Very happy 60 year old home owner
Never thought that owning our own home would ever become a reality as we had tried before and failed because of financing. A simple online enquiry with little hope and just wishful thinking really brought us Shawn Lewis, an excellent consultant, he is very well informed of the whole process. He helped us overcome obstacles and made our home a reality. The first finance broker got us nowhere so Shawn got someone else who made it happen. We were nearly aged 60 and the banks were tighten up on funding. We got a loan with minimal deposit. Our budge...Read more
t was about $300K so I'm sure it was a challenge for Shawn. While we looked at house plans Shawn had given us, we looked at areas he knew blocks of land were available and found one we loved in more ways than one. Construction was not as quick as others but the quality was very good. No cracks have appeared on walls. Biggest challenge was with the contract administration with making changes, the first was real hard work, the next was better but still work. It's best to a have all details sorted before signing. Alistair Hunt is an excellent construction supervisor, very contactable and attention to detail. Bottom line, we are very happy with our home and I seriously doubt it would have happened if not for Shawn Lewis.1 comment

Best in the West home builders.
We started looking to buy a new house and land package late 2019, went to a few other companies but were very pressured into signing straight away the sales people were very pushy. We then stumbled onto summit homes easy start and met Shawn Lewis, he was amazing he went through everything thoroughly and gave us time to think and we ended up coming back to him and that's when the journey started.
We were off to a rocky start as we weren't really ready to buy a house but with Shawn's help through out everything that got thrown against us he kept...Read more
helping us and helping us, without him we wouldn't be where we are now, top salesman and even better bloke. Anna Sharpe was an amazing pre start consultant, without her help and patience we wouldn't have the wonderful home that we have now. Building and construction, Craig George awesome bloke very helpful constantly keeping in touch with updates and timelines and any little problems that showed up, but he was on to it getting them sorted just as quick. Through out it all there were parts that were a bit stressful but with everyone's help at summit easy start homes it was short lived, they made the whole process pretty much hassle free and quite easy, guess that's where easy start comes from. Overall great company even better people we are very glad we decided to go with them, we have now have a wonderful home thanks to everyone there.1 comment

No problems builder
I built with Easy Start last year & have been meaning to write a review since I moved in June 2019. All the trades were fantastic and the finished product was great. My site supervisor was so efficient, easy to deal with (Brendan) & I couldn't thank him enough. Couple of issues at handover were handled almost immediately & one small issue 6 months after handover was rectified within 2 days of me reporting. The whole process was extremely well managed & my next build will hands down be through the Summit Group. My painters even commented on the quality of the build.
Great work guys, thanks for facilitating the easiest build.

Overall satisfactory build
Our journey with Tim Quinlivan began in August 2019. We had to make some drastic adjustment to the plan due to unforeseen circumstances. Tim was there for us back and forth trying to make the plan work within the budget constraints.
He has never given up on us and his passion for his work never stopped him from trying again to meet our expectations. He has gone above and beyond his duties.
Once we have found a design that suits the budget, he kicked start everything without delaying the process and we were on to getting our prestart meeting ...Read more
organised. I must say the prestart meeting was overwhelming since it was our first time and not knowing what to expect. We got on to a rocky start as we had to make decisions on the spot but however, our contract administrator Anne Sharpe had made adjustments to suit. Throughout the journey, Tim has been checking in on the progress and had never forgotten about us. I must say that it is rather important to align your expectations with your site supervisor to have the final outcome as expected.1 comment

Very happy home owners
Both my partner and I have been so thoroughly impressed with the service we have received from Summit/ Easy Start throughout the process of our build, we want to extend our thanks.
When we started the process of looking to build, we had a few meetings with consultants from other building companies. During these meetings, we felt we were being pushed into a fast build and there was an obvious pressure to start signing documents. We met with Dan Lewis from Summit and instantly felt relieved and at ease. He was so friendly, easy to contact and ta...Read more
lk to, thorough in his job and knowledgeable. He walked us through a Summit site and it was obvious he was confident in the Summit products and took great pride in his role. We decided after meeting with Dan that Summit would be the company we build our house with. We had made quite a few changes to our plans also, which included designing a wall around an 8ft fish tank with the addition of drains and taps. Holly Backstrom did our prestart meeting and was able to accomodate all of our changes. She also followed up the prices of changes for us before we made our final decisions, which we thank her for. She was easy to contact and thorough in her role. Our build started and we watched our home grow over the last few months. We were constantly amazed at the quality of the build, the work of the tradesmen, the cleanliness of the site and the communication from our site supervisor. Our supervisor Alistair was easy to communicate with, always kept us in the loop of where our build was at and had a keen eye at PCI. We appreciate how Alistair looked after us and our home to ensure the final product is exceptional. There are other houses in our street and neighbouring streets that were being built at the same time and the comparison between Summit and other builders was obvious. The other sites were messy, poor quality builds that look as if they have been slapped together. These houses were rushed and messy and it made the Summit building site stand out for good reasons. We are so happy with our home and have absolutely no regrets building with Summit. I often speak to people who would not build again with their builder, however we are quite the opposite. We cannot recommend Summit highly enough and wanted to pass forward our thanks and we look forward to getting our keys and preparing for the next build.1 comment

Very impressed.
As it was my first time building I didn't know what to expect, but Daniel Lewis (my new homes consultant) answered all my questions in an easy to understand manner and kept me informed of what I needed to do to proceed.
James Giancola (my finance consultant) from Westgate financial services couldn't have made it easier for me to get my loan sorted out.
Joane Erasmus (my client administrator) was so helpful and made pre start really easy and enjoyable.
All in all I am very impressed with the service and look forward to the rest of my build.

The whole process before, during, and after the construction of my home has been fantastic. Following my first meeting with Shawn Lewis I knew that I had a great feeling about how everything was going to eventuate. I was expecting to feel a certain amount of anxiety and uncertainly about building my first home, but I found everything eventuated easily and in a timely manner, all my expectations were exceeded. Any queries I had were responded to immediately and everyone I liaised with has been completely accommodating, transparent, and approacha...Read more

Amazing service and finished product!
The build was very well managed. The supervisor was in regular contact and made sure to provide me with regular updates regarding materials and expected deadlines. No question was ever too hard to answer or inadequate.
From start to finish every person I dealt with during the building process was professional, friendly and approachable which made the whole process very enjoyable.
Daniel, Danica and Alistair are fantastic to deal with. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back to build with them and Easystart in the future.

A very satisfied customer living in a quality home built by Summit Homes
Shawn Lewis made it happen within a year from first meeting him to moving in. Nothing was too difficult. From Adam Farrall the in-house broker working to help with securing a loan and ensuring a financially sound decision was made; through to the great design, quality fittings and excellent pre-start process we were off an going before we knew it.
The level of service from Adam Farrall was so good and his ability to get results that I've recommended him to several friends and they have become his clients.

An exciting time in my life made even more enjoyable
Every part of the planning and building process has been a joy. My consultant Daniel has been exceptional. He is fantastic with availability and communication and worked so hard to problem solve with me so that I could get the house design I wanted. This also meant that my disappointment over local council red tape and outdated regulations was mitigated by appreciation for his efforts and care. Prestart support by Holly was also fantastic, her communication was quick, courteous and thorough. She also spent the time finding answers to the many questions and requests I had.
While I am so looking forward to the completion of my house, this journey has really been defined by the care Summit Homes gives to their clients.

Excellent assistance
As disappointed as we were by the Brokers and Pre Start meeting we were very amaze with the services provided by the consultant. We would like to give a big shout out to Daniel Lewis. He was the man that has supported us from phase 1 up to completion of the house. Very easy to deal with and had to endure our frustration through out the whole process. He was available whenever I need him (even on Sunday night and late evening).
I will definitely go back to Daniel for my next house.
Regarding the build quality, a big shout to John Rees. He has ...Read more
done a great and quality job to the house. He was very supportive and was quick to answer any queries. We will definitely want him for our next build. Overall feedback for Easy Start: Very good company to deal with. Improvement needed on communicating to first home buyers and mainly migrants like us as we don't know the process in Australia. In Pre Start meeting i will suggest to anyone to verify every single choice in the addendum written by the girls and don't let the girl decide for you.1 comment

Amazing team
I was a bit hesitant at building being a young single mum but Easy start eased my worries. Was so much easier and more affordable than I thought it would be. My consultant was Daniel and he was so easy to talk to. No matter what the issue was he found a way to deal with it. If it was anything he could help with he would still follow it up to see if it had been resolved. Cerys was by contracts administrator and Jamie was my building supervisor. I had a few hurdles that came up but with the help of the whole team we always overcame them. Now here I am in my new home! The service didn't stop once the house was built. Had an issue a few weeks after moving in and it still got sorted by the team over at Easy Start. Absolutely amazing service.
