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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

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!

home, the whole process was such a positive experience.

A huge thank you to Ian, our Sales Consultant, who was fantastic from the beginning and helped us get everything started. Gabby, our Client Liaison Officer, was also amazing throughout the entire process. She was always helpful, kept us updated and was so accommodating, even when we threw in a few last-minute extras!

We were also incredibly lucky to have Steve as our Site Supervisor. He was great to deal with, kept everything moving along and made the building process feel easy and stress-free.

We absolutely love our new home and are so grateful to everyone at Ausmar who helped bring it all together.

If we ever build again, we wouldn’t hesitate to choose Ausmar Homes. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to build!

The standard of tradespeople and workmanship was superb and anything that needed adjusting in our contract was dealt with promptly and professionally. We had friends building with a project company at the same time as us and they now have problems and unfinished items. We highly recommend PJ Burns Builders to build your dream home. From start to finish and during Covid times with shortage of materials and tradespeople, we found them to be honest and trustworthy delivering an exceptional quality product on time and at no extra cost. Thanks to Matt for initial consult and Rick and the two Dave's and all their tradespeople for a job well done. ***** Pam and Bill

however was quite the opposite. The build management and supervision was way below my expectations. Service and reaction times was poor. I am not sure if they would but I suggest you do your due diligence by asking for referrals. Workmanship is nothing compared to the builder who did our first home. Needless to say, I should have followed my instinct at the outset. Giving them 3-stars is me being nice.

REPEAT CUSTOMER : Thrilled with my new Custom Built home! Having built with Ownit Homes a 7 times now, I can confidently say they have outdone… Read more

themselves this time around. They are one of the few builders who offer custom built homes and complete design flexibility. I came to Ownit with my own external design and ideas and they transformed it into a home that was better than I could have ever imagined.

The entire process from start to finish was an absolute breeze. From the initial paperwork and design selections right through to construction and handover, the team held my hand every step of the way. Their communication was fantastic, with any issues sorted quickly, which kept me feeling completely comfortable throughout the build.

I was so impressed by Ownit’s integrity—no hiccups, no shortcuts, just pure quality. My new home looks stunning and stands out on the street for all the right reasons. Ownit has exceeded all my expectations. Thank you to the whole team. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for a custom-build and I'll definitely be back to build again!

the workmanship throughout the house is excellent. The trades involved in our build did a great job, and I am proud of the home that was delivered.

Like most builds, there were some challenges along the way. Communication and administration could sometimes be frustrating, and there were times when I felt I needed to chase information or clarification myself, which added unnecessary stress to what is already a significant life event.

That said, any issues that arose were ultimately addressed, and the team remained willing to work through concerns as they came up. Building a home is a complex process, and while the experience wasn't always seamless, the quality of the finished product speaks for itself.

Overall, G&P delivered a home that I genuinely love, and I appreciate the effort that went into bringing my vision to life.

be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, their team exuded professionalism and a dedication to detail that was truly commendable.

Throughout the construction process, it was clear that Roonsleigh Homes paid close attention to every aspect of the project, ensuring that even the smallest details were executed flawlessly. Their commitment to quality craftsmanship was evident in every corner of my new home.

While I understand that issues can arise during any construction project, I was impressed by how Roonsleigh Homes swiftly and efficiently handled any obstacles that came our way. Their ability to address challenges in a timely manner not only kept the project on track but also alleviated any concerns I had along the way.

Overall, my experience with Roonsleigh Homes was nothing short of pleasant, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Roonsleigh Homes to anyone seeking a reputable and reliable builder for their dream home.

incredible family-owned company was the best decision we made! From the very beginning, Davis and Mason were so supportive and reassuring, Mason helping us navigate the mess left behind. Ian, our site manager, was outstanding—he handled everything with professionalism and always kept up with my many calls, which I really appreciated! Huge thanks also to Heather and Roz in the office for their patience and kindness throughout the process. Despite having to pick up the pieces from our previous builder, the whole team turned what felt like a nightmare into a genuinely enjoyable building experience. Their communication, delivery, and attention to detail were everything we hoped for. We’re beyond happy with the outcome and are already planning to use them for our second home. Highly recommend!

Its better than a Show Home – I have just built my family home with Nuvo homes. And would like to extend a huge huge thank you to the team, Starting with Jo Brown. No amount of… Read more

words can explain how amazing she was. She is a design and sales consultant as well as a valuable asset being on the front line for Nuvo Homes. I had a very small block 356 sqm, and there was literally no other builder that was willing to do the work to try and custom fit and design my home on my block. Jo has met with us week after week and answered all our 1 thousand questions. She was always polite, helpful, experienced honest. She always followed up with and email to confirm what we spoke about or agreed upon. Thank you, Jo for going over and above in every aspect. We LOVE our new home. Being a first time designer build home there was sure going to be some hiccups along the way, I had a few run ins with my site supervisor with regards to incorrect items being supplied on site by the supplier, which was cleared up and corrected after confirming with the office and Jo. As for the director Tim Routledge, he is a man of his word, wherever there was doubt or a grey area in the specs or design, he always gave us the benefit of the doubt. If I had to think of some room for improvement for Nuvo Homes, I would suggest that, with regards to owner design builds, Jo the design consultant should work very closely with the site supervisor during the build. I would also advise that you clearly have a good understanding of the cabinetry design terminology, specs and 3d layouts this can be a bit misleading. A huge thank you as well to our electrician Ron, who knows his stuff and gets the job done and has been very accommodating and gave a lot of advice regarding our electrical lay out. All in all we are very happy with the build and the finish product of our new home, and how I know its really good, every visitor that has come to my home cannot firstly believe that such a huge house has fitted on a 356sqm block and secondly they can’t fault a single thing.

Thank you Nuvo homes and I look forward to building my next home with you and will recommend anyone who is thinking about building especially on a tight block or something unique and designer, go pay Jo Brown from Nuvo homes a visit and she will definitely help you realise your dream. It’s Better than a Show Home

We built a custom home with this builder. While the construction timeframe and early communication were reasonable, our overall experience was… Read more

disappointing. During the sales stage, several inclusions were verbally promised but later not honoured after signing the fixed contract, which felt misleading. The biggest issue was the handover. We were called for practical completion when the house was clearly not finished and not habitable (missing oven fixture, incomplete fixtures, and numerous defects). Despite this, we were pressured to make the final payment. There were many workmanship issues, including paint and plaster defects, misaligned architraves, gaps in finishes, damaged items, uneven cabinetry, and a bowed ceiling. We also experienced a subfloor noise issue, which the builder initially refused to take responsibility for. We ultimately had to escalate through QBCC to get defects resolved. Only after this did the builder address the outstanding issues. The process was extremely stressful and time-consuming. We spent the first six months after handover dealing with QBCC, followed by ongoing repairs with multiple trades coming in and out of our home, which was highly inconvenient. There were over 50 defects identified at practical completion. We are only posting a few photos as proof. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this builder

We’re so thrilled with our new house and can’t fault any of it, every finish, fixture and paint job is perfect and we’re beyond stoked!
