Couldn't have asked for anyone better -Knowledgeable & helpful
While we were searching for land and a home package, we considered ourselves extremely lucky to be able to find Richard. He understood our needs and offered us a solution and suburb name that no others could. He was not pushy and always responded promptly to our enquiries. It has been a smooth process, from sorting out Finance super quickly ( shout out to Dillion) to slab down so far. We are confident and hopeful that we will receive the key in time.
Show detailsComplete Professionals and Absolute Masters of Building!
I can't recommend Home Buyers enough, we have had the absolute best journey through pre-construction with everyone of the team going above and beyond for our build!! All members of this team have done more than just step up, with Richard Wetterhahn providing us more years of experience than I think he has even been alive! An absolute gun in building. Eilish Pound then supported our journey through pre-construction with nothing but honesty, kindness and full attentiveness to anything we needed! Fiona Zadnik stepped us perfectly through the selections process and knew exactly what we needed to complete our beautiful design. Honestly, nothing but impressed. Thank you all!!

My partner and I were very lucky coming across Desire! She’s been so helpful with the process as it is our first home. So glad we have her helping us.
Show detailsWonderful, personal service
From the get go, Richard Wetterhahn was fantastic. Having never built before, it was all quite overwhelming. However, he made the process clear and easy to follow. After making my choice, I dealt with Robyn Fahy. Her professionalism and kind, patient demeanour made me feel comfortable and at ease. Unfortunately, circumstances out of our control arose while I was overseas attending a funeral. Both Richard and Robyn were so wonderful with their compassion and understanding, but what really made my day, was that they told me not to worry and that they'd sort everything out for me. I can't tell you how grateful I was, and how touched I was that they'd gone above and beyond what any other company would've. Sharon

Homebuyers Centre are the people to go with
From Whoa to go Homebuyers have kept in touch with me about everything. Where the build is up to, what will happen next, any delays etc. Any concerns I had were addressed immediately. Big shout out to Jo who was with me on prestart day where I had to choose all the colours, tiles etc. I was so nervous about making a mistake! She relaxed me and validated my choices and the style I was after, her experience and gorgeous personality helped me so much. AND it all turned out exactly as I had envisioned. Cora and Despina were delightful to wor

I had an amazing experience with Homebuyers and have and will again recommended them to anyone wanting to build their home.Excellent Pre-sales and lovely Pre-construction team
Everything was of top standard. My New Homes Consultant is Jake Hickey . I am so happy that Jake took my original enquiry and guided me through to get to Pre-construction stage. To find a land to build on to suit my preferences is just very difficult. It seems magic on how he made this happen especially in the tough market we are in at the moment. When Jake took me to the site on where the land would be, I was sold in the first few moments already. I was amazed by how he understood my needs and wants during our chats and translated it as

So greatest thanks to you Jake for getting me to the Pre-construction stage. I would not hesitate to recommend Jake to my friends and family.

I am so excited to start the building with the team!!!pre-Construction journey

Exceptional Service and Support from Homebuyers Centre WA
I recently embarked on the journey of building my first home with Homebuyers Centre Western Australia, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, Richard Wetterhahn, my New Homes Consultant, played a pivotal role in making this seemingly daunting process not only manageable but genuinely enjoyable.
Richard's expertise and unwavering enthusiasm were evident from the beginning. Despite my initial skepticism about owning a home, he patiently guided me through every step, addressing my numerous questions and concern
... Read mores with a level of professionalism that made me feel valued as a customer. What truly set Richard apart was his ability to listen to my needs and preferences, ultimately guiding me towards a suitable area that aligned perfectly with my requirements. The collaborative effort continued as Tynaya Franich, another key member of the team, joined in to help shape my vision for the kitchen. Tynaya not only listened attentively to my design preferences but also offered valuable insights on how to enhance the space without compromising resale value—a testament to the team's commitment to creating homes that are both personalized and market-savvy. Throughout the process, various team members provided invaluable assistance, contributing to an overall positive experience. The online portal, where I had the opportunity to explore and choose different options for fixtures, appliances, and colors, added a layer of convenience to the decision-making process. The visualizations within the portal allowed me to see how each choice would come together, providing a clear picture of the final product. While there were some initial hiccups with the plans, the team's responsiveness and dedication to addressing my concerns were evident. The revised plans, received recently, reflect the collaborative effort put into creating a home that aligns seamlessly with my vision. The excitement for what lies ahead is palpable, and I am eager to see the construction phase unfold.Find out how Homebuyers Centre Western Australia compares to other Project Home Builders

Show detailsWonderful experience so far from Desiré Fernandez
We visited one of the Homebuyers Display's homes and met Desiré. We were still deciding on our first home and Des was proactive and very quick. We are very happy with the communication and the progress so far. She was patient with all my requirements and came back with a House and build package in our budget. We are still in the pre start stage but I believe Homebuyers Center will continue to deliver this level of customer service throughout our building journey.

We have built homes in the past and have found Homebuyers process very pleasurable so far. Our consultant, Brendan Tucek has been amazing throughout the process of deciding which home will suit our needs best and showing us alternative options when we were unsure or if we didn't like certain parts of the design. He explained everything in simple terms so that we were well informed and comfortable with putting our build in his and Homebuyers hands. Katie Nitsche gave us the tour of the home collective range, showing us what was included in the h

We went with Homebuyers as they guaranteed our house would be built in 10-12 months. We have received notice of 31 days delay total due to the weather and steel shortage (which is perfectly understandable) however, it will be 12 months in 3 weeks time and our house is only 20% complete with no reason why. They wont answer our phone calls or reply to emails with any information. We have asked them every month for an estimated completion date and no one will give a straight answer other than "it's too early to tell"...after 12 months of a 12 month build. The lack of honest communication has been so stressful for our family and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through this. Don't use them.

Hello , what would be the best way to get your south west " customer experience team leader " to answer emails and return phone calls?
I believe she is also acting as contract supervisor....
Hi there,
Thank you for your message. I have passed on your concerns to the South West team and they will be on contact with you.
Many thanks,
Emily
Homebuyers Centre
Thank you Emily, much appreciated
Good morning Emily, below is the email I wrote this morning to my building supervisor.
I believe if the highest level of management see the strategy of the SW sale manager in Bunbury , they could possibly improve the way your good company is represented by stopping certain behaviours that according to my lawyer is deceiving , misleading and potentially fraudulent.
Could you please pass this to the appropriate person in charge at Dale Alcok / Hombuyers centre?
I really don't want to go public with this
Thank you..

Good morning dear xyz,
Thank you for taking the time to write back.
Just for your information:
I have been told by all the people I have communicated before you took you position ( 2 building supervisors and 2 site supervisors ) that the sand finish on the internal wall was not within the scope of work but no one could say why .
It seemed a set answer for everyone to give .
I have asked a builder friend of mine if he was aware of any reason but he could not see why . That is why I have asked you again to see if we can change the contract on that point.
In regards of the penalty rates
document that your sale manager is refusing to sign, just be aware that this is the document HE gave me when I asked him about penalty rates in case of delay.
Why on earth anyone rappresenting a company of the magnitude of Dale Alcock with all of its honest and hard working employees would give me a form of such importance if it did not apply to my case?
He certainly did not underlined this fact , he only said : this is what we do"...and with this statement I have trusted him together with the other statement of his that if I signed now ( mid November 2022 or there abouts) I was able to have the new house ready to go around Christmas 2023.
So you can see now just a couple of the reasons why I often regret having started this whole
process with this working group that I have chosen to trust.TRUST!
All of the above has been reinforced again when no one took 5 minutes of their time to communicate to me that the roof carpenters, that were booked for the last week of August , have now been delayed by two months at this stage.
Dear xyz, I have enjoyed taking to you everytime , you seem a very nice person so this is obviously not directed at you personally, but honestly
I no longer care about the sand finish on the internal walls , or the penalty rate document or when the roof carpenters are going to finish or when Dale Alcock/Home buyers centre is going to finish my house, so I won't bother you any more with any requests or questions.
I just feel that the above should become of general knowledge at the highest level of management so they can hopefully see the opportunity to improve things.
I leave all in your capable hands.
Thank you again for your time.
Best regards

hi
I am not happy the way homebuyers are about the problem my son has with his home.my son was away for 3 weeks and came home to this problem. Here is a list of the problems- 1.Around laundry area and in the family area.it was totally flooded .
2. The walls are covered in Mold and smells badly.
3. they said it was coming from laundry sink [ they haven't got anyone to check for leaks. the house is only 1year old.
4. they told me and my son that he has to dry the walls himself and to get the mold off. Its a totally disaster.
How can people blame my son for this [ of course he tried the fittings under laundry sink and he discovered the water was coming from there . For the amount of water that was on the floor and walls Isn't caused by the laundry sink. there must be a leak in wall because he wasn't home and no one used the water. So I would like a better response about this and to get it fixed as my son is now staying with me as it was making him sick. So how can they say its not there problem well i don't agree they built the house and they should get the builders out to fix it.
You can send your response to my email - [Email Address Removed] my son lives in Lakelands Perth.
Hope to hear from you ASAP.
Thanks
Ellen

It is typical of HBC ,to avoid responsibility of poor workmanship of their builders.They will want the client pay for it later down the line.
