A newer Belconnen suburb
Lawson, ACT has been developed since the 2010s on land beside Ginninderra Creek, near the University of Canberra. Its housing is contemporary: detached homes, townhouses and apartments.
Personalising a new home
Typical work in a new home is replacing builder-grade paint with a washable finish, adding colour or a feature wall, and filling the small settlement cracks that appear in the first years. Apartment owners also repaint before leasing, often to students or staff at the nearby university.

Apartments, townhouses and new homes in Lawson
Lawson’s mix of new detached homes, townhouses and apartments, close to the University of Canberra and Belconnen town centre, suits both owner-occupiers and investors. For investors, a durable neutral finish and a record of colours keeps touch-ups between tenancies simple. For owner-occupiers, the brief is usually personalising builder white with colour or a feature wall. In apartment buildings we follow the by-laws on work hours and lift bookings, and protect common areas on the way in and out.
A note on newer homes
If your home is still under a builder’s warranty, raise building defects with the builder before repainting over them. More on painting in Belconnen.
Common questions
Do you paint apartments for landlords?
Yes, including repaints between tenancies.
Our new home has small cracks already. Is that normal?
Some fine cracking is common as a house settles. Larger cracks should be raised with your builder.
Can you paint an apartment between student tenancies?
Yes. Tell us the vacancy dates and we’ll plan the work around them.
