Very glad we stumbled across Fairhaven Homes when looking for a builder who would maximise the potential of our narrow (12.5m wide) block. We chose the Tathra 30 design which was absolutely the best trade-off for size, layout, features etc, whilst maximising backyard space. We are coming up to 8 months in our home and have so far had a great… Read more · 1
experience. The customer service officers who worked on our build were knowledgeable and accommodating. Our site supervisor was a gun and got the job done super quickly (began June, moved in start of November). He rectified issues during the build (eg missed insulation, standard stuff that can happen during a build - he literally got them to remove the plaster board that was put in, add the insulation, and re-plaster. Others who had built with other builders were surprised they did this and expected we would simply be reimbursed). We’ve just had our warranty check - no issues having them come back and fix the issues and the team they used were great (so efficient and friendly). All issues sorted now (minor too, mind you - we had a great build).
Higher up, I received a call post-survey just to ask about our experience. They genuinely cared about how we felt the build went and the finished product. They want you to be happy with your home.
Very happy in our home!

Amazing customer service – I'm really impressed with the service provided by Henry - new home consultant. He guided me through the initial steps of this process really well, explained everything and answered my questions without leaving any doubts. Also, he is very approachable - which I appreciate the most :) Thanks Henry! Show details · 1
Exceptional Knockdown Rebuild Experience – Fairhaven's CRO services on our home build has been exemplary. We had two CROs Natalie and Tegan, appointed to our project, the first having to leave on a maternity break. Both CROs were beyond words awesome in their efforts to bring our home build project to life. We have been in great hands through out our build project. Natalie and Tegan have… Read more · 1
been attentive to our concerns and super proactive in coming up with resolutions. They have been the pillars of strength we constantly leaned on throughout our Council woes (Council related delays in getting our permits). Fairhaven have been understanding and supportive enabling extensions for our price lock that we greatly appreciated and literally holding our hands through every council hiccup.
Now the build has started and we have met with our site supervisor who is again also very warm and understanding. I am not sure how Fairhaven does it or how they find such a strong and capable workforce. But they have done it and done it exceptionally well. They are definitely industry leaders in the home build sector with their boutique and exquisite homes.
Thank you so much Fairhaven.

Grateful for our beautiful home – Our experience with Fairhaven has been positive throughout each stage of the build process. We have just completed our 6 month warranty check and I have waited purposely to give this review, so it can be an accurate representation of our experience. We encountered some minor issues along the journey as one would expect, (with any build) however,… Read more · 1
our amazing site supervisor (SS) was prompt to address our concerns and rectify any issue. Our SS and CRO kept us informed and up to date throughout each stage and answered all our questions . On Monday, we had the General Manager and our SS visit our home for our 6 month warranty check. All the Fairhaven staff conducted themselves professionally with a customer centric focus from start to finish. I would encourage anyone to make their own Fairhaven experience like we did. We would build with Fairhaven again without hesitation. Thank you to our site supervisor for being so dedicated and for being someone that really cared and listened to us each time we contacted him or in person. He allowed time for us to walk through our home whenever we wished without resistance. Thank you for our beautiful home , we love our Hyland design , we love our facade and all the personal touches adding our touches have made it our home. Thank you Fairhaven team for your flexibility and honesty during this process.
Best possible outcome for my home – Excellent coordination, communication, and quality of work, and the company delivered a very nice home. It was a very pleasant relationship throughout the process and the company kept to the time lines agreed. Show details · 1
Exceptional Experience with Our First Home Build – Finding a builder was the hardest part of our journey as first-time homeowners. However, we had an outstanding experience with Fairhaven Homes.

Our site supervisor,… Read more · 1
Blake, was incredibly knowledgeable, and promptly addressing our concerns and keeping us informed about potential delays and issues.
Fairhaven Homes’ team was responsive from the initial consultation through to project completion, with clear and prompt communication that kept us involved every step of the way.
Their attention to detail and commitment to finishing the home ahead of schedule exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a builder who is reliable, responsive and completes projects on schedule, look no further than Fairhaven Homes. We couldn't be happier with the results and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.
Previously have given fairhaven multiple 5 stat ratings, they were rated during the building process when they say and do all all the right things. It turns out once the house is finished they stop caring. Been in contact with their warrenty department for about a year now over TWO faulty shower bases. Neither one has been fixed yet, they have… Read more
sent 3 people to look and not once supplied any tiles to actually get it fixed. (Had to take off work each time) Have another issue with cornices falling down, thats been fixed around 2 months ago but they still havent sent a painter out to complete the job. So far not impressed. Save yourself the drama and dont build.

Rosie M. - Regional Sales Specialist - Mt Atkinson As first home buyers building under the 5% First Home Guarantee scheme, the process of finalizing a build contract alongside a land contract is stressful, tight deadlines, complex finance conditions, and countless decisions in a very short window. What makes our experience remarkable is that… Read more · 1
Fairhaven wasn't on our shortlist. We had been engaging with several other builders for months, and Fairhaven was initially just a passing inquiry. But from the very first conversation, Rosie at the Mt Atkinson office changed that entirely.
I ask a lot of questions & changes, detailed ones about specifications, contract terms, site conditions, and inclusions. Where other consultants would deflect or take days to respond, Rosie accommodated every single one without hesitation. She never made us feel like a burden. If she didn't have the answer on the spot, she went and found it, properly. It was that extra attention, that consistent willingness to go above and beyond on anything and everything, that made us progress to the next stage. Without it, we simply would not have signed with Fairhaven. In an industry where so many sales interactions feel transactional, Rosie brought a level of care that genuinely shaped our decision.
This review covers the sales stage only, we'll update as we move through the build. But if you're visiting Mt Atkinson, ask for Rosie. She's the reason we're building with Fairhaven.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review for Fairhaven Homes – Sales Agent Sal (Oakleigh) I recently returned to Fairhaven Homes for another project, and once again I had the pleasure of working with Sal at the Oakleigh display centre. From the moment I walked in, he was incredibly patient and attentive. He took the time to walk me through every detail of the… Read more · 1
design and the process — even the things most people probably wouldn’t ask about. I had quite a few technical and specific questions, and he answered every single one clearly and without rushing me.
As a returning customer, I really appreciated how Sal went out of his way to accommodate my needs. He genuinely tried his best to explore every possible option for me, including any eligible discounts or upgrades that could make the package work better. It never felt transactional; he came across as someone who truly cares about matching you with the right home and making sure you feel confident in your choices.
If you’re considering Fairhaven Homes or simply like their designs, I highly recommend visiting the Oakleigh display home. I’m confident Sal will take great care of you just as he did for me.
Negative Star Experience - Definitely worth a read before deciding on Fairhaven Homes. 10+ YEARS OF WARRANTY HELL!!! 160+ maintenance items still ongoing and 60+ maintenance days. Due to severe maintenance on 2 occasions, my family and I were forced out of our new home, Fairhaven Homes did not care and left us on the streets for 4 nights. … Read more
Endless meetings with Maintenance Managers, 2nd In Charge, letters to Director, Conciliation, DBDRV, now forced into VCAT, as this is our only option to get warranty items repaired and contact paid variations actually installed.
Please save yourself the trouble, do not build with Fairhaven Homes and choose a more professional builder.
This is our second time building and we wish we choose our first builder.
If you have had building issues with Fairhaven Homes, this is where you can leave your honest constructive feedback and it will not be deleted by Fairhaven Homes.
LETTER OF DEMAND My solicitor advise to send a letter of demand and invoice requesting payment involving the outstanding warranty works as a last hope of Fairhaven Homes complying with their warranty obligations. Fairhaven Homes confirmed receipt of this letter on the 31st of August 2021. Fairhaven Homes had 4 weeks to respond…. Still nothing today, so we are now forced to go to VCAT.
• BACKROUND Our house was built by Fairhaven Homes at a cost of around $300,000. My family and I moved into our new house in Pakenham just before Christmas on the 18/12/2014. Throughout an extremely lengthy building journey over 14 months I advised Fairhaven Homes with countless number of errors. During inspections I had advised Fairhaven Homes Supervisor [Name Removed], on a several major errors, some were still not resolved for the hand over and some are still not resolved today.
My father M, is a builder and he had completed a building inspection on our previous house we built resulting in only a few minor defects. M, attended our address in Pakenham before hand over to complete a building inspection report along with my wife and myself. Unfortunately this time resulting in a below standard quality house with a 3 page list of over 100+ items, we were extremely disappointed.
During hand over with Fairhaven Homes Supervisor [Name Removed], my wife and I provided D, with our building inspection 3 page list 100+ items. [Name Removed], stated he would add these items to the hand over list and deliver the updated version to us before Christmas. On Christmas Eve 2014, we had still not received the updated hand over list from [Name Removed], we were now having doubts in believing [Name Removed], that all these items would be fixed and I signed a statutory declaration stating the above.
One of our most concerning maintenance item was our smoke alarms were faulty. The self-test did not work and they self-activated at random times which was very disturbing especially during the night for my family and even for our neighbours. After Fairhaven Homes neglect I was forced to disconnect them myself, replace them with standard battery smoke alarms until they eventually got fixed several months later. I am sure you can imagine what it was like when the smoke alarms activated and our young children screaming, running to us continually in the night for months. Fairhaven Homes appeared not to care at all about my family's lives.
To date Fairhaven Homes have still not provided us with the PCI (Practical Completion Inspection Report) or the Fairhaven Homes Independent Building Inspection report, in which I believe this speaks for itself, that are even more faults I am not aware of. My family has been put through hell, 150 plus maintenance items over 7+ years. Forced out of our own home on two separate occasions for two days each time because the house was unliveable due to paint fumes and wet paint, Fairhaven Homes did nothing and did not care about my family.
In 2015 on the first inspection from Fairhaven Homes Inspector [Name Removed], stated this is the longest maintenance list he has ever written down 8 pages, the worst house hand over house he has ever seen in his career, he was very embarrassed and apologised on serval occasions throughout the maintenance works. On one of the maintenance days a tradie [Name Removed], stated I think there are 8 different trades here today guys, this is like renovation rumble on TV and laughed out loud. My wife and I unfortunately did not see the funny side but I can understand his comment because the house was a mess with people everywhere and we just let the comment go.
Due to Fairhaven Homes maintenance I have lost approximately 50 plus days (I lost count) with my family which I will never get back and taken time off work required to be present each day with several more to come. I was required at home as each trade requested for me to show them the works, explain best options, approve and sign off. This became a part time job for myself, involving countless hours of stress, anxiety, depression and loss of sleep. Fairhaven Homes have clearly failed to provide a finished house and did not complete all maintenance items within the contract time frame after hand over.
• CONCILIATION I have attempted to resolve all 32 outstanding items in dispute with Fairhaven Homes unsuccessfully. I really just wanted to move on and not deal with Fairhaven Homes anymore. In an attempt to resolve these 32 items, I decided on the 10 most important items to my family and progressed through to conciliation. The other 22 maintenance items I am disappointed with but will just have to live with, due to a high estimated cost in repairs in which I can not afford and are willing just to let them go so we can both move on.
On the 15/11/2018 at conciliation both parties resolved 9 out of the 10 items. Unfortunately item number 8 this being the bath tub was not resolved. To assist in resolving the dispute at the time of conciliation I offered to pay half the cost, in which Fairhaven Homes rejected. This offer is no longer available to Fairhaven Homes. The conciliator informed me the dispute was not resolved resulting in all items not resolved and I was provided with a certificate of Dispute Not Resolved.
• AFTER CONCILIATION Since conciliation Fairhaven Homes has carried out more maintenance completing 7 out of 10 items, leaving 3 items unresolved. To their credit they have also carried out further new warranty maintenance items that have not been added on my to do list.
Due to Fairhaven Homes neglect with maintenance items over 7+ years, with my to do list I have repaired and paid for another separate 37 items with the invoice ongoing but currently totalling into the thousands.
I am here today requesting the following payment: 3 lots of works to be carried out, bathroom, kitchen and toilets with totalling $17,950.
• BATHROOM WORKS This is our second time building, I am 190cm tall, during the selection stage we requested the longest bath possible which was a length of 1700mm and paid for the upgrade at a cost of $65. The standard bath was 1530mm in length.
During 2014 at a building inspection with Fairhaven Homes Supervisor [Name Removed], my wife and I observed the delivered bath tub sitting in the front living room downstairs looked to small. I measured this with my tape measure and I believed it was too small at 1530mm. We advised [Name Removed], of the error and [Name Removed], stated he would see what he can do. As [Name Removed], had done nothing to fix any of the other previous errors that I had bought to his attention. I rang the manufacture myself who advised there are two options with this Decina Uno bath length, 1530mm standard or upgrade at a cost of around $32 to the larger bath length to 1700mm, if I paid $65 for the upgrade to Fairhaven Homes it would be the 1700mm bath. This resulting in Fairhaven Homes with over 100% mark up on the product upgrade. I then advised [Name Removed], of the bath was too small and instructed him not to install the bath. To our surprise the small bath got installed. Over the next 7+ years Fairhaven Homes has provided a plethora of excuses to date.
During 2018 at one of many maintenance meetings over the years at our home with my wife, Fairhaven Homes Manager [Name Removed], advised that Fairhaven Homes now actually records the bath length onto the house drawings and into the contract. I am glad to see that Fairhaven Homes have learnt from their mistakes but I find it extremely disappointing they are still not willing to fix them.
Contract page 146 APPLIANCES AND FITTINGS Section: 22.2 Bathrooms Provide acrylic baths and tiled insitu shower bases. Polymarble or acrylic showers bases are house specific. Refer to List of Standard Inclusions or the Tender Document.
Contract page 68 STANDARD INCLUSIONS Section: Bathroom 1500/1650mm acrylic bathtub. Bath size is design specific – refer to plans.
Contact page 49 VARIATION LIST Section: Plumbing Fixtures 15.2 Provide Decina Uno Bath to Bathroom in lieu of standard Bath $65. Note: The length of the bath is not recorded in the contract.
House Drawings UPPER FLOOR PLAN Section: Bathroom Bath tub states selected bath. (It is not blank and does not state standard bath.) Note: The length of the bath is also not recorded in the drawings. All measurements are correct on the drawing with a scale of 1mm:100cm The shower base states 0.9 meter, if I take the measurement using a multirule, it measure to 9mm = 900mm. If I measure the bath, it measures to 17mm = 1700mm.
Maintenance Notice Maintenance List 20/07/15 Reference 11616 Page 3 Item number 31 Find out what spec the bath is / size etc. Fairhaven Homes was aware but had never placed it on the Maintenance List until I requested it 20/07/15.
Decina.com.au Uno Bath 1530mm $461.08 Or upgrade for an extra $32.80 to Uno Bath 1700mm $493.88
Bathroom Works Conclusion We selected the longest bath at a length of 1700mm and paid $65 for the upgrade of this bath. We identified that the incorrect bath had been delivered. I confirmed this with the manufacture, advised Fairhaven Homes Supervisor [Name Removed], on site that the incorrect bath that was delivered and not to install it but the incorrect bath still got installed. The length of the bath is not recorded in the contract or on the drawings. When the bath is measured on the drawings to the specified scale it is 1700mm in length. Fairhaven Homes has not made any offers in an attempt to resolve this issue.
• KITCHEN WORKS The kitchen sink does not sit flush and leaves a gap all the way around the sink. The gap is large enough for food to keep getting stuck underneath, in between the sink and the kitchen bench. These food items are required to be removed with a tool before turning mouldy. Water also leaks through this gap, under the sink into the cupboards.
Fairhaven Maintenance During 2015 maintenance attended, attempted to fit the original required amount of sink clamps but advised they could not fit the required number of clamps due to the sink not sitting flush enough. They also observed the dents around the sink stating that it looks like it the sink was forced in. The sink clamps that could be fitted made no difference and the sink remained not flush.
During all the maintenance inspections over the years, I heard lots of different excuses form several Fairhaven Homes staff members. The dents come like that from factory. You’ll get used to it. Doesn’t the misses clean anyway.
Handover List Section: Kitchen Sink clamps missing, sink not sitting flush.
Maintenance Notice Maintenance List 31/03/15 Reference 11537 Page 5 Item number 44 Investigate the dents to the kitchen sink.
Conciliation At conciliation Fairhaven homes agree to replace the kitchen sink. The original sink was no longer available so we viewed a similar sink, agreed for it to be installed and it was delivered. The sink has not been installed to date.
Sink Installation Fairhaven Homes plumber attends to replace the sink and unfortunately the new sink does not fit. We ask the plumber for an explanation. He stated that the sinks are the same size but the issue is the beach top, it has not been cut large enough for the sink to fit. He then further explained to us the new sink and old sink are no different in sizes and places the new sink into the cut out. He then showed us and explained the new sink overhangs by around 10 to 15mm length and width. On the existing sink the fitting tags underneath do not bend around far enough for the sink to fit correctly with the clamps due to the small cut out in the benchtop. He then took a photo of the overhang and advised us needed to call his boss. The plumber then advised us he has been instructed not to fit the new sink because he will damage it and the kitchen bench needs to be cut before installation for the sink to fit correctly. He asked what date did we move in. I told him Christmas week. He stated the plumber was probably told just to make it fit as it is a busy time of year. He then fitted the old sink, apologised and left.
In the following days a maintenance member attended and requested to take the new sink. I was bit confused as we had no phone calls or emails in relation to an update with the kitchen sink issue. I advised him that I had not heard anything from Fairhaven Homes in relation to this and asked for an explanation. He stated that they are a few issues and he needed to take the sink. I advised him the sink is actually in my possession but if Fairhaven Homes is that concerned about a $150 sink they can have it. Fairhaven Homes refused to inform us any further about the sink and a new sink has never been installed.
Kitchen Bench With Fairhaven Homes not providing us with any further details as to why they are not installing the kitchen sink, we decided to make some enquires into different size sinks and or getting the kitchen bench cut to the correct size. We could not locate any sinks to fit correctly into the existing kitchen bench cut out. We contacted VBG the benchtop installation company used by Fairhaven Homes for our benchtop. A VBG staff member attended our home for an assessment, he advised us they can not cut bench tops on site due to silica which is a material similar to asbestos and all cutting is off site at the factory under strict safety conditions. They do not remove cut and re-install bench tops. We would require a new bench top but it would not be the same colour as the remaining sections of our bench and with no guarantee it will sit correctly or match up with existing benchtops. VBG recommend we would require all new bench tops to be installed in the kitchen.
Quantum Quartz Silica Dust Information This material is known to cause cancer and have links to other diseases. No cutting, polishing, grinding or drilling of these materials should be carried out at the installation premises.
Kitchen Bench Crack There has been a small crack in the kitchen benchtop since handover but Fairhaven Homes maintenance advised on 10 year warranty and to consider fixing it at a later date due to all the 100+ works already being carried out. This crack has now expanded over the years. VBG attended and provided a report which resulted in the bench not covered under warranty due to a heavy force onto the benchtop. I believe this crack may have been caused by the sink being forced in and or trades tools being placed on our benchtop during maintenance works over the years.
VBG Report Cracked Benchtop From previous experience on these matters we believe that this issue was caused by someone accidently placing a hot item or a heavy force onto the benchtop, hence causing the damage.
Kitchen Works Conclusion The kitchen benchtop cut out is too small to fit the sink in correctly. The existing sink was damaged being forced in and it does not sit correctly. VBG advised they will not cut benchtop on site due to silica dust. VBG’s report indicates someone accidently placing heavy force onto the benchtop, hence causing the crack. I believe Fairhaven Homes now realise about their error with the kitchen benchtop cut out being too small and the large costs involved in repairing it. This is why they have not provided any explanation to date for not fitting the kitchen sink and have still not provided a copy of the photo taken by the plumber as requested. Fairhaven Homes has not made any offers in an attempt to resolve this issue.
• TOILET WORKS All 3 toilet seats we faulty from manufacture, they cracked and broke. Fairhaven Homes replaced all three toilet seats. During installation the replacement toilet seats a maintenance member stated these are the manufacture replacement toilet seats. I advised him that they looked to small and like a cheap plastic seats. Our original toilet seats were solid, larger and heavy. As there was no other option the replacement toilet seats were installed. The toilet seats are that small when you sit down it feels small like a child’s toilet seat. Fairhaven Homes manager MP attended to investigate and stated that the toilet seats are too small, you can still see the outside of the toilet bowl when the lid is shut and it does feel small when you sit on it. At the time a very similar toilet seat was available at Bunnings for $20.
Toilet Works Conclusion I understand that the existing toilet seats are allegedly the manufacture replacements but the fact remains these toilet seats are too small, are a loose fit and are breaking. During conciliation Fairhaven Homes made an offer of $100 Bunnings voucher in an attempt to resolve this issue. I accepted this offer at conciliation but due to the median cost of toilet seats at Bunnings around $65 for one I have now realised it was only enough to cover the cost for one and are rejecting the offer as the entire dispute was marked as not resolved DBDRV. (Domestic Building Dispute Resolution Victoria)
COMMENTS The most disappointing thing was some comments from Fairhaven Homes manager MP, which involved our window restrictors. The window restrictors were never installed and Fairhaven Homes took 4 years to install them. On installation A&L windows confirmed the window restrictors had never been installed because they are screwed in and there are no previous indications of this and questioned how the house passed an occupancy permit without them. During the delay I installed alternative cheaper options for the safety of my family. After 4 years MP stated that I must have taken them out because the house would not have passed the occupancy permit without them and then stated the same comment again during the conciliation conference. This was a real low blow questioning my integrity as an emergency service worker. I am still extremely disappointed with these comments from MP. Why would I take them out and place my family’s lives risk with a 1, 4 and 6 year old in a double story house and then pay for some while waiting for Fairhaven Homes? I expect an apology from Fairhaven Homes and or MP for these disrespectful comments.
2025 After 10+ years with multiple items still outstanding, it’s time to express our concerns, Fairhaven Homes - NEVER AGAIN!
