Our Way

We Live and Love What We Do

Incorporated in 1978, our family brand has been a part of the Queensland reno scene for over 50 years. Very few businesses can say this and our history is as colourful as it is long.
David & Meryl believe the success of what began over a half-century ago has been about building and forming partnerships that allow them to foster and embrace a longevity and optimism rarely showcased by their competitors.

Originally the business was well known for house removals and restumping, lowering, raising and levelling. In later years we grew to incorporate (at the time) a ready mix concrete delivery, earthmoving and landscape supplies business. The concrete delivery part of the business was sold in the 1990s to Boral Australia.

The Hose Family is passionate about providing a complete service offering to residential and commercial customers. With the sale of the house removal side of things to Busby’s Transport in 2000, we seized the opportunity to extend our solid and reliable reputation into the area of licensed demolition and asbestos removal.

David and Meryl are a team within our team and believe their success has been gradually building for many years through lots of hard work, mutually beneficial business relationships and knowing and working with their family, plus some great friends and skilled staff.

Since the late 1960’s the renovation business has been very much front and centre for the pioneers that started what is now known as the ‘Hose Family’ business set-up!
