The Building of No 54 – I wrote a previous review at the beginning of the build but now our home is completed and we are in .My house was built in very good time ( unlike the house next to me) and to a high standard with constant communication from the Alphaline team.

Great service and communication in a difficult market! – Alphaline has been excellent at supporting us in our first home build. From the start, Alphaline has been professional, transparent and easy to communicate with. Having paid an initial deposit with two other builders (one a well known national brand) and then experiencing difficult customer service, hidden costs and / or long lead time to… Read more

answers for our questions (which even then, did not always get answered), it was refreshing to deal with the Alphaline team.

Our build was undertaken in a very difficult market (supply chain constraints and shortage of labour). Working in the real estate industry, I was acutely aware of these challenges, however the Alphaline team did their best given the circumstances. At all times, communication was open and transparent.

The most amazing part of our build journey is that we had a child on the way and had tight timelines at the back end of our build. The Alphaline team all got on the tools to help progress the build as much as possible to help meet our timelines given the market circumstances (largely out of Alphaline's control). They honored their word in an industry where many do not!

We recommend Alphaline and sincerely hope that we can build with them again soon!

Alphaline has made our dream Home, Come TRUE!!!! – We are putting a review after 2 years staying in this beauty of a house. We can definitely say they have done an absolutely a brilliant job. To start, dealing with Ben talking about what we wanted was an absolute breeze. He made us so very comfortable and down to earth. It was our first time building a house so we had no clue what we needed… Read more

technically and aesthetic point of view. So as we progressed with contracts/build & learning new things, they absolutely made it very easy for us to make changes or upgrades as and when needed. Cost wise they were absolutely reasonable. We have 2 small kids so they took very good care of us when we needed any checks on property as we lived on the south side of Brisbane. Our own extra items like ovens,lightings etc they fitted for us during the build. It was just a breeze. Build cost was exactly what we were expecting it to go upto no surprises there. After handover, they made sure all minor defects identified were quickly rectified. 2 years on we have had no issues at all. Build Quality is amazing. Big Thank you to the Parker brothers. We are absolutely thankfull to the whole Alphaline Crew and all contractors involved for making our Dream Come True.!!! Isaiah, April, Beena and Tanson

Perfect from Start to finish !!! – We are almost in the finishing stage of completing our Duplex Single Story house project with Alphaline Homes. From the start of our design process through construction and follow-up, Alphaline Homes demonstrated their professionalism, expertise, customer service, and true passion for their business. Not only did they meet the expectations set,… Read more

but they also went above and beyond to exceed them.

Their true purpose is to ensure their clients are satisfied with quality workmanship. Each staff put in the time, effort, and energy to ensure that they accomplished quality service.

Alphaline Homes has excellent project management, ensuring a successful project. They very clearly outlined expectations for budget and timeline and worked with us to adjust and fine-tune both as needed. Ultimately, our project is nearing the completed stage on budget and on time. The meetings during construction were very organized and efficient, including agendas sent in advance to ensure alignment on open topics/issues. If any questions arise, Alphaline Homes goes above and beyond to ensure they are addressed immediately. Not only are we extremely pleased with the result of our Duplex Project, but we are also excited to have found a reputable, respectable, trustworthy company to partner with again in the future. The team at Alphaline Homes quickly becomes more than a construction partner; they become trusted friends who you know have your best interests at heart. We are grateful for the recommendation we originally received and wholeheartedly pay it forward.

Thank you so much Steve Parker, John Parker, Ben Parker, Sarah Hankins, Mark Pickering for your excellent efforts.

Many thanks, Shredhar RAJU and Ramya Chandrashekar

supporting us from the initial stage when we were going crazy with looking at land and not able to decide which one to choose. Jess was great with the design by visualising how things would look with the colours and furniture arrangement. A shout-out to Sarah for her attention to detail and prompt response to our needs. The team takes pride in their work and the service they provide. The execution is of the highest quality. Just as importantly, Chris and Rob, the site supervisors were very responsive and quality solution orientated. An excellent finished product. Well done to the Team of Alphaline Homes.

Successful and Quick Build – My house at Deebing Heights was just recently completed and handed over after 6 months of building.

Had its ups and downs but overall happy with first home – The things we did like. Fixed price build without any sales tricks. Especially coming into covid we built a custom 2 storey home for a good price compared to every other builder. The process of color selection was great. The virtual walk through made it easy to understand what we were getting without many changes. [Name Removed] and [Name Removed]… Read more

worked hard on the design to get it spot coming up to the build. [Name Removed] and [Name Removed] had great insight into areas to save money and what adds value to your home during the design phase. Simple things like large hot water system, down lights, 3 coats of paint which the other builders sting you later on for were included without even asking.

Overall quality and size of house was great.

Things we didn't like. Communication was quite poor at during the build and at end of build. Build started without us being informed and before our loan was settled which made things extremely stressful. Only knew our build had started when they started asking us for first few payments. Simple errors made by contractors we were told to fix our self by [Name Removed]. [Name Removed] always try to sway things in their favor with mistakes and i ended up having to go above him to get a straight answer. [Name Removed] lied to us with completion date which only left us a few days to move after planning to have a few weeks to move in. This was extremely stressful and we did not have time to do the finishing touches we wanted like epoxy the garage. Had several emails ignored. We understand it was a crazy time for Alphaline with all the builds but a simple response would have save us a lot of frustration regardless of when problems could be repaired.

Great experience – We're very happy with the whole build process and are so glad that we choose to go with Alphaline for our new home. The short build time of just 5 months was amazing. It was reassuring to know that we were dealing directly with the owners of the company and their family members. The quality of the final product is excellent. We had a third party inspector go through the house at handover and they commented on the excellent quality.  Show details

Alphaline Homes helped me restore a dilapidated Queenslander to its former glory – A few years ago I purchased one of the oldest and most derelict houses in Brisbane with dreams of restoring it into a beautiful family home. The house is over 100 years old and for years it had been sitting vacant, housing squatters and all kinds of vermin. But the shell of a magnificent colonial federation home was still there with a widows-walk,… Read more

encircling verandahs and kitchen-house.

I could never imagine the challenges I would experience when I first committed to this project!

For 3 years I struggled with endless council road blocks (due to the home being heritage listed) and then I suffered the misfortune of signing on with a builder who went bust. I was ready to just abandon the whole thing and cut my losses.

After speaking with a friend, I was referred to Alphaline Homes. From day dot, they listened to my plans and took over the project with confidence. They navigated all of the council challenges and site access difficulties. Their design and drafting team worked with me on every single detail and their workmanship was nothing short of excellent.

The end result is truly stunning. My home is now a beautiful sight on the street rather than the old eye sore that it was. I could not be happier with how everything turned out. My neighbours are pleased as well - the restoration is sure to help their property values! I even invited my neighbours over for a party after the house was completed so they could take a tour and see all the restoration work for themselves.

I would recommend Alphaline Homes to anyone who has a major and complicated build project! They are highly experienced and can deal with any challenge you throw at them.

40 QBCC directions to rectify – Alphaline Homes have refused to fix many defects on my home. I have gone through the QBCC process and 40 x directions to rectify have been issued. Alphaline's own consulting engineers informed them in March/April 2020 that they could not issue certification on the installation of 10 x structural posts in the current condition the posts,… Read more

connections, and connected members were in. They misrepresented the advice and sent me a sarcastic reply when I asked for assurances around the structural integrity of 10 x structural posts. This issue at the time of this review has not been resolved...

The QBCC process is a long and convoluted process, I lodged a complaint in March 2020 and the complaint will go well into 2021 before resolved.

Highly recommend! – The decision to knock down and rebuild was one we took a lot of time with and worried if it was going to work - there are so many stories out there about how bad it is to build a new home! We finally went with a medium sized firm that was family owned with their own architect and designer. One of the best decisions I have made in my life. Ben,… Read more

one of the brothers, was our first contact in designing what was to be our home. We took our time here and Alphaline Homes were highly understanding and amazing! They did a design analysis to then come up with our own house plan that we then took the time we needed to make sure it is what we wanted inside and out. I am really glad we took our time here and Alphaline was supportive all the way.

Alphaline had a great team around them to work with us to determine the finishings and the finer details of the house pre build. Once the build started, there was no need for us to revisit the decisions we had made early one.

It was around this time that we started working with John, a second brother, in project managing our the build of our house. The attention to detail and constant review and updates from John were great.

Building started the day after the demolition team left site with slab and two storey frame done within 3 weeks. The timeliness was one feature that was a constant with the build with Alphaline! There was a couple of days of rain when the roof was meant to completed where we had a delay.

Things did not always go to plan, they never do when there is a knock down or rebuild but between Ben and John, we were always consulted, we always discussed what were the options and site visits were easily and quickly arranged. Changes and/or modifications were worked through easily and quickly.

Another key feature of Alphaline is quality. Ensuring that the foundations to all the finishing touches are important to Alphaline. Any defects found where never regarded as an issue to fix. This attitude extended to the contractors that Alphaline used as well.

Then to top it off, Alphaline were able to finish building the house and hand over to us weeks prior to planned completion date. Then after full payments were made, when savings where achieved by Alphaline with some of the products in the house, we even received a rebate back. There have been a few issues arise post the build ie faulty oven etc, Alphaline has continually remained in touch, are extremely responsive to any post build issues and have been a delight to work with!

The price of the build and the additional extras agreed early on were clearly outlined and known up front and didn't deviate except where agreed. There were clear payment schedules everything was clearly managed through BuilderTrend.

The result is we have a house that has actually exceeded my expectations, it light, breezy and still feels like a dream to live in. I keep thinking we have been lucky but then when you find the right builder and both you and your builder do the work upfront, the outcome can be great!
