Diane Coventry, Owner
Diane’s dad was a builder but she never imagined she’d follow in his footsteps. Only after she started working for Suncity Homes in 1998 an administration and accounting position, did she start to realise her passion for designing and building houses. When the opportunity to buy Suncity Homes came up, Diane not only decided to buy the business; she learned everything she could about the industry firsthand by becoming a licensed builder.
Even today, Diane is one of just a handful of female licensed builders in Queensland. Her organisational skills and process-driven building and management practices ensure the success of every project we put our name to.
Diane’s background in finance and a Masters in Professional Accounting gives her a complete understanding of company management and the requirements and costs involved in building complex custom homes.
Even after being involved in building multimillion-dollar homes for decades, Diane still sights building a stunning new home for her parents on their retirement to the Sunshine Coast as a personal highlight.
When she’s not overseeing the business, visiting building sites and obsessing over rooflines, Diane loves to travel. She even visited Antarctica looking for something completely different from the tropical beaches of Noosa.
Diane has lived in some of the Sunshine Coast’s most stunning beach resort towns and can’t imagine ever living anywhere else.
