It had rapid growth between 2007-2009, becoming a BGC Plasterboard franchisee with 30 employees and a distributor of USG Boral Plasterboard. In December 2013, the company opened its flagship national headquarters at South Granville, as Australia Building Centre, on a warehouse site comprising over twenty thousand square metres, showrooms, and an undercover loading area of over two thousand square metres.
