Resilience renos

Discover how we upgraded the homes on a real street in QLD with resilient features.

At Suncorp, we understand that every home and situation is different, especially when it comes to resilience. So, we set out to demonstrate that making your home more resilient can be practical and affordable, even on a typical Queensland street. 



Taking the learnings and our experience with One House, we embarked on a project to put these ideas into action, by implementing a range of practical and affordable resilient upgrades to houses on a real street in the beautiful, weather-prone Rockhampton, Queensland.
