Having built with Clarendon on two previous occasions, we have high expectations for our new build. We have not been disappointed so far. We have… Read more

just completed the Pre-Construction stage of our build. Like any major project there are always challenges along the way however [Name Removed], our Customer Service Consultant, has handled these exceptionally well. Frequent communication particularly on what has been completed, what was next and timeframes for each step, was done very well and much appreciated. The only real delays we experienced were related to the final construction drawings and a supplier change that impacted some of our internal selections. Both these were managed very well by [Name Removed] and in the overall project whilst annoying, they were relatively minor. Clarendon have great house designs and are very accommodating with customer requested changes. Whilst this is very important to us, the most important aspect is delivery of a quality build at a reasonable price. We are confident based on [Name Removed] and the Pre-Construction journey that this will be achieved.

interests at heart to make our first home experience the dream it is meant to be!

Christine is always happy to take a phone call which has helped to ease any concerns we’ve had during the beginning of our housing journey.

I cannot recommend Christine enough to anyone looking to begin their journey with Burbank and I am so thankful to have had such a wonderful sales experience as a result of her professionalism and kindness.

customer orientated where everyone involved genuinely wanted to help us build our dream home. Our site manager Andrew also went above and beyond so often to ensure we were kept informed, timelines met and worked around us to achieve a fantastic outcome.

I have had a great experience working with Danae throughout the entire pre-construction process. From the beginning, Danae has been professional,… Read more

patient and highly responsive. She always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly, kept me informed throughout every stage, and helped coordinate the many variations, finance requirements and documentation involved in my project.

Her communication was always clear and timely, and she was willing to accommodate my preference for email communication, which made the whole process much easier while I was working.

Thanks to Danae’s support and attention to detail, everything progressed smoothly from planning through to the construction phase. I truly appreciate her dedication, professionalism and excellent customer service.

I would highly recommend Danae to anyone building with Rawson Homes. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful process much easier.

We cannot thank the Stroud Homes Wollongong team enough. We found ourselves in a real pickle after being let down by our local council with a… Read more

modular build. What initially turned us off a slab build was exactly that—the slab itself and the impact it would have on the environment. However, Stroud Homes' Facebook marketing caught my attention, and their home designs felt different from everyone else's.

After reaching out, we discovered they could customise their plans to suit our needs. Following our first discussion with Travis—who is so genuine, honest, and completely open—we learned the house could be stepped down to follow the natural slope of our land. Combined with their generous inclusions package, it exceeded our hopes and dreams.

As our trusty council seemed determined to throw every possible curveball in both our and Stroud Homes' direction, it really highlighted a couple of stars on their team.

First, Sandy (Contract Administration). I'm sure she hears this all the time, but I've cried, laughed, and celebrated with her over the phone. She is absolute gold at what she does—efficient, professional, honest, and personable. Those qualities are hard to come by these days.

Then there's Cam. You only meet him a handful of times during your building journey, but every Friday between 1 pm and 3 pm, you find yourself eagerly waiting for his update. Without fail, he lets you know what has been completed, shares photos of the progress, and explains what to expect over the coming week. Those updates became something we genuinely looked forward to.

The contractors Stroud Homes work with were brilliant and reflected the family-like culture the business has created. During our colour, electrical, and selections meetings, the lovely lady helping us (I'm so sorry I can't remember her name!) was an absolute delight and incredibly knowledgeable. She gave us confidence in every decision we made, leaving very little chance of regretting any of our choices.

Our home is so perfectly suited to the area. It is welcoming, warm, and will be a haven for our family for many years to come.

While Stroud Homes may be part of a franchise, the Wollongong team feels like a genuine family. Every person we dealt with supported us, encouraged us, and guided us through what could have been a very stressful journey. For that, we cannot recommend them highly enough.

Thank you for helping us create our home. ❤️

finish. The entire process—from planning and design to construction and final walkthrough—was smooth and well organized. Communication was clear and consistent, and any questions or concerns we had were addressed promptly.

The quality of workmanship really stood out. The materials used were high quality, and attention to detail was evident throughout the home. The project stayed on schedule, and the team was professional, respectful, and easy to work with.

Overall, we’re very happy with our new home and would confidently recommend this builder to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled home builder.

finishing. Before Diana took the supervision of our house, we had last our hope on Achieve Home can complete it. However when Diana took the supervision of construction since mid of March 2024, she was able to complete the house nearly from lockup stage to handover in 3 months. We are so happy with Diana and we wish best wishes for her upcoming projects. I believe Achieve Homes can bring its image back to the community working like Diana. Best wishes for the company.

much trouble and she was always available to take our calls. Colour selection with Tyler was amazing. She was super patient and gave us time to sort out our selections. It was one of the highlights if our build. We did have some delays due to weather and trade shortages but our site supervisor Mitch was very good at relaying any information he had. He always took our calls and kept us up to date. He was also really good at making changes as we went or rectifying any issues that came up during the build. We were extremely happy with Mitch as our supervisor. Finally Donna, such a positive and pleasant person to deal with. She has been looking after our post construction issues, which are few. Very prompt service and nothing is too much trouble. All in all it was a great experience dealing with the Brookvale Sydney North team and the final product is amazing. Very well built and we love our new home!!

Building two dwellings side by side on an elevated acreage block was never going to be the easiest project, and yes, the build took longer than I had… Read more

originally hoped. But through it all, I can honestly say I have only good things to say about the people I dealt with at Dixon Homes.

A special mention has to go to Leslie Philby, Site Supervisor Extraordinaire. Leslie’s demeanour has been first class from day one. Calm, approachable, easy to talk to, and just an all-round good bloke to deal with. On a build with as many moving parts and site challenges as ours, that kind of steady presence makes a big difference. Nothing ever felt too hard to discuss, and you always got the sense that he genuinely cared about getting the job done properly.

I also want to give a shoutout to the Dixon ladies in the office, who were always professional, polite, and pleasant to deal with. That kind of consistent communication and courtesy never goes unnoticed, especially during a long build.

And a thank you as well to Tim Bartholomaeus for being accommodating with my special requests. I chose to exclude the final fit-out of the kitchens, bathrooms, tiling and a few other finishes so those could be completed after the structural build. Dixon don’t usually do that, so I appreciated the flexibility, especially given this was not your everyday straightforward build.

Considering the slope of the block and the fact that we were building two dwellings at once, there were definitely challenges along the way. From a quality point of view, I got what I asked for. The structural build has come together well, and I’m especially pleased knowing the final product will be a solid metal frame home that should stand the test of time. Once the final fit-out is done, I have no doubt it’s going to look fantastic.

Overall, I’m very happy with where things have landed. Big thanks to Dixon Homes, especially Leslie Philby, the office team, and Tim Bartholomeus, for their professionalism, patience, and willingness to work with me on a more complex build.

BetterWay2Build (B2B), Mike, Kyle, and Rachael, are truly the most exceptional people I have met in the Building industry. I recommend them without… Read more

any hesitation to anyone considering building a house in Perth. They will actually do what they say and help you to find a decent and trustworthy builder.

Nearly 5 ago, I thought myself smart enough to chose my own builder for my first home, and ended up with Vasko Spaseski's Inspired Homes. Simply, Spaseski then ruined my life. He cost me over $100,000 in building reports, legal fees, interest and rent, and finally reduced me to living on a floor in my cousin's spare room. He then put Inpsired into administration and left me with a defect riddled half-built property.

Don't be like me. Chose a professional industry specialist to help you at the beginning.

I decided to engage Mike and his team at B2B after Inspired went into liquidation, and then experienced everything unlike Spaseski and Inspired that you could imagine. They were simply a godsend. Professional, efficient, kind and understanding, when all I expected from the building industry was despicable people out to screw me. B2B went above and beyond to help me find a new builder, identify defects missed in my reports, and advise me on my options.

Mike, Kyle and Rachael, thank you.

the market here in Australia. You just dont know who to trust these days. But these guys were genuinely great from the start. They were upfront about everything which I really appreciated. whenever i had a question they got back to me pretty quickly, never felt like i was being left in the dark. The build quality is really good. I dropped by the site a few times during construction and you could just tell the work was being done properly. No cutting corners, materials looked solid and the finishing came out really neat. And they actually finished on time!! I was shocked because everyone I know who built had delays but not us. They stuck to the schedule which honestly took so much stress off. The pricing was fair and transparent, they gave a full breakdown and there was no surprise bill at the end which i was scared about. What they quoted is pretty much what we paid. If you are thinking of building your home just go with them. 100% recommend

I truly appreciate the efforts of Harry and Nav and would highly recommend Conifer Homes to anyone looking to build their home Thank you for such a smooth and positive experience! ⭐️✨

going into administration. We had piled our life savings into the dream of building a new home and were nearly defeated.

We then came across Mellross Homes and our whole experience changed. Mellross Homes were understanding of our low trust levels given our previous experiences, highly professional, clear and concise with information, and supportive through our entire experience even after move-in which has made the whole journey feel rewarding.

We couldn't be happier with our custom-built house by Mellross Homes and would recommend them to anyone in the Young, Yass, and now Canberra area.

phone calls, silly questions and constant colour changes were always met with positivity and a smile. They were always more than happy to go above and beyond to make us happy and we’re so grateful they took us on as clients. This was our 2nd build, but first time with Sensé and I can 100% say that we will definitely be using the Sensé team again in all of our future builds. Every time frame given was always on time or early, nothing was ever a hold up and there was always someone on site! 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!

contract Geocon lawyers amended the lease with the effect of all expenses being now paid by owner. In the process the unit was devalued by about $200,000 and my income halved.

Beware of this company. No ethics. No scruples.

Like a couple of other reviews that have mentioned it here, we dealt with this mob as Pure Homes. They closed and took our $3135 deposit and resurfaced as Haven Pods. Stay away. Show details

repeatedly commented that it is well built, meets the relevant standards, and sets a benchmark they hope other builders will follow.

At the start of the process, the sales representative provided a clear introduction to the company—its values and the building materials used—reinforcing their focus on delivering a long-lasting home. They also quickly helped me identify a home that suited my needs. Throughout the settlement process, the sales representative was friendly and easy to deal with, consistently responsive, and did their best to accommodate my requests—including liaising with their solicitor to meet our requirements where possible.

Customer care has also been excellent: helpful and responsive in resolving any potential issues both before and after settlement. The handover presentation was thorough, covering all aspects of the home before I received the keys, along with a welcoming gift.

Our experience with Kalwanu Constructions – This review has been pending for a long time, but we wanted to make it as informative as possible regarding our experience with Kalwanu… Read more

Constructions.

It’s been a year and a half since we moved into our new home, and now feels like the right moment to share our journey with Kalwanu—from our initial conversations and building planning to construction phases, the handover process, and finally settling in.

When my wife and I decided to own our first property, we were filled with excitement and anticipation, along with many questions about who to build it with and how to proceed. This was just before the Covid lockdown was announced.

We conducted extensive checks on various builders and read numerous customer reviews. We didn’t want a builder with predefined floor plans because we had specific ideas for our floor plan. Thus, we narrowed our search to builders who support custom builds.

Eventually, we shortlisted three builders, including Kalwanu Constructions. The initial interactions with the other two builders were purely business-minded and didn’t align with our expectations. However, our first interaction with Kalwanu was different. They showed immense patience in listening to our requirements and provided practical, fact-based solutions. This first impression played a major role in our decision to engage in deeper discussions with Kalwanu.

We signed the contract with Kalwanu and began the construction of our dream house.

It’s important to note the challenging circumstances during construction: Covid lockdowns, timber shortages, six weeks of continuous rain, and labor constraints. Despite these challenges, they kept us constantly updated on realistic completion dates.

Although we had our share of agreements and disagreements, the team’s willingness to listen to us and respond to our calls daily made a big difference. Unlike some friends and colleagues who struggled to get responses from their construction teams, we felt fortunate that Kalwanu always addressed our concerns promptly.

Our site supervisors were crucial during the entire construction process. Despite my blunt assessments regarding timelines, they always responded politely and took positive action. Over time, we developed a strong and positive relationship.

After overcoming various challenges, our house was completed and handed over to us.

Major callouts: - The entire Kalwanu crew are extremely professional and patient. - Correspondence and responses were timely. - The contractors they hire are highly skilled. - The workmanship is of high standards. - They do not cut corners; instead, they discuss technical issues and provide solutions. - The materials used are of high quality and discussed in detail at each construction phase.

Importantly, Kalwanu continues to support us even after handover. The Site supervisor checks in regularly to ensure everything is fine and promptly addresses any minor issues we have.

Thank you Team Kalwanu, for building us our first dream home.
