Dale Alcock Homes

We have had issues from start to now!
Trouble with consultant, trouble with roof, trouble with ongoing delays, trouble with moving downlights and a tv point to a new location. Being told yes you can to be told no you can’t the next day! This is the biggest investment of our lives and to be told no you can’t move lights / tv point because it’ll cause delays when we have already suffered so many delays what’s another one to add when it’s how we want OUR house to be!
It has been one of the worse experiences for us, it’s not enjoyable at all.

Would not recommend!

We built with Dale Alcock Homes and had trouble from start to finish.
We been in the house just over 3 years and the front fence render is starting to peel off and discolour, you can see the outline of the bricks coming through the render.
Right from the beginning the fence has been to a poor standard, the wood slats were not painted properly with big sections with no paint at all we had to get them back 4 times and a visit from the supervisor for them to paint it properly and even then they had to touch up the render because they got the paint...

Trying to get some answers to why my Surfmist Colorbond roof is growing black fungus soon after it was built be aware of this company they don’t want to know after home is complete this has been ongoing and not a thing done but send me a solution on how to clean it .

If you want a builder that over promises & under delivers at every stage of the building process, then choose Dale.

Staff will verbally confirm things with you to get the sale across the line, then completely miss IMPORTANT features on the final designs that are vital to the functionality of the building layout. The entire house layout was designed to take advantage of indoor outdoor living. The server window had to be removed due to misinformation by the staff, and the large alfresco door has been completely missed due to internal errors on ...

overall the build was excellent with attention from all concerned particularly the building supervisor, unfortunately on a handover you dont climb all over the roof and assume things are done properly, 20 years later we are still experiencing water leaks, when contacted customer service we were told must be the installation of air conditioning system !

Hi. I am a foreigner. I chose Dale Alcock because they win a lot of award and we thought we will get a very good result from them even the price is expensive. But the Ending is the worst Ending. Here is why,
1. In the contract said Aircon suitable for the house. What we get is aircon system that only can be used for half the house, either bedrooms or living room. Dale Alcock said it is our fault that we did not ask the detail about the aircon since beginning.
2. Lousy workmanship. We found lot of defects that need to be addressed but it is so ...

Bought a Dale Alcock home built in 2005 that was constructed in 2003 that I am now Selling.
The buyers building inspector discovered that the roof has zero collar ties and that the roof construction my home is not compliant with the building code.
It turns out that as I am not the original owner, Dale Alcock will not fix the roof that is non-complaint with the building code. If I were the original owner then they would because the house was built less than 24 years ago.
Turns out they don't have the original drawings anymore either, so I've no ...

Uneven walls,poorly filled mortar in the bricks, cracks in the slab
Holes in the inside and outside walls,
Cracks showing in the one corner of the house
The brick pattern around the window frames not good
I only see half the house done with termi mesh
They brake the corner of the slab installing the soak-wells

Lack of consitant professional site supervision during the build resulted in a number of issues during the build that were only picked up by hiring my own building inspector, items including but not limited to structural roof timbers missing and overall lack of quality workmanship, this has resulted in ongoing call outs and repairs which they have followed through with but is still disheartening.

Dale Alcock Developments were one of a number of builders that were consulted prior to requesting a tender for a nine unit residential development. From the outset all DAD's staff were very accommodating from initial discussions, quoting, pre-start nothing was too much trouble.
During the build process both the Site Manager and Project Manager were available to discuss any aspect of the project, whether over the phone, by email or on site. The project was well managed with a clean and organised site and trades that appeared happy to be involved...

Firstly, when we built our house I probably would have written a review much like the others here - a review where you feel really happy with a brand new house and you are about to move in or just moved in. However that type of review tells other very little except that the sales process went well. You can't tell the quality of the house at this stage, so any reviews of the sales process are of little worth.

We built a custom home with Dale back in 2003. Nine years later, in 2012, I complained to Dale Alcock Homes and the Building Manager, an...

During the sales process we made a lot of changes to get the design exactly how we wanted and this was well received by the sales team.
We had a final negotiation during the signing of the contract and this is where we hit the first bump as we worked through this issue with the sales team but as they had handed us over we needed to explain all the issues again to the next team.
This was then the second bump as their systems and processes continued on through the process. Our contract issue had not been fixed and we proceeded to explain this to ...

We have been in our house for less than 24 months and have been having problems after problems. I have really restrained from writing a review but since another thing going wrong I just had to now. First was windows (one that i paid extra 5k for), then aircon which also was an "upgrade", then also toilet smells which was a result of poor workmanship, then crappy front door lock, now burst pipe which has resulted in flooded room and wall cavity, it has also damaged my furniture which i doubt dales would pay for. I wonder what would be next. VERY...

Overall we are very satisfied with the entire process. Dale Alcock has built a lovely quality home which we absolutely love. The price estimated at the beginning and end was exact and nothing went over budget during the process. The materials used were good quality and no shortcuts were made during the whole process, trust me I was keeping a close eye during the whole build process.

Rachael was our sales consultant and she was extremely helpful, patient and accommodating in assisting us to build and designing a custom home that fits our bud...
