Our brand new home built by Kaplan homes was just recently completed and we couldn’t be happier. We felt supported every step of the way, we were updated and kept in the loop throughout the whole process and the house was built ahead of schedule. All the costs were communicated clearly and confirmed prior, there were no hidden fees or surprises.… Read more

We want to especially thank our project manager Karen and site managing team Warren and Hayden - they were friendly, experienced and have great attention to detail. They showed a lot of care - like they were building a home for themselves or family. Highly recommend Kaplan Homes to anyone who is looking to build their dream home!

everything during the administration stage. There was a lot of paperwork involved, and you were always incredibly quick to respond, answer my questions, and make any amendments. We had one minor hiccup with the electricity and gas selection, but aside from that, everything else was handled seamlessly. Thank you for making the process so much easier.

Then construction stage. Please also pass on my thanks to David W. for always taking my calls and answering any questions I had, much appreciated. After handover, Warren has been incredibly helpful with all of my post-construction follow-up queries. His ongoing support has meant a lot. I'm now heading into the final maintenance stage with Dwayne, who has also been a superstar so far.

A well-deserved 5 stars to you all! Please pass on my appreciation to the entire team. I would happily recommend Kaplan to anyone looking to build their new home.

Thank you again for making what could have been a daunting experience such a positive one.

We moved into our new home a month ago built by Kaplan Homes. The whole building process was stress free. They delivered the house in the time they promised. Andrew, our site manager was wonderful and very efficient. He was always available to give us weekly updates and house tours after each stage completion. We are very satisfied with the 8 star inclusions. Highly recommend Kaplan Homes. Show details

special shoutout goes to Emylia Kino. She was amazing and would ring me when anything major or exciting happened prior to an email, just to explain it in a bit more detail for us. She also made sure that the entire process and administrative tasks were stress-free. She always picked up my calls and made sure I was satisfied. Another key part of our experience was Andrew Crass, our Site Supervisor. Andrew was a standout, as he is highly experienced, knowledgeable, and always approachable. He was extremely helpful and consistently responsive to all our queries, making the journey far less stressful. He took the time to thoroughly review the reports from our private inspector, ensuring that every item was addressed and rectified promptly. His hands-on approach and attention to detail gave us great confidence that our home was being built to a high standard. His professionalism, dedication, and willingness to go above and beyond truly set him apart. We are very grateful for all his hard work and highly recommend him. The project was delivered ahead of schedule, which is a true credit to his project management skills. Once again, thank you, Emylia and Andrew and Warren. Highly recommend Kaplan to anyone looking for a reliable, professional builder. We would not hesitate to build with them again.

I would like to thank Kaplan Homes for delivering as promised. We were searching for a builder to construct a custom home for a floor plan that I had drawn. Our first point of contact was Stephen at their Box Hill display. He was most helpful in getting the plan architecturally on paper and giving us invaluable advice along the way. Our… Read more

coordinator at the next stage was Karen, she was super efficient and communicative. Karen made the arduous journey to the construction stage smooth. I would like to add here that the paper work and documentation was a long drawn affair but very precise and water tight. I think that this is one area where things need to be streamlined along with the internal selection procedure which I thought was a very rushed affair. Kaplan definitely needs to allocate more time towards internal selection. During construction, Andrew was our site supervisor and I have nothing but praise for him. He was very approachable and cooperative, his postive and can do attitude is very much appreciated. The final handover was a bit sudden and some cosmetic and trivial jobs are still pending. Kaplan has been ticking them off the list as we go along. I have dealt with Warren for the post handover issues, he has been efficient and prompt. Finally, I would like to say that I am glad that I chose Kaplan Homes from the long list of potential builders. A big shout out and thanks to Stephen, Karen, Andrew and Warren. Best wishes.

Unprofessional handover process and zero empathy for clients ​The final stages of building with Kaplan Homes have been incredibly stressful. Despite our bank funds being cleared and an interim Occupation Certificate being issued, they have flat-out refused to finalize our handover. ​We are currently in a position where our rental lease is ending… Read more

on April 23rd, yet the management team—specifically construction manager has been completely uncooperative regarding a firm move-in date. It feels like once they have the commitment, the customer service vanishes. ​Communication regarding the timeline has been a series of misunderstandings, leaving us in a state of limbo with a young family. We expected a professional partnership to get us into our new home, but instead, we’ve met unnecessary roadblocks at the finish line. Booked Kennards hire to to move the stuffs from rental property for now and moving to airbnb for living, what a painful situation kaplan caused. I wouldnot recommed Kaplan to anyone nor my another build gonna happen with kaplan.

and working closely with us to design the home we had always imagined. His attention to detail and creative suggestions truly made the design feel special and uniquely ours.

The paperwork stage was made incredibly smooth once we met you, Karen. Your professionalism, warmth, and clear communication made what could have been an overwhelming process feel easy and reassuring. We always felt informed and supported, which we truly appreciated.

Once construction began, we were introduced to Nicholas, our site supervisor, and Warren. Both were knowledgeable, approachable, and very accommodating—especially considering we requested a few changes after construction had already commenced. Their patience and willingness to help gave us great confidence throughout the build.

Overall, our journey with Kaplan has been a very positive one. While there were a few small hiccups along the way, nothing ever felt unmanageable, and Nicholas and Warren always found solutions. As we are now settling into our new home, there are just a few minor items to be addressed, and we are confident that Kaplan will continue to uphold their high standards and see these resolved.

We would happily recommend Kaplan Homes to others and are very grateful to everyone involved in bringing our home to life.

Kind regards,

Daniel and Roberta

orders convinced us to have a sastified level of confidence to make a decision on the expensive project but you certainly saved us lot of money from the rental property, in which we stayed while waiting for the house to be completed and hand ober. 5 stars rating for you may be not enough, it should be 8 stars like Kaplan, thanks you from us may be not sufficient too, but we cannot express our adequate feeling toward your excellent work on this assignment. Thanks Kaplan to provide the talent, knowledgeable and effective person to handle the construction of our house.

I’ve had an extremely disappointing experience with Kaplan and Sundancer Homes, and I strongly advise others to reconsider before building with them. Throughout the process, customer service was virtually non-existent. When I requested minor design changes, such as adding a window in the master bedroom, [Name Removed] told me not to contact her… Read more

directly, which was both unprofessional and frustrating.

[Name Removed], who is in a senior position, was rude and even yelled at me over the phone, which I found completely unacceptable.

After moving in, the maintenance experience was just as poor. My toilet was not functioning for over three months, and despite multiple requests, no one attended to it promptly. When they finally did respond, [Name Removed] was disrespectful, dismissive, and many of the identified issues were still left unresolved.

One area that could be improved is the landscaping service included in the package. There was a significant delay in being contacted and having the work started. It might be beneficial for Kaplan to consider partnering with more than one landscaper to help avoid similar delays for future clients.

Overall, we’re very pleased with the experience and grateful for the team's support in bringing our home to life.
