Best Decision
We were only browsing on the net we are not really sure if we wanting to build that time came from NZ not long ago. But things have changed our prospective when we met dreamstart everything fall into place and now we are moving in very happy and satisfied customer from start to finish everyone in the team are very responsive to our questions
have been helpful. The quality and construction was great. The final cost was within our estimated cost. This was our best experience in building. Highly recommended.

Superb build
Sales consultant was excellent helped turn this dream into a reality, The build wasn’t the quickest but it is just the industry and market environment. Building Supervisor was amazing keeping on top of the trades to make sure everything was complete to a high standard. Client Liaison was providing regular updates when needed, any questions asked always got an answer rather promptly.
No issues during the construction, the most frustrating part was key handover with the house not being up to the required standard for the bank to green light the final progress payment. The price I was quoted to build the house is the price I paid no price rises.
My experience with dreamstart was great would recommend.

House well built on time
From the get go the salesman was not pushy and very informative, no lies or half truths, helped me with my design and land selection.
Prestart was pretty straightforward and a simple affair, admittedly I already knew what I wanted.
Slab was poured at the end of June 2022 and the house was handed over August 2023.
Throughout the build any concerns or questions I had were addressed/answered very promptly, I was kept up to date with weekly reports and there were minimal delays. I had no surprise extra costs or other issues.
Would I build with Dreamstart again? Definitely!!

Love our new house!
Our house is well built and it’s what we’re expecting.
It’s big and the space is comfortable.
The only issue is that it took a while for the hand over. Still the staff are well mannered in attending to our inquiries and their efforts of sending someone to check for some repairs.
Our house is great!

Diligent and fantastic effort!
The house have taken so long to finish but the staff are so diligent and respectful towards our inquiries specially if there are some maintenance needed. Their efforts came up great as the house turn our big, comfortable and beautiful.
Have some issues after moving in, but they are still so diligent in repairs and maintenance.

Excellent service throughout the building process
Dreamstart were amazing to deal with. We couldn’t believe how quickly our build happened. Especially after hearing lots of horror stories from other people who had gone with other builders. Our build was 7 months from start to move in. Our client liaison Jenna was always on hand if we had any questions and replied quickly and professionally. Ben, our site supervisor was also great and very knowledgeable.
We didn’t have any price increases and everything ran smoothly.
We are very happy with everything on our new home. The workmanship is great.
Can’t thank Jenna and the whole Dreamstart team enough. We are so grateful.

Outstanding company, with amazing communication
The thing that has impressed me the most is the professionalism, knowledge and helpfulness of all the workers. Everyone on the team seems to be personally involved and go above and beyond for each and every client. I was aware of the delays before signing on with Dreamstart however I was quoted a much larger delay than my build time. Not only did I receive weekly communication from not only my client Liaison Officer but my sales rep still checks in on me. Overall I am extremely happy with the work that has been done and the professionalism throughout this whole process.

Absolutely fantastic!
The whole process from start to finish was fantastic. We were always kept up to date with timeframes and consistent communication throughout. The quality of our home is so wonderful and it makes us so proud as home owners that the house was built to such a high standard.
Our total cost of build did not change from the start to key handover! No hidden costs, no additional fees even with the cost of living going up - our build cost stayed the same.

My biggest Mistake was choosing this builder. ! Never again !
Before your Dreams turns into a Nightmares'. Do not build with Dreamstart. Not worth the stress and headache.
Their Quality of work on site was appalling and no compassion, can't rectify their mistake/errors they make.
Unprofessional area Manager ,Contracts manager think they above the law. Site supervisor are lazy and don't bother to check or monitored the site works which lead to too many errors due to lack of communication between Liaison officer, site supervisor and managers.
At post construction they overcharge with high interest fees unexplained payment keep filing in, demanding extra payment with no form of explanation or reason.
Very Greedy and impatient with no respect to people times.

A positive experience
Given the current climate in the construction industry we were very pleasantly surprised when we had no delays and no price increases during our build with Dreamstart, the cost at the end of the build is what we were quoted at the start. They were transparent and honest through the whole process, gave us regular updates and were happy to answer any questions. The build looks great and I would recommend Dreamstart to any first home buyer who is unsure of who to build with, or are concerned with who they can trust in this heightened market.

Top service throughout
Through probably the toughest building times in over a decade was still happy with the communication of progress and my client liaison checking in weekly just to see if I had any questions.
Finished quality of the build is beyond what I expected and havnt had any cracks or issues as yet

Incredible communication from start to finish
No dramas from start to finish, everyone we dealt with was open and communicative and so friendly. Despite delays in the roof being completed due to tradie shortages, which was not Dreamstart's fault, our build had no issues. Given the industry currently and the horror stories in the media, we are pleased to say that we have not encountered anything negative with Dreamstart, including no price rises during construction.
Special mention to Holly, our liaison, who was impeccable!! Her communication, timeliness and attention was flawless; no que
