Render peeling off fence
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...

workmanship questioned-could have been excellent
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 !

Bad experience with Dale Alcock
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 ...

Read more with you. Our Building Manager will also contact you directly regarding your queries.I have requested to meet on site since october so that you can explain everything, but so difficult. is this how you handle customer?
So Jeremy the big boss, email me saying Dale Alcock will not entertain me as customer at all and will not send his staff to the house to attend all the complain. Great Job Dale Alcock. I will sue you in court!

Built a non-compliant roof with no collar ties
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 ...
Hi John,
We are disappointed to read about your experience. We understand our service team has been in contact with you regarding your concerns and are working through this issue with you.
Not really. Your service team said I have to pay for it to be fixed... I don't see how that equates to "working through the issue" with me at all. Since then, I've have zero correspondence from dale alcock homes.

Well managed project
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...
Hi Nathan,
Thanks so much for this great feedback on your experience with Developments by Dale Alcock. It's great to hear you would happily recommend our Developments service and we hope to work with you again in the future.
Wishing you all the best....

We won't choose Dale again
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...
Read more engineer and the building supervisor came as a group to inspect my house. I showed them cracks from the front of my house to the rear (many rooms had cracks). I showed them wall cracks on the inside walls and the outside walls and a crack in our kids bathroom floor. At the time I didn't show them the large long crack on my ensuite floor. Many floor tiles have very big cracks. It wouldn't have mattered though. These three experts (not one but three) offered no logical reason (just theoretical reasons - see below) why my house had so many cracks. They were hoping to deflect the blame for the cracks on "it is your soak wells that probably caused it", but this was easily dismissed much to their surprise. I asked for a follow up letter about our meeting but suspect the following line in their follow up letter was copied from a building manual. "we informed you the most common contributor of cracking is due to settlement of surrounding soils, thermal conditions and the performance of dissimilar material. " How any of that general statement relates to my house who knows. For example the surrounding soils were well and truly settled when I built. Thermal conditions - Don't they build houses for Australian thermal conditions?Hi Gary,
We are disappointed to hear about your experience with us and we have passed this message onto our team who are looking further into the matter.
Kind regards,

Not worth the price
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...
Read more disappointing as we were recommending friends/family and was proud to be building with Dales but really this product isnt even worth 1 star especially for the price as well - so much for us upgrading specs to our home.

Fantastic service and great quality build
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.

Read moreget and size block. We were going to choose another boutique builder but in the end Dale's provided a discount, better reputation and had more inclusions so we signed up. Vince our site manager was great, he was thorough, knowledgeable and helpful when ever we had questions about anything. When it was time to do hand over he made sure most things were sorted so there was hardly anything to fix up, the place was in great condition which was good. Tania our client relations officer was super helpful, when ever I had questions she called and replied back straight away. If there was a problem with something then we were notified and talked about options. Reason for my 4 star review wasn't because I'm not happy because I am but during the pre construction stage we had several Dale Alcock employees coming and going, changing positions etc during the pre construction stage which made the planning stages extremely stressful. In the end we had to have our sales consultant Rachael step in and take over to answer things and get things done because people in the business were not explaining things right to us, giving wrong pricing, not including things we asked for, not taking things out we wanted and old incorrect plans were being handed around adding to the confusion. Luckily Rachel paid close attention to what we wanted and was able to smooth things out.Hi Jamie, Thanks so much for sharing your feedback on your building experience.

Questions & Answers
I built my home in 2009 and still live in it. One of the rear rooms has bad cracking in the cornice and wall above the window and the window frame is hard to open and close to the point where the frame is not square and the glass has 'moved'. This is covered under the 25-year structural warranty? regards Richelle
