From the very beginning, the team was fantastic with communication and kept us updated throughout the whole process. Everyone was approachable, helpful, and always willing to answer any questions we had along the way.

We especially want to thank Jesse, the sales consultant, for his patience and support throughout the design stage. We changed our minds quite a few times and had a long list of things we wanted included, but Jesse was incredibly understanding and worked hard to help us create a design that suited our family while still staying within our budget. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and his guidance made the whole process so much less stressful.

Another highlight for us was the colour consultation process. The team made choosing colours and finishes so much easier and helped us create a home that feels modern, practical, and perfectly suited to our family.

We absolutely love the finished design and are so happy with how our home turned out. Thank you to the whole Stroud Homes Fraser Coast team for helping bring our vision to life, we would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to build their dream home!

Integrity Homes what an absolute Joke even one star is 1 too many . I have quite the story about my experience with Integrity Homes Byron Bay, buckle… Read more

in, and read carefully.

Firstly, i am disclosing that there is now a new owner in Byron Bay due to the previous builder going bankrupt, not paying local trades, non-completion of works and defective works. Not to mention the lies that were we were given throughout the process that has ended up in a 1 year battle with NCAT .

At no stage will you be supported by Integrity Homes as an entity, this is the first reason to steer clear of Integrity Homes. When you try to find resolutions from the company you will be met with comments like " we are franchises and we can't assist other franchises". There is no recourse to contact a central person, that is your trigger point to look at other builders and companies.

Defective works The Builder at the time from Integrity used his surveyor to complete the set out for the slab, in this process the surveyor changed the site benchmark AHD benchmark levels from the stamped council plans. Within that process the builder did not change the finished floor level to match the site benchmark change, leaving us with a house that was 200mm below the stamped plans (verified by an independent surveyor). We took that matter to the NSW building commission and the surveyor to the Board of Spatial and Surveying Information (BOSSI) to get an investigation into the matter. The Building Commission basically will not be able to help you they are pretty much useless. BOSSI found that the builder's surveyor did advise the builder of the site benchmark change however, the builder did not do anything about the finished floor levels to adjust them. This left us with a bill to rectify of approximately 34k to fix the lowered finished floor as the home did not comply with National Construction Code. Integrity Homes did not at any stage acknowledge their mistake but instead took and approach to cut us off and shut us down.

When we tried to challenge the builder, Integrity Homes, Surveyors and Certifiers they were all no help. Not at any point did anyone take any responsibility, even when i tried to negotiate with the builder and the Director of the franchises in Coffs Harbour. This director blocked my calls and played dumb at all points of contact via email. One of the most disturbing experiences to have, when dealing with someone in a position of director of the franchises, thinking he would able to do something or even acknowledging a mistake had been made. Nothing at all from this man. I would strongly warn you against this franchise also in Coffs. This man came across as arrogant, untruthful, and a salesman nothing more, no empathy what so ever.

Integrity lies Since that point the builder ceased all works but strung us along for about 9 months, he tried to manipulate his way out of the contract, stringing us along saying each month he was waiting for further finance. We later learned that multiple local trades were not paid amounting to almost 100k in completed works on our site. Those trades tried much the same to negotiate with Integrity Homes and the Director in Coffs Harbour and were met with a wall of lies to the point of nil response. (we understand those trades have still not been paid to date) Not to mention that when engaged a new builder and the actual cost of completion was about 100k more than what we owed Integrity Homes.

If Integrity Homes would have even tried to put something forward as a solution/compensation we would not be writing this review. Steer clear of this company at all costs where ever you are. Whilst it is no ideal to have to write such a review i believe its necessary to save others from being ripped off and unsupported when building your new home. There are many great companies out there that have Integrity, stay away from.Integrity Homes.

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.

We have been very impressed with Fox’s management of our build at this early stage. The team is very responsive and has managed our additional requests quickly with accurate and targeted information. Show details

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

Tracie was extremely professional with everything toward our build journey. She always made sure we had everything we needed as fast as possible to reduce delays. Really happy thank you!!! Show details

Workmanship and build quality have been outstanding. I was fortunate to have the home independently inspected before settlement, and the inspector… Read more

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.

has exceeded every expectation we had going in.

From the outset, the team brought clarity, structure, and confidence to what is often a stressful and unpredictable process. The collaboration between builder, architect, and consultants was seamless — there was never a disconnect between design intent and execution. The team genuinely understood the level of detailing required for a home of this calibre and delivered it with precision.

Their professionalism on site was equally impressive. The build was tightly managed, timelines were respected, and trades were well organised and clearly held to a high standard. Communication was consistent and transparent throughout, which gave us a huge amount of trust in the process.

The finish quality across the home is exceptional — from the joinery to the stonework to the architectural lighting, every element has been completed with care and intention.

VHAUS delivered not just a house, but a home that reflects the design vision we started with — and one that we’re proud to live in every day. Would recommend them without hesitation to anyone seeking a genuine, detail-focused builder.

These are just some examples of many more problems we had.

They did not bother even to responded. Be careful buying the building lot from Peet developers as they do not provide what you are paying for. They do not give you the option to exclude fencing and landscaping form the contract, but they do not deliver.
