Steve and Urvi – Steve and Urvi were both friendly and very helpful. We wanted to extend our 1930's home, and the design Steve developed based on our ideas really achieved everything we wanted. He made sure we could maximise our yard space and living space, while still sticking to our budget and all regulations. Show reply
Steve Kemp – We are very happy and delighted to have met Steve Kemp. The design he did for us is just perfect and ticked all the boxes of our brief. He is such a gentleman and kept us informed with every step of the design and very skilled at understanding our (my) garbled design requirements. Show reply
Really happy with our Dale Alcock experience – We have a home originally built in the 1930s and had been considering a renovation over many years. When we decided to take action, it was important to us to use a builder who was well established, with a track record in maintaining character features of older homes. We had heard positive reviews about Dale Alcock from friends who had built with… Read more · 1
them and made the initial approach.
Our Design Consultant, Simone Carter, was fabulous to deal with in the planning phase. Simone managed to tick all the boxes in our brief and we really liked her design ideas and enthusiasm for the project.
We then met Katy Wynne who managed the pre-construction process and found Katy to be similarly enthusiastic. Katy was also very helpful and professional in managing the variations required throughout the project.
Beau Maister, our Site Manager, was great at keeping us informed throughout the build process. Beau managed the build through to early completion and his attention to detail and care for our home was impressive. We were living nearby and able to monitor progress on a regular basis. Beau was readily available and happy to deal with our many questions. When issues arose, they were tackled professionally and swiftly.
We received positive feedback from neighbours regarding onsite progress and professionalism of the many trades people who attended the property.
Overall, we had a great experience with Dale Alcock - in particular the communication, professionalism and transparency of the team. We are delighted with the transformation of our home and expect to enjoy it for many years to come.
Excellent communication from Design Consultant – We are very pleased and satisfied with the communications we have had with our garden studio Design Consultant, Dean Brunton. He is very skilled in his area of expertise, reliable, polite and he listens to our comments and responds helpfully and appropriately. We would have no hesitation is recommending Dean to any prospective clients. Show reply
Delightfully life-changing – We had been considering a home extension and talked to a number of builders over the years, then as soon as we met with Dale Alcock we knew we could do this.

We were involved as much as we wanted, consulted where necessary but not burdened with… Read more · 1

Excellent Granny Flat Build Experience - Great Team – We are extremely happy with our 3 bedroom granny flat in St James - on an odd shaped block. It went smoothly from beginning to end, delivering to us an immediately usable dwelling within the time and budget discussed and agreed from the start. Chris Vietch's site management meant a stress free and comfortable journey. Steve Kemp - Initial Design… Read more · 1
Consultant (Highly recommended) Initial consultation with Steve went very well - he is an extremely skilled designer and very approachable - we quickly arrived at a practical design which met all our criteria. Design changes were incorporated without hassle and good advice was always available.
Katy Wynne - Preconstruction Coordinator Initial product and colour choices and follow-up coordination were well managed by Katy.
Chris Veitch - Site Manager (Highly recommended) As well as an approachable, friendly and professional, Chris's master planning, coordinating and checking meant that the building activities were packed into the time very well - there were very few days without at least one trades person on the job. Chris's attention to detail and compliance to standards and quality meant that a solid trust was built up between us quickly and the result was 'getting it right the first time' without stress. Changes we requested were smoothly incorporated without issue. Timely notice of coming activities was greatly appreciated. An excellent job.
We are intending to do a renovation next, and will definitely be choosing Dale Alcock for this - dependent on access to both Chris and Steve. :)
Dale - you can be very proud of the team you have built!
Many thanks. Nick and Louise
Great Granny Flat Building Experience – Excellent customer service throughout design and building process of our new Granny Flat in our backyard. Communication by the building manager kept us fully informed at all times throughout the building process. The project stayed on time and on budget despite weather challenges during winter. The trades onsite did a great job, were courteous and aware we were living onsite. We are very happy with the outcome. Show reply
Stunning Sorrento – Transformed our old tired house into a stunning modern family home. Had heard that home improvements can be stressful, however Dales took the stress away, had great communication through out and provided a fantastic result. We are so happy with our new home. Show reply
Dale Alcock home improvement crew are A1 meaning "out of this world" – My daughter hired Dale Alcock crew to put an extension on the house and didn't ask my opinion as she said she felt comfortable and great with them. Everything was as promised, so professional even the workmen knew I work nights so not to knock just go round the side. The communication these guys have is fantastic, everyone did the promised thing… Read more · 1
at the promised day and time. The two managers (one was called Blake sorry forgot the other guys name haha) came round often checking and kept us in the know with everything that was going on. OK! now you have got that the timing and communication was 100% let's get down to the work done. Brilliant! everyone is so envious , it is a fabulous extention and great quality. Time wise I think it was finished earlier than quoted but who's whinging. Everything about the staff and workmen we met in this crew is five star, you cannot fault Dale Alcock. Why am I writing this review? I like people to compliment me when I deserve it at work and I congratulate people when they deserve it and this company deserves it.
Quality & service; second to none! – What a wonderful success. The service during and after the renovation has been impeccable. Our team was always happy to help and accommodate our needs. And the building manager; a dream to work with. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Show reply

Our extension has changed our life! – The concept design by Steve Kemp for an extension to our 1960's house was absolutely perfect and the reason we chose to build with Dale Alcock Homes. We were able to live in the old house while they built the new part. No time was wasted in building the extension and Beau Maister's attention to detail on site was reassuring in that we didn't have… Read more · 1

Excellent Communication – As a person who has never built a house before, I found that the detailed step by step process covering everything from design, colours, fixtures and fittings etc to be extremely beneficial.

Tina, Design Consultant, Hannah, Pre-Construction Coordinator and Cameron, the Site Manager, were extremely helpful, friendly and were able to happily answer my questions and resolve any issues I had from time to time.

Thank You Dale Alcock Home Improvement for my new house.

excellent communicator. Main trades were friendly, accommodating and cleaned up after each day. If there was a concern it was followed up and addressed immediately. The DAH team gave us confidence knowing that we were in good hands and would achieve a high quality finish. Thoroughly recommend DAH for any build.
Modern and Wonderful Reno – My point of contact your Site Manager Blake is a real treasure and an asset to the Supervisory team at your company.

He was always willing to respond to any inquiry I had and followed up with satisfactory solutions. His team of trades… Read more · 1
people take pride in their different trade areas of expertise and each separate trade had done wonderful work in their presentation of completed works. Upon encountering them on site during their specific build they where all happy and had positive attitudes. They seemed proud of their individual workmanship and their area of the renovations and were happy for me to come to site and inspect the progress. All trades were pleased to be working for DAHI and involved in bringing the project together as a team. I am sure that this reflects Blake and the high standard of work ethic he expects from the guys and they all had a mutual respect for his managerial skills as they delivered on the finished product, which was so very pleasant to witness. So thank you to Blake and his team for the wonderful work and I look forward to many years of living in my updated home and enjoying the renovations.
They made it so easy for us – We have been so impressed with our renovation and second story extension. We lived in our home during works and were hardly disturbed.

We have remained in our home during the build and the entire team have ensured our security and safety at all times.
