Englehart Homes

Two 'wow' houses ! – We chose Englehart to build two houses for us after demolishing our family home. We chose Englehart because of their reputation for excellence and they did not disappoint. We also chose Englehart because we wanted to build with a reputable company that we would be able to rely on until completion. All I can say is that our houses are exceptional… Read more

in every way. They really have the 'wow' factor and we can not be more excited about our dream homes. Robbie was absolutely brilliant the whole way through, supporting us at all times, always taking and responding to calls promptly, responding with care and attention to every question we had. Gerald, our site manager is a perfectionist and takes incredible care to manage every little detail of the building process and we were very fortunate to have him manage our project. We built through covid and Englehart managed everything so well in such a difficult season. I always say the litmus test is would we build with Englehart again, and the answer is a resounding yes! We would recommend Englehart to anyone, and my brother and his wife have already made the decision to build with Englehart.

This is very nice – We have had a very enjoyable experience with Englehart right from the start of designing and throughout the construction process. Although going through the challenges of the pandemic and restricted travel to view the progress in person, we were kept up to date during the process and the home has been built with quality and attention to detail.… Read more

The team are very experienced in the industry and have always offered good advice on the construction, special thanks to Laurie and Robbie. I would recommend Englehart to anyone looking for a quality custom builder.

Ideal Builder for your next Dream House! – I engaged Englehart Homes to construct my new dream house and they have absolutely delivered the job to the highest quality. What really amazes me is Englehart delivery team's professionalism and quick responsiveness when unexpected issues occurred on site. Constructing a new house through COVID is not an easy task and we walked into few supplier… Read more

shortage issues, but Engleharthome is able to work around those unexpected calls from suppliers and still provide the best alternatives to meet our original design intent. I think that's something that truly separates Engleharthomes from other builders. Unexpected things will occur, but they are always on the client's side, looking after the client and they are effective in identifying work arounds. We also encountered some complicated council coordination during the build. Englehart's team took on the challenge and was able to resolve those council comments very quickly and effectively. I would highly recommend Engleharthome's service to anyone who is seriously thinking about building their next dream house. It's been a great ride.

High quality and not disappointed – Having recently made our permanent move to Australia we purchased a block of land in Toorak to build our dream home for our future. Having looked at numerous options including engaging an architect, we selected Englehart Homes to design a significant multi-level home with basement. They came highly recommended and I am pleased to say have provided… Read more

a complete high-quality service, from design through to construction and landscaping. And we have not been disappointed. Every element of the project has been carefully considered and designed. Throughout the process they have provided excellent communication including in our native Mandarin language as necessary. The result is a home that has greatly improved the value of our property. We will enjoy this home for many years to come.

just love it – We are very happy that we made the decision to build our dream home through Englehart Homes. Throughout the whole process from first meeting to completion the staff were very patient and explained clearly everything to us and were always reachable. Our very steep block created loads of difficult and challenging jobs. We have now ended up… Read more

with a very beautiful home that has completely satisfied us.

We thank everyone at Englehart included in this job;

Kit and Tao

Highly Recommended – First of all, I would like to thank your Company and all your staff involved in building my home. From the first meeting, it was a really happy co-operation experience including the site check, sketch design, all the contract documentation, building construction through to handover, I deeply feel that your staff were so enthusiastic and… Read more

professional.

In 2020, the Coronavirus broke out all over the world, which threatened the health to people and affected the working environment to people in all the countries. Despite such circumstance, your company still guaranteed the construction progress and timing which was a hard-won achievement.

Although based overseas through the videos and photos, I have seen my dream house being built with meticulous design and excellent workmanship. So thank you all again to the staff who put effort into it!

Dream house built by Engelhart! Art piece design and quality! – Our home is a neoclassical and French provincial style. We really love the facade design. When we were planning to build a home like this, we visited many newly built French provincial houses in Melbourne but had never seen a design like ours. The houses that we viewed looked very similar and seemed to lack something. We became aware of an… Read more

Englehart Home at the famous ‘Monomeath Avenue, Canterbury’. The pure white looking facade caught my attention immediately and the design of the facade including piers, mouldings make the house so unique and elegant. Every element is perfectly constructed and makes it seamlessly beautiful. I can say there is no design like this in Melbourne. I decided to have Englehart Homes build our new home in this unique style. Both my husband and myself trust Englehart very much. We wanted to build a house but we wanted to make it perfect like an art piece that we will love and enjoy living in every day. Our new home is now almost at handover, the whole process has met our expectations. The facade design is what we really want and love. The quality of the house is first class. The workmanship is excellent. The construction period is well ahead of schedule. The Project Manager Gerald and the Englehart team have done a great job saving building time and ensuring the highest quality of work. From my experience dealing with Englehart Homes, this is a very fair and most trustworthy builder. If you want to build an art piece quality home and are not sure which builder to use, we can honestly tell you to speak to Ron Englehart. Englehart is the one that will save your time searching and comparing. You can stop here and start the dream design and build.

We're in love with our new Home – I wish to offer my unreserved endorsement of the outstanding craftsmanship and personal service provided by the Englehart team in building our outstanding home. From concept development to hand over your service and advise has been exemplary with attention to detail and regular communication the hallmark of the way you do your business. The home… Read more

is both stylish and substantial with great integrity invested in the detail. A great example of this, which we love, is that the expansive kitchen, with its butler’s pantry, alongside the dining and living areas which is effectively doubled in size by the adjoining loggia, seamlessly integrating the indoor and outdoor space.

We find the house visually striking and functional and consistent with our belief in excellence and quality.

We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Englehart homes to our family and friends.

Overall happy with my new house – After 21 months of construction of my house by Englehart. We finally get what we want, Thanks you. Even we have to wait few months extra , I still think it worthwhile for waiting until they finish the project properly. During that period, we are working closely with our supervisor Laurie, he is always helpful and working together with us to resolve issues. Overall we are happy with Englehart Show details ·  1

Nothing but thanks – Upon deciding to build a new home we made enquiries with a number of people within the real estate industry and others. The Englehart name was always highly recommended for their quality of workmanship and home designs. Having visited the Englehart La Provence display home we were impressed with the quality of materials, attention to detail and… Read more

workmanship which acted as a starting point for briefing the Englehart architect on our requirements.

From the initial sketch plan through to the hand-over of our completed home the Englehart team were always professional in meeting their commitments and satisfying our expectations.

We will have no hesitation in recommending Englehart Homes to friends or anyone wanting to build a high quality home with a builder that meets their commitments.

Great Builder – First time building a new home and am very happy with the whole process and the result. Workmanship is top quality. Communication was excellent throughout the construction and suggestions along the way made it even better. Professional help with colour and finishes was always available. The whole process was very easy and hassle free. I would recommend Englehart to anyone wanting a quality product.  Show details

Final product with a great finish! – After closely working with Englehart for two years, we moved into our beautiful contemporary style home last year. We are so glad that we went with Englehart, the overall experience has been very pleasant. EXPERTISE Early in the process, we sat with Englehart's architect to design the home that meets our requirements. We were fascinated with… Read more

the way all of our requirements were met and the usage of spaces are optimised.

The management team advised us with the design choices and options that are suitable for the overall style of the home while considering our budget requirements. The building industry experience that the management team brings to the table is exceptional and provided a solution for every challenge.

The selections consultant helped us with choosing appropriate fittings and colour scheme at various stages of construction. Englehart is very flexible and allows variations to contract.

SERVICE

During construction, the management team was always accessible and informed us with the progress at every stage and on a weekly basis. They made us feel comfortable throughout the construction.

PRODUCT

Englehart management team is passionate and take pride in delivering premium products for their customers. My wife and I were overwhelmed with their commitment to deliver the promised product. The suppliers they engage are best in industry and are very professional.

Prior to the handover process, the construction manager and the project manager together spent a significant amount of time working on minor items. My wife and I were really impressed with the way the final inspection was conducted and defects were rectified.

After the handover, the Maintenance Supervisor organized trades people to attend to a few pending items including tuning the sensors, changing the globes, etc.

In summary, Ron Englehart and his team delivered a premium product that our whole family loves dearly. We have experienced their great professionalism, passion, and expertise and customer service first hand - we know where to go for building our next house.

We highly recommend Englehart to anyone that is considering to build a lovely home.

Simply A Beautiful Home – We purchased our sloping block over 10 years ago and found most builders were reluctant to take on the challenge. However, we looked into Englehart Homes, who have a sound reputation for building on sloping blocks and thankfully, they were more than happy to take on the project. Our house was an architecturally designed, “turn-key” project, with… Read more

some of the interior design based on Englehart’s “City House” display home. We loved the airy, contemporary design that the team at Englehart Homes came up with. Our project team was extremely knowledgeable and very accessible throughout the process. In particular, we were so pleased to have Jim & Dave Cooper working on our build. Ron Englehart was also happy to personally take our calls to discuss any queries or matters that arose. Once building began, we were constantly updated regarding its progress, and when any difficulties were encountered (as was to be expected with a sloping block), we were immediately notified and the issue resolved with minimal fuss.

Eight years later, we still love the house as much now, as we did when we first moved in. The quality of the work carried out is absolute top shelf. From the huge retaining walls, to the swimming pool, the landscaping, and to the interior design and internal finishes....everything is amazing. We’ve lost count of the number of times visitors, or various tradesmen have walked in for the first time and said; “wow...beautiful house”.

Even though it’s been eight years, we still remain in close contact with Ron and his team (notably Dave & Craig) at Englehart Homes. They are always on hand to consult on maintenance issues & recommend trades should problems arise. It's very apparent that Ron takes great pride in every home that has the Englehart name attached to it.

We confidently recommend Englehart Homes to anyone considering building a house, because for us; not only did they build a beautiful house...they built a beautiful home.

Just what the doctor ordered – We chose Englehart home builders because we has seen a number of their homes when driving around our area. We inspected the Saville in North Balwyn and it had the detail, quality and size that we were looking for. We came to the meeting with the architect with a few ideas and an open mind. The initial drawings gave us a good starting point but… Read more

over the next 12 months we adjusted and honed them into the home that we wanted. We were greatly helped by the Englehart team throughout this process.

Once the build began we were projected managed by Mark Mancuso from start to the finish. He provided at least weekly feedback and always answered our calls and emails. It could have been a stressful experience but in hindsight it was a smooth experience and the attention to detail at all stages was as we expected.

The building, from foundations up was well constructed and has a solid feel often missing from new homes these days.

There was no compromise to quality and this must be attributed to the experienced tradesmen employed to do the work.

Through our project manager we were able to pass on all our queries, thoughts and ideas to the team of experienced experts at the head office. Sage advice was often given by the onsite tradesmen when small changes needed to be done.

We have been in our new home for about five weeks and we are very happy with the outcome. Every day I marvel at some new observation and we are extremely satisfied with the end result.

To share our experience – I'd like to share my experience of working with Lucas Morris Homes in building our family house in Melbourne for people looking for a good builder. Lucas Morris is best known for quality but working with any builder over 12-14 months is a long journey and better prepared people can expect the right outcome. First, Lucas Morris is part of the… Read more

Englehart Group, a high quality boutique builder in the eastern Melbourne area. Its reputation is built over the years and is a symbol of trust. This gives some comfort and insurance for people like me who have never built a house before. If people make a difference, I'd like to confirm in this case that the Lucas Morris Homes people meet their commitments. Ron Englehart is the owner of the company and he is always willing to meet you and discuss how he can help you. Ron's lovely wife is an interior designer whom we also sought advice on colours, type of material, even furniture. For instance, tile selection is something critical for the home as once decided it will be there for many years. We brought marble samples for her advice and we are very happy with the choice. Jim is the operations head, a shrewd and decisive leader who helps to address difficult situations. He is reliable and pragmatic. Warren and Lyall are the construction and project focal point and they have been friendly while working with us throughout the project and meeting on a weekly basis. Very good people to work with. Second, Quality. The builder has a collection of carefully selected contractors who have worked for years with Englehart resulting in standout quality and detailing that met my expectations. Costs is another important topic. Cost does not come cheap. My only advice is to invest on the key items. Way of working. When the home was finished I could reflect on things that I may approach differently which is only normal. So it is helpful to talk to people who have built houses before. Finally, a piece of information and advice for overseas/Chinese speaking families who are mostly successful businessmen in China. The way they operate is 70% familiar and 30% new or different from what we used to. Ask enough questions so you understand how to achieve the best result. Ron has hired a couple of Chinese speaking technical staff to support their Chinese clients which is of great assistance. They have operated this way for many years and has been successful, their business is booming... Bottomline is, moving into my new home 3 weeks ago, I think all the hard work and money is worth it. With this experience and knowledge, I am happy to share with those who are starting a new home and have no hesitation in recommending Lucas Morris Homes to you.

No Regrets – TO ENGLEHART OFFICE: Please do not remove any NAMES or SECTIONS of our review. Would we build with Englehart again? Were there problems? Did it take longer than expected? Was it expensive? Was it worth it? The one word answer to all the questions above is ‘DEFINITELY’. It has been just over 12 months since we’ve moved into our newly built… Read more

home, and we are absolutely loving the finished product. We are so glad we went with Englehart as the whole process for us was considered to be relatively stressed free (and we’re considered by our friends to be stressed out people!). Don’t get us wrong though, there were things that went wrong!

CHOOSING A BUILDER

Our block of land is on a slope that is more than 2 metres hence we had to find a customised builder. After meeting with a few builders, we settled on Englehart as they were the only ones who asked specific questions about our design/house requirements. Never once did they asked what we do as a living to estimate what we can afford. We are very private people hence never liked questions that were not related to the build.

DESIGN

The first issue we had was the design that was presented to us. It did not meet our requirements and the architect they had did not to contribute much to our needs and wants. Hence we hired our own architect who came up with the foot print and design of our house that we were happy with. We then brought the foot print to Englehart for the build quotation. The Operation Manager, Jim Cooper and Construction Manager, Warren Cockshutt, who are both extremely experienced (more so than the design team), then build upon our architect’s design from the beginning AND during the whole process to give us our home.

CONTRACT/PRICING

The contract was very detailed. It contained all the specs, drawings and items that we had selected. It also had all the costings and they were set out clearly. We tried to ‘fix’ as many costings as possible (aka Firm Price) so that we wouldn’t be surprised at the end. There were obviously certain items that could not be determined such as excavation, stormwater drains etc and these had Provisional Sum allowances. With these Provisional Sums, Englehart credited back the amount that was not used in the final bill.

BUILD PROCESS

As our home was considered to be a complicated build, 455 days were given for them to start and finish the build. Englehart took much longer and we believe it’s because we had 5 different Project Managers on our job. With the number of personnel changes, information had to be relayed multiple times and there were times that information given was not passed on (from one Project Manager to the next). This contributed to extra time required to have things rectified. The only consistent personnel on our project was Warren and Jim. If there was another Warren and Jim, our house would have been build much faster. Nevertheless, Warren took over our project and became our final Project Manager. Both Jim and Warren made suggestions about certain changes/improvements during the build to ensure our home has a much better feel and look. All their suggestions were at our best interest, and not considered to be ‘money making’ suggestions.

Even when the 455 days were up, Warren did not push the project to a faster pace. Instead, he ensured that the right tradesmen were used and that the work done were up to his standard (or Englehart’s standard). On the occasions when we inspected the home, we can see that the Englehart tradesmen take great pride in their work. We would considered them to be extremely meticulous eg. painter, tiler.

We were informed that there would be weekly updates but due to the number of Project Managers we had, there were times we didn’t hear about the build for about 3-4 weeks. When this occurred, we contacted the Project Manager and when the Project Manager did not respond, Jim/Warren would respond and address to our issues personally quickly and promptly.

In addition, everything that was to be done/changed, was documented and had to have our approval prior the work being carried out.

For peace of mind, we also had our own independent building inspector to inspect the build whenever a stage was completed. Englehart had no issues in accommodating our inspector and requested that the inspector sent them his report so that they can address any items immediately. Warren even marked out all the tiny imperfections that needed attention when our inspector came for the final time. This made our building inspector’s job much easier. With the final report from the inspector, Warren ensured that all items were addressed promptly before hand over. All items noted were quite minor.

PAYMENT

An invoice would be issue at the completion of a build stage. This caused some stress for us as the first invoice sent, was just before Christmas and we had to pay it within 7 days. To add to this, we received the invoice via postal mail, it was a day before Christmas. As we did not want to be up for any penalties, we contacted Englehart immediately but their main office was closed. We were able to get in touch with Vince (Sales Manager) who then assured us that no penalties would be applied especially being the Christmas/New Year’s period. From then onwards, we requested that invoices be emailed rather than sent via postal mail to ensure it is received promptly. Englehart complied. They emailed AND postal mailed all documents to us.

Inevitably, we also wanted some additions/changes (VARIATIONS) during the build. Please note that whenever a ‘Variation’ is raised by us, a fee is applied to each of these. This fee we were told during the contract signing, is ‘more for those’ who keep changing their minds. With the limited number of variations we had, the total Variations’ ‘fee’ was noted on our final bill but considered waived if we were to provide a product review. This is an area that we believe should be more clear cut during contract signing and not be contradicted verbally by senior management.

On a positive note, Englehart did not treat us as an ‘open cheque book’ once the contract was signed. Never once did they ask us for more money. Any additional amount paid was due to the ‘Variations’ we had requested ie. extra oven, extra sink.

Englehart also paid us the penalty for the extra time taken to build our home. There were no arguments or confrontations when we met with the Finance Manager. This was due to the detailed documentation process they had.

AFTER HAND-OVER

In the past 12 months, as the house settled, there were minor issues that needed fixing. Eventhough we have paid for everything, Warren and the Maintenance Manager, Craig Cummings, have always attended to the issues promptly. When a tradesman/contractor is involved, we have always received calls from Englehart to ensure that they have contacted us and that the issue have been addressed. Unfortunately though the tradies are not as prompt to respond as they were prior to hand-over. This is an area that could be improved to continue the excellent service Englehart is known for.

In conclusion, despite all the issues we’ve experienced, we would build with Englehart again. We would definitely want Jim and Warren to be on our project for their experience and honesty. We absolutely love the quality of our home and we don’t feel like we need to go away as our home feels like a holiday home too. It was one of our biggest investment but definitely money well spent.

Exceeded our expectations – After our extensive research and visiting other luxury custom display homes, family and friends strongly recommended Ron Englehart and his company. When we walked through the Saville display home in North Balwyn we saw the quality and design format of our dream home. No pressure, good honest advice, Englehart Homes was the clear stand out! The… Read more

sales team knew their product having building and interior design backgrounds which helped us through what could have been a very daunting process. The Operations Manager with his personable manner, extensive experience and broad knowledge listened carefully to our ideas. With his technical knowledge he guided us appropriately incorporating our concept to create our high quality custom built home. Our Project Manager could not be faulted, communicating honestly and happy to take our calls or returning them promptly. They have highly skilled tradesmen which was reflected in the finished product. The well organised administration staff were a pleasure to deal with and always courteous.

A united team focused on producing the best product for their clients. They guided us through to the end result, explaining the process and allaying any anxiety. We have absolutely no reservations in recommending Englehart Homes. They made us feel like we were their only customers!

This was our first building project. People say, “you have to have built 3 times before you get it right." That wasn’t our experience, we have no regrets because with their guidance Englehart Homes built our perfect dream home.

Project completed late 2015.

Margaret and Redmond

We made a good choice – Bill and Romona We were already living in Balwyn North and decided to replace our old house for a new more functional home that would be age friendly into our retirement years. In 2011 we started looking at the many builders and their display homes on Belmore Road. One home that stood out for us was the Englehart Saville display home. It was… Read more

evident that quality, practicality and attention to detail were a feature of the Saville.

We approached a number of people who had homes built by Englehart, the main comments were: Englehart, a good local builder with their main office in Kew East, known for quality builds, and most importantly, good after sales service. On that basis we decided on Englehart as our builder.

The Saville model had to be adapted to work in with the slope of our land; it became a double story front and single story back of the house, with a triple car port and granny flat under the house and driveway up the side to the back of the house.

Due to the changes required to accommodate the sloping land and our specific age friendly design changes, there were many meetings during the planning stage with the architect, sales staff and contract administration, all went well with no problems. Ron Englehart sat in on some of the meetings, providing his advice and expertise which was thoughtful based on the needs we had expressed for our particular build. Much of his advice was adopted and proved worthwhile. For us, Ron’s personal interest in our project gave us confidence and reassurance that our expectations of a trouble free build would be met. That certainly proved to be the case.

It’s been two and one half years since moving into our new home, and we have not been disappointed. Indeed, the Englehart reputation must be getting known, as presently there are two Englehart houses being built in our street. Suffice to say, after the excitement of moving in, and the shininess of it all wears off, the true test of a superior build is in how it looks today, two and a half years on. Good quality workmanship and quality materials have proven their worth as the property still looks as good as the day we moved in, and bodes well for the years ahead. In the few instances where we needed some after sales assistance, true to form, this was duly met no fuss or bother. We now have a comfortable, functional and beautiful home that will last and suit us for years to come, and we thank the team at Englehart for making this happen.

Highly Recommended for Quality, Professionalism and Integrity – Following the completion of two custom built homes in Camberwell, Englehart Homes have my highest commendation, praise and recommendation. The finished product is so much more than what we expected or hoped for, and was delivered on time. Having interviewed a number of builders over a lengthy period of time and not feeling entirely comfortable… Read more

or at peace with those interviewed, it was recommended that we see Englehart Homes, noting that our objective was dealing with a builder who is honest, professional and reliable to produce a premium product without taking shortcuts.

From the outset, the sales manager was honest and transparent. I asked several questions which was answered with clarity and if he didn’t feel an issue could be addressed to my satisfaction immediately, he would say so, and work to find a solution, including liaising and working with council and town planners. There were also several meetings prior to signing the contract, where my wife and I would meet with the operations team to discuss details surrounding any potential construction – he would always attend these meetings. He would pick up his phone when I called, or if he was unavailable, he would get back to me within the same day…note, this also included AFTER the contract was signed and deposit paid.

Prior to construction commencing, Ron Englehart (together with the sales manager) met with us personally, to provide his assurance that a premium product will be delivered on time. Ron dealt with any final questions we had and provided us with his personal contact details to call at any time if there were any issues. This meeting prior to construction commencing, provided us with that final, additional reassurance that we had indeed chosen a group who valued their clients, and placed a strong emphasis on professionalism and delivering a quality product on time.

Throughout construction, the project manager ensured he would meet with us on site on a weekly to fortnightly basis to ensure that we were comfortable with progress, and discuss items worthy for discussion. These were the formal scheduled meetings yet, as with the sales manager, the project manager would pick up his phone when called, or call back within a timely manner if he wasn’t available. I would also speak with the engineering/ operations manager regularly. Together, these guys were brilliant. They always found solutions to any issues which presented along the way and demonstrated patience and composure, with a superb level of expertise. This expertise is why the project was delivered on time.

Finally, the focus Englehart has on delivering a premium product is evidenced by the extent of the final inspection/review conducted by the operations team before handover. Small alterations which I would not have been concerned with are identified as being less than perfect and rectified immediately before handover. My wife and I were surprised, yet extremely impressed, as to the level of detail that is applied by the operations team when performing this final inspection.

In summary, Englehart Homes have demonstrated the highest levels of integrity, professionalism and expertise in delivering a premium home on time. Englehart homes was recommended to me for this reason, and I am extremely grateful for that recommendation. Our next build, which we are already discussing, will be through Englehart Homes - we feel we have found our builder for life.

Highly recommend Englehart Homes – We have now been living in our new Englehart Home for 10 months and thought it would now be appropriate to comment on our experience from the initial consultation to after care service since handover. Our first interaction with Englehart homes was at their 'Saville' display home in Belmore road, North Balwyn. After inspecting several other display… Read more

homes in the area, we were immediately impressed with the quality of workmanship and attention to detail. We engaged Englehart homes as we wanted a quality built home.

The design process commenced and we were impressed with our interactions with the Englehart team. They considered all of our needs and encouraged us to provide them with as many design details as we could about what we considered to be important to us. Admittedly, the whole design process took quite a long time but in the end it was worth it because there were minimal design alterations and variations hence saving us some money. In the end, Englehart produced a design within our budget and that met our design brief.

The building process was generally very smooth. Apart from some initial unforeseen site costs due to a very challenging block, the build was completed on time and on budget. The tradesmen employed were professionals and experienced. It was clearly evident that Englehart homes has access to quality trades and don't cut corners by employing persons that cannot met their quality assurance processes. The site supervisor was pleasant to deal with and kept us informed of the progress of the build, inviting our feedback as required. The supervisor always answered any questions or concerns that we had and encouraged several on site meeting with various trades including tilers, electricians and cabinet makers to discuss various options available.

Two weeks prior to handover, I met with the construction manager and supervisor to inspect the home. As we walked through the home, I was impressed at the tiny details that the construction manager was picking up on including minor paint imperfections and surface scratches. Every detail and item identified was documented and rectified prior to handover. Credits were provided for works that came in under budget and only a couple of items incurred a variation cost even though we ended up with about 150 (which I am rod is quite low).

Upon moving into our home, we have had a couple of minor issues. All of these were addressed immediately, with no fuss and no charge. The construction manager was outstanding in his service and attitude. I would have absolutely have no hesitation in recommending Englehart Homes to my family and friends. Quality finishes, excellent trades, open and transparent interactions, attention to detail. Excellent after care service.

We love our new home! – We built a custom home with Englehart Homes and we are delighted with the results. The process from design to build was relatively hassle-free. Englehart addressed any issues that did arise in a prompt and professional manner. Any changes we requested throughout the build were accommodated and contract revisions were issued to ensure… Read more

clarity. There were no additional or hidden costs that took us by surprise, and in fact we were given a number of credits if they had over estimated the cost of particular jobs

We have been living in our new Englehart home for nearly three months. We do have a few minor things that need to be fixed and we have complete confidence that they will be addressed when we notify them.

Our overall impression of Englehart Homes is they are client focused, taking pride in their product and reputation. They are a luxury homebuilder therefore they are not cheap but you get what you pay for. The construction quality of our house is excellent.

We would recommend Englehart Homes to anyone looking at building.

Our Englehart Home – In April 2001 our new home was handed over to us by Mr. Ron Englehart. Our project was handed over very professionally by Ron and his team and we found at all times there was Staff available to assist with our questions and variations etc. We have now lived in our home for 13 years and have never required maintenance of any kind due to … Read more

Confident and so far so good – Having recently relocated from China to Melbourne and purchased a block of land in Balwyn we investigated the various options for our new home. We finally selected Englehart Homes as their design and build services met the needs of our Family’s new home requirements. Our research found that Englehart Homes reputation for building luxury… Read more

individually designed homes and meeting commitments gave us the confidence to employ them. The Architect design concept, continual updating of cost outcomes and considering every detail carefully was very professional.

Based on the dealings with the Sales Staff, Architect, Contract Administration staff and Ron Englehart’s involvement at critical stages resulted in being very confident that our expectations will be met at handover.

We look forward to the construction stage where we have the confidence of being assured that the quality and attention to detail displayed in their La Provence Display Home will be the guaranteed outcome at handover. Well-organized, meticulous, attention to details

A long but very worthwhile process – We built a home with Englehart homes and have been quite pleased overall with their service, attention to detail and the final product. It was a long journey but we felt supported by Englehart throughout the process, especially the long planning process. We were especially happy with our project manager [name removed] whose attention to detail… Read more

was exceptional. He was well organised and always communicated with us. It also meant we could go about our daily business without having to be on site everyday as we had confidence in the project manager being on site and sorting things out.

We are glad the house has finally been built and it was well worth the wait.

We highly recommend Englehart as their quality is definitely superior. This shows in all the fittings and is evident through the house.

Englehart were also able to provide solutions for the drainage problems we encountered.

Their aftercare service has been good so far. Professional, with good warranty service

A well built Home with attention to detail – We engaged Englehart homes to design and build for us a substantially sized house on a sloped block. We had several meetings with Englehart technical representatives during the design period whilst we moulded the house design to suit our preferences. During this period Englehart staff were very helpful in providing lots of ideas, detailed… Read more

costings, and amended drawings. Once the building contract was signed, Englehart were quickly on our site to commence building excavations. As the house building progressed there were those unforseen amendments that needed to be done, and again we had the support of the Englehart team to make these changes happen without a lot of fuss.

We found Englehart to be cooperative, and highly professional in their attitude and dealing with us, and if we had a problem we were always able to get onto the building supervisor, or someone higher up to get a quick satisfactory resolution. The house is now completed and we are the proud owners of a house which stands out due to its high standard of finish and appearance. We would certainly recommend Englehart homes to anyone wanting a reliable builder, who provides value for your house dollar. They delivered on their promises.

Could not have been happier – Dealing with the Englehart people in the planning, construction and post construction phases has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience. They were able to convert our vision into a high quality house which perfectly accommodates our needs and at the same time minimized the inherent problems and maximized the inherent advantages of a steeply… Read more

sloping site. The workmanship and finishes are first class and we could not be happier with the result. The tradesmen used were excellent. Attention to detail and preparedness to have us involved closely in the process. Also getting everything specified at the start meant that we knew what we would be paying subject to variations which, in the main, we initiated. Nothing so far as we were concerned; the planning process was lengthy but that was the natural result of our involvement.
