One month to go! We are honoured to be the Principal Sponsor of the Golf Day in on 20 February 2026.

"Design & Build are proud to be returning as Principal Sponsor of the Property Industry Foundation Golf Day, held at the beautiful Portsea Golf Club on the Mornington Peninsula.

Following positive feedback from 2025 on both the events organisation & the quality of the Golf Course, this year's golf day sold out in record time. We are now looking forward to welcoming our clients, industry peers, community partners and guests for an important day of fundraising in support of the outstanding work the Property Industry Foundation does to help end youth homelessness.

It promises to be a fantastic round of golf for an absolutely brilliant cause. We look forward to seeing you all on February 20th", said our State Manager, Blair Hickman.
