Bellriver Homes

It was a dream for us to own a house in Sydney. While chasing that dream, we had the absolute pleasure of meeting Christina from Bellriver Homes at Austral. Christina assisted us to secure a registered land and a building package with Bellriver Homes. The build process was simplified with the assistance from Kate from Bellriver Homes who understood our requirements and all possible variations were implemented into the build with no significant added cost. Rest of the liaising was with Liz from Bellriver Homes who secured all the documents for t...

Overall we are happy, the build time was frustratingly slow but COVID would have had some affect on that. The quality is good, We have our own carpenter and he has said that Bellriver have used good quality materials. The office staff were mostly good. Very happy with the site supervisor. Costs were reasonable.

I bought a home/land package at Marsden Park during the pandemic. The new house was completed by Bellriver Homes last year, and I am really happy with it.

I must say I'm pretty happy to have chosen Bellriver Homes as the builder for my new house.
Their staff are always friendly, helpful and professional. The building materials and trades they used are well selected and good quality. And they have kept all the promises they made.

My special thanks to Phil Norman and Liz Latham for their excellent helps through the purchasing and building processes.

- PreBuild experience was good
- Constuction process was seamless
- Little delay caused due to staff members leaving. But everything was back on track and sorted in a few weeks time.
- Post handover care was fantastic. The warranty team was very responsive and actioned all flagged items post occupancy.
- Overall a good experience

I started my process in 2020 and the team in the office were great. They were very responsive by email and were able to accommodate me. Even during the pandemic they were great with keeping me informed with any changes and/or updates. The build was a little difficult as I had 3 different site supervisors and it did get a little frustrating along the way.

I got my keys a few weeks ago now and I have found many issues that should have been picked up during the build. I do wish they were fixed before the keys were handed to me. Even though I di...

We bought a home and land package from Bellriver in oranpark. We will high recommend people to the Bellriver.we are very happy with their service.

Christos/Phil/Sharon - From Sales team extraordinary assistance till the tender stage.

Clayton.gage - when we meet him first time in Oranpark display Home given us confidence and trust and keep his word. Where it comes to additional cost to build after contract expires he keep his word with great discount.

Amy tanner- Selction stage guided us well manners and very helpful....

I would give 4.5 stars if I could. This was my first build experience. Bellriver gave a really good fixed price package. I liked how they gave you a budget to choose on extras you wanted instead of having extra packages with stuff you didn't need. I even got a few extras by accident.
It been a year and everything in the house is still solid, any little things were fixed by Bellriver. The only issue was the delayed build, they had stated the build would take around 6 months which ended up being closer to a year. I wish they had been more upfront and been more realistic about the build time. I think if you like there layouts, the inclusions in the packages, and don't want to make any major modifications Bellriver would be a solid choice

My process with Bellriver has been a positive one. The people at the front end of the journey (sales, tender, selections etc) were all really great to deal with and were happy to answer any and all of our queries. The selections process was good fun and I strongly suggest going down this path as it gives you more control on the quality of the finishes of the final product. The building process got off to a slow / rocky start due to a change in site managers, however the manager who was with us for the majority of the build kept us up-to-date w...

Bell River Homes have delivered us our brand new home as expected. The consultation process was easy and accommodating.
Kate was tremendous and good fun. Our site manager Syd was very good and was always on top of challenging issues in challenging circumstances of Covid.
We love our new home and highly recommend Bell River Homes.

Choosing a builder for our dream was always challenging and we decided to go with Bell River Homes. I met some really helpful people. I have so many good things to say as many things went well in my case luckily like delivery time frame was met as expected. The quality of work is noticeable and they use good quality products and make sure no compromise in workmanship and regularly inspect on progress with tradesmen. I have many people to say thank you to, but I choose three-person mainly as they are one who did stress-free my building process. ...

Bellriver had a great onboarding, tender and contract process. The build was of good quality, there were a couple of issues with the frames but they were rectified. The kitchen and bathroom fitouts and tiling were of special note - very well done. They are developing their trades and reach into the southern highlands so it is getting better.

Our experience with Bell River was great over all, very happy with the finished product! GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY.

Couple of site managers left the company during the build gave some complexity, any issues were handled well. Few touch ups like some brick mortar pointing etc, have just been completed

Most of the additional costs were captured before we started so that proved it to be a transparent experience, no hidden costs!

Would recommend the team, they have built a great culture even better now than when we started.

We bought with Bellriver in 2020, started our build in June 2021 and have just moved in. From the very beginning, it was obvious that the team cared about the fact it was our first home and were helpful, responsive and never appeared to get sick of our questions.
I was a bit disappointed with the quality of some of the work in the house, but that says more about the trades who completed the work than Bellriver.

Bellriver Homes - Craig Smith Warranty Manager had initiated Karma Construction services to do their warranty works. They are amazing and so professional Jole and his team are such lovely people and made a stressful time so much easier. They are attentive, polite and gave an excellent quality service and I am very happy with their work. They also guaranteed us that they will come back to sort out the issue if it happens again. Thank you very much Jole, Daniel and Jason.
