For us, family runs much deeper than the four walls of a home, it’s woven into the very foundations of Traquair Homes.

The name Traquair comes from our family property, once a part of a larger farming estate, Traquair, is a name we are both incredibly sentimental of and proud to carry forward. Originally settled by Scottish couple Owen and Agnes O’Donnell, the property has since remained in the McIntosh family for generations. It represents our heritage, our connection to the land and the family history that has shaped who we are today.

Building is a strong part of our family story. Robert is one of four builders in his immediate family, growing up surrounded by the trade and learning the value of quality workmanship, hard work and doing things properly. Natasha grew up with her grandfather, a builder himself who also grew up in the Gympie region, giving her an early connection to the industry and an appreciation for the knowledge and craftsmanship that comes from generations of experience.

Today, we’re raising four children of our own, and family remains at the heart of ‘why’. We’re building more than a business; we’re building a future for our family, while also having the privilege of being part of other families’ journeys as they build a home of their own.

That perspective naturally shapes the way we build. We understand that a home is never just timber and finishes. It’s where life happens; where families grow, memories are made, and people come together. Our heritage gave Traquair Homes its foundations, but it’s our commitment to family and community is what continues to shape who we are today.
