The process from start to finish of our build was flawless. The shepparton jg king team were amazing. The communication throughout was exceptional and we always felt at ease. Highly recommend. Show details
Site manager in Shepparton [Name Removed] was very professional and made the building process very easy. Had an additional independent inspection done prior to the 3 month warranty period due to moving in late and very little outside of general marks came up. Show details
2018 build, noncompliant work and bath insulation in main bathroom resulting in water major damage to multiple rooms and unable to use shower and bath. Dodgy trades, dodgy surveyor terrible workmanship throughout. Breaches to contract throughout the building process. Now left with a house I cannot sell nor afford to fix. I recommend you build to plan and get your own surveyor before handover. Show details

Beautiful second home built by JG King Homes. We are really happy with the entire experience and would highly recommend them to everyone. A special thank you to Joel, the supervisor, who understood every detail from start to finish and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Show details
Quality home finished to a higher standard than I expected. Very easy built and helpful supervisor with no issues involving build. Well done team and as this was a spec home I will certainly be back again. Show details

Overall very happy with the build of our new home! Some small setbacks along the way which were frustrating at the time and meant we were not in our home before Christmas and were pushed back a month due the break but overall it was quite a quick build, approx 8mths from turning soil to handover and that's with almost a month of shut-down during… Read more
Christmas/January. We are really happy with the end result, we have been in our home for nearly 3mths now. Few minor things have come up as expected but nothing that can't be fixed quite easily.
On the end, we had a great experience and were lucky enough to work with a fabulous sales consultant (Kelly) at the beginning and our site supervisor (Justin) was also terrific.
Our first time building and we had heard so many bad stories a out many builders including JG King but we really can't fault them much st all. Shepparton office was great! I'd be happy to go through this process again if it was this easy every time!

We built the Delta 299 in Regional Victoria through the Shepparton office. Our journey was a great one, from the initial meetings with the sales consultant, to the plan changes (which were never an issue), to the contract, colour selections, upgrades etc. Our Building Supervisor was really communicative, always available and personable. We are thrilled with our new home. Show details
Very happy with our JG King home building experience. The process was straight forward and efficient from the planning stage through to hand over. All our requests/alterations were taken into consideration and delivered in the final plans to a high standard. Even after hand over JG King have been happy and responsive to any small issues that have arisen as we settled into our home . I would gladly build with JG King again. Show details

In-depth reviews
This is the second JG Home I’ve built with the Shepparton office (first a starter home, and now our family home), and the third JG Home within our family. We’ve always found JG King competitive on price and transparent during the pre-construction phase compared with other builders. The added peace of mind of a steel frame also influenced our… Read more
decision to build with them again.
We built the Belmore, and at a total of 35 sqm our build was completed within 10 months. The construction phase was almost seamless. As with any build, it’s important to keep a close eye on progress to ensure everything is on track; however, anything I identified was either quickly rectified or already being addressed by our supervisor. Our supervisor, Justin, was very communicative and responsive throughout.
One area for improvement would be flooring. To my knowledge, the Shepparton branch sources their flooring through a Ballarat company. In my previous JG build, we had issues with raised floorboards — which were replaced (to be fair) but handled poorly by the flooring store manager, who should have liaised directly with JG King rather than us. I decided to give them another chance this time, but despite paying extra for higher-quality floors, our carpets have been laid poorly with visible gaps between joins. JG King advised these would settle over time, but approaching our 3‑month maintenance, this hasn’t been the case. We’ll continue to pursue this. If building with King, I’d recommend arranging your flooring outside of contract.
On a positive note, JG King were very accommodating in working with external trades for our heating and cooling installation. The office staff were consistently responsive by email and flexible when changes arose outside our control (for example, when our chosen brick was discontinued, we were offered a wider selection beyond their normal range to find a suitable match).
We haven’t yet completed our 3‑month maintenance, so we can’t comment on their after‑build service for this house just yet. That said, our list currently contains only eight minor items — mostly quick fixes. Overall, the build experience was very positive, and we now have a beautiful home that’s often complimented by visitors. Should we decide to build again, we would happily consider JG King once more.
It was my second build with JG King Homes. This time with the Shepparton office. That one was even easier than the first one started 6 years ago (which was also an easy and pleasant experience) only because I was already familiar with the process and, most importantly, had greater confidence in their design, selections and project management. This… Read more
time, we included much more than just the house, which proved to be a great headache saver. We added a driveway, extensive customised paving, and whole house flooring, as well as included landscaping provisions, etc. Everything was perfectly coordinated and aligned with the house design. No hassle with finding trades, ensuring nothing is forgotten, explaining how things should be constructed to match the whole home style, and not forgetting the competitive pricing. The house was completed over a year ago without issues and is still going great. We did not have to call JG for issues (fingers crossed). Keys to the successful house construction: - Spend as much time as needed to perfect the design, plans and all selections. - Review each iteration of drawings, inclusions, and variances over and over again. Ensure everything is perfect and nothing is left to anybody's guess or assumptions. The more detailed the plans, the easier it is later for the construction team as these awesome guys follow plans to the millimetre. - Be in constant contact with the site supervisor (we had four great guys – absolute legends) - Appoint a private inspector – there are never too many eyes to check the progress and quality. We and the builder appreciated that as we could spot any potential issues early enough to easily rectify them without impacting timeline or causing costly repairs later. I can't emphasise enough how important it is to have the plans and inclusion list (the whole contract) in a perfect state with everything the way we wanted. That made the construction a very smooth process and made communication with site supervisors (and transitions to new supervisors) easy, as they were not afraid that we could abuse that relationship with constant requests to change something during the construction (which most of the times is complicated and costly if not impossible). The JG team we met, from the sales at the display village, through the colour selection in their office and over email or Zoom, to the site supervisors and trades, were amazing people with excellent knowledge and experience and totally on our site at all times. We can't thank them enough! On a more general note, I appreciate the completeness of their plans and basic inclusions. All the core needed for a solid, long-lasting house are included. Any modifications or upgrades are always added with great consideration for the house's integrity and efficiency. I truly appreciated that I did not have to think about the basics, which are very often on the optional list with other builders (and frequently skipped for a fake cost saving). And any fancy things were easy to add during the color consultation. JG King remains our reference builder. I can recommend them without hesitation. And our first house is nearing 5 years of trouble-free and comfortable living. Couldn't be happier.

Sales and Contracts with Shepparton a breeze – This is our 3rd build with the Shepparton office. When we decided to build again Kings was our first call. The last two built by them were great so the choice was kind of a “no-brainer”. Once we found the plan that worked for our family and block it was time to get an estimate. [Name Removed](our sales consultant) was a deadset legend! She was… Read more
very personable and easy to work with. She edited our quote a few times and helped us get the details perfect. She spent a few hours with us in person and made the process easy and fun.
The team in the office are lovely. [Name Removed] is very knowledgeable and helped us get through the contract stage with an efficiency that is her trademark! She is great at her job and made sure everything kept moving in the right direction.
[Name Removed] took us through the contacts and made sure all our questions were answered and that we were comfortable and understood the details. She was lovely and easy to deal with. There were no major holdups with sales and contracts, I have nothing but praise for these teams. Our site supervisor has only just taken over our file, so we are yet to meet him. I’ll update our review once we have met him and started the process. If this build is anything like the last two, it will run like clockwork and if we run into any issues they will be dealt with in a professional manner.
Updated 2nd September 2024. We’re about 3 to 4 weeks away from handover. Our site supervisor ….. has been great to deal with. We’ve done private building inspections at every stage as well as a random VBA inspection. The build has passed all inspections with minor defects that were handled brilliantly. He sent photos of any repairs. Nothing has rattled our supervisor and he’s either called or emailed with regular updates.
He’s ran our site like clockwork, kept the site tidy and done everything he said he would. He’s had people come back to redo parts if they’re not up to standard. We’ve had a few delays with trades and he’s been on top of everything to keep it ticking over.
Based off our experience with King over the last 10 years build another 50 homes with them without a doubt.
Positive reviews
Professional service from start to finish. Allowed for customization and variations from their stabdard floorplan. A few minor issues after handover but all dealt with in timely manner. Overall, I am satisified with the build quality and time frame to completion. I recommend JG King Shepparton without reservation. Show details

My partner and I built with JG King in 2025, the entire process was made easy thanks to the well trained team. [Name Removed], our supervisor, delivered our home in a timely manner and within budget.

addressed promptly and professionally. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would recommend JG King to others.
Our build with JG King was absolutely smooth sailing from the office staff to our site supervisor Blair . The quality was outstanding and time frame for build was great my only issue was the plumbers doing the stormwater but when told JG King rectified the issue. Happy customers Show details

Cheap crap – Air conditioner leaked, toilets don’t stop running water, the oven stopped working, shower bases hazardous hump caused falls, hot water leaking again. Garage door leaks water. Certainly not rodent proof, and bird nest in evap cooling duct. Mortar in bricks damp and crumbly. Final straw no hot water. 4 year old house you don’t expect to be repairing!! Show details
Good sales consultant ! – We had a very good experience with their sales consultant.He was very professional and knowledgeable.The administration was not really good,as they were very hard to deal with when I built and building process was slow. Building supervisor was very good and tried to solve issues quickly.I am happy at the end. Show details

Great Sales Team, Poor Building Team – I felt that [Name Removed] answered all my questions and went the extra effort in showing me a house with the exact same layout. Unfortunately the service dropped off after dealing with the sales team and the build happened, there ended up being an issue with the mortar that I spotted myself - ended up getting a free rendering job because of it,… Read more
do your best and render the rest right? Disappointed with the overall build experience and will most likely sell and build with a more reputable building group next time.

We’ve been in our home for 2 years now and are still really happy with it. We did build at the back of COVID, so we did have some delays which were to be expected. Our trades were really great and took great care, and our site supervisor was pretty responsive when we needed him. The team that came to fix up our (very small) maintenance list were… Read more
also fantastic, they went above and beyond. Honestly, we are very happy with JG King Shepparton and love our new family home.

JG King were excellent to build with, which as a first time home buyer really made things much easier. At each stage the staff were very helpful and easy to contact. The most impressive part was the speed of the build. Things moved fast but were also done well. I'm very happy with the finishes and workmanship. I would not hesitate to work with JG King again.

Overall happy with the build, communication was great throughout and site supervisor rectified any concerns we had, we were happy with the timeframe of the build and didn't have many delays. Show details
JGK were an incredibly easy and flexible company to deal with throughout the build. The professionalism and constant updates made for a smooth and low stress time as I was in another state for the majority of it. It was a reassurance that I didn’t have to worry weather the job was on target or up to standard. JGK hit every expectation and some. I couldn’t recommend this company more. Thankyou JGK Show details
Took a little longer than expected but was worth the wait. Highly recommend as the final product was just perfect without any problems !! Competitive pricing is something you can expect as well. Show details

2024 Building with JGKing – We are very happy with our house build and would definitely recommend JGKing to others. Our introductory person was attentive and friendly taking us through the first stage. Then we were passed onto someone else that took us through to the start of the build, who was amazing and so helpful to us with making decisions. The build stages were… Read more
always on time and we are impressed with the quality of products used and the workmanship. Our build supervisor replied to our enquiries however lacked communication if not prompted. The only issue we have is post construction with our NBN not connected at the time it should have been and now 2 months later we are still waiting for connection. The final cost was as expected.
Jg king 10 out of 10! – Jg king homes have been amazing to deal with through and through, from start to finish I didn’t have any issues with the company, supervisors, tradies or time frames. They do quality work efficiently, and went above and beyond there was issues and challenges with council before signing contracts. They really made us feel like my partner and I’s happiness was the number 1 priority, I would highly recommend Jg Kings! Show details

Paradise 150 – I built my home with JG King homes in Nagambie with the construction being completed in September 2023. This is the second home I had built by JG King homes and I am extremely pleased with the end result. Throughout the planning process, staff were great to deal with and listened to my requests and queries and tried to work with me as best they… Read more
could so that the end result was perfect.
I selected the Paradise 150 with upgraded Kitchen and alfresco.
The build process was great and the end result mirrored this. I couldn’t find any faults with the end result and didn’t need to follow up with the complementary 3 month maintenance as I couldn’t find anything that was not to standard in the home.
JG King homes were great to build with and I would 100% look to go with them again if I were to build for a third time.
Overall satisfied – I am very satisfied with the overall build. The team from walking through the display homes, picking my house design/colour choices to handover were amazing. Being a first time builder the only letdown during the building process was there was no walk throughs in the house after lockup stage. I only got to see the house once completed. After… Read more
handover, some issues did occur within 3 months with the hot water system pressure decreased and leaking plumbing under the sink. But when I got in contact with my supervisor he assisted in getting them looked at and fixed as soon as possible. Which I am very grateful for and lucky they weren’t major issues. Plumbers came and solved the issues in a couple of minutes. Besides those little hiccups I am very happy with it. Thank you JGKing!
Updates Throughout – Having great communication through all Construction stages was great, we knew everything that was happening from all aspects, from both Administration and Construction teams. We are very impressed with the house. Show details

Good Service – Above and beyond service pre build with the planning stage. During construction could’ve been managed better but did have some communication but could’ve been better. Build has turned out exactly as planned and final cost was the same as the estimated cost which is great. Show details
