well as understanding thermal mass, thermal lag and glass to mass ratios, our designers have created a range of homes that are fully compliant in almost all locations and orientations without the need for costly upgrades. Always there. When you build with Ben Trager Homes, you don t just build a new home. You become part of a legacy that is characterised by design, quality, and innovation. What starts as a mutually respecting relationship, will soon develop into a long-term partnership, forged through our ongoing commitment to provide you with outstanding customer service.

In addition, we provide you with a 6 month maintenance period, providing complete peace of mind. Saving you time and money. Through clever design and innovation, we are able to significantly reduce both the processing and construction times for your new home. This will deliver significant savings on your interest holding costs and also reduce the time you need to rent, getting you into your dream home sooner. Devoted to innovation. Dedicated to improving the way we build homes in WA, Ben Trager has personally been awarded by national bodies for delivering innovations in new products and systems to the building industry. By utilising the latest products and technologies, we are able to deliver bigger homes with better inclusions at Perth s best prices.

4 our METHOD the basis of superior building Ben Trager Homes takes environmental sustainability and innovation in residential design and construction very seriously. A combination of light weight panels and double brickwork are used to get the maximum benefit from solar passive energy principles and environmental sustainability. Whilst the lower floor walls are constructed of double clay brick, our upper floor walls are timber framed internally and externally clad in 100mm thick pre-fabricated EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) panels. These EPS panels have an R 3.1 rating and are more energy efficient than brickwork, leading to a saving of up to 50 times on production energy over the life of the building. In addition, the panels have superior insulating properties, are fully recyclable and are unaffected by extreme temperature changes. Composite light weight panel technology has revolutionised the building industry by encouraging a step away from the traditional double brick method of construction. This technology means Ben Trager Homes can produce a fast and efficient build in situ (not off site), whilst still achieving the highest standards in quality and appearance. The concrete slab to the upper floor offers superior insulation. Ben Trager Homes utilises a 5c engineered flooring system to support the upper floor, comprising of steel trusses and a poured concrete slab. The concrete slab to the upper floor offers superior insulation and thermal mass to the dwelling, increases the home s energy efficiency rating and reduces noise transfer. We believe our construction method has advantages that will benefit Western Australian home buyers. Please speak to one of our Building Consultants for more detailed information about our construction methods or ask to see a home under construction.
