James Scremin

James is a Griffith local and his career has been diverse whilst ironically consistent – building and running different businesses and property development projects that focus on making a difference. He loves the permanency that buildings and homes provide – something that can be used by different people for different uses over generations.

JZ Homes also provides an outlet for his creative side that the financial, marketing and engineering background could never do. Being able to design and build homes that can make life a little better, more satisfying, something they feel proud of and a place they want to share with their friends.

“I love looking at beautiful homes, how the design, materials and colours come together to create places you want to spend time in and admire. Being able to create that for other people and see them really happy with their home is a great feeling.”

Our Business Model

At JZ Homes, our expertise extends beyond designing and constructing individual homes; we develop entire residential subdivisions, ensuring a comprehensive approach to community planning and development.

We are involved in all aspects of our developments such as:

  • Finding and negotiating the purchase of land for developments.
  • Designing the subdivision and managing the consultant team and authorities to achieve development consents and construction certificates.
  • Our in-house design team designs each home individually for each residential lot to achieve unparalleled street aesthetics and beautifully designed, functional homes.
  • Manage the construction team down to individual trades to ensure we have the best people delivering quality work.


The business model we have adopted is unique for regional Australia. The combination of the volume of lots to develop and the development of every home on these lots will mark a turning point for residential development. This is not the traditional “house and land” package often seen in Australia. The sale process only commences once the home is completed with landscaping, window furnishings, and more.

Our long-term objective is to create a new benchmark for housing liveability in regional Australia. Many factors need to be deeply considered, evolved, designed and executed at a high standard to achieve this objective, and whilst this standard is difficult to achieve, it is possible with the developers combined experience, knowledge, capacity and drive.

Our Vision

At the heart of our property developments lies a commitment to delivering finely crafted and expertly constructed homes nested within thoughtfully planned subdivisions, all situated in prime locations.

Our mission is to create bespoke living spaces that transcend the ordinary, elevating the quality of life for every homeowner. Our vision is to redefine the concept of home, fostering comfort, well-being, and a sense of community, ultimately inspiring a life of fulfilment and joy for those who dwell within our creations.

Our aim is to have the people who purchase and live in our completed homes:

  • Appreciate their suburb whilst driving down their street on their way home from work.
  • Enjoy walking through the various parks and green corridors in the subdivision on a Sunday morning before breakfast.
  • Have homeowners spend more time living in their outdoor living areas because of the reduced heat load in the subdivision and the landscaping appeal of not only their backyard, but the views to their neighbours backyard landscaped canopies.
  • Spend less time driving by being able to walk their children to school and quick commutes to the CBD.


This vision can only be achieved if the entire subdivision is planned and executed cohesively.
