Best Home Builders in South Australia Adelaide

We're currently in the mid-construction phase of our new home, and so far our experience has been positive. The build has continued to progress… Read more

steadily, with each stage generally completed as scheduled. Communication from the site supervisors Peter/ Thomas has been clear, and we've been kept informed of key milestones and upcoming works through the administration team.

The workmanship to date appears to be of a good standard, and it's exciting to see the house taking shape. The team has been responsive when we've had questions, and site visits have given us confidence that the project is moving in the right direction.

Be very cautious when paying a shelf deposit with Metricon Tarneit. ​Before paying the deposit for a site in Alamora Estate, I was assured by the… Read more

sales representative that the amount was 100% fully refundable as long as written notice was given within 14 days. ​I provided my cancellation and refund request well within the 14-day window. However, since submitting my confirmation, communication has been very poor. I have received zero updates and no sign of my refund despite following all the required steps. ​Excellent communication prior to taking the deposit, but zero accountability once it came time to return it.

We look forward to continuing the journey with them and couldn’t recommend them highly enough

It's been nearly 4 years since we handed over. And plain an simply, we love our home. I don't normally submit reviews, so this is saying something! Sure there were the odd hiccups, but they did everything asked of them and then some. Very happy. Show details

Finally, we’d like to recognise [Name Removed], our Pre-Site Coordinator, who has been fantastic in managing everything leading up to our site start.

Communication was clear throughout the process, and I was kept informed of key milestones and progress updates. Any questions or concerns were addressed promptly, which helped make the overall experience smooth and stress-free.

The property was delivered in line with my expectations, and any minor issues were handled professionally. Overall, the home feels well-constructed, functional, and designed to meet the needs of my family.

How did your final cost compare to your estimated cost? The final cost was generally consistent with the original estimate provided at the commencement of the project. Any variations were discussed transparently before decisions were made, allowing me to manage my budget effectively. I appreciated the clear communication regarding costs, which helped avoid unexpected financial surprises during the build.

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!!

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.

We appreciate everything they have done during our time building and we would definitely recommend them.

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!

throughout the process, very promptly too. Metro were also open and honest, gave realistic timeframes and went above and beyond in many cases. Our independent building inspector noted that their waterproofing was beyond the Australian Standards which we were pleased about. Structurally everything is sound and our turnkey price was honoured. We will definitely recommend Metro!

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.

with Medallion was smooth, stress-free and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. A special thank you to Craig, our supervisor. He is professional and knowledgeable. We always felt supported and looked after throughout the build. The quality of the finishes and materials was excellent, and we are so happy with our new home. The entire Medallion team made the process easy and enjoyable, and at times it felt more like building with family than working with a builder. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking for a premium home and a smooth building experience.

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.

Thank you, Format Homes, for building us such a wonderful place to live!

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.

Bethany was very helpful, friendly and patient. Gave lots of advice regarding the items we probably would not have considered. Would highly recommend Fox Granny Flats they have made a stressful time easy and relatively stress free. Show details

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.

We have just completed our build with Gallery Living, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received throughout the entire process. Rebecca… Read more

was absolutely outstanding in helping us choose the right plan for our needs. She was incredibly accommodating with all the changes we wanted to make, and her knowledge of design and house placement on the block is second to none. She was always willing to offer advice and make adjustments, even in the later stages, which we truly appreciated. From there, we were looked after by Chelsea in the office. Communication was seamless, with quick responses to all of our enquiries. Once again, we felt fully supported, especially when we needed to make late changes. Our site supervisor, Paul, continued this high standard of service. He was fantastic in overseeing our build from start to finish. His communication was excellent, and he was proactive in identifying and addressing even the smallest issues before we had a chance to raise them. It gave us great confidence knowing everything was being handled so thoroughly. Our slab was poured in January, and we’re moving in on the 3rd of July—an incredible turnaround. We would highly recommend Gallery Living to anyone. They are a professional, dedicated company that truly goes above and beyond for their clients. Thank you for being part of our journey—we absolutely LOVE our home!
