A Partnership Built on Quality & Communication

From the very first wall frame to large-scale townhouse developments, the partnership between Melbourne's Inotek Timber Systems and SHAPE Homes has been one built on consistency, trust, and shared goals.

Back in 2019, SHAPE Homes was the very first builder to receive a frame off the Inotek production line, a milestone moment that marked the beginning of something special. Fast forward to today, and we’re still working together on major projects like The Crescent, South Morang, a 113 double-storey townhouse project currently underway. It’s a collaboration that continues to grow stronger with every build.

SHAPE Homes has carved out a strong name in Melbourne’s residential construction space, delivering more than 1,500 homes for investors, owner occupiers, and developers. They specialise in turnkey solutions for detached homes, townhouses, and medium-density projects, always with a hands-on, detail-focused approach.

At Inotek, we provide complete off-site timber systems for the residential and commercial building industry including wall frames, posi joists, roof trusses, and floor cassettes, all made in our 4,500m² Melbourne facility using cutting edge software and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC).

Together, we share a commitment to doing things properly, delivering high-quality, efficient outcomes while making the process as smooth as possible for everyone involved.

Even during the height of the pandemic when timber and labour shortages were putting pressure on the entire industry, SHAPE Homes backed the partnership. Instead of scaling back, they increased their monthly orders with Inotek, showing their forward-thinking mindset and commitment to long term relationships.

“In an industry where adaptability and trust are essential, SHAPE Homes have always stood out,” says Ian Ashby, Managing Director at Inotek. “From day one, it felt like a genuine partnership, not just a supplier-client relationship.”

Thanks to their experienced site teams and clear communication, jobs are expertly managed, deliveries stay on schedule, and any last-minute changes are handled with ease. It’s the kind of working relationship that makes everyone’s job easier.

Each month, we’re proud to support SHAPE Homes across 20 to 40 builds around Victoria. That kind of result speaks volumes about the strength of the collaboration.

Our current project with SHAPE Homes, 113 double-storey townhouses in South Morang, is another example of the scale and trust that defines our partnership. Inotek is supplying all frames, posi joists, and roof trusses, helping bring this high-volume development to life.

As both businesses continue to grow, the partnership between Inotek and SHAPE Homes is a great example of what can happen when two teams are aligned in purpose and committed to quality.

We’re proud to have been there since the very beginning, and we look forward to many more successful builds together, one frame at a time.

If you are a Melbourne Builder and need timber frames, trusses or panels, but reliable, sustainable and community focused service, then Inotek Timber Systems is for you.
