Diane was an absolute pleasure to work with. This was actually the second home she has designed for us, and we’ve had such a great experience with… Read more

her both times.

She was always patient and happy to make multiple amendments to the design to make sure all of our needs and specifications were met. What we appreciated most was that she genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for us, rather than just getting the design completed. She listened to what we wanted, offered helpful suggestions and made the whole design process feel easy and enjoyable.

We’re extremely happy with the final design and would definitely recommend Diane to anyone building their new home.

This review is for site supervisor, Dean Vella with Brighton Homes. Dean was awesome from the moment he was nominated as our site supervisor. He is a… Read more

great communicator and organizer of trades and supplies- we couldn't believe how neatly he lined the trades up in the 6-7 month build so that there was barely any days without trades at site! Being a tradie himself he was able to fix up little things and was always open to hearing any feedback we had. He always uploaded pics on friday and was always up for a chat if something needed to be discussed. We consider ourselves really lucky to have been given Dean and think it definitely bolstered our overall experience building with Brighton.

Sharnese was our stylist for our interior colour selections appointment, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. She was… Read more

professional, well presented, and clearly very knowledgeable, taking the time to explain the entire process upfront so we knew exactly what to expect from the day.

Throughout the appointment, Sharnese asked thoughtful, insightful questions that helped us articulate what we were actually after. She patiently answered every question we had, even when we struggled to put our own preferences into words, and guided us towards options that genuinely suited us. She was never pushy, but was clear and direct with her opinions and advice, which was exactly the kind of guidance we needed.

This wasn't our first colour selections appointment, but it was by far the best. Our session ran significantly longer than scheduled, entirely due to our own questions and decision-making, not any inefficiency on her part, yet she never once made us feel like an inconvenience. She went above and beyond throughout the entire day.

Sharnese is one of the most well-presented, knowledgeable, and engaging people we've dealt with, and the experience has genuinely influenced our decision to build exclusively with Plantation Homes going forward. My partner and I agreed she deserves recognition, whether that's a pay rise or Employee of the Year, because anyone working with her would come away as a thoroughly satisfied customer.

We cannot fault her. Ten out of ten, without hesitation.

We can thoroughly recommend Stroud Homes Coffs Harbour. From the initial planning with Tim,preliminary design consultations with Krystal to the great… Read more

work with the project manager James and Builder Yarren, we were happy with the process of building a new home with Stroud. The build time was 5 months and we were happy with their communication , problem solving and attention to detail during the process.

Easily the worst experience of my life. Two official complaints to Fair Trading which were a complete waste of time. House is about 1 year overdue… Read more

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.

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!

I recently built my new home with Hallmark Homes and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, well organised,… Read more

and the quality of the finished home has exceeded my expectations.

A special thank you to Tom, my New Home Consultant, who was knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer my questions. He made the whole process easy from the very beginning, and I never felt pressured.

I also can’t speak highly enough of my Site Supervisor, Steve Hughes. Steve was exceptional throughout the build. His communication was excellent, he kept me informed every step of the way, and his attention to detail and commitment to delivering a quality home really stood out. It gave me great confidence knowing my build was in such capable hands.

Building a home can be stressful, but Hallmark Homes made it a genuinely enjoyable experience. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to build, and I’m grateful to Tom, Steve, and the entire Hallmark Homes team for helping me create my new home. Thank you!

I built my custom design home with Homes by CMA 5 years ago. We have been through Cyclone and Earthquake in North Brisbane, without an issue at all.… Read more

Recently I discovered a water stain in my garage after heavy rains, I emailed CMA and I had the Maintenance Manager Angelo come out to inspect my issue. There was an issue with the timber around upstairs windows, replacement timbers ordered, and maintenance team, Mick and Steve came to site to repair. I couldn’t be happier with the build of my home and the after sales service of Homes by CMA. I highly recommend them. Thank you.

Built with Ausmar in 2023/2024. During the build, we kept receiving untrue updates. As in 'we're doing slab today' and the slab would only be done… Read more

next week. This kept repeating for no reason, they weren't behind or anything. The house was built with several smaller defects and two major ones. Examples: 100mm duct taped onto unit with 125mm outlet, choking the exhaust; missing corners covering cladding; lift of hinges installed upside down; heaps of missing silicone in bathrooms; missing paint; etc. What was the most frustrating was to get them to fix things. It took months and I had to threaten with report to QBCC - then it was done in two days. The major things were however poorly vibrated slab and the slab sticking out (as in the house didn't properly cover the whole slab). We have since sold the house but I recently talked to some people that have a world of trouble currently building with Ausmar (including Ausmar sneakily using cheaper materials) and I thought I should share my experience. Definitely not the transparency and integrity they like to throw around! You're getting cheap builder experience for premium price - not worth it.

Price Position and Presentation – Moved in to our house about 3 weeks ago. It's just perfect. PJ Burns did an exceptional job with our custom built home. Not easy on a small block. … Read more

The standard of tradespeople and workmanship was superb and anything that needed adjusting in our contract was dealt with promptly and professionally. We had friends building with a project company at the same time as us and they now have problems and unfinished items. We highly recommend PJ Burns Builders to build your dream home. From start to finish and during Covid times with shortage of materials and tradespeople, we found them to be honest and trustworthy delivering an exceptional quality product on time and at no extra cost. Thanks to Matt for initial consult and Rick and the two Dave's and all their tradespeople for a job well done. ***** Pam and Bill

great. I would like to Thank supervisor Mike Pinnell for all his hard work and making it happen. Mike always showed up with a very happy smile no matter what. Mike has been very positive and on top of his work and very fine to details. Whatever happens always hold onto Mike Pinnell, he is a very big asset to Dixon homes. This is the 11th house we have built with Dixon homes and have never seen a supervisor so committed to his work.

Thank you Raj Kumar

Horrible experience, lots of Hidden cost, no recommended to anyone( especially first home buyer) – Visual Diversity constant mistakes with our new build and they blamed us for it because we had “upgrades”. We had to argue with them often about… Read more

their mistakes and even send them Proof of upgrade because they refused to admit they made yet another mistake. They lies were constant and they charged us lots of hidden cost.

[Irrelevant Content Removed] They took over 10 months to complete our home, where they committed with us, we would handover home within 4 months after council approval. They also promised our work quality is best. Finally, I do not think their work quality best. because I facing lots of problems with builder.

Now 6 months, they handover me home but still lots of mistake that are not fixed. Even everyone knows earlier march 2022, Qld had flooding and my brand-new home roof leakage, water come into rooms and due to water leakage, was shot circuit and power cut in whole house and fan of rooms not working at all and furniture damage. I notified them and still waiting for their response. Lots of their positive reviews are from them trying to make themselves look better, don’t fall for them!

I am sharing some of photos.

First off, I made a review about them 3 years ago praising the way the pre-construction phase was handled. The actual and post-construction phase… Read more

however was quite the opposite. The build management and supervision was way below my expectations. Service and reaction times was poor. I am not sure if they would but I suggest you do your due diligence by asking for referrals. Workmanship is nothing compared to the builder who did our first home. Needless to say, I should have followed my instinct at the outset. Giving them 3-stars is me being nice.

Customer Service Excellence – Have recently signed a contract for house and land package for investment property in QLD. As we are from NSW we dealt with RPA for sourcing the… Read more

package however Jon Rivera from Urbane was provided as a contact for us as we had a lot of questions around the area, the build, the facade etc. Jon was able to customise the package and even amend the floor plan for the lot. He is always available via email and phone. He follows through with anything requested and gets back to you in a timely manner. We have been very happy with the service thus far. Will provide another review once build is complete however wanted to add this in for anyone who may be shopping around or considering builders.......Try Urbane. Also thanks Jon for the informative information through webinars!!

CJ Homes has a slogan that invites you to "Enjoy the experience." In our case, enjoying that experience required a healthy dose of cynicism and a… Read more

direct line to the building commission. I am sharing our story not to tell you who to pick, but to offer insight into what you might be signing up for.

Communication was the first major hurdle. We were promised updates every fortnight, but the reality was more like a lottery. We received only eight updates over the course of 35 fortnights. It was a frustrating mystery game wondering if anyone had actually been on site or if the project had been forgotten entirely during those long gaps.

The timeline was just as problematic. Our home reached completion more than one hundred days past the date in our contract. Even at the end, we had to fight for the final invoice to be corrected because the builder initially requested the full amount without accounting for the late fees they owed us for the massive delay.

The quality issues were where things truly went sideways. We discovered that indoor-rated zinc screws had been used for our external stormwater system and all external air vents. We also found missing insulation in the walls that was initially denied and then covered up. This was just one of many issues that led to a formal intervention.

We eventually had to get the QBCC involved. This resulted in an official direction to rectify 15 separate items, including structural slab damage from poorly placed anchors and sliding doors that were never sealed correctly. It took a formal inspector and a lot of persistence to get these issues sorted out to a professional standard.

Aside from [Name Removed], who handles post-handover issues and was genuinely great to deal with, not a single other person we dealt with was helpful or nice. It never felt like anyone had our best interests at heart. Every single step was a fight, and while [Name Removed] went above and beyond, we should never have been in a position where we needed his help to begin with.

If you do decide to build with CJ, I'd suggest you do these things:

* Hire a private inspector: Their reports were the only way we documented these defects early, even if they get ignored initially. We use Darbecca.

* Monitor your contract and document everything: Keep track of completion dates and the agreed-upon late fees.

* Involve the QBCC: A formal direction to rectify is a powerful tool when repairs hit a wall.

We are finally settled in now, and quite frankly, we are just glad to be done with them. Getting to the finish line was a stressful learning curve that we are very happy to have in the rearview mirror.

REPEAT CUSTOMER : Thrilled with my new Custom Built home! Having built with Ownit Homes a 7 times now, I can confidently say they have outdone… Read more

themselves this time around. They are one of the few builders who offer custom built homes and complete design flexibility. I came to Ownit with my own external design and ideas and they transformed it into a home that was better than I could have ever imagined.

The entire process from start to finish was an absolute breeze. From the initial paperwork and design selections right through to construction and handover, the team held my hand every step of the way. Their communication was fantastic, with any issues sorted quickly, which kept me feeling completely comfortable throughout the build.

I was so impressed by Ownit’s integrity—no hiccups, no shortcuts, just pure quality. My new home looks stunning and stands out on the street for all the right reasons. Ownit has exceeded all my expectations. Thank you to the whole team. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for a custom-build and I'll definitely be back to build again!

Tracie has been so helpful and straightforward with the things. She has been professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive throughout the… Read more

If I can deter one person from choosing Ausbuild then I will be happy. Here’s a snippet of our horrible experience. * We met salesman [Name Removed]… Read more

in May 2024 and told our home would be completed in 6 months - it took over a year & a half. * Before construction started, we were told by [Name Removed] to have a retaining wall built using a contractor recommended by him. We paid for the wall as requested, only to later discover it was never going to be high enough for the finished property * During site works, Ausbuild cut and filled our block higher than the approved plans. We were the ones who noticed something wasn’t right and raised it with them. After they re-surveyed the site, they confirmed the slab had been built at the wrong height. This affected multiple measurements throughout the build & has resulted in visible issues throughout our home, including uneven flooring and skirting boards. * We also noticed that the proposed driveway gradient would direct stormwater towards our front door. Initially, we were told there wasn’t an issue. Later, Ausbuild agreed it needed changing, so we redesigned the driveway and added a front deck to conceal the drainage. * Despite those changes, the driveway was poured using the original plans. Once again, we were the ones who discovered the mistake. The driveway had to be demolished and rebuilt. We also questioned why the kerb hadn’t been cut out correctly. We were told we had signed paperwork requesting it be left that way. When asked for a copy of this signed document, Ausbuild couldn’t provide one. As a result, our property is the only one in the estate with this issue, despite it not complying with council requirements. * We then dealt with Andrea and Nathan, in an attempt to resolve the situation. Rather than taking responsibility, they blamed us despite having email correspondence documenting what had occurred. Nathan should stick to the office and not deal with clients in my opinion. * Eventually, Ausbuild agreed to build a second retaining wall. While we appreciated this, it still wasn’t built to the required standard, changed the whole appearance of our yard and by that stage we felt we had little choice but to accept it. * I contacted our client liaison Al the day before PC to confirm everything would be finished. I was told “well it’s not our first rodeo, why wouldn’t we be” However, when we arrived the next day, the front deck still hadn’t been built and trades were rushing to complete outstanding work while our inspection was supposed to be taking place. The front of the house and garage were blocked, preventing our inspector from carrying out a proper assessment, despite us having paid for his services. * Before & after moving in we brought up multiple times we noticed our front door didn’t look right, there was a black stain. They told us “that’s the grain of the wood”. The clear mould continued to grow and they finally admitted the door hadn’t been sealed correctly and needed to be ripped out. Well what an ordeal that was, they sent 1 man in his 70’s to rip a huge door out and replace it. The damage he left behind was horrific. They spent months fixing it and it still looks horrible. * Finally, during the major hailstorm in 2025, every home in our street either required or is currently receiving a roof replacement due to hail damage. At the time of the storm, our home was still covered under Ausbuild’s insurance. Despite this, Ausbuild has refused to accept responsibility, has been unable to provide us with the roof inspection report they claim was completed, and has declined to replace the roof.

Honestly this isn’t even half of it. I am nothing short of disgusted by this company. The amount of stress you guys have caused myself and my husband is unmeasurable. The amount of sleepless nights we have had is unhealthy. You should all be so ashamed of yourselves. No one puts pride into their work, no one gives a crap about your home once they have your money.

EDIT - they asked us to contact them to review issues, we did and they still claim they’re right in everything
