Couldn’t be happier with my experience with H&L Victoria. They built such an amazing home for me and I’m honestly so grateful for everything they did along the way. The whole process felt so much easier thanks to their patience, support, and flexibility, especially with all my changes. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and they really… Read more · 1
worked with me to get everything just right. I will be forever grateful for Lyle in the sales team who was just incredible in every way possible.
So appreciative of the effort, care, and quality that went into my home. I absolutely love it and couldn’t recommend them enough.
Would def recommend H&L. Colin if you happen to read this, you are a star. Your kindness, support and patience explaining things every step of the way was very much appreciated. Amy and Jayne, thanks for the updates and facilitating appointments and paperwork ( calls and emails), would have been lost without you. You are great at what you do, don't forget that.

From a very first contact and enquiry Erin was absolutely amazing, she took time to answer any questions we had,the communication was great and always responded promptly. Erin gave suggestions that we can see now worked really well. If she was not there and as the building progressed we worked with other team members, Jayne and Amy. The whole team… Read more · 1
is amazing and helpful. Our house turned up really good and we are very happy with final product. During construction period, building company had a portal where we could see all the scheduled work and were informed via email when work is completed. We were able scheduled inspection with site supervisor. There was no additional cost involved.
Great and smooth experience – We went with H&L Victoria for our second investment property as this was in different state to were we live. Lyle Dean gem person, he helped us packaged turnkey solution which required no further follow up till handover. In times when build period are extending to year and more our got done under 7months, I was quite impressed. During build… Read more · 1

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Experience, Excellent Service, and Phenomenal Results! Our journey with H&L Victoria and Escape Homes has been nothing short of amazing!

enjoyable. She took the time to understand our needs and helped us secure a house and land package that perfectly fit our budget. Her knowledge, transparency, and dedication were truly impressive.
The Escape Homes supervisor, Billy was truly exceptional! Escape Homes professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication ensured a smooth building process from start to finish. They were always approachable, responsive, and proactive in addressing any concerns, making the entire experience stress-free. Thanks to their expertise, our home was completed to the highest standards. We truly appreciate their hard work and commitment to excellence!
The build process with Escape Homes was fantastic. Their attention to detail, quality craftsmanship, and commitment to delivering on time exceeded our expectations. The end result? A beautifully built home that we absolutely love!

Excellent Service – The sales consultant (Kelly Silm) at H & L Victoria was very approachable and knowledgeable. She gave us the time and bandwidth to decide what we want and was happy to go backward and forward multiple times to accomodate our requestes with the plans. Kelly's suggestions were very valuable and she called out where she saw issues with what we were… Read more · 1
doing, and how that could impact the overall picture. That helped us a lot in adjusting and coming back on track where we needed to, to make sure the theme of our house remained intact.
We signed up a 'turn-key' package for our Investment property. I must say the standard inclusions were super impressive and exceeded our expectation.
Apart from a lenghty delay with pre-construction work, the rest of the journey was fairly smooth given the circumstances. The build was completed by 3D Constructions. My supervisior and builder Danny Velvevski and Natasha were amaizing and provided us regular updates. Danny's attention to detail is second to none. We are super impressed with the workmanship of the trades engaged and extremely happy to see the final result.
Thank you Kelly, Danny and Natasha for being part of our wonderful journey.
I strongly recommend H & L Vicotria to anyone wanting to build.
Really helpful and flexible – My experience with this build was great! Colin was able to walk me through the whole process pretty comfortably and was always open to work with me to accomodate the best outcomes for the build. Can not rate Colin high enough. I did not feel any pressure from the outset, communication despite material shortages was great, I felt informed all… Read more · 1
through and overall pricing was very transparent. Nothing but honesty from Colin.
The site supervisor was also great, super chill and was open to fixing what I identified needed to be rectified very quickly! The overall quality of the build has been good, I’m yet to notice anything majorly wrong, most items matches what was signed and the finishing seems pretty clean.
As with every build though there were some little bits to iron out in terms of defects and variations missed, but these haven’t been too much of an issue so far and they will come back to amend the items
Overall I’ve really enjoyed this build. Thank you,

H&L Victoria were incredibly professional and helpful in the process of my build. Not only were they always available, they were upfront and resourceful. The build was managed effectively, and the team were supportive throughout the process. The Team at H&L Victoria made the process of building easy and I am very happy with the way everything turned out. If you are building, please consider a H&L Victoria Build. Show details · 1
I approached H&L with a strict budget and some very specific design requirements and from the moment I started talking with H&L, my experience was smooth and stress free. The H&L team were easy to talk to, prompt to get back to me and made one of the biggest financial decisions to be a relatively easy and stress free experience. H&L's fixed cost… Read more · 1
meant that amount I signed up for at the start was the amount paid at the end. There were absolutely no issues from the moment I first contacted H&L to now when I am living in my home. I couldn't recommend H&L anymore that I already do.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have had H&L and Escape Homes as part of my first home building journey. A very special thanks to Shweta, who was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. From helping us identify and choose the perfect block of land to guiding us in selecting the right floor plan, her advice was invaluable. She was always… Read more · 1
approachable and made us feel completely at ease, ensuring that every step of the process was understood. Additionally, her thoughtful recommendations on which basic upgrades were worth considering have proven immensely beneficial. Shweta’s professionalism, experience, and warm approach truly enhanced our journey, making it smooth and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide during this important milestone in our lives.
Thank you H&L, Escape Homes and Shweta !

What a disaster of 3 years and it still is not over – H&L are only here to sell you what you want but cannot deliver and will leave you in limbo with no assistance as they are too busy trying to sell more 'dreams' to be people. They are willing to pass the buck and never actually have true honest conversations, but they will attempt to comfort you in knowing 'you are not the only ones', isn't that… Read more
nice? All their clients are displaced with no outcomes so don't stress. If you treasure you mental health do not sign with H&L or their building associate Escape Homes because you will regret it and they will take the joy out the process.
Avoid using this company! – Please avoid this company, when things go wrong with the builders they are no where to be seen. I signed a contract with them in May 2021, build time was supposed to be 260 days. Obviously with COVID you would expect delays but this is extreme. When I asked H & L Victoria for their help I was told there’s nothing they can do and I can honestly… Read more
say I have not heard from anyone at H & L Victoria for months. No where to be seen while their customers are being bullied by the builders. If your looking for great customer service, look elsewhere. H & L Victoria provide no customer service. Worst service I’ve ever received, avoid this company and their builders, escape homes. I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through the nightmare I’ve been going through for the last 18 months.

Starts off well but ends badly – Decided to build our home through H&L and had wonderful service and support initially. Once the build contract was signed, we heard from them when they wanted a contract extension or when they stuffed up the plans several times and delayed our building permit and when they pushed for us to spend extra $$$ on a steel frame because it would speed… Read more
up the process because of timber shortages. We are now 19 months post signing the contract and only have a frame. H & L will no longer speak to us in regards to the ongoing delays and handballed us to the builder, Escape Homes, who are well named as they only give vague and often wrong updates, and should be avoided at all cost.

Great value add – Erin King is a gem who is not shy to go above & beyond to help throughout the journey.

I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE – These guys were great to deal with and I'm so glad I decided to go with them instead of a big volume builder. Very honest and patient and the sales consultant took the time to explain everything to me and show me what I was getting for my money. The best bit was getting to look through a house just being finished brand new instead of having to… Read more · 1
look at a display with heaps and heaps of upgrades you don't get. The sales consultant and admin team kept in touch right until the end and came to the handover with me just like they said they would. I work in a service role myself so I love when I get good service and also a great build. I got both with H&L and Escape. Thanks guys
