Best Project Home Builders in New South Wales Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong

Our experience with GJG Inner East has been outstanding from the very beginning, and we would like to sincerely thank Luke Tuckerman, Andrew Timms,… Read more

and Andrew McAuliffe for making our building journey such a positive one.

Luke was extremely professional, patient, and took the time to answer every single question we had. He was a major reason we chose GJG Inner East. His genuine and authentic approach stood out—he never overpromised or undersold anything. Instead, he was transparent throughout the entire process, showed us a variety of completed builds, and gave us the confidence to make an informed decision. His honesty and authenticity built our trust in both him and the GJG Inner East team.

Andrew, our Building Supervisor, has been equally exceptional. He made what can often be a stressful building process feel effortless. His consistent and clear communication, attention to detail, timely guidance and advice, and regular progress updates gave us complete confidence that our home was in the best possible hands. We always felt informed and reassured, knowing Andrew was managing every aspect of the build with professionalism and care. He truly removed the stress from the process, allowing us to enjoy the journey.

A special mention also goes to Andrew Timms, whose leadership and commitment to excellence were evident throughout the project. Under Andrew Timms' leadership, our home was completed in almost half of the original scheduled timeframe without compromising on quality. The workmanship has been commendable, and every commitment made to us was delivered—often ahead of schedule. His focus on efficiency, accountability, and delivering on promises made the entire experience even more impressive.

Thank you, Luke, Andrew Timms, and Andrew, for your professionalism, dedication, and commitment to delivering an exceptional customer experience. We couldn't be happier with our new home and would highly recommend GJG Inner East to anyone looking for a stress-free building experience, completed on time with outstanding quality.

coordinator in addition to the site manager was very helpful and they both exceeded expectations with their professional and reliable communication. Zac, the site manager, in particular was excellent in providing regular updates and facilitating visits throughout each stage. The build was completed in 5-6 months (less landscaping which is being handled by me) and didn't compromise on quality. There were/are some very minor build issues like dents, scuffs etc but most were rectified quickly during the inspection process. The Metricon portal is helpful as well. Though it does seem to contain manuals and information for every possible component/appliance Metricon is associated with rather than those specific to just my house, which makes it a little difficult to navigate but it's good having it all there in digital form. I am very excited now to have moved in and look forward to enjoying my new home. Thanks so much to the QLD Metricon team.

5 Stars to David and Dennis. There is no build without it's problems and yes we had some problems along the way but after having a terrible build… Read more

with another builder in our last build, Wisdom was a much better builder overall.

I will highlight some of the issues but this doesn't mean they deserve less than 5 stars in my opinion. It comes down to what is important to you on your journey.

We engaged Wisdom in March 2024 with our anticipated land registration expected at the end of 2024. Wisdom appeared to not be in any rush for us to start our colour/selections consultations in CQ and we had to push and follow up with this.

Our colour consultation was pleasant but it wasn't until later we found faults and fairly big ones. here are a few examples 1. When choosing our kitchen/laundry finishes, the limits are endless and we don't know what we don't know and in hindsight, they can improve a lot more in this area, specifically, we were only advised of 1 available laundry hamper which was tiny and pointless when we saw it. We did some research and saw there were other options but they were not presented to us. The island bench could have benefit from additional cupboards on the side of the breakfast bar, but this was not provided to us as an option. We were not offered an exhaust fan in the laundry which we had to get retrofit after handover (something that should be available as most people use vented dryers).

2. We extended our Laundry and asked not to have an external exit door but have a window instead. We didn't specify any dimensions and trusted a suitable size would be inserted. Nothing appeared wrong when looking at the plans but during construction, the window was tiny and looks like a servery. We signed off on the plans and we took responsibility for this error.

3. We asked Wisdom to install front external lights. again, we left it to the professionals to choose the height that is appropriate. during construction, they were installed very low (1700 from slab I think). When comparing to other houses, our lights were definitely too low and paid an electrician to put them higher which left me with a bill and repair work still yet to do on the render.

4. We asked for heated towel rails as per display home. We got a different brand and less attractive product. We didnt know the brand used in the display home and took it for granted that the product name listed in the documents was the one from the display home. we signed off on this and had to accept it. Also to do with the heated towel rail, during the electrical conversation, I specifically asked how it works and where will it be controlled etc. We were told there will be a switch just like a light. During constructions, we found at that the towel rail in fact has a display controller. this was not offered to us and again, had to pay an electrician to retro fit it.

5. We changed our kitchen handles from brushed nickel to brushed brassed. We forgot to update the panty handles which now the colours don't match. In turn, we need to replace both pantry doors as the new handles will not cover the existing holes. It would be handy of were were advised of the domino effect and we signed off on the products and took ownership.

CQ was a bit slow to get through as emails had to be followed up many times with 5-day delay in responses on multiple occasions. As a result, we didn't finalise CQ and our land become registered.

CQ overall could improve and help us make the right decisions but there were some oversights from our end when confirms why I'm still giving Wisdom 5 stars.

Pre construction felt backwards. Thinking this would be quick an easy, Wrong! In no particular order, we had to deal with Basix, surprised with the need for a BAL report, surprised with the need for a noise level report and possibly one other thing. One would think this would be organised all at the same time but it wasn't. One was addressed and when that was completed, the other one was addressed. This process alone took what felt like 6 months.

Pre construction also had issues with getting approval from the developer. There was a required to use 3 different materials/colours on the facade. The first plan was rejected and was told, we need something different and Wisdom proposed stacked stone columns. This would have cost anywhere from $10K to $20K to the build cost. It also didn't fit the look we were going for which was Hampton inspired. IT didn't sit well with me and I took it upon myself to contact the developer. I was shocked to be told that all i needed to do was change the colour of the balustrade from Dover White to Miss Universe White. This didn't cost us anything extra. The Pre Construction Manager let us down with this and the delays he caused.

When we finally broke dirt we had Denis as our supervisor. A bit old school but we enjoyed having him as a supervisor until he advised he had too many jobs on and needed to hand our house to another supervisor. Unfortunately, we were given another supervisor for a couple of weeks where we were told he is no longer with Wisdom. As a result from changing to a third supervisor, I believe our house was delayed. We were provided with our third and final supervisor David Luc.

David is a dream supervisor, We walks around with his earpiece and his laptop, I could tell how efficient and effective he was. It was at this point where the communication exceeded our expectations and kept us up to date verbally and via email. If there was an issue, he would talk to us and have it fixed immediately.

Overall Summary The CQ is very slow and could improve with ensuring their customers are informed of what is available with their products, more in depth options for kitchen cabinetry, be aware of any domino effects if things are changed and stay away from making decisions on dimensions such as light height and window sizes. They also need to respond quicker to their emails. waiting 5 days or more isn't ideal.

Pre Construction needs work to improve on efficiency and ensuring any types of approvals or assessments are done at the same time and not one by one.

My supervisors Denis and David Brought us home and this is where the 5 star rating goes to.

We received our keys recently and still have the maintenance period. Let's hope they are as good here. I may do a separate review at that juncture.

He explained every stage of the process with great patience and made sure we understood what was happening along the way. As first time builders, we truly appreciated his friendly and approachable nature. He made the entire building journey feel smooth, stress free and easy to navigate. We are very grateful for his support and would highly recommend Cian to anyone building their home.

The workmanship and overall build quality exceeded our expectations. Any minor issues identified during the process were addressed promptly and professionally. The final handover was smooth, and our new home was presented in excellent condition.

We would like to give a special thank you to everyone involved in our project for their dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering a quality home. Building a house can be stressful, but the Eden Brae team made the journey much easier for us.

We highly recommend Eden Brae Homes to anyone looking for a reliable builder. Thank you for helping us build our dream home!

helpful, and always happy to answer questions. They really listened to what we wanted and made the whole planning and approval process much easier than we expected. The build itself ran smoothly, with great communication throughout. We always knew what was happening, and everything seemed to move along without any major issues. The quality of the construction gave us a lot of confidence, especially the structural work, which was completed to a very high standard. All of the trades involved did a great job. The carpenters, plumbers, electricians, painters, and everyone else who worked on the house clearly took pride in their work, and it shows in the finished result. We absolutely love the look of the house. The combination of materials and the different roof lines make it stand out in the best way. Being positioned on a hill, it has a real presence and gets plenty of compliments from visitors and neighbours alike. Inside, the home feels spacious, practical, and beautifully finished. The layout works really well, and the attention to detail throughout the house is impressive. It's not only a beautiful home but also a comfortable place to live. We're extremely happy with our experience with Stroud Builders and the home they've built for us. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to build, and if we ever decide to build again, we'd happily choose Stroud Builders.

When we started looking for a builder for our first home, we wanted someone we could trust—not just a company to build a house, but a partner who… Read more

would guide us throughout the entire journey. We found exactly that with Better Built. From the very beginning, the team took the time to understand our needs and helped us navigate every stage of the process. They were honest and transparent in their advice, especially when it came to maximising the potential of our block despite the council's restrictions. They also looked for practical ways to reduce our costs, particularly given our block's location on a main road. What impressed us even more was how they genuinely advocated for us. They challenged certain council requirements that they believed should not have been our responsibility, helping us avoid unnecessary costs and stress. Throughout the journey, every Josh we dealt with was professional, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Even after handover, while we were completing the required landscaping and retaining wall works, our project coordinator continued to support us by assisting with both the initial lodgement and the subsequent re-lodgement of the required documents. Although we haven't moved into the house yet, our experience so far has been very positive. Whenever we've encountered any bumps along the way, the Better Built team has been quick to help us find solutions. What makes Better Built our builder of choice isn't just the quality of their workmanship—it's the quality of their people. Their responsiveness, genuine care, and commitment to ensuring we have the best possible experience made all the difference. We always felt that they genuinely wanted us to love our new home, and that level of service is hard to find. Without hesitation, we would choose Better Built again for a future build. The only thing I wish they offered is a more comprehensive package that includes retaining wall requirements, which would make the process even more seamless. Thank you to the entire Better Built team for making our first home-building journey such a positive experience

we’re finally moving into the stage we’ve been waiting for: CONSTRUCTION!

Throughout the entire pre-construction process, a special thank you goes to Stefanie, our Client Relationship Manager. Her communication is consistently clear, timely, and genuinely caring. She reassures you when the process feels overwhelming, celebrates milestones with you, and treats your project as if it were her own. Her attention to detail, especially during our colour selections, gave us confidence at every step.

Stefanie is an absolute credit to Hudson Homes, and her support has played a huge part in getting us to this exciting next stage. We’re looking forward to the next chapter of our home‑building journey with Hudson Homes — so watch this space!

has been a pleasing one from start to finish.

The journey began with the initial sales process, where Michael (sales) was extremely helpful in explaining the building process, providing realistic budgeting guidance, and discussing the possibilities and capabilities available to us. His knowledge and honest approach gave us confidence from the outset.

The pre-construction phase was smooth, well organised, and collaborative, with genuine opportunities to tailor the home to achieve a balanced and practical outcome. Danielle (CLO) was consistently prepared, communicated clearly, and set realistic expectations without overpromising. Erin (Selections) worked closely with our vision and budget to design a home that suited our needs, while always taking the time to provide further guidance whenever it was required.

The construction phase was excellent. Our site supervisor, Aidan, was exactly what we hoped for throughout the build. Nothing was ever too difficult, and his calm, approachable manner provided reassurance and confidence at every stage. His willingness to listen, communicate openly, and work through any questions or concerns made the entire construction process far less stressful.

Overall, when building your home, you want confidence that you'll be guided honestly, supported throughout the journey, and not misled about expectations or what can realistically be achieved. You also want the reassurance that you'll receive a quality home without unexpected surprises. Based on my experience, Montgomery Homes delivered on those expectations, and I would happily recommend them to anyone considering building a new home.

which were rectified immediately. We are so happy and would definitely recommend building with these guys if you were considering it. A final thank you to the site supervisor, Rick, who was definitely made to do his job. His attention to detail and care for his clients/ builds does not go unnoticed. Anyone who we have spoken to has always told us that building was the biggest headache and so stressful, but that could not be further away from the truth in our experience. With Rick’s constant updates and Liz in the office always prepared to answer any questions and providing clarification, we were completely at ease for the entire build process.

The only area where our experience could have been improved was after handover. While any issues that arose were eventually addressed, the response times for post-handover maintenance and repairs were quite slow, which was disappointing after such a positive building experience.

Overall, we are very pleased with our new home and would recommend the builder for the quality of the build and the excellent communication during construction.

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.

Even now, during the build, she continues to check in and offer support, which really shows her dedication and care for us.

Our builder, Mick, has also been outstanding. He is extremely accommodating, flexible, and reliable—nothing ever feels like too much trouble. He approaches everything with a positive attitude and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure things are done right. His communication has been excellent, and we feel confident knowing our home is in such capable hands.

Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience so far. The team has made this journey not only stress-free but genuinely enjoyable, and we’re really looking forward to seeing the final result. We would highly recommend them to anyone considering building their home.
