Best Home Builders in South Australia Adelaide

From my very first enquiry, David was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and informative. As someone who was completely new to the process of… Read more

building on rural land, I had so many questions and uncertainties, and David took the time to guide me through every step. His advice and support made what felt like an overwhelming process so much easier to understand.

Throughout the entire journey, David and the team were amazingly patient with me. They were always happy to answer my questions, accommodate changes, and provide reassurance whenever I needed it. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble.

I genuinely recommend them to everyone I speak to who is considering building. The level of customer service, knowledge, and care they provide is outstanding. I would absolutely use them again in the future and couldn’t be more thankful for David’s time, patience, and expertise. He made a huge difference to our building experience, and I am incredibly grateful for all of his help.

Quick shout out to Liam McEwen MJH Building consultant who has been looking after us on the purchase of our new Home Build with MJH. Highly… Read more

professional, very patient and trustworthy. Being our first build, he helped us navigate numerous options and considerations and we couldn't be happier. We thoroughly recommend Liam to anyone considering a new build in this area.

We bought a home post construction off a private seller in the new home warranty period with Hotondo Port Macquarie. Our customer service experience… Read more

with Hotondo has been outstanding. We recently found a cracked down pipe and Hotondo promptly fixed it although we are out of the 2 year warranty period. Minor maintenance items have also been fixed previously without delay. Hotondo Port Macquarie's representative Shane has been a delight to deal with and his customer service has been second to none. We really appreciate the care and recommend Hotondo as a highly attentive service provider. Thank you again Shane and Hotondo Port Macquarie.

Our preconstruction manager [Name Removed] was absolutely great, responsive to calls and emails and was informed. This was reassuring, given that we had great difficulties in contacting the prior preconstruction manager Show details

Words can't explain how upsetting my experience with Stroud Homes Coffs Harbour has been. Stroud overlooked where the 2 NBN pits were located on my… Read more

property in a new estate. They have admitted by email that they should have been aware when they received the contour map on 20/8/23. However, they also admit by email that they did not realize this until 27/11/23 - over 3 months later - when it went to Council for DA approval and they rejected it saying "you have the NBN pits under the driveway. We need a letter from NBN to say that is alright".

Stroud have admitted by email that they DID NOT contact NBN.

I was called in the day after they were contacted by Council and I was told by Stroud "NBN have put the pits in the wrong spot". They said I only had 2 options, 1) for me to contact NBN and get the pits moved which Stroud said would take forever or 2) move my house 1.2 meters closer to a 3.6 meter wall and have my driveway cut around the 2 NBN pits.

Had they contacted NBN as requested by Council, they would have been told, as I have now been told, that the pits could have had special lids put on allowing them to be made trafficable, which means that I did NOT have to move my house or have my driveway cut around the pits.

Had I been contacted 3 months prior, when they should have known, I could have had time to change the plans but I was deprived of that opportunity.

They pressured me to make a decision there and then. I trusted them at that point so, very reluctantly, I had to go ahead with option 2.

My house is now 1.5 meters from this 3.6 meter wall (retaining wall plus fence) and this has had a huge affect on the amount of light coming into all that side of my house.

I didn't realize, and wasn't told, that cutting the driveway around the pits meant that I lost 1.5 meters of driveway at the curb, so it is very difficult to back out if another car is parked opposite. They put a bit on the other side to try to make it look better but this can't be used as it's in front of a pole. The driveway now looks an odd shape as it curves in on both sides.

I lodged a complaint with Stroud Homes Corporate but I have never been contacted, even though Corporate was ccd. into various emails between Stroud Homes Coffs Harbour and myself.

We had an excellent building experience with Metricon, thanks to our site supervisor, D. From the very beginning through to completion, his… Read more

organisation, attention to detail, and commitment to quality were outstanding. The way he coordinated trades, managed schedules, and maintained high standards of workmanship throughout the build was truly impressive. D's communication was exceptional at every stage of the process. He kept us well informed, promptly answered all of our questions, and was always approachable, professional, and supportive. His dedication and expertise gave us confidence and peace of mind throughout our build journey. We would also like to sincerely thank A, our Building Support Coordinator. She was fantastic to work with and consistently provided quick, helpful, and professional responses whenever we had questions. Her excellent communication and ongoing support made the entire experience smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. Together, D and A made a wonderful team, and their commitment to customer service exceeded our expectations. We are incredibly grateful for their hard work, professionalism, and support in helping bring our dream home to life.

initial meetings, the team has been professional, friendly and knowledgeable.They have taken the time to express the process clearly, answer our questions and ensure we feel informed and confident moving forward. While we are still in the early stages we are very pleased with the level of support and professionalism we have received and look forward to continuing our journey with them.

The overall quality of build was very good. I have heard a lot of negative reviews but I believe with the money we paid and the product provided to us. They have created a beautiful house and did a fantastic job! Thank you. Show details

service provided by our Customer Experience Consultant all the way through to the detailed handover from our Site Supervisor. They continuously were walking us through each step and advising of what it meant/included and what to expect through to answering any questions or concerns promptly and in a way I would understand. They were very clear and concise in terms of costs and always explained what the costs were for and whether they would change or not. We appreciate everything they have done during our time building and we would definitely recommend them.

I spent months looking for a building group that we could join to make our business better and more appealing to potential clients. Following my very… Read more

first interaction with Glenn Lett, I felt a great deal of confidence in Integrity New Homes and after a follow-up discussion with Glenn, I had no hesitation in joining the group. Glenn made the process so easy to navigate which continued to build my confidence. The Integrity New Homes system, resources and staff are great. Whilst I identify that I have a strong market identification in my own right, I was pleasantly surprised by the increased enquiry levels almost immediately after branding to Integrity New Homes. This was the best decision for our business and our clients. If you want to join a progressive, well managed and professional building group that delivers on their promises than Integrity New Homes should be number one on your contact list.

We recently built our home through a fixed price turn key house and land package, and overall, our experience was a very positive one. From our… Read more

initial meeting with James at the VISTA display homes, we knew we were in good hands. His professionalism, honesty, and genuine care for his clients gave us confidence from day one. As first home buyers, that trust meant everything — and it continued right through from signing the contract to handover. At no point did we feel like just another number or sale.

Our Site Supervisor, Randall Lindsay, has a reputation for being one of the best in the business — and our experience absolutely reflected that. Nothing was ever a problem, and his communication was always honest, clear, and friendly, which we really valued throughout the build.

Our Customer Service Representative, Rebecca, was also fantastic. She was consistently friendly, responsive, and approachable — no question ever felt like a bother, and her support made the process feel far less overwhelming.

We also want to acknowledge that the fixed price turn key package delivered on what was promised — everything was included, right down to the drippers in the garden. That level of transparency and delivery gave us real confidence in the process.

That said, we pride ourselves on honesty and authenticity, so it’s important to share that our experience with the selections process was not as positive.

There was initial miscommunication around selection options, which resulted in pressure to make decisions from pre-selected options via an emailed PDF. This didn’t work for us, and while we were ultimately able to arrange all of the in-person selection appointments with the suppliers within the tight timeframe (without delaying our build), it required us to take time away from work and some very understanding suppliers!

At our final selections appointment, we felt rushed and under pressure to finalise decisions quickly to avoid delays. Items we had previously been told would be discussed during this stage felt like an inconvenience rather than part of the process.

Later in the build, we were advised of a supplier change and again presented with alternative options via email — despite having paid for upgraded selections. We were also told this supplier change had only just occurred, which conflicted with information we had heard much earlier.

Once again, there was time pressure to make decisions. We made the effort to visit the new supplier, however after two unsuccessful visits, we were ultimately advised that our original selections with the initial supplier would be honoured.

Unfortunately, there was no apology, no accountability, and no follow-up when this was escalated to management.

Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we would highly recommend the fixed price turn key package — it truly delivered on its promise.

It’s just unfortunate that what could have been an 11/10 experience was impacted by one part of the process that left us feeling like we were the problem, rather than valued customers.

We now have a beautiful forever home thanks to the team at Wattlecourt. From the outset, the designer worked closely with us to create a home that… Read more

truly reflects our needs and aspirations. We were also inspired by their display home when selecting finishes, which helped us achieve a style that feels both personal and high quality.

The finished build has met all of our expectations and continues to draw compliments from visitors and even passers-by. Throughout the entire process, the Wattlecourt team were consistently professional, and their pride and passion were evident in every detail and every interaction. The team handled everything with confidence and care, making the experience feel smooth and well managed.

We would not hesitate to recommend Wattle Court Sydney North (Brookvale) to anyone looking to build on the Northern Beaches.

My wife and I bought a home which was built by Oakford Homes in 2023. It is a lovely home, and as far as I can see, well built. It has a double… Read more

shower in the ensuite which does not drain properly. Puddles of water remain there 24 hours after a shower. So we have to mop the floor after every shower. We are elderly and it is not something we thought we would have to do with a near new house. I have raised it with Oakford Homes and they sent the tiler out to look at it. The tiler said he had attempted to fix it for the people who had the home built, but what he did did not solve the problem. The tiler confirmed there was a problem but since the slope of the tiles was within regulation Oakford Homes would do nothing about this. The tile on the ensuite floor is no longer available so we will have to find another tile and replace the floor. My reason for this review is to let anyone who is building with Oakford Homes and has a double shower just be aware that this can happen.

I had handover for my home a few weeks ago in one of their developments, and the whole process was much smoother than I expected. Although few bumps… Read more

along the way, the team was helpful, responsive, and easy to deal with. As a first home buyer I had no idea but communication throughout was great.

I absolutely love the kitchen, smart layout, loads of storage! Pretty good for off the plan design.

I also got my finance through Rivergum’s finance partner, Truevest, Grant and his team were really helpful and made the process easy.

All in all, I’m really happy with how it turned out and would definitely recommend Rivergum and Truevest.

I recently built with Rendition Homes with a property at Tonsley handed over this June 2025. The site manager was wonderful ([Name Removed]) as he… Read more

was doing his best getting the property ready, keeping us up to date on the progress, particularly on the last few weeks before hand over. When we found issues during the hand over inspection, he was very helpful to get them resolved immediately. Fast forward 3 months, as part of the 3 months warranty period, I am experiencing difficulty with Rendition Homes in having repair/incorrect items resolved. My experience with their maintenance customer service was poor. Even through I have been proactive in raising my issues, I felt that their customer service was bias to denying a repair request rather helping a customer resolve the issue raised.

Specifically, my issue was regarding an outlet behind the fridge that was installed low being behind the fridge causing the fridge to be placed further out of its spot and showing more in the hallway. I even provided a picture to show the fridge was showing too much from the fridge area. She denied this repair item in her initial reply, saying that "Our installers have installed the outlet at standard height. No further action to be taken as this is completed as required." I challenged this and requested that it be checked and determined if it installed correctly or not as the fridge is sticking out and looks unprofessional. She then replied, she cannot see it in my plans so she wanted to confirm if it was really part of the build. -- How can she say it was installed correctly (in the first reply) if now she is saying she cannot even see it from her end in the plans? But I let it go. I replied to her question - it was part of the build because it was there in the hand over, and I even discussed it with the site manager during hand over. She then came back saying, "Given this information, if it was in the wrong location, the site manager would have relocated the item. Our maintenance team are unable to assist with this unfortunately." Is this for real? We are not expected to find all the faults in that 3 floor property during that hand over inspection - that is why there is this 3 months warranty period so we can still raise items. -- I had to point that out to her as she denied it again.

I requested to speak to someone else to escalate the matter as I do not feel that she was being helpful. She ignored this request and requested another photo, now of the specific outlet. I replied to her saying, 'I described the issue clearly and given a photo of the fridge sticking out. Now she wanted to have a photo of the outlet, when there is already a fridge there. Next you will ask for me to measure the height of the outlet from the floor'. And she did, saying 'a measurement will be helpful as I could pass this onto the electrician to reply that it is at an acceptable height'. -- look at that reply...so biased on not helping. She wanted me to measure but she has made up her mind already that she will have her electrician reply that it was in an acceptable height.

It would have been better if the customer service should have said in the first instance that OK, we will have this checked if installed correctly before we can determine if it needs fixing.

It was only after 10 email exchanges that I had her to finally agree to have the issue checked out by someone who is not an electrician. It was a difficult experience. Such poor customer service. I have no confidence that she will approve the item to be rectified.

All of this is documented in our email correspondence.

I really wish someone can help me get this fixed. Having a standard fridge protruding because of incorrectly installed outlet at the back, is making the fridge is a trip hazard, especially when there are little toddlers.

our house build project from initial design and planning to completion of construction who demonstrated great skill and care in delivering what we believe is a beautiful new house very consistent with Medallion Homes' reputation as a very high quality builder. Our site supervisor Craig Mulqueen was expert and tireless in overseeing the construction phase, very responsive to questions we had, adaptable and a great problem solver always prepared to go the "extra mile" to ensure the delivery of high-quality outcomes compatible with our wishes. Craig and other staff of Medallion Homes took care to communicate and accommodate to our needs as clients living interstate. The final cost of the build was consistent with the fixed price contract and variations agreed during the course of the build.

from start to finish — always professional, approachable, and genuinely helpful. Even when I felt like I might be pestering them with calls or messages, they never made anything feel like a hassle. Their support made the whole process seamless.

As for the home itself — it’s absolutely perfect. The layout and design are spot on, the quality of the finishes is top-notch, and the landscaping is beautiful yet easy to maintain. We’re completely over the moon with our new place and so grateful to the team. Highly recommend AVJennings to anyone considering building or buying a new home. Thank you again!

process could have felt overwhelming, but the team made it a pleasure from start to finish and managed everything really well. From the beginning, communication was clear and the team was supportive throughout the process. Building can be stressful, especially when navigating subdivision and multiple builds for the first time, but the staff were approachable, professional and always willing to answer questions along the way. The quality of the build has been great and we are really happy with how our homes have turned out. The workmanship, finishes and attention to detail have met our expectations, and any minor issues or questions we had during the process were handled promptly. A big thank you to everyone involved for making the experience exciting and smooth. We would definitely recommend Sterling Homes to anyone looking to build a new home.

build. There is no way to speak with site manager and having to always go though a middle person. Have made many errors and even installed wrong air conditioning unit. Which now has made our house look and feel like a second hand house and not our new home. Forever putting us under stress and not following what's in final plan that was put though to our bank. Not wanting to take fult for there mistake and i would not trust there docasign as they have now produced forms that were not signed by us. Making us Forever make contact with them as no communication. Trades leave mess, rubbish and screws everywhere. With us finding lots of alcohol cans left around our house also. I could go on. They say they are finishing build early then the year when so many other builders build quicker and communicate more with home owners. Meeting build standards I glad we had our own inspectors go check out each stage as lots of errors.

What stood out most was their attention to detail and genuine care for delivering quality, not just building a house but building confidence and trust with their clients. The final result exceeded our expectations and we felt supported at every stage of the journey.

We would absolutely recommend Distinctive Homes to anyone looking for a reliable, capable, and customer-focused builder.

felt that the consultant understood what we wanted and was very helpful and knowledgeable, this was evident when we looked at the first draft of floorplans. We were also very fortunate to have had an excellent site supervisor who although lacked some communication skills was extremely experienced and had a good eye for the small details so problems were identified and resolved before they became a major issue. The workmanship and build quality was excellent and the tradesmen on site were very respectful. There were a few minor delays that were due to the building environment at the time but overall we were satisfied with the way the build progressed. Due to the expertise of our consultant the design was finalised before the construction commenced which kept changes to a minimum which in turn kept our costs contained.
