We had the best time with Krysta who helped us to design our home perfectly. She took a lot of pressure off us by providing her wealth of knowledge with a smile and helped turn a scary design process into a fun, memorable experience. We are very excited for continuing with Coral Homes. Thanks Krysta!! Show details

These builders are not good at all, they took more than 15 months to build a small double storied house Sacramento 263Q.

finish the build on time, we had to constantly chase them and still they delivered our house late with few things still pending to be done. as soon as we moved in, we got horrible plumbing issue. we don't know how the council or the builder approved that nasty plumbing they did. completely unacceptable. The communications between the teams is horrible, we didn't get the blinds we selected and other things too, you never get to talk to anyone higher than the site supervisor, when asked they just give the contact details of another site supervisor, Our handover was done by a guy called [Name Removed] and he absolutely is a horrible guy. he didn't have any smile or any interest in handing us the house. he just said these are the keys and that's all, what an experience Coral homes gave us. Never go with these builders.

Our Coral Homes build has now wrapped up, and we’re pleased to finally be at the finish line. The home presents well, and the design we chose has come together nicely overall. There were certainly a few “character-building” moments along the way, but with some patience and persistence, things eventually aligned as they needed to. While the journey… Read more ·  1

From start to finish, this was an incredible and very positive journey.

As to the actual build (The Highlands), the simple fact is, we want to do it… Read more ·  1

again! But only on the condition [Name Removed] is our site supervisor. What an incredible job he did - his attention to detail was exceptional and his juggling of so many trades in so many weather conditions was a masterclass! I'd hate to do his job!!!

[Name Removed]'s ability to improvise when areas were held up (for a myriad of reasons), pivoting to completing other areas just to keep the build going was superb and kept us well on track. [Name Removed]'s communication was always first class so we always knew what was happening, had happened, any issues that arose etc. which honestly is half the battle I'm sure.

The site cut was November 2024 and we had handover in November 2025 and that's with months of torrential rain (we have a dead flat, boggy block!) and a cyclone! Amazing.

So thank you [Name Removed] - we couldn't be happier and when we build again, you have to be our SS!

Cheers - Dave and Amanda - Ransome, QLD.

Coral Homes Management To whom it may concern, I am writing to share my experience with Coral Homes, specifically highlighting the outstanding contributions of [Name Removed], the site supervisor who managed the latter stages of our most recent project. During the course of our builds, we had encountered two previous site supervisors who,… Read more ·  1

unfortunately, struggled with communication and consistency. This resulted in significant delays, multiple unanswered emails, and a number of unresolved issues, including mold and water damage, subpar tiling, and extensive mud throughout areas that needed professional cleaning. Many tasks were left unfinished or not fully completed, which caused considerable stress as we watched the project press toward completion.

[Name Removed] entered the project near the end and immediately made a substantial difference. He worked tirelessly day in and day out to address the outstanding items and to push the project toward a satisfactory finish. His communication stood out markedly; he provided regular updates, clear timelines, and concrete next steps, which greatly alleviated our frustrations and kept us informed throughout the final phase. His professionalism and customer-focused attitude were evident at every interaction, even when problems arose, and his approach to problem-solving was practical and effective. He took ownership of the remaining tasks and coordinated well with trades to resolve issues and improve overall quality.

Without [Name Removed] leadership, the outcome of this project would have been far less satisfactory. His efforts helped salvage the work and enabled us to achieve a much better finish than we would have otherwise. Based on our experiences, we might not have confidence in starting new builds with Coral Homes if not for [Name Removed] involvement.

Looking forward, I strongly recommend that [Name Removed] be recognized and rewarded for his dedication and client-focused approach. At the same time, there is a clear need to address the broader issues we faced in the early stages of our project.

In closing, we have built three homes with Coral Homes and were considering additional projects in the future. [Name Removed] performance at the end of this job has been a decisive factor in our willingness to continue working with you. I hope upper management takes this feedback seriously and uses it to reinforce best practices across all sites.

We have worked in the construction industry for a long time. We were so pleased with the pricing and sales team. Our build has not moved in any meaningful way since before Christmas and it's nearly mid March. Our friends and family ask us why, our broker and our bank have asked us why and we have nothing to tell them except we get so little… Read more

communication, so little progress and no explanation. It's so weird and unexpected. I won't go into the attitude of our supervisor and the workmanship issues we've had to have rectified. To be fair once we complained and involved QBCC it was dealt with after initially being gaslit about the issues being non existent. Overall- I was super excited but it's turned an over $800k build that should have been a life achievement into a pain and an embarrassment socially. I do not recommend Coral homes. They may be cheap, but maybe they are going broke or something? I can think of no other reason why for months no progress has occurred on a semi built home. I used to advocate for developers to consider volume builders as many designs are now really suitable for boutique builds - but having no real progress on site for months on end could bankrupt some people.

Good afternoon everyone. My building is at everleigh estate and building with Coral Homes. Before I came here to write this review about coral homes, my experience and still ongoing have affected me physically financially and most of all psychologically. I am writing to express my profound disappointment and frustration with Coral Homes. My… Read more

experience has been nothing short of unacceptable. The team at their Varsity Lakes location—under the supervision of [Name Removed] and [Name Removed]—has demonstrated conduct that is unreasonable, unprofessional, and entirely devoid of accountability.

I signed a contract last year, and construction began in early January 2025. Despite this long timeline, they attempted to hand over a house that is clearly incomplete and does not meet practical completion. I engaged a third-party inspector, whose report confirmed numerous defects, including a broken electrical seal—a component they were contractually responsible for installing. Instead of rectifying this, Coral Homes attempted to shift blame onto me.

When I contacted Energex, they confirmed in writing that the contractor, not the homeowner, is responsible for ensuring electrical compliance. Yet even after forwarding this to Coral Homes, [Name Removed] insisted on charging me delay fees for a home that is unsafe, unfinished, and not legally ready for handover. Both he and [Name Removed] then refused to allow me, the owner, to view the supposed “completed” work, while still demanding payment.

Their conduct has delayed my handover, caused significant distress, and created an environment of intimidation and pressure. Their behaviour has left me feeling bullied, unheard, and treated unfairly.

To anyone considering building with Coral Homes—especially in logan and Everleigh Estate area especially please take my experience as a serious warning. What they advertise and what they deliver are worlds apart. I strongly advise others to stay far away. Don't trust them and don't build with them.

wise: - My house sat at practical completion for 4 months due to my SS leaving - House was handed over with things still green taped to be repaired - Main bathroom has a slant of 15mm AWAY from the drain. Coral has denied the warranty claim, stating the code doesnt require the water to run to the drain. - My garage door tracks are not flush and make an awful sound everytime they are opened. - My kitchen was upgraded to 2-pack. One drawer front was chipped. This was reported to 3 different levels of the construction team AND the admin who called to check my practical completion report was correct. I was assured it would be fixed after handover. Since then, they are denying it was ever reported. - Paid for an upgraded bath, wrong bath was installed and Area Building Manager said it was "too hard" to fix. - Paint work is terrible. Paid for wash and wear and it feels as though maybe once coat was put on the walls. - Fan was installed but not connected (fixed by coral warranty) - Was told by construction manager that I shouldnt get an independant inspection because it's "unnecessarily delay things"

All in all, its not horrible but it's not the standard I would expect from a brand new home. I will likely build again, with a different builder.

We are currently building with Coral Homes and, unfortunately, our experience with their customer service has been quite disappointing. When we first signed with them, their New Home Consultant assured us that the price lock would be valid for 12 months. However, just six months into the process, we were informed that the contract had expired and… Read more

were asked to pay an additional $9,900 to proceed with the same construction.

During the construction phase, we were also informed—via a phone call—that the floor tiles we had originally selected were discontinued, and we were required to reselect them. This not only caused delays but added frustration to the process. To make matters worse, when we requested a change to just one type of tile, we were told there would be a $3,000 administrative fee.

Based on our experience, I would not recommend Coral Homes. I suggest looking into other builders who offer clearer communication and more reliable service.
