JZ Homes is a leading development company owned and run by James Scremin and Zep (Guiseppe) Lanza. Starting operations in 2018, the business has completed numerous developments including Willandra Gardens and Clifton Gardens, with Lake Gardens soon to commence.
Whilst the company is relatively young, the people behind the company have been developing and constructing for years. Zep and James have been designing, developing, building and managing all types of buildings over the last 30 years. The buildings have included units, houses, grand homes, industrial sheds and shopping centres.
Zep has been involved in the building industry for all of his professional career, both as a building designer and in engineering and structural design rolls. His design portfolio includes many of the cities iconic buildings, a vast array of unit & villa projects and homes of all sizes, styles and configuration
His passion is to create stylish, functional, sustainable and affordable homes for everyone. JZ Homes provides him the opportunity to fulfill this passion
“I really love the homes we build, I love that the people who live in our homes appreciate the quality, functionality and liveability of them and I want to keep building better homes in the future.”
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.”

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