Real Homes Real People – We have just had hand over of our 2nd Cavalier Home. We're extremely happy with the quality of the finished product. The build was timely, well supervised and communication was very good. Great experience from beginning to end. We highly recommend Cavalier Homes Albury-Wodonga, in fact we wouldn't build with anyone else. Show details · 1
Very please – Very pleased with my new cavalier home. after nearly 2 years of waiting for the land to be completed by the developer. Cavalier engaged with me throughout the whole process and was quick to act on any post contract variations. Once construction was ready to commence it took 20 weeks to go from site cut to hand over.

It’s everything I wanted and more… – The build went like clockwork. Issues that came up we’re dealt extremely professional by the Cavailer Team. Cost was on budget but I did get extra concreting and landscaping done. Show details · 1

It’s what we’ve always wanted! – Considering the circumstances (COVID pandemic and supply shortages), our build was managed extremely well. Our site supervisor and the Construction Administrator kept us well informed about timeframes, delays, and any other pertinent issues throughout the process. The workmanship is outstanding! All trades have completed their components to a… Read more · 1
very high standard. The only issues we had throughout our build were delays due to supply shortages and trade availability - both of which were outside the control of Cavalier Homes. Cavalier communicated these delays in a timely manner and with as much information as they could, whilst continuously trying to problem solve around them to keep the job moving along. They were flexible in their building process, without compromising the quality of the work done. We are extremely happy with the work and service provided by Cavalier Homes Albury/Wodonga, highly recommend them to others and would build with them again in future without a doubt.
OFF THE CHARTS – Cavalier Homes Albury-Wodonga constructed our modern non-traditional home. We had quite a few components that were complex in building terms. Dale was able to work out strategies on how to build these components. The end result is amazing. WE LOVE OUR HOME. Thank you to the whole team at Cavalier. Show details · 1

Bringing dreams to life! – Having had no previous experience with building & after talking to several builders, Cavalier Homes stood out to me as a company that was willing to go above and beyond for their clients, provide high-quality homes, pay great attention to detail and respect and listen to their clients wants and needs, while maintaining a realistic point of view. … Read more · 1
The team at Cavalier walked me through every step, they listened to what I wanted and helped me define my non-negotiables. They set me up for success from the beginning making sure I was fully aware of costs & limitations relating to the build.
We worked together to ensure that the build had everything I needed and that every inch of space was functional, including completely customising the floor plan to include a split-level design that suited my block perfectly, with minimal impact and an entirely customer facade and matching roof-line.
The customer service was outstanding, from sales to contracts, to site supervisor and every employee I dealt with in between, they delivered my incredible custom home on budget, on time and despite some of the challenges we've faced with the pandemic over the last 2 years (but that impacted the build directly more recently).
I've ended up with a home that has incredible, high-quality finishes, great attention to detail and that stands out from the rest of the houses in the street - they've managed to bring something that I thought would only be a dream to life & I am beyond floored with the results. Cavalier truly have the balance right between professional and personal, between building a house and building a home.
Disappointment – I will state for the record I'm a tradesman & Cavalier Wondonga is the second home builder I have built with, first home built Sydney 2013. The difference between the two builds comes down to mostly rectification work which first home builder acted on immediately, Cavalier after 10 months since hand over next to zero rectification work carried… Read more
out. I don't wish to drag this review out to a long winded story so will leave out list mistakes & build faults that should be rectified. After numerous emails, phone calls, txt message's Cavalier still can't supply me with a locked in date to complete works, remember this has been 10 months & counting. As I'm a tradesman I fully understand customers that are hard to please, material shortages, labour shortages, effects Covid has caused & simply mistakes happen which is why I have held off for so long to write a review thinking my issues would be addressed in a reasonable time frame. I also know of the concept scheduling they use that concept to build your home but doesn't exist to fix mistakes & poor workmanship after hand over (what is called maintenance period). I also blame myself for being trusting during the build & hand over doing very limited inspection before paying final payment, but unfortunately at the time Covid had caused border lock down etc & inspection was limited & rushed, also time limited as existing home sold. I carried out due diligence selected builder due to the reviews here at time of building & going off my experience either there standards have dropped or my standards are to high, but using my last builder as the bench mark Cavalier Wodonga seems way bellow that standard. Simple question, would I build with Cavalier Wodonga again which is relevant as my daughter likes one of there home designs & wants to build near us, my answer to her was, on my experience find another home builder.
Our new home is great – The salesperson, James, was very good, one big advantage for us was being able to sit with him and create/ change the design instantly. There were a few communication issues from the sales process going from salesperson to Cavalier office with the office using old documents. Our site supervisor, Lyle, was great, he was very flexible, kept us up… Read more
to date with progress and the build went very well. After the build had been completed we had a couple of minor issues after we first took ownership, faulty power point tv cable was too short etc. We have now been in our home for 8 months and only recently noticed a few small faults that we reported, within a couple of weeks we had a maintenance guy, Damien, touch base with us to conduct or organise repairs with another trade. Nothing was ever a problem and repairs were completed quickly to our satisfaction. The price of the house was what was agreed to and came in at budget. An overall fantastic experience and an excellent build.

Great Experience with Cavalier Wodonga – From our experience of building homes with building companies, Cavalier Homes Wodonga have been extremely easy to deal with from start to finish. Our sales experience was amazing, knew the job role very well and took us through every stage of the build. Made it easy for us to understand what we were purchasing. Other office staff that we had… Read more · 1
dealings with were professional and courteous. Our building supervisor kept us up to date and never had a problem with us asking for any changes with the build along the way. Hand over of the property went with ease. Our overall experience was great.
Build with a company you can trust – We work with Cavalier and now we build our investment properties with a company we trust. From the very beginning we knew we were in good hands. We now have a few more projects in the making that will be starting in the new year. We love working with the Team at Cavalier Wodonga being a customer but also as their Cabinet Maker.

Another Investment in the market – Another investment property done. Cavaliers plans and standard items suit what I need for an easy, move in ready family home. As I have built several properties now I know the system, let them do the work and get a lovely home to put into the rental market. Show details · 1
Negative reviews
Poor finishing and cabinetry – Although l think our building is very good it's the finishing touches that fail. The cabinetry is not very good. Quite a few of our drawers do not close properly. We have issues with the flooring. Carpet coming up in the main bedroom and very uneven laminate boards. Even though we asked for it to be fixed we've just had to learn how to live with… Read more
it. The painting was redone in the main living area but overall a very poor standard. Unfortunately the builder who built our home is no longer a part of Cavalier. So l don't know what to do now. I know these are not big issues but it's sad when you build for the first time and don't get your dream home.our evaporative cooling has had issues from the start. Despite several repairs the problem is still ongoing. We have tried to contact the contractor who came to repair it but so far no response from them or Cavalier

No aftercare poor heating and cooling – I'm so disappointed in Cavalier homes. After my last review they did contact us but nothing was done. So unfortunately our problems are ongoing. Our evaporative cooling has never worked properly despite a tradesman fixing it on 3 occasions. Our laminate flooring looks uneven due to unlevel concrete. Now we find out our solar hot water hasn't been working for quite some time. It was NEVER turned on. Just had a tradesman to look at it. Show details

A living nightmare – Great customer service up Until the contracts are signed, and then the nightmare begins. I could go on for hours and hours about the issues I have had with Cavalier Albury/Wodonga however the truth is I’m over arguing. I wouldn’t ever consider stepping foot in another cavalier display home ever again. Show details

Cavalier Homes built our beautiful new home and we couldn't be happier. The design and finishes selection process was really thorough and ensured every detail was in place before we signed the final contract. The build went without one single problem - not one!

really enjoyed our walk-throughs during the build. The end product was exactly what we asked for. The build was finished well under the contracted time (good weather helped), and was absolutely on budget. The finish on our house was outstanding - we just completed the 3 month maintenance period and there were no defects or items needing repair at all. If I had to build another house tomorrow - I would build it with Cavalier Homes.
From the very beginning, Cavalier Homes understood our passion and commitment to assist those in need, treating this project with the care and respect it deserved. These homes are more than buildings—they are safe havens for women in crisis, offering dignity and comfort for those who need it most. Throughout the process, their communication was… Read more · 1

Generally A Good Experience – Very happy with majority of my Cavalier Experience, the sales team and my site supervisor were friendly and easily contactable. The real heart of the team is their admin, i found them Brillant, especially Kim Cannon i felt she was there every step of the way, informing me of all the details for each milestone. I love my new home, and have… Read more · 1
settled in wonderfully.
This would have been a 5 Star Review if it wasn't for a couple minor defects, the defects themselves weren't the issue, but the time.
I was advised will be fixed within the 3 Month guarantee, ending up taking over 12 months.
There was one minor defect left, they needed to follow up with a tradesperson, after this i got no response from Cavalier, left a few messages requesting a follow up, after a couple months i gave up !
A kinda disappointing end to what was a good experience.
In love with my new home! Highly recommend Cavalier – Cavalier Homes was great to deal with over the duration of the build, every step was handled and everything felt easy. Both the office staff and the supervisor were always happy to answer any questions. Over the moon with the finishes and quality of the workmanship through the entire house and the landscaping outside. 10/10 highly recommend. Show details · 1
After a few issues, I’m completely in love! – I am absolutely in love with the finished product, my site supervisor has produced a beautiful home. The process of the build however, was awful.

I had very little communication from my site supervisor about my progress which… Read more
was extremely frustrating. The office staff were fantastic to deal with, all my questions were answered in a timely manner and nothing was to difficult.

Excellent Customer service rep – Although we did not end up building with Cavalier homes I have submitted this review to compliment the outstanding customer service and sales work done by Travis in Bendigo.

Great Value, Great Quality, Great Customer Service! What more could anyone ask
Excellent work with excellent people – Cavalier Albury-Wodonga built our house at Khancoban. They were excellent to deal with. The initial and design phases went smoothly and they provided accurate guidance during these times. Construction was fantastic. Their site supervisor and sub contractors were excellent to deal with.
