We built our wonderful home with Live Green and couldn’t be happier with the result. The service we received from everyone—from the sales team to our incredibly helpful site manager, Tim—was exceptional. Whenever we had a question or encountered an issue along the way, Tim responded promptly to our calls and emails, and nothing ever seemed too… Read more ·  1

difficult for him to handle. His professionalism and willingness to help made the entire process smooth and stress-free. We are extremely satisfied with the quality and standard to which our home has been built. Thank you to the team at Live Green

We built with Livegreen in Torquay and have now been living in our home for nearly 12 months. Before deciding on Livegreen, we did a lot of research and spoke with numerous local custom and smaller-volume builders. From our first meeting with Richard at an older display home in Mount Duneed around three years ago, he was friendly, approachable,… Read more ·  1

and very knowledgeable. When we met again at the Leopold display home, his passion for the home and the details that Livegreen had incorporated into the design really stood out.

Throughout all of our dealings with Richard, we had a fantastic experience. At no point did we feel pressured to sign a contract or pay a deposit, which we really appreciated. All of the build timelines he discussed with us were met in full by Livegreen.

We also had numerous consultations with Kelly, both online and in person, and ended up with a beautiful combination of colours and finishes. Kelly’s experience in interior design, along with her building knowledge, was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the many choices involved.

Tim was our site supervisor, and I developed a great working relationship with him throughout the build. He kept us informed about all scheduled works and progress along the way. We did experience a couple of delays during the build, both of which were outside of Livegreen’s control. However, these issues were handled professionally and resolved promptly by Tim and the construction team.

We are extremely happy with the beautiful home designed and built by Livegreen. The passive solar orientation and efficient building design have created a wonderful home that is light, bright, and energy efficient.

We have already recommended Livegreen to friends and would definitely consider building with them again in the near future.

LiveGreen were exceptional and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to build around the Bellarine peninsula, Surf Coast or Geelong area. From our first interaction with LiveGreen in their display home, all the way through to handover and beyond, LiveGreen's customer service and quality of work was fantastic. Each staff member we… Read more ·  1

dealt with was extremely helpful, provided timely responses, were patient and friendly. We worked with the design team for approximately 18 months to create the perfect house for us. The fact that we could design our own unique home for our modest budget, blew us away and sets LiveGreen apart from many other builders that we contacted.

LiveGreen were part of our team with the joint goal to create a highly practical, energy efficient and beautiful house. They offered helpful suggestions that made the design stage overall a smooth process. It was only once the design was complete that we had to sign the contract, which was comforting for us by minimising the time between signature and build.

The build itself happened so quickly, only taking six months with no delays. Very impressive! Our site supervisor was always happy to take our calls and walk us through the site answering any questions we had. On one occasion we noticed the brickwork pattern in one area wasn't as we hoped and notified our site supervisor. This was fixed immediately without any issues to our satisfaction and demonstrates LiveGreen's flexibility and responsiveness.

After living in the house for 6 months, we can say with confidence that LiveGreen achieves their goal of applying passive house principals to create an energy efficient and sustainable home. The house does not drop below 15 degrees inside, even on the coldest 2 degree mornings with no draught at all.

Thank you LiveGreen for your excellent service and building our beautiful home. We are very pleased with our new home and couldn't be happier with our building experience.

Live Green certainly embody their name, building beautiful, practical, healthy homes. Our custom build, planned specifically for our unique-shaped block, delivered everything we were hoping for and more! We now have an amazing high-performance home, which is so economical, we can barely believe how much we are saving on our bills! We had little… Read more ·  1

knowledge of high-performance homes and passive house principles; all we knew was that this was to be our forever home, and we wanted to embrace as many sustainable features as we could. Enter Live Green, and their philosophy and ours was a perfect match! The entire team - from sales people, to style consultants, to builders and trades, and the admin staff - were all so friendly and knowledgeable, and really cared about what we wanted. They were patient, welcoming of our input and ideas, and made the building process an enjoyable one. We absolutely adore our house, and highly recommend Live Green Homes!

Could not recommend Live Green enough. The entire process was smooth, with great communication from everyone. We were able to customise from one of Live Greens existing plans, and spent some time with Rachael to work through how to best make use of our block and customise what we needed so we could create a home that would truly suit us.

was so helpful with the selections, and was able to suggest some options we never would have thought of but ending up going with and love.

Tim, our site supervisor was fantastic to deal with, and we were very happy with the level of communication we received. Emails sent to the office were always promptly and efficiently dealt with.

The end result was above and beyond our expectations, would recommend Live Green to everyone

I would give Live Green Homes 10 stars if I could. At each stage of our build we engaged with professionals in their respective field who prioritised our needs and regular communication to ensure we understood all aspects of each stage (timeframes, challenges, opportunities, cost etc). I would be happy to have experienced this with any builder,… Read more ·  1

but Live Green Homes delivered a completely customised home where the standard inclusions elevate both quality and sustainability. Living in our home is a daily pleasure, and utility bills are as small as possible while remaining on town water and the power grid. Building with Live Green Homes is the first step towards feeling at home in a community. We genuinely feel like we accomplished this project together with a great team behind us every step of the way, and into the future if we ever choose to build again, or have any questions we need an expert's opinion on.

Our first time building a new home – Having owned several houses in the past we decided this time we would build from scratch. We went to many display homes but returned to the Live Green display home several times to discuss our requirements with their staff. They were extremely helpful and assisted with items we hadn't thought of. The design process flowed very well considering we… Read more ·  1

made some major alterations to the plans, when other builders were reluctant to change their designs. Pricing was very detailed so we were well aware of our costs prior to signing our contract. Fitting and fixtures offered a large range of options and staff were very helpful and offered terrific suggestions in regard to colours, design options and the various selections available to us. We were very lucky to have a terrific site supervisor who kept us well informed of the build and ensured the workmanship and quality was to a very high standard. We received the keys to the house earlier than expected, costs came in as per the contract price. I would highly recommend building with Live Green Homes

and our consultant guided us through with plenty of experience and a great understanding of the process. The design and estimating team helped us keep on budget while assisting us with best upgrade options for our house type and site. On site, our build quality was exceptional, the site was always tidy and our supervisor was in regular contact. We were able to easily contact our supervisor who answered any questions or concerns we had. We always had an answer quickly and our questions were never dismissed. The handover process was easy, smooth and professional! Overall we are incredibly happy that we chose to build with Live Green Homes and if we decided to build again we would do it all over with the same team!
