to help — her communication has made the whole process feel much easier. Even when we faced issues with the kitchen team (INZ) and a period where the build stalled due to scheduling, Kirstie stayed proactive and supportive. She’s been a real bright spot in the journey, and we’re genuinely happy with the way she’s looked after us so far. We hope the rest of the project continues just as smoothly and that we keep working well together right through to completion.

found the right team for the job, and that confidence was well placed throughout the build. They were consistently responsive, addressing any concerns quickly and brought a level of knowledge and craftsmanship that gave us real peace of mind. They were also happy to give us flexibility to work directly with their recommended trades, like landscaping. It felt less like hiring a builder and more like partnering with one to bring the project from concept to completion. We would absolutely recommend and build with Hotondo Mid North Coast again!

beautiful new home. We absolutely love it and are incredibly grateful for the support, guidance and professionalism shown throughout the entire process.

As we were relocating to Coffs Harbour from interstate, the prospect of building a home felt quite daunting. However, the Stroud team made the experience smooth and stress-free. They kept us regularly updated throughout the build, including sharing photos of the progress, which provided great reassurance that everything was moving along smoothly and gave us confidence every step of the way.

From our very first interaction through to handover, the team was fantastic to deal with. Communication was excellent, and we always felt well informed and kept up to date at every stage of the journey. This is the second time that we have build a new home and I can honestly say that the service and build quality that we experienced through Stroud Homes, was night and day compared with our previous build.

The quality of the build is outstanding, and the attention to detail really sets Stroud Homes apart. Everything was finished to a high standard. The team was also flexible and willing to work closely with us to ensure that our home reflects exactly what we were looking for.

Building a home can be a challenging experience, but Stroud Homes made it an enjoyable one. We are thrilled with the final result and could not be happier with our new home.

We are incredibly grateful to the entire team and would not hesitate to recommend Stroud Homes Coffs Harbour to anyone looking to build their dream home. Thank you for making our vision a reality, we love our new home!

I recently built my dream home with AusDream Built, and after going through the entire journey—from the initial design discussions and planning… Read more

through construction, selections, finishing and handover—I can confidently say that choosing AusDream was one of the best decisions I made for our home.

From the beginning, what impressed me most was their willingness to listen to what I actually wanted rather than simply trying to fit my ideas into a standard project-home design. I had a very particular vision for the house. I wanted something modern, spacious and premium, but at the same time practical for our family and designed around the way we live. There were many custom elements, details and changes along the way, and the AusDream team worked closely with me to turn those ideas into a finished home.

Quality of construction

For me, the most important consideration when choosing a builder was quality. A beautiful design means very little if the construction and workmanship behind it aren't equally good.

Throughout the build, I was impressed by the attention given to the structure, workmanship and finishing. AusDream didn't make me feel that I had to accept something simply because it was "within tolerance" or "good enough". Whenever I raised a question or wanted something looked at, the team was prepared to discuss it and find a practical solution.

The finished home has the solid, premium feel I was looking for. From the overall construction through to the internal finishes, cabinetry, tiling, electrical work, lighting and detailing, there is a noticeable level of care throughout the house.

A genuinely customised home

One of AusDream's biggest strengths is their flexibility.

This wasn't a situation where I selected a standard floor plan, changed a few colours and called it a custom home. I was personally very involved in the design and wanted to incorporate a number of ideas that were important to me and my family.

There were plenty of discussions along the way—some ideas were straightforward, while others required more thought and problem-solving. I appreciated that the team didn't immediately say "no" when something was outside the ordinary. Instead, we would discuss what I was trying to achieve and work through how it could realistically be incorporated.

That collaborative approach made a huge difference. The result feels like our home, rather than simply another house built from a catalogue.

Communication and dealing with issues

Anyone who has built a house knows that a construction project of this size will have challenges and decisions along the way. I don't believe a realistic review should pretend otherwise.

What matters is how the builder responds when something needs attention.

This is an area where I had a positive experience with AusDream. I was a very involved client and probably asked more questions than the average homeowner. When I wasn't satisfied with something, I said so. When I wanted clarification, I asked for it. The team remained approachable and worked with me to resolve matters rather than becoming defensive or disappearing once construction was underway.

That accountability was extremely important to me.

Value for money

When building a premium home, it is easy for costs to escalate quickly. My focus wasn't simply on finding the cheapest builder; I wanted to achieve the right balance between design, construction quality, inclusions and overall value.

Looking at the finished result, I believe AusDream delivered excellent value for the level of home we created.

More importantly, I never felt that the objective was simply to build the house as quickly as possible and move on to the next project. There was genuine pride in delivering a home that both the builder and homeowner could be proud of.

Local builder with a personal approach

Another thing I appreciated was dealing with a builder where the relationship still felt personal.

With a home of this scale, you are trusting a company with a significant investment and something your family may live in for many years. Being able to have real conversations, discuss ideas and speak openly when something needed attention gave me much more confidence throughout the process.

AusDream has also been a long-term supporter of our local community, including supporting the Macarthur Region Nepalese Community and its Teej celebrations for several years. As someone actively involved in our community, I value businesses that don't simply operate locally but also contribute back to the communities that support them.

The final result

The best compliment I can give AusDream is that the finished house reflects the vision I had when we started the journey.

There is a huge difference between looking at drawings and selections on paper and eventually walking through the completed home. Seeing all those individual decisions come together into one finished house was incredibly satisfying.

Friends, family and visitors regularly comment on the design, space and overall finish of the home, and I'm genuinely proud of what we created together.

Building a home is a major financial and emotional commitment, and choosing the right builder is probably the most important decision in that process.

Based on my own experience, I would happily recommend AusDream Built to anyone looking for a builder who can deliver a high-quality, customised home and who is prepared to work collaboratively with the homeowner rather than treating them as just another project number.

Thank you to the entire AusDream Built team for your patience, flexibility and hard work throughout our journey.

We didn't just build a house—we built the home we had imagined for our family.

Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

stress-free.

The whole team are genuine, nice people and so easy to work with. Jane, our new home consultant, was incredible — she understood exactly what we wanted right from the start.

Throughout the build, thanks to Mitch and Tyler, the communication was beyond our expectations and the quality of the finished home is exceptional. There were very few defects, and the after-handover support from Donna has been seamless in addressing them.

I highly recommend Wattle Court to anyone considering a knockdown rebuild.

deeply impressed by the team, especially the quality of the build and the high level of professionalism shown throughout the entire process. It’s been a unique and rewarding journey for us.

As a full-time working couple, we designed this home for a large and busy family, which meant we had many specific requirements. Like many people undertaking a knockdown-rebuild for the first time, we felt a mix of excitement and uncertainty, and looking back, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come. H&H’s process design was the first thing that caught our eye. It is transparent, customer-focused, and fit-for-purpose. From requirements gathering, designing and planning, all the way through to final delivery, we could clearly see how each step and task was tracked, completed on schedule, and delivered to a high standard. The project management and communication app they use (Basecamp) is also a great tool.

Most importantly, however, is the people. H&H should be proud of its wonderful team - we couldn't have achieved each milestone without everyone’s amazing works. There were countless discussions, meetings, documents, estimates, quotations, and design revisions etc. Our Project Manager, Mel, was no doubt super experienced and professional, keeping everything well-organized, planned, and clearly communicated to ensure our project stayed on track through the design, planning, and DA approval phases. The Estimator team and Designer team, always very helpful as well!

And when we faced some unexpected challenges, such as BASIX requirements that impacted our initial design footprint and budget, and an out-of-control issue with Ausgrid that nearly became a show-stopper at a critical stage, Morgan truly shed light on these problems!! The way he analyzed the issues for us and provided solutions and options that minimized both financial and time impacts left us deeply impressed. To be honest, without Morgan, we might have given up at some point! So, a huge thanks to Mel, Morgan and everyone else in the project team!

I’ll admit that by the time construction started, we were a little worried about how long everything would take. However, that’s when H&H really blew us away, and the final handover honestly exceeded our expectations! -- A massive thank you goes to our Site Manager, Nic Pianta, who made what we thought would be the most stressful stage feel surprisingly smooth. Every construction milestone was well-planned and completed, updates were regular, communication was clear, and we never felt left in the dark.

What stood out most was how involved Nic was. He visited the site regularly, was always available when we had questions, and genuinely cared about getting things right, not just getting them done. We had very few concerns during construction because everything was so organized and well-delivered. Like any build, there were a few small hiccups along the way mainly around suppliers, but Nic handled them seamlessly. He was always one step ahead, kept us informed, and resolved issues quickly and professionally before they became a worry for us. That gave us immense confidence throughout the build. The quality of the finished home is also fantastic. Even our private building inspector commented that there were significantly fewer defects than what they usually see, which truly speaks to the high standards Nic and H&H team delivers.

Building a home is a long journey, but looking back now, every step was worth it. We’re so grateful to everyone at H&H, and especially to Nic, for helping turn our ideas into a home our whole family will enjoy for many years to come!

If you’re thinking about building with H&H, we hope our experience gives you confidence. We certainly made the right choice!

beautiful. Throughout the build, our site manager Dan D was outstanding. Communication was clear, timely, and professional, and we always felt informed about the progress of our home.

The only area where our experience could have been improved was after handover. While any issues that arose were eventually addressed, the response times for post-handover maintenance and repairs were quite slow, which was disappointing after such a positive building experience.

Overall, we are very pleased with our new home and would recommend the builder for the quality of the build and the excellent communication during construction.

agent I get to go through many homes and would say I have an eye for detail and have been accused of being to fussy. Felicity will keep you well updated along the way, makes sure you are well organised so there are no hold ups and is always happy to give her professional opinion on colours, tiles, etc. Deano is the most easy going builder to talk too. If you have an idea he will do his best to make it work for you. He is also willing to add in some suggestions that may save you some money or to create the look you want. They have a great bunch of builders with whom you can have a laugh, but they are highly professional on the job. Finally a great build can only come from having great subcontractors and the guys Integrity work with have been amazing. We are so grateful in the end result what you have created for our family. We look forward to having a beer or two with you on the front deck!

and Accomodating to your construction needs. Every person within the company from sales to construction has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. If there is a problem they will go above and beyond to rectify this even after the house is already built. Every now and then you read about people building homes with horror stories. This is definitely not one of those builders, I will continue to use Everyday homes in the future because I know I will get the service, quality and after service unmatched by so many builders out there.

to project manager turnover, the build was completed with no major defects and construction took just over a year from the slab pour. Any updates to selections were promptly communicated. The project manager or general manager responded quickly to my queries during the build and provided solutions to keep the build progressing.

There were a few small issues discovered after moving in, such as chipped paint, some missed gaps in architraves, and a missing door stop, which were fixed within a couple of weeks by the maintenance team who are very responsive.

has become smoother and more enjoyable as the project moves forward.

During construction, a few minor issues arose that had not been identified in the original plans. However, whenever I raised these concerns, Sales Manager George and Director Darryl responded promptly, and ensured the issues were resolved without impacting the construction schedule.

I would also like to express my appreciation to our Site Supervisor, Adam. He is highly knowledgeable, efficient, and detail-oriented. The coordination between different trades has been seamless under his management. During inspections, Adam communicated effectively with our independent inspector, and almost all identified rectification items have since been addressed in a timely and professional manner.

I will continue to share updates as the build progresses.

He was approachable, responsive, and consistently kept us informed at every stage. Thanks to his hard work, attention to detail, and tireless efforts, our dream home has become a reality. We are incredibly grateful for everything Matty has done for us. His dedication, reliability, and exceptional support made all the difference, and we couldn’t have asked for a better supervisor.

responsive throughout the process. Like any construction project, there were a few things that needed follow-up along the way, but they were handled and resolved well.

A special mention to our site supervisor, Bishak, who was a great help throughout the build. He was always approachable and made an effort to resolve our queries quickly. Even with his busy schedule, he would answer our calls or get back to us, which made a big difference and gave us confidence that things were being looked after. Having someone on site who was willing to listen and help resolve issues made the overall building experience much easier.

We are also very happy with the workmanship and overall build quality of the property. The finished house came together really well and matched what we had expected from the plans and selections. There were a few minor items that needed attention during the build, which is normal with any construction project, but these were addressed and rectified.

In terms of the final cost, it was reasonably close to our original estimate and contract. Sandy was very flexible with inclusions and pricing. He also made us aware of the best and long-term, easily maintainable items to be included. There were some variations during the build due to an increase in the depth of the piers, as you would generally expect, but we were kept informed about the additional costs.

Overall, we are very happy with our new home and the experience we had with The Makaan Builders. The communication and support from the team, particularly Sandy & Bishak, made the process much smoother. I would be happy to recommend The Makaan Builders to anyone considering building a new home. My advice would be to stay involved, communicate regularly, and keep track of your selections and variations throughout the build.

From the start, Frank from sales was really helpful, gave some ideas on designing the build. Want to give a shout out to Ann-Marie, Cindy for the admin part of the build. Rebecca and Shaylea from colours department was really helpful, Emilio for going through the contract with us during the contract signing, Lili for us doing the behind the scenes of the build, and can't forget Greg, our site supervisor who managed the entire build.

Even though our planning took a bit longer than expected, it was all worth at the end. All the best for the future, I hope we can build again with Practical Homes.

How was the workmanship and build quality of your property? The workmanship and overall build quality were excellent. We never felt like we had to compromise, even while working within our budget. Being able to choose our own fixtures from their range also helped ensure the final result matched exactly what we were after.

The team was always approachable, responsive, and easy to deal with, which made the whole process stress-free and gave us confidence throughout the build.

How did your final cost compare to your estimated cost? The final cost aligned well with our estimated budget. Ashmont Homes worked closely with us to design and build within our price range, and there were no unexpected surprises, which we really appreciated.
