Unprofessional, ran away from repairs, and ignored requests. I had to lodge a dispute complaint to DBDRV – Despite many repeated attempts to request to NHS Build to attend all required repairs and to install the missing items that they forgot to install, unfortunately my requests have been repeatedly ignored for the last 6 months. I am very disappointed with this unprofessionalism. It has been very frustrating needing to chase this up throughout the… Read more
past 6 months and for these requests to continuously be ignored. I was forced to sign a form at Handover that I was satisifed with the build (with list of maintenance items agreed to be repaired), or otherwise threatened to pay interest if I don't sign the form or if I withhold the final payment. However, following the handover, they refused to attend most of the maintenance items and ignored my requests.
I had to lodge a formal complaint with Domestic Building Dispute Resolution Victoria. It is a very frustrating experience. I still hope they will do the right thing. I will revise my reviews with an update if they take responsibility for this and decide to resolve the issue fairly.
Worst Builder ever – Chasing with him for leakage issue in home for last 1 year and now he said that its too late you have to tell us before. Sick mentality. Worst Builder and his team members as well. Show details
Not much to say really - wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy – I have no words for my experience with NHS, wish I just went to any different builder and saved myself a lot of stress and unhappiness in the building process. Show details

There can be worse, it is cheap though – All these obviously paid 5-star reviews had me motivated to share a real one; NHS is by all means a cheap builder. Got them building at my property from 2018 to 2020; Before I report on the issues, please have a read on the two highlighted passages from NHS's usual building contract, which I attached to this review, as you should be aware of… Read more
them. Make sure to fix your contract's commencement date, having the base stage as commencement date is against industry best practice.
Now the issues:
- contracted to be delivered in 12 months, was not delivered before 18 months (prior to covid). - A turbulent project with no shortages of headaches - poorly managed client support, they often lost track of maintenance requests - In the moments they attended to repairs, within the three months warranty, works were often left incomplete and/or the property was left dirty (raw sewerage on top of cabinets at one instance).
The icing on the cake: One of NHS's managers came to meet me at the property at the end of the three months warranty. He proposed we committed to what he called a "Man's agreement" on the scope of required repairs. He claimed that we should hold this verbal-only agreement against our word as man, as he was a "man of his word".
Not sure what he intended to accomplish, maybe he was trying to put pressure on me face-to-face as the pressure he often attempted to deliver over the phone was not working. At this point NHS had failed many times on delivering their written commitments. A verbal agreement proposal was just laughable...
If you want a cheap build, and can cope with appalling customer support. Look no further!
End to end poor experience – 1. Signed Contract Dec-2020 - House Delivered Dec-2022 quoted 6 months 2. Didn't to honour the 1 year free CS Fitness Gym Membership 3. Was pressured to sign off and complete final progress payment, even though things weren't completed to my satisfaction. 4. Was promised outstanding items would be completed post handover but no one has actioned or… Read more
even replied. 4. No three months follow up was completed as promised. 5. Build quality and finish is overall poor, painting is shocking, wrong colours have been installed see attachment. 6. Extremely disappointed in the overall experience, even if they took their time to complete due to covid and labour shortages im happy to have waited but at least the house delivered should of been of quality & if items were agreed to be looked at the post handover, why are they not been looked at?
Tony De Pasquale and Doug Murgovski should be ashamed what young families have been delivered. Long gone are the days were people are true to their word.
Fantastic building experience from beginning to end! – It was a great experience dealing with NHS from beginning to end of construction. Everyone in the team is always ready to answer queries and patient to explain each building stage and the process itself. Did not have any major issues. Minor issues were dealt straight away by the site supervisor, shout out to daniel jackson for the job well done! … Read more · 1
To the admin staff, Pauline and Leah for giving me updates on financial aspect and building progress. And of course to Valissa for always making it so easy and for all the reassurances that made me and my wife feel secured with NHS. What a fantastic team! Highly recommended!
Poor customer service and poor quality – I have built with NHS homes and started the second project with them. Their customer service was poor. Poor workmanship May be cheap yet poor quality. More importantly they dont like an independent building supervisor. They put a closure that they will charge $1000 for admin fees. See bellow attached from the contract Show details

Pathetic and worst experience and appaling service! – I am surprised to see so many positive reviews to be honest. I wish I could give them negative review that's how frustrating this whole process has been, I was given a quote for a small single storey house back in July 2020 and after that this company took such long time to make some changes to floor plan and prepare contracts. The contract was… Read more
signed in February 2021 and till date the construction hasn't started! Whilst, I can understand the impact of restrictions but this construction should have started long time back regardless of restrictions due to the virus. It is just unbelievable how incompetent these people are. On top of that, no updates were provided and I had to email multiple times after every few weeks and ask for an update. I was at a point to cancel the contract altogether because they are supposed to start construction within 6 mnonths of the contract signing date. This has been my experience and construction hasn't even started yet. I wonder what else I will be going through once it does start. Beware of this company. You have been warned!
Magnificent Experience An Extremely Helpful and Reliable Builder Value for Money Great Service and Quality – New Home Shop has provided a 10 out of 10 service for me from start to end of the building progress and after sales service. There was 100% accuracy for everything they quoted and updates - Not a single surprise! If and whenever you have a question they respond and help. The sales person was Edmund Ding he provided a really great quotation and… Read more · 1
service and I am happy with the quotation as the price was fair and I get good quality goods. The Admin Team are champions provided me with every single update throughout the whole building and there was never a wrong update! The house was built smoothly on time with no surprise and delays. No hidden costs! The house was completed and it was really good quality only very minimal defects and Daniel the supervisor attended to these very helpful even till after hand over when there was a small issue that my tenant raise about a flicking light in the kitchen rangewood he came and fix it. Very Happy with the whole experience thus I have just signed up with them for my second house! Recommended my friend to build with them too and he is happy with the price and service todate.
Helpful and Satisfactory Customer Service! – When my husband and I decided it's time to build our first home, we commenced searching for home designs and builders. After looking through a number of house designs with no house floorplan that meet our needs. I decided to search online for a floorplan, which was how I got to know about NHS as they have a floorplan that meet our needs. Meeting… Read more · 1
Flor is about all we could ask for in an Agent. She is prompt, polite, accommodating and attentive to all our conversations. She patiently went through the home design and other processes involved in finalising the contract. She took time to explain every detail and particularly shared her personal experience with us, which helped us greatly. Flor has got great interpersonal relation skills, and a commendable industry experience, which made the whole process easy without breaking a sweat. Thanks to Flor, we have concluded the building contract and are really excited to commence our home building journey with New Home Shop. Looking forward to a sustained satisfaction and positive experience all through the building process to handover and beyond. Thanks Flora!

Customised Home Great Finished Product! – The build went as smooth as a build can, some issues came up throughout the build but were handled together diligently. I wasn't surprised as it was a customised home and my partner and i are very pleased with the final result. Our Sales consultant Matt was very helpful from when we met him and made sure to tailor the home to our budget along… Read more
with the inclusions we really wanted. The site supervisor Nick was very good throughout the build also and made us feel comfortable along the journey.
Being our first home we had our reservations especially being a smaller builder, but to be honest the end result was a greatly finished home that we are happy with.
Thanks NHS.
Not recommended!!! – Been putting of writing a review, thinking it will get better..but no.. issues after issues still. They charge $1k for a contract variation but don’t follow the variation. They charge for the upgrade but put in the normal one, and they put in the wrong floor color! I mean, how incompetent is that?! In their defense, they are willing to correct… Read more
it, but says “it’s gonna take time, that is the reality of it” We’ve already been waiting for nearly a YEAR for a 179sqm home! That’s how long they take to build!
We’ve hired a private inspector, and of course, found heaps of issues. Paid for a reinspection, only to find out that NHS haven’t rectified the issues. That is how unprofessional they are.
Every time you email them, it takes days for them to reply. You need to call them to follow up.
I’m sure there is no perfect builder, but as first-home buyers, our experience with them was disappointing. Do not recommend NHS at all!
Helpful and Great HOME builders – I decided to go with NHS for my first home. I had heard of their great customer service, communication, during the pre, mid and post construction.

questions and even my silly questions, they got back to me quickly every time I emailed them. The colour selections was made easy by the experience and expert inside into selecting the right colours for the inside and outside of my house, by the stuff at NHS. I hope to deal with them in the future for future investment house and work with this wonderful, experience, attentive and helpful New Home Shop stuff. Thank You Flor for every things you have done for me and my family.

knowledge, his shared personal experience with building/buying, willingness to go above and beyond and his relaxed nature have made the experience so far an absolute pleasure! Thanks to Ivan we have just secured land and are very excited to begin our building journey with New Home Shop.
So far so good – We are so far happy with the process although our only issue was that valuation from the bank was lower than the prize of the build but NHS gave us a bit of a discount at the end, thanks for the effort of Supret. We are hoping that we will be happy at the end and outcome of the build. Communication about the building stages is great. Thank you Show details · 1

New build – The NHS Regional Manager in the Sth Est office (Kerri) is making my dreams come true! Not only is she very knowledgeable, experienced and solutions driven, she is very professional and lovely to deal with. I have made many changes and her attitude is always friendly and advising.

NHS were an absolute breeze to work with! – I thought that building a house as a single during the pandemic was going to be an absolute nightmare, but I was so wrong!

through to the final day of handover - NHS made the entire process really enjoyable. Any problems that I thought might arise were dealt with swiftly with minimum fuss, and I am really appreciative of Ben, Valissa, Leah, and the team for everything they did during the construction (and afterwards as well!). I would happily build with NHS again!

to suit our family. Everyone at New Home Shop through this process has made it as stress free as possible, even helping us make last minute adjustments to ensure our move post settlement would be as comfortable as possible. Daniel the site supervisor was amazing in our last few weeks before settlement also making any changes that we wanted and fixing anything we needed before settlement.
I would recommend New Home Shop anytime and would happily build through them again!
NHS was fantastic during the build and even 2 years later! – My wife and I built with NHS 2 years ago, downsizing into what will be our last home.

Tony was instrumental in making this happen and Doug along with his building department were fantastic in… Read more · 1
the way they interacted with us. They kept us in the loop the whole way through.
Nick was our supervisor and took the time to explain everything to us during our inspections and checked in with us 3 months after the build was completed.
Since then we had a plumbing issue and we didn't know what to do, so we contacted NHS and they remembered us! the building department took down our concern and sent over a crew to check the issue. It was handled very promptly and the care was evident in trying to help us through the issue.
I highly recommend NHS as your next building option.

When we needed help NHS came through! – We had a block of land that was due to settle within weeks, unfortunately we couldn't follow through with the purchase due to health ailments popping up. Up until a few weeks ago we had other builders list our block with their homes on in half heartedly and I saw Matt N quite prominently listed in the north region with packages. I decided to… Read more · 1
reach out to see if he could help us and from the moment he took the call he has been fantastic with trying to assist us.
He gave us a realistic expectation and in return he listed our block in a package that was aggressively priced to help us have the best chance to sell the block on. 2 weeks after listing the package and to our complete surprise it was SOLD! a big relief!!
Matt was great throughout the process, assisting both us and the purchaser through the process to wrap things up smoothly, so appreciative of his efforts.
We offered Matt something for his help, he was pleased to just help us out... we did however twist his arm and organize him a bottle of scotch to say thank you.
Highly recommend Matt and NHS as a company.

planning your dream home. She has been very understanding and helpful in design, permit and construction stages. My house is a custom design and NHS has been very cooperative and supportive with expert advice during the whole design phase. I have found NHS extremely attentive to details and value for money.
