We built the Westwood Premier with the Eden Façade. We completed our final PCI on 17 April and are currently still awaiting handover of our keys. Overall, we are very happy with the quality of our build. From what we’ve seen, all trades have done a great job, and the build was completed within the promised 12-month timeframe.

Nathan, was exceptional throughout the entire build. He was always easy to communicate with, provided consistent fortnightly updates, and demonstrated a high level of professionalism and attention to detail. Nathan was proactive in identifying and addressing any issues early and was quick to resolve them to a high standard. Our Construction Customer Service Coordinator, Brooke, also kept us informed of any delays, responded promptly to our questions, and was very helpful throughout the process. We only experienced a few minor issues, all of which were resolved efficiently. One point future customers should be aware of is that if you upgrade to a square set ceiling, the ceiling height may be reduced more than expected. We were anticipating 2.7m ceilings downstairs but ended up with approximately 2.6m. We are happy with the selections we made and don’t regret any of our upgrades. However, we chose not to upgrade the bathroom tiles and instead selected the same colour tile in different sizes for the floor and walls, which resulted in a noticeable colour variation. The standard tile selection is quite limited—something many reviews mention—and in hindsight, we should have upgraded. There was also no solar consultation offered during our colour selection appointment. Given the BASIX requirements, having a combined BASIX and solar consultation at that stage would have been very helpful. Hopefully, this is something that has since been improved for future clients.

consistent, issues were anticipated early, and any challenges were handled calmly and professionally. He gave us complete confidence that the build was being managed properly at all times. Brooke was equally outstanding on the customer service side. She was responsive, thorough, and always supportive; no question was too small and nothing ever felt like a hassle. Brooke ensured the administrative and coordination side of the build ran smoothly and kept us informed every step of the way. Together, Wesley and Brooke formed an outstanding team. Their professionalism, reliability, and genuine care made what can be a stressful process feel well controlled and positive. We truly felt supported throughout the entire journey. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Masterton, especially if you have Wesley and Brooke involved in your build.

After constant rejections from builders due to our steep and challenging site, we walked into Masterton’s exhibition display at Box Hill and were met by David, from this point on we felt like we were no longer being told what can’t be done, but what can be done, David spent considerable time alternating between us and his team finally providing a… Read more ·  1

proposal that exceeded our expectations. We found Masterton very detailed in the pre-construction phase, although sometimes a bit frustrating, it proved to be well worth the effort as the construction held no surprises and we were all on the same page, resulting in only one variation - a relocation of a window initiated by us. The construction process was always going to be a challenge for our site, but between Shaylee our construction co-ordinator, and Angelo our site Manager, everything was meticulously planned and executed. Angelo communicated well and never called with an issue he didn’t have proposed solutions for, his bias for quality was also very confidence inspiring . All the staff and suppliers we dealt with throughout the process were pleasant, knowledgeable and positively focused on a successful quality outcome. We remained on budget for the build, again I put that down to the pre-construction detail. Looking forward to moving in to our beautiful forever home.

site and achieve a quality build completed ahead of schedule. I am very satisfied and happy with the final result of my new home. After Pre-construction Stage, my build entered into Construction Stage and building works commenced on 31/10/2024. My build was a 2-storey house in Hills District with a guest bedroom and a powder room on the ground floor and 4 bedrooms all with ensuites on the first floor. With a contract construction period of 290 working days, the contract completion date was estimated to be on 30/12/2025 (excluding extension of time due to adverse weather, Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays). Janie and Justin provided very effective construction management and supervision in the whole construction process. As a result, the build took about 259 working days to complete and the Final Inspection was carried out on 13/11/2025, which is approximately 83% of the contract construction period. The build quality was very good and the keys of the house were handed over to me on 24/11/2025. Janie is a very effective co-ordinator and construction team leader. She managed the whole construction process very well. Janie kept a very good record of building variations agreed during construction, based on which the contract sum was finalized accurately. She also advised me timely on any extension of time due to adverse weather. Upon completion of the building works, she made a submission of Occupation Certificate Pack to the Certifier and arranged the Certifier’s site inspection very effectively. With her very good effort, the Certifier’s Final Result was obtained without any issue related to the building works. Justin is a very experienced, responsive and reasonable Site Supervisor. He coordinated building works of different trades very effectively. He updated me weekly on the progress of the building works. These weekly updates were very useful for me to keep track of the construction activities on site and monitor the overall construction progress. Justin responded to my requests and queries positively and promptly. During the construction period, I requested 3 site walkthroughs at different construction milestone stages. Justin had no hesitation to arrange the site walkthroughs with me, answered my queries on the construction matters and explained to me in detail the works planned ahead. Upon completion of the build, he managed the Practical Completion Inspection (PCI) very well. All minor non-compliance or outstanding works identified by my Independent Building Inspector were rectified and completed very effectively. I signed off the PCI comfortably and Final Inspection was conducted in about 3 weeks’ time. The house was presented in a very clean and nice conditions at the Final Inspection. The handover was very pleasant and smooth. All in all, I had a very good experience in building with Masterton. I am very lucky to have Janie and Justin to look after the whole construction process of my new home. They are certainly excellent Coordinator and Site Supervisor to work with, and I appreciate very much for their help and assistance in the build. Thank you.

appreciated the flexibility Masterton offered in tailoring the plan to meet our needs, and being bespoke it did come with its own challenges for Masterton.

Wes, our site supervisor, consistently went above and beyond throughout the build and after, helping us with numerous queries, site visits and providing updates in a timely manner.

Although we had several construction coordinators along the way, we eventually ended up with Brooke, who was by far the best that we had dealt with, she also went above and beyond to support us through the final stages of construction and handover.

The workmanship on the finished home is okay and generally meets our expectations. While not everything was perfect, we’re happy with the final result.

things moving. Shay Martin from the selections / construction support team helped with our selections. Shay's experience and preparation was extremely useful for us as the selection process can be challenging with so many decisions to be made. One of the things that was really useful from my perspective was that Shay had clearly prepared thoroughly for our selections meeting and had a range of questions and suggestions ready to share with us, which helped simplify things and avoid some potential issues around the look of our house. Shay's guidance and honest feedback helped smooth that process for us and with Shay's help, our house looks great and fits with the look and feel we were going for. Shay also took on our construction support and was excellent at keeping us updated and working with us to keep everything moving efficiently. Moving on to construction, we had 2 site supervisors, one who started our project and then Angelo Zappala who took our house from the frame stage through to completion. Angelo was excellent - he communicates with regular updates and genuinely cares about the product being delivered. Angelo took on our build after a period of time where things had stalled with our previous site supervisor and quickly got things moving again. Angelo would regularly contact me outside of what I'd consider standard site supervisor working hours, including on weekends and holidays, when we had things that needed to be sorted out quickly. Angelo is a real asset for Masterton and if we build another house I'd want him to manage it from start to finish. We have had a few little issues since handover and they have been sorted out appropriately so far. Thanks to the team at Masterton - we are happy with our house and would do it again.

**April 2026 Update – Rating now 1★ (Formal Complaint Lodged with Building Commissioner)** At this stage, with unresolved defects and ongoing obstruction during the warranty period, my rating is now **1★**. The build itself was acceptable at handover. The **aftercare and warranty management is the failure point**. * Expect resistance * Expect… Read more

delays * Expect to escalate externally to get action

Following my September 2025 review, there was *some* movement from Masterton after threat of escalation to the Building Commissioner. However, due to management turnover, the current warranty approach has become obstructive, inconsistent, and frankly unacceptable—particularly as we approach the end of the 2-year statutory warranty period.

I have now lodged a formal complaint with the NSW Building Commissioner. 1. Water Damage Caused by Masterton Contractor (Major Issue) A Masterton plumber replaced a faulty toilet under warranty. Due to incorrect installation of the cistern, a concealed leak developed and resulted in **significant water ingress into the room below**, causing: * Saturation of the gyprock ceiling (water dripping from multiple نقاط and flowing down walls) * Likely contamination of ceiling insulation * Mould growth now visible through the ceiling lining * Damage to carpets, skirtings, and electrical fittings

Two separate Masterton contractors **verbally confirmed full ceiling replacement is required**, yet: * Masterton refuses to provide their own internal inspection reports * The Warranty Supervisor is unilaterally limiting the scope of works * Remediation has been superficial only (drying, no proper replacement or mould treatment) * Carpets were not uplifted, underlay not replaced, and no proper remediation undertaken

This is **not compliant with standard building or moisture remediation practice**, nor with what their own contractors advised on-site.

2. Carpets – Poor Quality & No Warranty Follow-Up The “Ultimate Range” carpets are clearly low-grade polypropylene and have deteriorated prematurely. * Initial complaint raised ~18 months ago * No resolution or meaningful follow-up * Now being redirected to manufacturer despite being a supplied product

Advice: **Do not rely on Masterton’s supplier recommendations or representations at colour selection.**

3. Wardrobes – Structural Failure Two wardrobe rails and shelving systems have **completely collapsed**. This is not wear and tear—this is installation or design failure.

4. Shower Screens – Design / Specification Issue Masterton promotes upgraded 2.2m shower screens but **does not advise orr give the option for the need for thicker glass (9–10mm)**. They believe that a 6mm bow in the glass is acceptable even if it prevents the shower door from closing properly

Result: * Panels flex and bow * Doors impact return panels during use

This is a foreseeable design issue that should have been disclosed at selection stage.

5. Warranty Conduct – Core Concern The most concerning issue is not the defects themselves, but how they are being handled: * Refusal to provide inspection reports * Ignoring or selectively responding to correspondence * Verbal confirmations later contradicted by management * Previously agreed cost reimbursements now denied * Scope of works being arbitrarily reduced

This is a **pattern of behaviour**, not an isolated issue.

---

### September 2025 Context (For Reference)

After escalation to the Building Commissioner in 2025, Masterton addressed some issues including:

* External floodlight installation defects * Meter box compliance issues

However, even at that stage:

* Record keeping was inaccurate * Work completion was incorrectly reported * Follow-up was poor * Defects required escalation to be acknowledged

_____________________________________________________ Sept 2025 Charles @Masterton : Headed to the Building Commissioner to get all 8 of my External Floodlights set at the correct level, to get my Meter Boxes Covers Changed so that they comply with the IP rating requirements, and to sort out any other maintenance items. My Rating has fallen from a 5 to a 4 star as The After-Care is equivalent to a 2-star rating for the followup from the 90 Day Team. This is >1 year from handover and 90 day team not completed their work!

1) Masterton refuse to provide their list of work items that need to be done (so you best have a good memory and take detailed notes, and confirm the same by email)

2) They will ignore your email but you then have a record for the Building Commissioner Complaints (my next destination)

3) They do not follow-up to ensure workmen turn-up and have completed the promised works. eg The co-ordinator told me her records had the electrical remediation work noted as completed in Jan 2025 which was the reason she ignored my follow-up email of March 2025 asking what was happening after the electricians had attended in Feb 2025 (time warp in Masterton record-keeping).

4) Electrical Color Appointment at Pre-Construction, be wary: The admin person has no idea about what she is saying. (a) Sensor Floodlights supplied cannot also activate another floodlight (b) Height of External Lights - you MUST be specific or your will be annoyed (as I am). On a sloping site with split levels Masterton will install your floodlights at random heights (although the contract say "EXTERNAL LIGHT POINTS AT STANDARD HEIGHT". They do NOT actually have any standard heights it could be from 1.5m above floor. (c) You need to ask for and pay for the actual powerpoints for your rangehoods- otherwise its a powercord hidden behind cabinetry.

5) Complaint in Installation of External Floodlights: In my case with a split level home 4 out of the 6 external floodlights are at random heights vs the ground level ( 3 of which are at a height were safework would require scaffolds to get them replaced) .

The most annoying is the external laundry lights which are at about 1.6m above the floor level and the problem according to Masterton is that my external laundry "steps are too high", followed by multiple other irrational statements. Lights just need to be at the same height as the 2.4m door frame. All this despite their Electrician King& Lewis admitting at their site visit that this is an issue, and awaiting Masterton go ahead.

4) Build Quality Issue - External Meter boxes are supposed to weather-proof IP rated - so should close properly. Mine are have dented lids and are flapping open in the mild wind. Masterton supervisor says that "the trades have executed all works as per your contract, this is not a building fault or defect and therefore no further action can be taken by Masterton on this matter". All this despite their Electrician King& Lewis admitting at their site visit that this is an issue, and awaiting Masterton go ahead.

5) Material Quality Issue: The carpets provided with the Ultimate Range - defective . Look completely worn down after 1year. During the color consult was told did not need to upgrade them because were quality carpets, now being told that these are the cheapest carpets possible and it would be up to the manufacturer to sort out the Warranty Claim

6) Material Quality Issue : The Shower Screens - upgrade the glass if you can. Was not given that option and really regret this. The thin glass panels vibrate when you open/close the shower screen door so that glass winds up slamming. Waiting on the non-90 day maintenance team to sort out issue

7) Material Quality Issue: Gainsborough Privacy Locks - complete rubbish. Masterton has been back 3 times to fix them. Is also an issue with how Masterton trains its people on how to fix these locks. The screws for the spindles on most of mine were either loose or missing - so the handles kept drooping.

@Masterton : Headed to the Building Commissioner to get all 8 of my External Floodlights set at the correct level, to get my Meter Boxes Covers Changed so that they comply with the IP rating requirements, and to sort out any other maintenance items.

My Rating has fallen from a 5 to a 4 star as The After-Care is equivalent to a 2-star rating for the followup from the 90 Day Team. This is >1 year from handover and 90 day team not completed their work!

Within just four weeks, we received the draft architectural plans and building contract for review, and we were able to proceed with signing promptly (Job 2020492)

I am very pleased with the overall process provided by Masterton Homes and truly grateful to have had Quan Dao guiding us through the pre-construction stage.

Well done to Quan Dao and the team at Masterton Homes!

I contacted Masterton Homes sales about 5 weeks ago to enquire a possibility of building a house with them on my property in Sydney. Quan Dao, the sales representative was very helpful to me, he assisted me to find the new design which best suits for my land, provided useful suggestion for the choice of the package Masterton Homes provided, and… Read more ·  1

We recently built our home with Masterton and had a good experience. The build was completed on time. Communication was consistent throughout, with the supervisor and customer service team providing regular updates on progress. They explained each stage clearly and responded to our questions without delay. We received helpful support during the… Read more ·  1

colour selection process, which made decisions easier and ensured everything came together well.

The finishes are of good quality, and the workmanship is solid. Branded, quality products were used throughout, and there was no substitution with cheaper items.

Overall, we now have a well-built, sturdy home that meets our expectations.

Save you money, time and energy! This is all I want to say to people looking to build with Masterton. If you go ahead, you will end up with endless stress, waiting, financial burden and pulling your hair out. People act nice(started at Box Hill showroom) and talk you into signing a contract and then you enter into months of waiting, non-responsive… Read more

staff and paying interest for the incompetence of Masterton staff. They happily come back and talk about the errors made, all they have to use is 'Unfortunately'. No accountability whatsoever!! I have build with 3 other builders, and none this pathetic. It's been one year and still at Pre-Construction back and forth emails. They also gifted me with a price hike for their incompetence.

Absolutely Devastating Experience – ⭐ Absolutely Devastating Experience – 2 Years of Stress, Failure, and Heartache Job Number: 2019232 What Masterton Homes has put me through over the last two years has been absolutely devastating.

and emails go unanswered, there is no follow-up, no accountability, and endless waiting while your life is left in limbo. The level of incompetence and lack of care shown throughout this process has been shocking. All I ever wanted was a home for my family. Instead, after two years of delays, excuses, and failures, I am left with nothing — no house, no certainty, just overwhelming stress, emotional exhaustion, and heartbreak. This experience has completely turned my life upside down. Masterton Homes had no hesitation in taking my deposit, yet they failed to carry out basic due diligence by properly checking with council regarding a critical issue on the land — horizontal stormwater running through the property. This is not a small oversight; it is a serious failure that should have been identified before any contract was signed or money was taken. Jim Masterton built a legacy on trust and helping families build homes. That legacy is now being badly tarnished by the staff currently representing the company and by the way customers are treated once the contract is signed. In my view, the conduct of Masterton Homes throughout this process is morally bankrupt. The company has wiped its hands clean of this situation and avoid taking responsibility for the damage they have caused. What has happened is morally wrong and has caused enormous emotional and financial distress. I strongly warn anyone considering building: do not go with Masterton Homes. If you value your time, mental health, and your family’s future, stay away. Based on my experience, choosing Masterton Homes has been one of the worst decisions I have ever made.

We built a custom evolve home through Masterton, and while the pre-construction process left a lot to be desired, the minute we entered construction with [Name Removed] & [Name Removed] everything moved faster and to a significantly higher quality.

took the time to consult with us on construction decisions that would impact aesthetic details and functionality of the home.

Given the build was custom, it was great to have [Name Removed] onsite throughout the process ensuring our vision could come to life, and the quality of the finished product was extremely high. Equally, at the end of construction [Name Removed] & [Name Removed] facilitated an expedited hand over process streamlining the financial administration and getting keys in our hand quickly.

I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Masterton Homes, and that is almost entirely thanks to the incredible Nadine Berlinger. From our very first meeting, Nadine was my number one contact and the ultimate helper.

Nadine was always on the ball, getting things done without any issues or problems. She handled everything seamlessly, and I truly believe that without her, things would have been so difficult to get done. She went above and beyond to make my life easier, handling every hurdle with a smile and total professionalism.

I am so happy with my Masterton home. If you are lucky enough to work with Nadine, you know you are in the best hands. Thank you, Nadine!
