Builders to the Nation: The AV Jennings Story by historian Don Garden charts the rise of one of Australia’s most recognisable construction and real-estate empires. This 1992 paperback traces the company’s journey from Depression-era beginnings to becoming a household name on suburban streets nationwide.
Ideal for builders, property buffs and business-history enthusiasts, the book dissects post-war housing booms, iconic project-home designs and the marketing savvy that put AV Jennings on the map. Garden blends corporate records with cultural snapshots, showing how a family firm shaped Australia’s suburban dream.
This used copy remains in very good shape: a smooth, uncreased spine, bright pages and only two dog-eared corners to hint at gentle reading. A previous owner’s personal stamp appears discreetly on the front endpaper; otherwise the text block is free of notes and smoke-free.
