It's been nearly 4 years since we handed over. And plain an simply, we love our home. I don't normally submit reviews, so this is saying something! Sure there were the odd hiccups, but they did everything asked of them and then some. Very happy. Show details

We're in the Pre-construction stage with Clarendon at the moment. Our experience so far has been a good one. Having built before, we really appreciate how much more involved we are in the process with the way Clarendon has structured all the stages. Having the opportunity to work with each team on addressing anything early on leaves alot less room… Read more

Our Customer Service Consultant kept us updated regularly and was so helpful and polite with handling any questions or concerns we had. She was very prompt to get things sorted for us when we found anything that needed attention.

Throughout the construction phase, [Name Removed] (our site manager) provided an exceptional experience. Whenever we raised a defect or concern, he took time to listen, understand, and collaborate on a practical solution. He proactively monitored progress and quality control to minimise defects, while his regular progress updates kept us fully informed every step of the way. Overall, we are happy and grateful to have had him manage our build. Show details

We recently received our keys for our newly built house from Clarendon Homes in Western Sydney (after completing a knock-down rebuild). We could not be more impressed with the service we received and the quality of the product. Our Construction Customer Service Consultant, Ainona Manu guided us through every step of the build, ensuring we were… Read more

kept up to date and keeping our mind at ease with progress. Our Site Manager, Scott Page did an exceptional job in delivering the house for handover (early!), ensuring that all the trades were completed to an exceptional quality, and keeping us up to date as the build progressed.

We do not plan to build again, because we have our forever home in which we look forward to making many memories. BUT, if we did build again, we would use Clarendon. Thank you for your work and, commitment and service.

We looked at several home builders in the Sydney region but really liked the floor plan and options provided by Clarendon. The sales process was quite smooth and the consultant was pretty good. The process from sales to contract was very lengthy due to site conditions (trees, removal of cross over, etc.). The selection process over 3 days was very… Read more

enjoyable but the consultants (especially kitchen and electrical) and are not very good at guiding you through. You really need to be clear on what you need and review everything.

The construction process started in October 2024 with a 56 weeks contracts. Handover was completed in May 2026 (7 months late). [Name Removed] (our supervisor) was really good and did not settle for good enough. So we had some delays but very few defects post handover. His communication was good, regular and he was always happy to meet with us on site to show us progress.

What I would improve: - Some trades are simply not great (flooring especially) and our internal stone wall had to be redone due to the wrong products being delivered. - Pre-Construction process is very slow and requires triple-checking everything.

What I love: - The access to the portal with regular updates, photos, etc. - Site supervisor communication and focus on quality - The end product (very happy)

Key recommendations: - Make sure you have an appropriate budget for upgrades (during the selection process). Some products must be upgraded (flooring, electrical, A/C, etc.) - Be patient. Construction may take longer than expected. It's OK if you are not in a hurry but other builders will typically be faster than Clarendon. The speed also depends on the location of your build - Do not take the sales quote as your final budget. Additional costs will be incurred for BASIX, site requirements, storm water, upgrades, etc.

This is our second build with Clarendon Homes in the last five years. I researched and visited 15 home builders before deciding to do our KDRB in greater Sydney and another KDRB on the NSW Central Coast. While there were some challenges during covid on timings, overall they have been great to deal with. Very fair and excellent post handover customer service. Show details

Well I read a couple of the reviews I can say with absolute sincerity that I’m a very proud owner of a Clarendon home.

Our completed home is as equal quality if not better than the… Read more

exhibition version. The total experience with Clarendon was perfect from the start to completion. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and assisted us through each stage making it a pleasurable experience. Of course there were minor problems but most of these were not Clarendons fault, like council and material suppliers. [Name Removed] our site supervisor was in full control of the situation making the building a breeze. The hero for me is [Name Removed], in customer service/support. When ever I needed help or for someone just to listen to my problems, [Name Removed] always there for me and fixed any grievances I may have had without any fuss. I have built homes with two other major building companies and in my opinion Clarendon with their staff and their quality tradesmen leaves the others in their dust. If you ask me would I recommend Clarendon, bloody oath I would

Building a home is a massive emotional and financial investment for any family. We placed our complete trust and a million-dollar budget into Clarendon Homes, choosing their flagship model, the Mosman 50. To ensure a high-quality finish, we even paid for a premium upgrade to Nood Co basins in our bathrooms. Disappointingly, this upgrade ultimately… Read more

turned into a grueling 17-month dispute. Upon handover, out of the 5 Nood Co basins installed in our home, almost all of them had quality defects—4 of which had severe surface mechanical scratches, cracks, and honeycomb manufacturing holes. Throughout these 17 months, we maintained the utmost rationality and patience as clients. We repeatedly went on-site to take high-definition photos and videos, compiled them into detailed emails for the Clarendon team, and politely waited for them to provide a reasonable solution. During this time, they dispatched two separate batches of replacement basins. Shockingly, the quality of these replacements was so poor that even Clarendon’s own plumber couldn't bring himself to install them. The plumber refused to mount these defective products twice, packed up his tools, and walked away. Despite paying every single invoice on time and being fully cooperative, the final response we received from the management team was incredibly cold: we were told to either spend our own money to buy entirely new basins elsewhere, or accept and install these scratched, defective items. If we refused, they would simply "Close the case" and wash their hands of it. Before they closed the case, I sent a final email, pleading with them to carefully look at the specific issues I had documented for each basin. I informed them that if our basic consumer guarantees could not be met, I would be forced to seek external assistance from NSW Fair Trading. Regrettably, they ignored our plea and shut down our case anyway, showing zero willingness to even verify the facts. Left with no other choice, I formally lodged a complaint with NSW Fair Trading today. Paradoxically, just hours after the official authority notification went through, the Customer Care team—which had stubbornly closed our case and refused to communicate—suddenly "came back to life" .They sent an email, with a drastically softer tone, stating they had learned of my Fair Trading lodgement and were now "willing to reach out to the supplier again and further review my previous correspondence." When a client communicates in good faith and waits patiently for 17 months, they are met with an arrogant, arbitrary closure. Yet, the moment a government regulatory notice hits their desk, they change their tune within hours to "carefully review" the case. This corporate culture—which only respects government authority while treating a regular client's patience as weakness—is deeply disappointing. We have completely lost confidence in Clarendon Homes. We will no longer accept any compromised, defective products and will firmly pursue our rights to a full remedy through the official legal channel.

It has been a pleasant and satisfactory experience to work with [Name Removed], our Customer Service Consultant from Clarendon Homes. To customers, it appears that they are the Clarendon Homes, and CSC has to answer all and any questions. But we know it’s not that simple and easy, because there are so many parties involved in the process, there… Read more

are the Council, so many teams from Clarendon Homes, there are contractors, and we might have so many stupid questions and we might not understand that it’s not their responsibility to educate us. But, to my experience, [Name Removed] has got all questions answered, and process progressed in time, exactly what we wanted. From experience, to save time and efforts, we must be well prepared to understand the documents well, and the essence of variations, we need to understand what questions to ask and ask clearly, nowadays much easier with the assistance from AI.

You can tell to do her job well, it requires great communication and coordination skills as well as good many years of experience in the building industry. [Name Removed] has demonstrated all well.

[Name Removed] worked so hard over the past over half a year time on our project. She managed to have lodged our DA on Christmas night, and I can tell she sent over many documents for us to sign off on Sunday nights. She is one of the Clarendon Home staffs we have worked with that made us build our faith in Clarendon Homes.

In the meanwhile, Clarendon Homes never denied any reasonable questions, they resolved the problems instantly without any arguments.

We are so grateful for all Monica has done for us, and appreciated very much indeed.

Having built with Clarendon on two previous occasions, we have high expectations for our new build. We have not been disappointed so far. We have just completed the Pre-Construction stage of our build. Like any major project there are always challenges along the way however [Name Removed], our Customer Service Consultant, has handled these… Read more

exceptionally well. Frequent communication particularly on what has been completed, what was next and timeframes for each step, was done very well and much appreciated. The only real delays we experienced were related to the final construction drawings and a supplier change that impacted some of our internal selections. Both these were managed very well by [Name Removed] and in the overall project whilst annoying, they were relatively minor. Clarendon have great house designs and are very accommodating with customer requested changes. Whilst this is very important to us, the most important aspect is delivery of a quality build at a reasonable price. We are confident based on [Name Removed] and the Pre-Construction journey that this will be achieved.

My Clarendon Homes build experience started out very disappointing after the contracts were signed. I had no idea about organising the demolition of the existing dwelling , getting arborists reports required for tree removal , and lodging VAC driveway notifications to the local Council , etc. Clarendon H.O. at this stage provided no guidance… Read more

other than advising "this is your responsibility" , despite me explaining I had never built a house before. I expected some recommendations or interest to help. This bad feeling was aggravated when I was later advised more expensive piling work had to be done by another company , to which Clarendon added their 25% builders margin for doing no part of that unexpected job ! Fortunately once the construction was completed , the Clarendon Customer Care team changed my opinion. [Name Removed] the warranty consultant was excellent in communicating and organising fixing the repairs on my defects list. Her involvement gave me confidence Clarendon would put things right. To this end , a special shout out to [Name Removed], the Clarendon tradie who went above and beyond in fixing other minor repairs , besides the ones he was assigned. Their combined positive approach and attitude wanted me to award 5 STARS. However when rating the overall Clarendon Homes experience , I need to adjust back to 4 STARS to account for the early hospital pass challenges requiring a beginner like me to organise preparation of the building site before Clarendon would start the build.

fill them in, as i had only moved 3-4 months after my handover, they were picked up and resolved by the clarendon customer care team, which were fantastic. They were polite and understanding and helped me with login issues and were diligent in their follow up to get all the defects rectified. In particular want to thank both [Name Removed] and [Name Removed] for their patience and assistance in all the matters we needed fixed including crack in one of our bathroom sinks with 3rd party supplier. Clarendon definitely have a great team working in their customer care team.
