throughout the entire process and always offered any advice and were available to answer all the questions I had along the way. The way they structure the process of the build made it really easy for me to know what was going on with the weekly emails and calls from my supervisor.

Building a new home is one of the biggest milestones in life, and choosing the right builder and having the right site supervisor can make all the… Read more

difference. We are incredibly happy and grateful to McDonald Jones Homes (MJH) for making our entire home-building journey such a smooth, positive and memorable experience.

We signed our contract in September 2025 and received the keys to our beautiful new home in October 2026. From the beginning through to handover, the entire process was well managed, and we couldn't be happier with the experience.

The biggest highlight of our journey was undoubtedly our exceptional Site Supervisor, Zaid Loraichi.

It is rare to come across someone who combines professionalism, genuine care, honesty, integrity and dedication to their work as naturally as Zaid does.

From the moment he took responsibility for our build, Zaid gave us complete confidence that our home was in the best possible hands. He was always approachable, friendly, considerate, patient and, above all, genuinely committed to delivering a quality home.

What truly set Zaid apart was his outstanding communication. Almost every week, without us having to chase him, he kept us informed of the construction progress through messages, photographs and regular updates. This transparency meant so much to us, especially during a process where homeowners can often feel anxious or uncertain about what is happening on-site.

Zaid was proactive, responsive and always willing to answer our questions. He never made us feel that our concerns were too small or unimportant. He listened, explained things clearly and made sure we felt comfortable and informed throughout the journey.

His commitment to quality was equally impressive. He paid attention to the details, maintained high standards and made sure the work was completed properly, without compromising on quality. He took genuine ownership of the project and treated our home with the care and responsibility we would expect from someone building their own.

Another remarkable aspect was his ability to keep the project on schedule. Despite the complexities that can come with building a new home, Zaid ensured that construction progressed efficiently and that our home was delivered on time, without unnecessary delays.

What we appreciated most, however, was not just his technical knowledge or project management skills, but the kind of person he is. Zaid is genuinely honest, trustworthy, respectful and thoughtful. His sincerity and dedication were evident in every interaction. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel reassuring and enjoyable.

We genuinely feel blessed and fortunate to have had Zaid as our Site Supervisor. He is an incredible asset to McDonald Jones Homes, and anyone fortunate enough to have him supervising their build is in exceptionally good hands.

We would also like to sincerely thank the broader MJH team for making the process seamless, well coordinated and enjoyable, from signing the contract through to receiving our keys.

A beautiful home is the end result, but the people who help you get there are what make the journey truly special. For us, Zaid made that difference.

Thank you, Zaid, for your hard work, patience, integrity, dedication and genuine care. We will always remember and appreciate the role you played in bringing our dream home to life.

We wholeheartedly recommend McDonald Jones Homes, and we cannot speak highly enough of Zaid Loraichi. He truly deserves recognition for the exceptional work he does and the positive difference he makes to his customers.

Thank you, Zaid and MJH, for making our dream home a reality!

Adrian went above and beyond to make sure we were happy customers, and we couldn't be more impressed with the finished build.

Thank you, Adrian, for making what can be a stressful process such a positive and enjoyable experience. We absolutely love our new home! ❤️

He is a huge asset to Firstyle Homes and a big part of why our experience so far has been such a positive one.

We have been fortunate enough after going through the process with a few different builders to stumble across a mojo home which we liked but needed some tweaks.

This is where the amazing help from Callan and Taylor at the Thornton display village has to the rescue. Their knowledge of the products the cost of items and the brilliant ideas / suggestions they have assisted in have taken the house to a new level but the stress of the whole process less.

I would highly recommend Kristelle and Dane to anyone considering building a 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 ceiling. Wattle Court followed up and organised all of the trades to coordinate with our availability and ensure that not only the leak was fixed but the paint and flooring damage was rectified. Having invested so much with a builder, we couldn't be happier with the service.

We had an excellent experience with Hall & Hart throughout the construction of our home. The three things that stood out most to us were the quality… Read more

of the build, the speed of construction and the communication from our Build Manager Darren McDonald.

We engaged an independent building inspector during the construction process and again towards completion. Their feedback on the craftsmanship (especially the carpentry + brickwork) and the timeliness of the build was very positive. The quality of the finished product has certainly lived up to our expectations.

Like any construction project, there were some minor issues identified during the independent inspections. What impressed us was how collaborative and willing the Hall & Hart team was to work through them and get them resolved. We never felt any were simply dismissed or became unnecessarily difficult to deal with.

Our Build Manager was excellent throughout the process. Communication was clear, responsive and proactive, and we were always kept informed about the progress of the build.

Overall, the construction process was a very positive experience. We’re extremely happy with the quality of our home and would happily recommend Hall & Hart to others considering a custom build.

This is the second home I have built with Tullipan Homes, and as with the first, I am very happy with the experience. I have a quirky block and… Read more

Tullipan Homes was the only company who was able to come up with a solution. The process was smooth and completed on time, the whole team is very professional & courteous, and communication was consistent throughout the build. The 'care factor' is 100%. I love my new home and the fact that this my second build with them, highly recommend Tullipan Homes to anyone looking to build. DA approval number (DA/1106/2024)

As a single person who had never built a home before, this was a huge undertaking for me — but Karen made the entire process so much easier than I… Read more

ever expected.

From start to finish, Karen was professional, efficient, friendly and supportive. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her. She consistently went above and beyond my expectations, always taking the time to clarify any questions I had, no matter how small, and never made me feel rushed or like a burden.

Building a home on your own can feel overwhelming, but Karen's patience, communication and genuine care made all the difference. She represented Kaplan with the utmost professionalism throughout.

I would highly recommend Kaplan as a builder — not only for the quality and value of the work itself, but because of staff like Karen, who truly go above and beyond for their clients. Thank you, Karen, for making this journey such a positive one.

5 out of 5 stars for Karen — an outstanding project manager.

This is our second time building with Fowler Homes and the experience has been equally amazing. Our journey this time started with Les, who was the… Read more

Sales Manager at the time. He actually hand drew every corner of the house as I requested. We fell in love with the final floorplan just like last time.

The next people who have been amazing are our CRS Sarah Camp and design consultant Anastasia. Sarah has been extremely patient and always on top of everything. Every time we faced an issue, she came back with options and solutions in very reasonable timeframe.

Anastasia has also been very thorough with great attention to detail and patient. We had a large number of customisations and selections, and she carefully matched everything. Several times she picked up discrepancies in our selections and suggested better matches that we would never have noticed ourselves.

Another favourite of ours is Keisha from Brindabella Kitchens. Just like last time, she designed our kitchen and a lot of other elements beautifully. She seems to understand exactly what we are trying to achieve without us having to explain too much and always finds a way to make the design work. She is a charming person and if we find any reason to communicate with her, it makes our day delightful!

Our design and selection process was quite lenghty but this was mostly due to the complexity of our site, numerous customisations and changes we have made which had to go through estimation at every stage. Despite the time it took, we really enjoyed the whole design and selection process.

Another reason we returned to Fowler was our previous Site Supervisor Scott, hoping we might get him again. We recently found out that Scott has received a very well deserved promotion and is no longer managing sites.

After such a positive experience with Fowler so far, we are hoping to come back here at the end of the build and say that Fowler delivered another dream home for us!

Easily the worst experience of my life. Two official complaints to Fair Trading which were a complete waste of time. House is about 1 year overdue… Read more

and has been riddled with an endless stream of errors and non compliant building techniques.

I paid for supervision but the amount of problems demonstrate little to any supervision on this site. Except for the roof nearly everything is this house has been done twice.

They used filthy muddy bricks which had been submerged in flood waters in Taree in 2025, laid without washing, despite the contract specifying “ all building materials must be new”. The mortar encased the mud and is now bleeding out mud stains.

The kitchen installed wrong and replaced, despite paying extra and it being on the plan, cupboards , bench top all wrong dimensions. All three bathrooms will need to be redone, I specified continually I needed all shower openings to be a minimum or 900mm wide. Nup. I have 700mm, 800mm and 500mm

Plans specified wall hung vanities. They weren’t.

The internal stairs, I specifically wanted a minimum width of 1m. I asked the owner of Matto Luke Pty Ltd on the day I signed the contract, “ Are you sure these stairs are 1 m wide?” He got quite cranky with me and grabbed the plans, shoving them in my face and saying “ the landing is 2 m wide, of course your stairs are a metre wide”. Except they weren’t. Try about 89 cm wide after they installed widest handrail possible. Stairs were also ripped out and done twice, to no avail.

Every single door, including cupboards in bedroom was hung damaged, painted, removed and rehung.

Carpet was then laid MONTHS too early, not covered up for 5 days and then only covered with loose black plastic, allowing a huge amount of grit, sawdust, plaster dust etc be ground into the pile. The foreman, said he would get the carpets shampooed, and “ what was my problem?” The carpets are ruined and not a sorry word in sight. When I said to the owner of Matto Luke Pty Ltd in March 2026 that I did not accept shampooed carpets full of grit and smelling musty his response……” I’ll see you in court”.

No batts were installed in the floor cavity, despite me telling them it had to be done. I was ignored. They had to rip down the entire garage ceiling, which had been painted, corniced etc to put the batts in. Ha ha ha. I did enjoy watching that being done at their expense.

I paid Matto Luke Pty Ltd to construct a retaining wall because I thought they would do it properly. No, silly me. Wall was not back filled, causing the neighbours garden to subside. My partner and I worked all Xmas to back fill this wall with no acknowledgement from Matto Luke Pty Ltd.

The entire build has been a stuffup from day one. I have never encountered such unprofessional and amateur conduct along with no moral compass. The lies have never stopped, with fabrications and variations of lies piled one atop each other. I have 3 lever arch files documenting this sorry saga.

This build has ruined my life, destroyed my health and caused no end of grief. I have scrimped and saved for 40 years to build what I had thought would be a nice house. I regret every day of my life ever signing up with Adenbrook Homes Port Macquarie.

The main company of Adenbrook Homes in Sydney have not offered any support or rectification, not even the filthy carpets.
