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.

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.

was made incredibly smooth thanks to the team at Fairhaven Homes. From the very beginning, communication was clear and every question I had was answered with patience and professionalism. A special thanks to Faraz Wais, who went above and beyond to support me throughout the process.

I always felt informed and confident in my decisions because of his guidance. I truly appreciate the exceptional service and would highly recommend Fairhaven Homes to anyone embarking on their first home journey.

I will keep this review updated as I proceed with the next phases of the build process.

Last year, when we purchased our land, we weren’t sure which builder to choose as it was our first time building a home. We did a lot of research,… Read more

received many recommendations, and one of the builders that stood out was Henley. Some people told us Henley was more expensive and suggested looking elsewhere, but we followed our instincts and decided to build with Henley.

Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

From day one, the entire process was smooth and well-organised. Every stage—from the initial sales consultation, colour selection appointment, electrical appointment, tender process, pre-construction support, construction updates, pre-handover walkthrough, and final inspection—was handled professionally and efficiently.

What truly made the experience exceptional was the support from the Henley team. Everyone we dealt with was helpful, responsive, and genuinely committed to delivering a great experience.

A special thank you goes to our Site Supervisor, Darcy. He was an absolute star throughout the construction journey. He was always approachable, easy to contact, and willing to answer any questions or concerns we had. His professionalism, communication, and dedication gave us complete confidence throughout the build.

I can honestly say that I would highly recommend Henley to anyone considering building a home. If I ever decide to build a second home in the future, Henley will be my first choice.

Thank you, Henley, for helping turn our dream into reality. We now have a home that we’re proud of—and it’s not just a home, it’s a Henley home.

I have nothing but disappointment and regret for building with King. They haven't started building yet, and for over a year I've been trying to get… Read more

them to communicate with me on anything (looking at floor options, reasons for delays in the build etc.), they are not interested in talking to me, and ignore all emails and phone calls never get returned. They could build me the best home in the world (although reading the reviews, it looks like that won't be happening) but I'd never build with them again, they clearly have a culture of not caring about customers (read other reviews), and customers are left feeling like they are screaming into the void.

Highly recommend SJD Homes! As a first-time home builder, we went into this process feeling pretty nervous but the team at SJD made the entire… Read more

journey incredibly smooth and positive.

From the start, our sales consultant (Maddison Ryan) was amazing. She took the time to listen to our needs and patiently answered our endless questions. She was very knowledgeable and suggested many things to consider during the planning stage which we would have otherwise missed.

Once construction started, we were handed over to a fantastic site supervisor (Kyle Estigarribia) who made us feel at ease. He was very friendly and approachable. His communication was top-tier and we were kept in the loop at every single stage with regular updates and reports. He responded to our private inspection reports in a clear and detailed manner. Special kudos to Kyle for dropping by to inspect and resolve a minor rain gutter overflow issue we noticed after handover.

The quality of the build has been excellent and any queries we had along the way were sorted out in a timely manner. If you are looking to build, especially for the first time, you are in safe hands with SJD!

I am very happy with the building process so far and our site supervisor Burak Arslan. The building work has progressed quickly in a short span of time. Burak has been very diligent in organising the building works and gave us regular updates. 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.

Hayley was good to communicate with. She was very sharp and fast with her response. Andrew was the builder and was able to answer any concerns and ammend any defects that was identified. Show details

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.

Preconstruction: Top Notch We had a fantastic experience with Ashwani and Ridgewater Homes. From our very first visit to signing the contract, the… Read more

entire process was completed in just three weeks. Everything was handled efficiently, with clear communication and no beating around the bush.

The colours appointment was also a great experience. Julia did an excellent job guiding us through the selections. The range of options was well thought out—not overwhelming, but still offering enough variety to make choices that suited our style and preferences.

Overall, the process was smooth, straightforward, and professional. We would highly recommend Ashwani and Ridgewater Homes to anyone looking for a hassle-free building experience.

Awaiting approvals and construction. Would be sharing the experience post construction.

As first-time builders, we were naturally a little nervous about the process, but Hermitage Homes made the experience much easier than we expected.… Read more

The team guided us through each stage, from selecting finishes through to construction and handover, and were always willing to answer our questions.

We appreciated the regular updates and the professionalism shown throughout the build. The finished home has met our expectations and we're very happy with both the layout and overall quality.

I’ve had an excellent experience with my site supervisor, Martin Turpie, throughout my build with Singh Homes. As the project approached completion,… Read more

Martin consistently demonstrated outstanding project management and customer service. He is highly organised, knowledgeable, and proactive — always staying ahead of potential issues and ensuring the build progressed smoothly.

Martin communicates clearly, provides timely updates, and takes genuine ownership of the work on site. Even in the final stages of the build, where attention to detail is critical, he has been thorough, responsive, and committed to delivering a high‑quality result.

I truly appreciate Martin’s professionalism and the effort he has put into managing my project. He has made the entire process far less stressful, and the home is now close to completion thanks to his excellent supervision. I highly recommend Martin for his exceptional dedication and customer‑focused approach.

Excellent Experience from Start to Finish – Highly Recommended We have now officially received the keys to our new home, and looking back on the… Read more

entire journey, choosing Beachwood Homes was one of the best decisions we made.

From the initial consultation through to handover, the whole process was professional, transparent and stress-free. Communication was excellent throughout, and we were kept informed at every stage of the build.

A special thank you to Amber and Jared, who was outstanding throughout the journey. Her responsiveness, regular updates, and willingness to help with even the smallest questions gave us complete confidence throughout the build process.

The quality of workmanship exceeded our expectations. Our independent inspections identified only minor items, which were addressed promptly and professionally. By the time we reached PCI and handover, it was clear that Beachwood takes pride in delivering a quality product.

Building a home can often be stressful, but our experience was smooth and enjoyable. The team delivered on their commitments, maintained excellent communication, and handed over a beautiful home that our family is excited to enjoy for many years to come.

Thank you to everyone at Beachwood Homes who contributed to making our dream home a reality. We would not hesitate to recommend Beachwood Homes to anyone looking for a builder that genuinely cares about quality, customer service, and delivering a great experience.

The selection process, house plans, upgrades and contract stage all went smoothly and initially gave us confidence in the build process. … Read more

Unfortunately, once construction started, we encountered numerous quality and workmanship issues throughout the build. Even with the assistance of an independent building inspector, many concerns continued to arise and required ongoing follow-up.

Partway through the build we changed site supervisors, which did help improve communication and appeared to get things moving more efficiently compared to earlier stages of the build.

The overall build timeline still extended to approximately 75 weeks, which added further stress and frustration to what should have been an exciting experience.

Kingsbridge promotes that they “go the extra mile” and support customers “beyond into aftercare”. Unfortunately, our experience after handover has not reflected those statements.

Our PCI process extended for close to 8 weeks, yet very little appeared to be properly rectified prior to handover.

Since moving in, we have experienced ongoing staircase and landing defects, flooring squeaks, paint defects, plumbing issues and water leaks. One leak, linked to a previously raised box gutter concern, resulted in water damage to upstairs carpet and water entering through a downstairs heater vent during heavy rain, for one example.

The painting quality throughout parts of the home has also been well below expectations for a new build. Multiple painters attended throughout the build, PCI and warranty period, however many of the same issues repeatedly reappeared or remained unresolved despite ongoing touch-ups and rework. In some cases, we eventually stopped pursuing certain items as it became evident they were never going to be rectified to an acceptable standard.

Our $42,000 staircase, which is the showpiece of the house, has been particularly disappointing. The finish and staining quality have been left in a state well below what would reasonably be expected, and we are still actively pursuing this matter. In one instance, one of the upstairs glass panels was barely sitting within the handrail channel, which we considered to be a significant safety concern.

What has been most disappointing has been the lack of communication, accountability and urgency in actually finishing the house and resolving defects that were raised before handover and should never have continued this long. On multiple occasions we were assured items would be fixed, only for communication to then go silent for extended periods despite numerous emails, phone calls, text messages and documented warranty requests.

While some individual trades were professional onsite, the overall quality of workmanship and warranty rectification experience has fallen well below expectations. This is just a brief summary we had put off writing anything negative about Kingsbridge but if you are considering a builder do your research on social media, not paid incentives reviews.

We are now proceeding through the formal dispute resolution process in the hope of finally obtaining a proper and lasting outcome.
