The father-and-son team behind Coast to Coast Homes has closed an associated joinery business less than a year after opening its doors on the Croydon Park site of their failed house building company.

Auction house Mason Gray Strange will on Wednesday hold a public auction of machinery, tools, cabinetry and equipment of Regency Custom Cabinets, whose directors are Coast to Coast Homes duo Sean Craven and his son Steven.

The MGS website says the auction is under instructions from “beneficiaries of Regency Kitchens (sic) due to closure”.`

MGS auctioneer Andrew Maros said the beneficiary was a relative who provided funds to establish the business.

ASIC searches show that Sean and Steven Craven registered Regency Custom Cabinets on July 19 last year.

Their partners Margaret Nelson and Amanda Craven are joint shareholders.

The Advertiser attempted to contact Sean and Steven Craven for comment.

Coast to Coast Homes had 98 projects on its books when it collapsed in May, owing at least $3.7 million to nearly 300 creditors.

Steven Craven cancelled an interview with The Advertiser that was scheduled for last Friday.

A week earlier Ms Craven, said via a text message that her husband would “like to not only speak about Coast to Coast but the construction industry as a whole”.

The Advertiser’s interview offer stands.

The Advertiser revealed this month that Coast to Coast Homes had built houses in a Mt Barker subdivision without telling the council or providing proof of building insurance.
