This article is about the building company in Australia. For the housing association group in England, see Orbit Group.

In Victoria, Orbit Homes has display houses in: Eynesbury, Point Cook, Tarneit, Craigieburn, Doreen, Epping, Mernda and Cranbourne. In Queensland, display villages are in: Caboolture, North Lakes, Griffin, Warner, Mountain Creek, Springfield Lakes, Upper Coomera, and Waterford.

Orbit Homes offers house designs specific to each state it operates in, as well as some common to both states.

Orbit Homes won a contract from Defence Housing Australia (DHA) as part of the Nation Building – Economic Stimulus Plan in 2009. It was a relatively small contract for 41 houses. However, the company was able to keep and hire staff during tough economic times of 2009 and 2010.[2]

The main competitor companies are: Mirvac Group, BGC (Australia) Pty Ltd and AVJennings Ltd.[3]

Awards

Orbit Homes won some significant building awards from Housing Industry Association (HIA) and Master Builder Association (MBA) in Australia. There are also smaller awards within various housing estates (at least 15 between 2003 and 2005).[4] However, as with other building companies, the customer satisfaction varies.[5]
