About to go to site and so happy! From the start our Consultant Daniel Lewis has been readily available to answer all of my 300 daily questions that I have repeatedly thrown at him and put my mind at ease each time. He got us to the finish line despite us not thinking we would get there multiple times due to personal circumstances, so his dedication to helping people get into their own home is top notch. Gary, Maxine and Rachel (our Mortgage Brokers at Westgate Finance) have been fantastic, super friendly and incredibly thorough making sure not...Read more

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

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.
The contracts provided by Shawn were c...Read more

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

The sales and design process was amazingly exciting and easy. Our sales guy, Shaun, did an amazing job. He managed to get us the home, we desired in the a great area and in budget. We had lots of requests, upgrades and changes we wanted. Shaun made it all happen.Shaun went above and beyond to help us with finance process and always answer my calls when we had questions.
Working with Shaun was the simplest part of the whole process.

Prestart was a very quick process. The building process was good. We have 3 building managers during our build....Read more

We’re very happy to built a house with Easy start (Summit Homes)
First of all I would like to thank Daniel Lewis who help us to find a right land of our choice. Even though I was headache for him sometimes, but he didn’t give up. Thank you for supporting me in all stages from land to the last paper of building contract.
We got best building supervisor John Rees. He never gave us any hassle through the process. Our house lease is finishing, as Daniel and John advice me they will make sure I will get keys before lease finishes. I am very happy ...Read more

We are just entering to the construction stage of our first home with SUMMIT (Easy Start) and the service received from the day 1 was exceptional. Our consultant, Daniel Lewis guided us through the process making it really easy for us as first homebuyers. Treated us always as his first priority, reachable any time, very helpful and professional. He was happy to meet us after hours and weekends to take us through to see few lands options and display homes without a hesitation. We were happy with the first land option he showed us and it was perf...Read more

The whole experience had its ups and downs. We found that our consultant was great very helpful and always had time to chat and answer questions when we called and was flexible enough to meet at times that were good for us. Our pre start consultant was good very helpful in the pre start selection process however after that we had a little trouble with a few poorly worded emails however was redeemed when a state of urgency was needed for some final documents. The finance team were amazing and very helpful and always available when needed. And...Read more

In my personal experience, I have found EasyStart to be awful.

Aside from the lack of inclusions that other building companies offer, the staff were personable but the standard of the property was genuinely disgusting. I posted photos of the hand over, which have coincidentally been removed from Facebook after receiving over 30 messages pertaining to the standards.

I picked my keys up from the office (not the property, the window treatments were not even installed when I did a walk through wit my builder supervisor) and when arriving at my pr...Read more

I made the decision to purchase my own home last year, after far too many years of renting. After much researching, I decided to build rather than buy existing as it promises to be a wiser investment for a first home owner (better Bang for Buck).

After shortlisting and visiting a few reputable building companies, I walked into my local Easystart Showroom and was greeted by New Homes Consultant Daniel Lewis. Daniel is a fountain of knowledge, and just an all round top bloke. I was impressed by his knowledge of the industry, and that he wasn't...Read more

We built our house (our second build) through easy start one of summits off-shoots (every person we dealt with was summit though). Our house was highly modified from the original plan due to the gradient and layout of the land and the biggest thing.

My biggest thing was how Summit/Easy start dealt with variations to the plans. Addition often came with a huge price tag (excess 50-90% markup) and every reduction on the contract seemed underwhelming. A couple of examples were i decided to do the tiling myself. For a 86m2 worth i was credited ~$...Read more

All those involved in the office and other trades
Thank you for being the best.
You have helped my family of 5 build our very first home.
Being working young parents of 3 young kids it's pretty crazy but you have made the process so smooth, stress free and easy!
As first home builders we never knew how the process worked. Shawn was there to answer every call and email to help get us what we wanted. Our finance took a whole year to sort. We had our heart set on the perfect lot. S...Read more
