It's made a net profit of nearly $28 million dollars for the half year ended July 26, just 1.3 percent down on last year.
Briscoe Group managing director, Rod Duke told Heather du Plessis-Allan there's extraordinary demand in the suburbs after 50 days in lockdown.
"There's a bit more money in households from cancelled holidays, so people are spending it on their home."
Briscoe Group had put dividends on hold because of Covid-19.
