Amazing home
When I first walked into the Gallery display home, I was approached by a well presented and professional sales consultant. I initially thought it would be another pressuring sales pitch for a home out of my budget. I instantly loved the display home full of natural light, excellent finishes and loads of storage options. Rebecca the sales consultant works super hard to design the home to meet your needs, understands budgets and working within them and has an incredible knowledge of the construction process. Rebecca spent a lot of time going over...
Read more the process and does what ever she can to make the process easy. Hardest working sales consultant I’ve seen. Gallery’s standard selections are above many other buildings, leaving you not disappointed when it comes to selections. Most standard selections from gallery are expensive upgrades with other builders Jeremy the construction supervisor has an exceptional level of knowledge of your entire build process, is happy to talk through any concerns and is always ontop of what’s happening when you ring him. He works and finishes homes to an exceptionally high standard and makes you feel comfortable during the construction process. Very minor issues with the entire construction process. Absolutely incredible home and service. Jeremy and Rebecca are incredible to work with. Thankyou so much for the support and helping turn a house into a home. Incredible builder, quality home highly recommended!- Customer Service

Designed for your individual needs.
We have a long, thin, triangular property which called for careful planning. We wanted the main rooms to face north capturing the winter sun and the view. (Pointing towards the narrower end of the property). The sales/design person was not at all phased by these challenges and understood what we wanted. We also liked the idea of having a coat nook and media hub and these were immediately included. Lots of cupboards were added, without having to ask (to save my back) and many other changes to the basic design.
Basically:- great designs wit...

Simple and easy, our dream home!!
After wondering through a lot of the same and similar style display homes, we eventually walked through a Gallery Living Home and were instantly in love. The Miro range was exactly what we were looking for, the natural light, the openess of the spaces and most importantly energy efficient! Our Consultant Rebecca was fantastic to work with, her knowledge of the product and ways to implement our design needs was outstanding. We were also on a budget and Rebecca was honest and straight up with costs and never pushy. In the end we got everything we wanted in the home and couldn't be happier. I'd absolutely recommend Gallery Living and Rebecca to everyone.

They built our dream home!
After moving to South Australia to settle down we never thought we would end up building our dream home but after looking at a few estates we knew building was right for us! Despite some minor nerves, after talking with a few companies we decided to build with Gallery Living due to their uniqueness. We loved the idea of not having a traditional brick house, the use of different materials and especially how they use natural light. We especially loved contributing ideas to the overall design of our house and it’s layout.
Initial consult
We were...
Read more quite specific with what we wanted in terms of design and functionality, and our initial consult with Chris was low stress. Chris was very knowledgable, down to earth, honest and listened to our needs and was happy to make adjustments/alternations where necessary. Build Our head builder Richard and his team were hard working and honest. Any questions we had during the build process were always happy to be answered. Just before handover at the walkthrough Richard was extremely thorough, asking us to put tape on anything that didn’t look right and needed immediate touch up or fixing. As he said ‘the more tape the better’, so we walked throughout and around the whole house marking with tape anything that needed attention before handover.- Customer Service

Very happy with Gallery Living. Would use them again in a shot.
We had what we think was a dream run with Gallery Living. We'd actually signed on with a different builder initially (Rendition Homes, highly unrecommended, their initial quote was $X, then we signed on, paid a deposit, and their final quote was $X + $10,000, and they couldn't identify why it had gone up so much, so we walked away from them). Gallery Living itemised the cost of every last thing in the build and Chris, our designer, was an absolutely amazing fellow. So passionate about what he did, he tweaked things until we were perfectly happy...
Read more with it, and found ways to shave of a bit of money here and there as well. Then our building supervisor, Jeremy, was also fantastic. Managed the build so well, sent us regular photos and updates of what would be happening next and when. Very happy with the finish of the house and love living here. We would absolutely recommend Gallery Living to others and would use them again ourselves.- Customer Service

Loving our Gallery Living home!
What a positive experience with Gallery Living. We visited the display at Aspire and fell in love. The thing we liked the most was that the Gallery home designs were different. We didn't just want plain old bricks and mortar an couldn't walk away without talking to the sales consultant. This is where we met Jade and our journey began. We can't speak highly enough of Jade, from initial discussions right the way through to completion she has been there with us every step of the way. Jade got us, she worked with us to design a floorplan that...
Read more not only suited us but also our budget. Jade's design knowledge and guidance really helped us get the house we dreamed of and we couldn't and probably wouldn't have it if wasn't for her. Once construction had started we were kept well informed by Jon our build supervisor, we made what he probably thinks a million calls to him but he was able to reassure us and answer all questions or concerns we may have had in a timely manner. It is also worth noting that the trades used during the build were excellent as well. We visited the site almost daily when the build started and all of the trades were welcoming, polite and happy to explain what was going on. The final build costs were as estimated, there were a few issues encountered along the way (out of the builders hands, council to blame) but overall the cost of the build was maintained to almost the dollar (actually it was in our favour) which was a relief to us. Once we finally got to handover day, walking through our new home was exciting. The workmanship of the home is excellent and we have since had many trades comment on how straight the walls, slabs and the quality of the paintwork etc are. We have had many people comment on the how well the different materials used looks. We wanted something different and we got exactly what we asked for. Couldn't be happier. Would we recommend Gallery Living? You bet we would, in fact because of this positive experience we are already considering another build. Thanks to Jade, Jon and the team at Gallery for bringing our home to life.- Build StagePost-Construction

Stand out of our street
We were seeking a custom floor plan and sick of other builders not being flexible with design.
Then we found Gallery Living.
We are so happy with our beautiful home. It was designed with to be eco-friendly, with function, the environment and style a top priority.
Our floor plan has such a natural flow to our home, all who visit compliment how accessible it is.
If you want to stand out from the crowd and are after a truly unique home, we recommend Gallery Living.
Our street is full of black bricked, black roofed houses - we stand out with a neutral palette, individualized style and architectural features you will find standard in all Gallery Living homes.

Looking forward to living without the footprint!
After visiting many companies to look for the right builder, we chose Gallery on many factors. Firstly, it's different! After a while a lot of homes start to look the same, Gallery do not. We loved the finishes, very good quality as standard, the design and the consultant! (Not pushy but helpful)
We wanted a specific design in mind for our build and our consultant Russell, listened and made suggestions the enhanced our ideas. The end result is a home that feels spacious, easy to live in and meets all our needs as a family.
We had a lot of ums and ahhs about certain aspects, and Russell was patience and considerate to helping us decide.
We love our new home and the smooth journey to get it. Thanks Russell and team.

Love my modified Picasso 215
As this was the first time that I had built a home I was repeatedly told by others how stressful it would be. I did not find this the case at all, in fact quite the opposite. While I initially found the Gallery Living floor plan that ticked all my boxes the overall floor area was too big for my needs, as I was downsizing. Bronywn was able to reduce the overall floor area while retaining all the features that I loved in the original design. Thank you Bronwyn! During the build John, the Site Supervisor, responded promptly to all my calls and it w...

Fantastic North Facing Modified Picasso - Couldn't be happier
From the first time visiting Bronwyn in the display home, Gallery Living really showed attention to detail bringing our vision to a reality. We chose Gallery as the Picasso matched the basic layout we were after for our North facing block.
Working with Bronwyn through many iterations to get the plan just right to our requirements was nothing short of a pleasure. Bronwyn's enthusiasm for house design really showed and her advice was invaluable in providing us with an energy efficient, comfortable and practical house. We are absolutely ecstatic ...

Dream home becomes reality through good communications.
Throughout the whole process from kicking tyres to finished product the professionalism and communications of the staff never faltered. Our home is now built and we moved in two weeks ago and we could not be happier.
Having lived on site for the entirety of the build, we know the attention to detail that the tradies put in. The work of our site manager to keep things moving along and on track even through some severe weather events shows his desire to see good outcomes for the home owners.
The last few bits and pieces are being fixed fixed ...

This is just the Best House, the Best Service and the Best Company to do business with
I could not find what I wanted, where I wanted, so I decided to build another house, you would of thought I had enough of that after the my earlier experiences building. So off we went around to the display homes looking for ideas and a builder.
The first builder was too expensive, the second was too cheap and nasty, but Gallery Living was just right (sounds like a fairy tale).
Seriously we went to one builder where the salesman told us how good he was and that he could design anything for us and he would call us next week, well we are st...
Read moreill waiting for the phone call. Their name ends in [name removed]. Then there was a another company with a Japanese name that took 4 months to get back to us and the best they could do is send me an email. Given the amount of money a house costs you would think they would give you more than an email, but no. maybe that is why they are no longer building homes in Adelaide. But it wasn't all a nightmare and this story does have a happy ending, we discovered Gallery Living and Bronwyn Aldridge. Gallery Living was different from the moment that we walked into the display home, the sales rep Bronwyn Aldridge was on our wavelength right away, she listened to us and worked with our request to come up with a design that worked, and if she didn't know she just said so and found out nothing was to much effort. Then there was Russell, smart and knowledgeable about all the eco aspects of the housing which was important to me. Andrew the building supervisor was just superb very quiet but on the ball and always near by keeping an eye on the house. The tradies were all friendly, polite and hard working, and every single one of them kept the site absolutely clean. The final product is amazing a simply stunning house, a truly unique and beautiful home that both stands out and blends into the surrounding area at the same time. This company did not just take your money and walk away they were there all the time from start to finish.- 25 reviews

2 years on and still happy!
We moved into our GL home (our first home no less!) about 2 years ago now but are still enjoying and excited with our house. Our block was 14m wide across the front narrowing down to 8m at the back but very long, so we couldn't really use an "off the shelf" plan. But our salesperson was excellent and tailored a plan to our site and needs. We were really impressed by her honesty and thoughtfulness in suggesting design elements we hadn't even thought of but now love. We went through the the same process simultaneously with another popular (brick)...
Read more home builder but kept coming back to the GL design; the combination of Hebel, Colourbond and other cladding materials, along with the use of lots of really well placed windows, made for such a light, airy but very energy efficient house. The building process itself was smooth and only took around 5 months start to finish (Christmas extended this timeframe somewhat). Our site supervisor, Jim, was also very helpful and was happy to arrange people even to come back and fix niggly little things well after we'd moved in. But in the time we've now been in the house we really haven't had anything go amiss at all. There were no major issues with GL in the process but we did find a few things a little frustrating along the way. We felt the whole selections process was a little basic and "unprofessional" compared to some friends' experiences with their building companies (in terms of the quality, flexibility and thought/planning of the process). We also found the council approval stage a little frustrating; we were prepared for the length of time but found the lady who managed the approvals at GL a little defensive and lacking in communication (I think she felt we were criticising her when we were actually just wanting an update). These are small things though and overall we are very happy with our whole build process with GL and our house now is everything we wanted! Great designs, helpful sales staff and building supervisor, very competitive on price. Slightly frustrating selections process aside, nothing really!Very satisfied customers
Like many other reviewers of Gallery Living we found our building experience to be trouble free and very enjoyable. The only issue we had was building through a very wet winter but even that was managed extremely well by the site supervisor Andrew Obst and the various trades.
After six months living in our new home, which is a variation of the Monet, I am still amazed that we were able to fit such a spacious energy efficient home on a courtyard block.

Read more new home. The process was made so much easier working with Russell Slater on our design. As mentioned by others Russell had the ability to interpret our requirements for the plan and improve on our suggestions, always with patience and an obvious desire to deliver exactly what we wanted. We found the various contractors working on the job to be very professional, communicative and pleasant to deal with and the end result is a very attractive energy efficient home. In fact we are so pleased with this project we are now consulting with Russell to build another home for our retirement. We have every confidence that we will again be delighted with the home built by Gallery Living.Questions & Answers
My husband and I are interested in building with GL but have noticed that the ‘finish’ of the display homes is lacking. We are wondering what people have experienced regarding the build, finish and durability of the gallery living home you’ve built - both short and long term.
To those who are now living in a gallery living home, how are you finding heating and cooling costs? Given the larger windows in these designs, do you find it costs more to air condition in summer and heat in winter? Any positives or negatives you could provide would be appreciate thanks.
We've only been in a short time plus we added solar when we did not have it before. All our windows are double glazed except some louvres so I hope it should be reasonably good.
