Our Dream Home
Our sales process started and, what we thought was great, turned out to be quite difficult as when we started the contract process we discovered that a lot of the things that had been discussed and agreed were not included, as well as changes being made that we weren’t aware of. At this point though, a new GM Peter started and shuffled a few things/people around and things got better from there. Peter assigned us to Steph, pre-construction client liaison, and I can honestly say that Steph is an absolute asset to 101. Steph is the reason we didn...
Read more’t walk away from the build and I’m so glad as it just kept getting better from there. We moved on to the construction stage and had Trent as site supervisor and then Tom at the latter stage and nothing was too much for these guys. They were so approachable, if anything went wrong they were straight on it, and they both went over and above our expectations. Sarah, client liaison, again could not have done more for us. Even any small issues after the build (and the team at 101 are complete perfectionists so there wasn’t many) she was straight on it. The level of workmanship and attention to detail on the house has blown us away. I hope I never have to build again because 101 Residential have given us our dream home, but if I did, I’d definitely build with 101 again!MehranPerth, WA

We love our beautiful new home!
We would like to thank the team at 101 residential for a job well done! We are very happy with our beautiful new home and appreciate all the hard work by their team. While it may be too early to say, the quality of the work appears to be really good and this was also observed by our independent building inspector.
Our site supervisor, Tom, has been great, well organized, and on top of things. Our journey with 101 started with a fantastic sales and design experience. Our designer (Sean) was one of a kind and too bad he is no longer with the 101...

Excellent build and service!
Overall we have had a fantastic experience with 101 Residential.
The sales stage was fantastic. Dan was professional and really helpful and helped us achieve the home we wanted through multiple revisions of the plan. To ensure he kept our business, he included plenty of extras in our contract and also fixed the pricing in some areas that had the potential to change.
Contracts and documentation process was a little slow, some of this due to waiting for meetings, and also waiting for approvals with council. Communication throughout this stage...
Read more could be a little better to keep us informed. The build was very fast and the site supervisor Brent was extremely thorough, had great communication and knew exactly what was happening on site. Even though we had a building inspector, Brent had already gone through the house before final inspection and had marked up every little thing that needed correcting / touching up. The build quality is excellent, no issues at all with anything not working, or not being completed to specification, therefore construction and handover was seamless.Review collected in partnership with 101 Residential

We love our amazing home - thanks to the 101 team
We came to 101 Residential after a bad experience and lost deposit with Beaumonde Homes. 101 worked with us from the start to design our dream 500 sqm home.
Design: 101 did an amazing design, which took advantage of the views and the size of our family. We worked with the local team (John Heslop) to design a truly custom home - we absolutely love it inside and out.
Price: Having had prices from other builders, we were really happy with the price from 101... great value.
Pre start: was quick and painless. We found the 101 team really help...

Loved everything about 101 strongly rate them as excellent
Let’s start that by saying that 101 residential is a great builder my rating for them is five star.
Building a house is emotional, a huge decision in finding the right one with so many outfits screaming their deals and their giveaways that it’s difficult for an ordinary punter to find the right one.
So, after viewing many displays one asks why choose 101 Residential?
After walking into 101 John, our first contact, told us that he build, that the sign of a great builder is the one that fixes problems quickly and without fuss if and when they ari...

Great Process Great Build
At every stage, from the initial meeting with the designer, to the final touches finishing the house with our supervisor, we've experienced great relationships with 101 Residential's staff. The designer listened and worked hard to make sure the design was practical and fitted our specification in terms of wants and budget. The pre-start process was collaborative and there was a lot of attention to detail, which made construction so much more straightforward. Communication was regular, any queries and requests were answered promptly and it was h...
Read moreelpful to get the fortnightly schedule updates. The supervisor was extremely professional; he paid very close attention to detail, proactively picking up potential issues and organising corrections/reworks whenever needed - though these were minimal. The one main issue we did have with some cavity doors, he worked and reworked until we had a solution that would last, rather than going for any quick fix. So we are really happy with the build quality and the finishings on the house. Variations were minimal on both sides because of the attention to detail and so the project is pretty much on the initial budget. Would recommend 101 Residential with no qualms.1 comment

A Fantastic Build and Great People
The build was well managed. There were a few hiccups with the accuracy of the drawings and inclusion of variations onto drawings. Checking of the drawings needs to be improved in the future.
All meetings were held on time and personnel were very knowledgeable and helpful.
Two points we would like to provide constructive feedback on are: (a) Premium grade finishes which were part of our package were not up to standard - in this case the carpet choice and we had to pay extra to upgrade to a 'premium' grade. (b) Kitchen design should include a dis...

House with a Difference
We have been in our home for 4 months. After nearly 40 years of living in early 20th century homes, we took a plunge to build our first new home.
We joke that we are building our own nursing home. With an unusual block shape, and tight specification of building footprints, the design also needed to make the most of the block’s great setting. This all presented a real challenge to designer Craig Long of 101 Residential. We wanted 2 master bedrooms - one up and one down, wide doors and corridors in case we ever become wheelchair reliant. We als...
Read moreo wanted a home with some classic design features rather than a modern concrete box. We wish to thank Craig who, with a lot of patience, worked with us to create the design we wanted. He is creative, very insightful, and understood what we were trying to achieve. The pre-start team also helped us get there within the confines of what a project builder can offer. The build commenced at the end of January, and we moved in before Christmas. Client liaison Ruth Fenton provided great support whilst the build was happening. Finally, we wish to thank our wonderful supervisor Mick, who dealt with our issues and concerns, when they arose, with a lot of efficiency. He listened, advised and nurtured us through the build process. He was always there for us.1 comment

Perfect process from start to finish!
I cannot thank the team at 101 enough for all of their hard work, advice, professionalism and high quality standards throughout. They fixed any minor issues and kept us informed throughout the entire build. Key handover was fantastic and we are still enjoying the adrenaline of having a beautiful house!

Excellent Builder where any of big name builder cannot beat
From start of sale, prestart, beginning of construction, during the construction,finish of construction and to handover and after handover this builder cannot fault any single things. I am not building for first time and from my experience 101 have excellent on customer service and excellent on quality of build. especially sale person John, prestart Tanya, customer relationship officer Ruth, and site supervisor Mick are very good. If I will building again will using 101 and also recommend to anyone for this builder.

101 was so easy to work with
101 build the house while we were living in Dubai. From the Sales stage up to Pre Start, we received valuable advice from Kumudu (Sales Contact) and Tanya (Pre Start contact). Our house was built on a custom design and we received valuable advice on managing expectation while meeting council requirements.
During the construction stage Mike and Ruth did a great job. Ruth gave periodic updates on the work and Mike was a such a nice person who look after the construction work very well. Supervisor, Mike and 101 team was so helpful to complete the...

Craig Padfield gave us what we wanted in assisting us with our custom design - he listened, he was creative and he understood our needs.
Allie Whiteaker made it happen with her attention to detail and excellent suggestions at the pre-start stage.
Erin Chittleborough was a great liaison and she handed over the reins to Ruth Fentum who delivered with equal quality.

Mick made the difference
We had a rocky start with 101 seriously underestimating site works and slack with helping us design a practical house. Do not rely on their drafting team to put it together! However when it came to the a actual build, our site manager, Mick Mandaglio, was nothing short of brilliant, being accessible, responsive and highly professional. He was flexible and helpful with getting our externally organised tradies in at the right time. What really saved the day was being able to work things out direct over the mobile rather than going through the of...

Mick takes ownership of 'duty of care' and at one stage supplied additional fixtures to fix design issues which he determined should have been picked up by the office at drafting stage. Without him this review would have been 3 stars. Thanks, Mick, for making the difference and for ensuring a fantastic result!!! It was a pleasure working with you!!1 comment

A dream come true
This is the second house that we have built, and in the 10 intervening years the process has changed considerably - and for the better! 101 helped us to customise our home and create something unique and perfect for our needs as an older couple who are downsizing. A special thanks to Brent our Project Manager who made it all come together with such a satisfying result.

First house we have built so we were going in with little knowledge of the process.

Very happy with design and build!
We started in early 2018 assessing different builders and shortlisted 101, Danmar and Summit. I have previously built with Impressions and Content, and was involved in my parents' builds with Dale Alcock and APG. Craig Long did an awesome design for us although it was a bit more expensive than the others. He was really impressive from the start with knowledge of the R code requirements, having a really functional and good looking design, and being able to work changes with us on the spot (unlike other places where a salesperson talks to you, an...
Read mored a drafter you never meet does the plans). Pre-start was a bit mixed with quite a good process to agree the plans and choices for colours, finishes etc, but being passed through many hands at this point and having a few things slip through the cracks in terms of documentation. 101 were good about it though and honoured everything that was agreed in emails even when it was missed in the contracts. Build itself started in Oct 2018 with supervisor Michael Morley who was awesome with quality of work, communication, suggestions on managing issues, and help contacting tradies for side jobs. Ruth Fentum managed the paperwork in this time and was really on the ball with super prompt and clear communication, so we really appreciated that. We got to lock up in Jul 2019 and handover in Sep 2019 and overall really happy with the final product. Practical completion inspection was super thorough and guided through everything, much more comforting than other builds I've seen. Would happily recommend 101 to anyone building!1 comment

Great build with a great company
The build was of high quality and the company very easy to communicate with.
Our Supervisor 'Mike" ensured progress was constant , well managed and seamless (total build time 5 months and 1 week)
As this was a customized build the company offered various options to accommodate us to ensure the house was well designed for livability and efficiency.
The few minor issues were quickly sorted and the company's response to plan changes were prompt.
We're both very happy with the workmanship and professionalism of the company and found them to be very flexible and innovative.
Thanks guys. Well done

Colin M.asked
I have heard you guys are raising your prices due to the grants. Can you confirm this? I had a meeting with one of your salesmen on Friday who confirmed you were, stay clear of this company!

Hey Colin, I have been looking into doing a new build with this new grant on offer and was sceptical with most builders increasing there prices since the grant announcement. I have learnt that the building industry has been in a slump the last 6 years with tradesman have their wages reduced. With an increase in demand the cost of building increases. As of 11 June 101 Residential have not increased their prices yet but will in the near future as are all the builders. I will looking into designs asap to try and lock in a price that can be decided upon once i have financial confirmation from my broker. Goodluck
The house we are building as gone up over 30 thousand in less than a year.

Hi Helen,
We completely understand your concerns when making such an important decision. We can say 101 have built over 1400 homes since 2011. Initially along that journey and through the building boom, all builders had some quality issues if we are honest with ourselves, 101 were not immune to that and we have since addressed this.
We spent a lot of time developing an upper floor detailing and weatherproof system that in our view leads the market in ensuring a quality, safe, watertight home for your family that is unique to 101.
Please feel free to contact us and we explain what 101 currently do different to other builders so we can give you piece of mind.
Regards the 101 team.
