🧱 Laying the Foundations — Brick by Brick 🏡

There’s something special about watching the very beginning of a home come to life — and this build at Pokolbin is no exception.

An early morning meeting with Lorenzo from LJ Concreting kicked off the day on-site, as the foundations start to take shape.

We’re loving the character-rich, recycled bricks already going in — chosen for their rustic charm and story-filled texture. These bricks will soon become the heart of this home, bringing warmth and timeless appeal to the finished build.

We’re not just laying bricks — we’re laying the foundations of our client’s future.
Stay tuned… this one’s going to be a beauty.

These cabins aren’t just buildings. They’re vessels for memory-making — soft places to land when it matters most.

🌿 My Vision for Aluxria 🌿

Most of you have heard Steve’s passion for addressing the housing crisis through Aluxria. My dream carries a different note — just as close to my heart.

As a celebrant and end-of-life doula, I see Aluxria cabins as more than just beautiful structures. I envision them as sacred spaces for life’s most tender and powerful moments.

✨ For brides, a luxurious sanctuary to prepare for their ceremony and celebrate their first night — nestled beside vineyards, tucked away in nature, or at romantic wedding venues.

✨ For those nearing life’s end, a serene, dignified setting where love, peace, and comfort can be prioritised. Spaces that honour the transition, with beauty and care — because our endings deserve as much reverence as our beginnings.

These cabins aren’t just buildings. They’re vessels for memory-making — soft places to land when it matters most.

With love,
Leanne 💫

Call to Action for Rock Solid x Innovation 200 x HALO

We’re not waiting for the system to fix itself.
We’re building the next one—with our hands, our land, and our values.

Through the HALO housing model, we’re unlocking land and empowering Australians to live affordably, with dignity and autonomy. This is about real homes—not band-aid fixes. It’s about reigniting the role of the builder, the farmer, the doer.

If you’re someone who:
• Owns land and wants to be part of the solution
• Builds with purpose and wants to shape something meaningful
• Feels the system’s broken—and knows we can do better

Then join the movement.
Innovation 200 isn’t another talkfest—it’s a builder’s revolution. A civic shift. And we’re bringing the tools.

Australia stands at a crossroads. We were once a nation that dared – settling a vast continent and building communities from scratch, pioneering democracy, inventing refrigeration for a hot country, building world-class infrastructure, and leading in life-changing medical research.

Being a builder has given me more than just a trade. It’s given me access to people. Real people. Families with stories, values, and wisdom you can’t learn from a book.

One of those people was a man named Clem. I was building a house for his son—an engineer—on the land next door, part of the family farm. Clem was in his 80s at the time. Every morning, without fail, he’d come over with a grin and a cheerful “Good morning everybody!” like it was the best day of his life.

He had a couple of sayings that stuck with me:
👉 “Better to wear out than rust out.”
👉 “Everything happens for a reason.”

Over a decade later, I still hear them in my head.

Clem had a life rooted in purpose. He ran a farm on the flats along the river at Raymond Terrace—grew barley, put it on the punt, and sent it down to Pitt Street in Sydney. Old school. Had 10 kids. One daughter had MS, and Clem put a lift in his two-storey house just for her—never used it for himself. He took the steep stairs every day.

And get this: every one of his kids ended up with a farm of their own. That was his goal. He worked hard, did well in business, and made it happen. Not for ego, not for show. For family.

But here’s what we missed back then:
I’d be willing to bet every single one of those kids also went on to university—and made something of themselves. Because Clem didn’t just build a life for them…
He built them.

And this is the part I keep coming back to:
When you build your life around your family—when they are your reason—it brings alignment. It brings drive. And it shows in your work.

Too often, we see the other side. Chasing money. Kids pushed aside, handed off to daycares, given things instead of time. Some call it spoiling. Others left to their own devices , with parents repeating the cycle before them thing is children need presence. Connection. That’s what shapes them.

Clem’s story reminds me that the best innovation doesn’t always come from flashy ideas—it comes from deep roots. From caring. From being all in for your family. And when you’re surrounded by that—when you’re building not just a house, but a legacy—it shows. In every nail. Every conversation. Every morning greeting.

Even in his 70s, Clem nearly lost his arm to a PTO accident on the tractor. Shirt got caught. Tore skin, muscle—nearly cost him his life. But not Clem. He healed, got back up, and kept going. Because like he said:
Everything happens for a reason.

We need more people like Clem. More families like his. And more builders who can see not just the structure, but the soul behind it.

🏗️ Rock Solid Foundations
At Rock Solid Design & Construction, we don’t just pour concrete—we lay down legacies.

This is where the next generation’s memories begin. In the middle of a paddock, under open skies, with machines humming and boots in the dirt, we build homes meant to stand the test of time. Homes that future generations will grow in, dream in, and pass down.

It’s not just about strength and structure—it’s about soul.
Because when you build with heart, the future notices.

Quality That Endures.
