Colour selections appointment - Jané was amazing!
The process of doing your colour selections can be very daunting. Knowing we aren't great making decisions, and we like to research to the hilt, we had 3 open studios before heading to our all-day selection's appointment. Thanks to sickness, we had to postpone our selections day by 3 weeks.
We were pretty anxious going into it knowing we had lost of bit of momentum, but as soon as we sat in front of Jané, our minds were put at ease. She provided us with all the information, she gave us constructive advice, and most importantly she very quickly

A lovely experience at MyChoice Studios with Jess
Working with Jess at Brighton Homes MyChoice Studio was an absolute pleasure. Her calm and thorough approach made the daunting task of choosing colours for our home an enjoyable experience.
One of the standout qualities was her exceptional guidance in helping us stay within our budget. Jess provided fantastic alternatives that didn't compromise on quality or aesthetics. Her expertise in finding alternatives without sacrificing style was truly impressive.

Pre-construction experience has been amazing
We are building with Brighton homes and the pre-construction experience has been so easy, with clear and efficient processes. The best part of the experience has been the team, from Chris in sales, to Dominique during the contract and Linda and Kendyl for selections - all so wonderful to work with, professional, patient and incredibly helpful. Thank you to the team, we are excited to commence build!

Absolutely love our new home!!!
We started our journey with Brighton at the end of 2021. We fell in love with their beautiful finishes and amazing open plan concepts. Our experience in studio was awesome and the team worked with us to choose beautiful selections that also worked within our budget. We had some delays with our land registration but Brighton were there every step of the way letting us know they were ready to start works as soon as we were. We broke ground in March 2023 and we cannot thank our incredible site supervisor Kris enough for all his help and support th

Kris was so patient and understanding, always taking our calls, answering our texts and assisting with any queries or requests.

Pre-construction done!!
We just finished our pre-construction items with Brighton. Signed the CT on 13 August 2023, and as of 13 November 2023, we have now completed all our pre-construction requirements and have finally reached the Scheduling phase. Unfortunately, due to the holiday periods, we will miss out on starting this year, but we are assured they will be on-site to commence building early next year.
To get to our CT stage, we were, gratefully, guided by Chris Faranda from the Brighton Rochedale Display. Before we even acquired our land, Chris helped us iden

It was in part, thanks to him that we managed to acquire the amazing patch of dirt we ended up with. He taught us a lot about what to look out for in a land for building. The Open Studios were great, we had the wonderful company of Linda Sheather who assisted us over two separate appointments and helped us land on a colour scheme for our tiles and exteriors well before our official Colour Selection Day. Without these appointments, we would have definitely gone over the whole-day allocation we had for our Colour Selections. For our Colour Selection Day, we were accompanied by the amazing Mariah Chapman who patiently worked with two people who couldn’t make up their minds on most things. She has excellent design intuitions, and is very fast on the uptake, immediately understanding what look we are going for, as we stilted and stumbled along with our limited design vocabulary. She was extremely thorough despite an extremely long and exhausting day. We think there was only one thing that we missed on the day, and unfortunately, it did cause a slight delay when it was eventually picked up, but we can’t blame her for this. Mariah was very good with us! For our Electrical Selections Day, we had Jessica Ainsworth who skilfully assisted us with designing our electrical layout. As complete novices on this front, Jessica’s expertise in all matters of lighting theory, strobing effects, conduits and power phases was invaluable. She helped us pick out the most cost-effective combination of lights, their placements and the practicalities of light switch organisation in less than half a day! It amazes me how quickly we were able to get through this!- Build Stage: Pre-Construction
Excellent guidance
We are very happy with Brighton's methodical approach to building.
The open studios preceding our colors and electrical appointment were great for us to really understand what we needed for our first home. Our interior design consultant was knowledgeable and approachable . They guided us in making the right choices for our home.

Building with Brighton Homes
We have just finished and completed handover of our new home (Promise Design) with Brighton Homes. We have been very happy with the process and the quality of our new home. We have realised through the process that how smoothly the build progresses will be very dependent upon who you end up with as your Site Supervisor and Project Manager. Our Project Manager was Paula Jonson who was amazing! She was always quick to respond and super helpful throughout the whole process. Michael McQuoid was our site supervisor. As soon as Michael took over our

Perfection at Brighton shore line
I cannot praise Tanya from Brighton Homes Shoreline enough for her exceptional assistance in our search for a builder. From the very beginning, she has proven to be consistently helpful, highly professional, and an absolute joy to deal with. As we explored numerous show homes, it became evident that the quality of salespeople varied, but Tanya stood out as the absolute best.

Stellar job Brighton!
Constructing a new residence undoubtedly encompasses a plethora of enduring memories, a majority of which are delightful, though a few can prove vexing. Prior to embarking on this venture, we conducted thorough research and ultimately opted for Brighton, deeming it the most favorable choice. When engaging with sizable corporations, one is often treated as a mere statistic. Nevertheless, it's crucial to bear in mind that these companies concurrently handle a multitude of clients and contractors. The crux of their operation lies in the individual
... Read mores who constitute their frontline, and this is where we observed the primary distinction in our interactions with Brighton. Three individuals distinctly shone throughout our journey. Firstly, our salesperson, Bobby Hetherton, was exceptional in elucidating every detail and facilitating the conclusion of our agreement. The second standout was Alana McKinnon, our project coordinator. Her proactive management ensured that she remained on top of every facet, maintaining constant communication and accommodating the alterations and modifications we introduced. However, the individual who left the most indelible mark on our experience was our Site Manager, Jacob Palmieri. He proved to be an exemplary figure, characterized by unwavering integrity, dedication, and a profound passion for his profession, not to mention his outstanding construction skills. We posed numerous queries and encountered uncertainties, yet Jacob was tenacious in addressing every concern comprehensively. Our proximity to the construction site allowed us to witness his unwavering commitment, whether under the sweltering sun or during inclement weather. Considering the unprecedented challenges faced by the construction industry in recent years, marked by supply shortages and contractor constraints, Jacob consistently instilled a sense of assurance and was unfailingly remarkable. The culmination of our collaboration occurred at the end of construction, post the Pre-Completion Inspection (PCI), when we received the keys. Despite a few remaining minor tasks, Jacob assured us that everything would be rectified within the stipulated two-week timeframe, a promise he duly fulfilled. Having observed the rigors of Jacob's daily responsibilities, balancing contractor coordination and owner expectations, my respect for him has grown immensely. I wholeheartedly award him a five-star rating, and I extend my commendation to Brighton for delivering a stellar job. We are exceedingly content with our new home.- Build Stage: Post-Construction

Paula Jonson does it again!!
We’re thrilled to be building with Brighton Homes again and can’t believe how easy it has been to get through the pre-construction phase with the amazing support of Paula Jonson. Paula has yet again done us proud with prompt communication and attention to detail. Her knowledge of building process and all the legislative hurdles, presented to us in layman’s terms was invaluable and certainly made this pre build part quite effortless. Looking forward now to getting on site - bring it on. Massive thanks Paula - you’re an absolute legend!!

Questions & Answers
The HIA contract that Brighton uses states that 'the late completion damages amount should be a genuine pre-estimate of the costs the parties anticipate an owner will incur in the event the builder does not reach practical completion by the end of the building period. Such costs may include additional interest paid on borrowed funds and additional rent paid for alternative accommodation.' Do you allow your clients to actually do this or do you fix the late completion damages at $50/day despite the client being able to demonstrate that they would incur much higher costs if the build was delivered late as would most people?
Are your homes suitable for relocating? Meaning can they be purchased to lock up stage , but not stumped?
