Best Project Home Builders in Queensland Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns

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.

Took handover of my new Metricon home this past week. The experience throughout construction was very positive and organised. Having a build support… Read more

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.

communication from start to finish has been excellent, keeping us up to date as the build progressed. He was always available to explain any issues we had. All the tradies who attended the site also had high praise and respect for [Name Removed].

Final Product: 7/10 The home itself is beautiful and we're fortunate to live in such a quality space. However, the journey to get here was… Read more

disappointing and fell well short of expectations for the largest purchase of our lives.

Communication & Experience Throughout the build, communication was below our expectations. While one of the team member showed some flexibility, we often felt like intruders on our own land rather than valued clients overseeing our investment. We expected a more collaborative and enjoyable experience, not a burden to be managed.

Handover: A Major Let Down We remained in PCI (post-completion inspections) for over a month. When we finally moved in, the home was far from the immaculate presentation you'd expect from a major new purchase. The cleaning was rough and ready at best, with no sense of celebration for reaching one of life's biggest milestones. Compare this to buying a new car, you'd expect it to be pristine with some excitement. Instead, we inherited known defects and issues that we're still discovering as we settle in.

The Real Issue: Overextension Plantation Homes takes on too many clients without enough reliable trades to support the workload. This stretched capacity directly impacts the quality of communication, site management, and final handover standards. Until trades become reliable, Plantation Homes are fighting a losing battle in my opinion.

Our Advice You absolutely get what you pay for. If your budget means Plantation Homes is your only option, proceed with caution, you will end up with a structurally sound home, but expect the experience and service to be transactional rather than exceptional. Set your expectations accordingly.

Stroud Builders Bundaberg were fantastic to deal with from start to finish. From our very first meeting, Aletha Walters and her team were friendly,… Read more

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.

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.

initially felt very daunting, but Hallmark has made it an incredibly positive experience from start to finish. We’re now just a month away from handover and couldn’t be more excited.

Dylan from the sales team was fantastic. He took the time to clearly explain everything we needed to know, offered helpful tips, and guided us in making the right choices without ever making us feel overwhelmed. His support early on really set the tone for the rest of our journey.

Our site supervisor, Ian, has also been wonderful to work with. We received consistent weekly updates, and he has always been thorough, approachable, and easy to communicate with. It’s clear he genuinely cares about delivering a quality home.

We’ve also been impressed by the workmanship of the trades. On the few occasions we met them, they spoke very highly of Hallmark and shared how much they enjoy working with the company. That pride definitely shows in their attention to detail and the overall finish of our home.

We would highly recommend Hallmark to anyone looking to build. It has truly been an absolute pleasure dealing with the team, and we cannot wait to move into our new home.

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.

-The experience was good with AUSMAR although there initial admin component is quite regimented and uses a US builder software program to facilitate… Read more

communication....good for record keeping but the software is bit 'quirky'. Our sales consultant was excellent and provided sound advice. -The actual build appeared to use quality components and the overall workmanship by their contractors was excellent. Importantly, our Building Supervisor at AUSMAR was also very professional and excellent and he made all the difference getting something resolved when some minor issue occurred. Even after the handover, the same supervisor continued to assist us with small items. -Overall, the home build at AUSMAR was fair value, well designed and constructed well with quality items and finished ahead of the contract deadline. We could see our building supervisor made a difference too !

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

Building two dwellings side by side on an elevated acreage block was never going to be the easiest project, and yes, the build took longer than I had… Read more

originally hoped. But through it all, I can honestly say I have only good things to say about the people I dealt with at Dixon Homes.

A special mention has to go to Leslie Philby, Site Supervisor Extraordinaire. Leslie’s demeanour has been first class from day one. Calm, approachable, easy to talk to, and just an all-round good bloke to deal with. On a build with as many moving parts and site challenges as ours, that kind of steady presence makes a big difference. Nothing ever felt too hard to discuss, and you always got the sense that he genuinely cared about getting the job done properly.

I also want to give a shoutout to the Dixon ladies in the office, who were always professional, polite, and pleasant to deal with. That kind of consistent communication and courtesy never goes unnoticed, especially during a long build.

And a thank you as well to Tim Bartholomaeus for being accommodating with my special requests. I chose to exclude the final fit-out of the kitchens, bathrooms, tiling and a few other finishes so those could be completed after the structural build. Dixon don’t usually do that, so I appreciated the flexibility, especially given this was not your everyday straightforward build.

Considering the slope of the block and the fact that we were building two dwellings at once, there were definitely challenges along the way. From a quality point of view, I got what I asked for. The structural build has come together well, and I’m especially pleased knowing the final product will be a solid metal frame home that should stand the test of time. Once the final fit-out is done, I have no doubt it’s going to look fantastic.

Overall, I’m very happy with where things have landed. Big thanks to Dixon Homes, especially Leslie Philby, the office team, and Tim Bartholomeus, for their professionalism, patience, and willingness to work with me on a more complex build.

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.

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.

Building a home can be stressful, but the team at Ausbuild made it a smooth and enjoyable experience. A special thank you to Devon for always being… Read more

helpful and responding quickly to our questions. If you're considering building, I highly recommend Ausbuild.

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!

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
