Finally, a Dale's!We have always wanted to build a DA home ever since walking through their displays and felt that their design and finishing just have that little extra over other builders. And when we saw the Stockho…lm design with much build-in space for storage and the large kitchen plus larder layout, we were sold. A friend who also built with DAH recommended Lauren to us. Lauren is an experienced consultant and she can translate what we have in mind and articulated into detailed concepts and drawings. She was patient with us despite the numerous changes we have had to make. The only hiccup we had was the arrangement for the Telstra pit. Communcications kind of got lost due to the Chrissy shutdown period and client liaison change over. Construction began and we were assigned a client liaison and site supervisor. Our client liaison Melissa was a pleasure to work with. She is always on top of things and is prompt with her reply. Laura, our electrical consultant was knowledgeable and patient and helped us made some sound decisions in terms of lighting. We felt we were really taken care of and DAH trades know what they are doing. No build is perfect but our supervisor Peter made sure they were addressed before the sign-off. Our build was completed one month ahead of schedule. All in all, we were happy with the build. The beginning and the end were good. A bit of hit and miss in the middle. We would recommend DAH to our friends and families. This is our second build and finally, a Dale's.

Nice car let down by a problematic powertrainBought the car brand new from Honda dealer in 2011. After first 1000 Km, car exhibited the infamous engine knocking that still plagues this generation of accord euro. Went back to dealer several times… and was told to suck it up as this is acceptable and within engineering tolerances! They have contacted Honda Australia and the stand was not to fix the engine. Now at 20000 Km, auto transmission starts to make weird noises on start up. This happens intermittently. As usual, dealer just brushed it off by saying they can't hear it. Refinement, looks and overall build quality Problematic engine and auto transmission
