David Hocking

New Home Sales Consultant

With 15 years of experience in the industry, I’ve built my career around helping families move into their dream homes and guiding them through one of the biggest milestones of their lives.

Living and working in Lucas, I love the vibrancy that comes with a growing new estate — the sense of community, the energy, and the opportunity to watch neighbourhoods take shape. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work on a wide variety of homes, including two stunning high-end Bed & Breakfast builds in Daylesford.

For me, the best part of helping clients is the full journey — from finding a plan that suits their lifestyle, to walking with them through each stage of the build, right through to handover day.

Outside of work, I’m a passionate gardener. Summer evenings spent mowing the lawn or tending to the veggie patch are my favourite way to unwind. If I were an animal, I’d be an owl — always watching, always listening — a calm observer who takes everything in.

If I were to design my own dream home, it would definitely include a large kitchen and pantry, a dedicated home theatre, and a spacious ensuite. I’m especially drawn to homes with courtyards, as they bring beautiful natural light into areas where it’s often hard to reach.

I’m passionate about creating a positive experience for every client, taking the time to understand their needs and guiding them through each step of the journey with clarity and confidence.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active at the gym, spending time at the beach, and making the most of family life with my son. I also appreciate good food and quality time with loved ones.

Jerome Duchenne

New Home Sales Consultant

Bringing over 20 years of experience in the building industry, I'm passionate about helping clients turn their dream homes into reality.

That passion started early, with my parents regularly taking my sisters and me through display homes as a kid, inspiring my interest in home design and construction.

Known for my friendly, calm and solution-focused approach, I enjoy building genuine relationships with my clients and guiding them through every stage of the building journey. I particularly love working with first home buyers, helping them understand the process and feel confident in their decisions.

Having worked extensively throughout Melbourne's south-east, it's a region I've come to know and love. One of my most memorable projects was a custom knockdown rebuild in Oakleigh featuring a four-car garage, six bedrooms and expansive living spaces, creating a truly impressive family home.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me working on cars or spending time in the garden. What I enjoy most about working at Kingsbridge Homes is the positive energy of both our team and our clients, and being able to help bring their dream homes to life.

Karan Lakhan

New Home Sales Consultant

With several years of experience helping people find the right home, I'm passionate about making the home buying journey as smooth, enjoyable and rewarding as possible.

What drew me to the industry was the opportunity to help people during one of the most exciting milestones in their lives. Whether it's a first home, an upgrade or an investment, I enjoy guiding clients through the process and helping them feel confident in their decisions every step of the way.

I love seeing communities grow and evolve, and there's nothing more rewarding than helping someone find a place where they truly feel at home. One of my favourite parts of the job is seeing the excitement on a client's face when they've found the perfect home and can start imagining their future there.

Known for my friendly, honest and dedicated approach, I believe clear communication and genuine support are key to creating a positive building experience. I aim to keep things simple, answer questions openly and ensure my clients feel supported throughout their journey.

Family homes are my favourite type of home to work with because I enjoy helping people find a place they'll love for years to come. If I were designing my dream home, it would feature an open-plan layout, plenty of natural light, a great kitchen and an outdoor entertaining area perfect for bringing family and friends together.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me spending time with family, staying active or exploring new places. What I enjoy most about working at Kingsbridge Homes is being part of a team that's dedicated to helping people achieve their dream of home ownership.

Mark Berrell

New Home Sales Consultant

With 18 years of experience in the building industry, I’m passionate about helping people create homes that truly reflect their lifestyle and aspirations.

My love for the industry comes from combining two things I enjoy most – helping people and designing homes. Whether it's a first home, a knockdown rebuild or a custom design, I take pride in guiding clients through every stage of the journey and making what can feel like a stressful process enjoyable, entertaining and rewarding.

Having lived in the area for more than 30 years, I’ve loved watching the local community grow and evolve. It’s incredibly rewarding helping families build homes in neighbourhoods I know so well and have such a strong connection to.

One of my most memorable projects was designing a stunning Art Deco-inspired custom home in Kensington, a unique project that showcased the creativity and individuality that makes every homebuilding journey different. It's also why I enjoy working on knockdown rebuild projects so much – every site presents new opportunities and challenges, ensuring no two days are ever the same.

Known for my fun, adaptable and client-focused approach, I encourage homebuyers to lean on me throughout the process to help alleviate pressure and make informed decisions with confidence.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me on the golf course or spending quality time with my family. What I love most about working at Kingsbridge Homes is the supportive culture and willingness of everyone to help each other succeed, creating a great experience for both our team and our clients.

Param Grewal

New Home Sales Consultant

Bringing around five years of experience in the building and new-home sales industry, I’m passionate about helping clients find a home that genuinely suits their lifestyle, land and future.

I’ve always been a people person and naturally drawn to sales, but I wanted to work in an industry where the outcome truly meant something. A home is where families grow, milestones are celebrated and memories are created, so being able to guide clients through that journey makes the work incredibly rewarding.

Known for my honest, approachable and solution-focused style, I aim to make the building process feel like a conversation rather than a sales process. Whether I’m assisting a first home buyer who doesn’t know where to begin or finding a creative solution for a challenging block, I want my clients to feel comfortable asking questions and confident in every decision they make.

I particularly enjoy seeing new communities take shape and helping clients imagine what everyday life could look like there. Some of my favourite projects have involved unusual blocks, easements, setbacks or designs that needed creative thinking. Rather than focusing on why something can’t be done, I enjoy exploring how we can make it work and personalising a design to suit each client.

Outside of work, family is a huge part of my life, and I’m a very proud uncle. I’m also passionate about bodybuilding and fitness, love travelling and experiencing different cultures, and enjoy writing and creating music. What I love most about working at Kingsbridge Homes is the welcoming, supportive culture and being part of a down-to-earth team that genuinely wants the best for one another and our clients.

I understand that building a new home is a significant decision, so I take the time to listen carefully, understand what matters most and guide each client through the process with clarity and care.

Whether they’re building their first home, their next family home or exploring their options, I’m always happy to answer questions and provide support along the way.

I particularly enjoy helping clients bring together their ideas, needs and budget to find a home that feels right for them. Seeing their vision begin to take shape and sharing in their excitement is one of the most rewarding parts of my role.

What I enjoy most about working at Kingsbridge Homes is being part of a supportive team that shares a genuine commitment to helping clients create homes they’ll love for years to come.
