Overall Happy – This is our 2nd build both through Ryan Smith. Even tho his job is in the sales side he proves over and over his clients come first. About the build let me just say in todays day an age it is nearly impossible to find a builder that doesn't have its faults. We had pleanty of frustrating moments, but in the end it was all worth it. We couldnt be… Read more

any happier with the outcome of our new build.

My only criticism is the management of the build was poor. It seemed in so many places valuable time was lost due to poor management of trades.

Instead of utilising the down time between different stages to rectify small issues and have everything to move forward. They were left to the very end when time was critical.

A good supervisor would make sure every stage is complete before moving to the next. And we saw the difference as soon as we had damo a new supervisor come on board. It was like finding a geni in a bottle.

Build quality i give New homes 8/10 Communication from our liaison 10/10 Support from sales rep throughout 10/10 Time frame to hand over 9/10 Value for money 10/10

Will we build again with New Homes Wa? Yes 100 percent we will how ever on our terms only.

Great First Home Builders Experience – From the start of our enquiry to prestart all the way to key handover, the process has been great and stress free. Of course, we were nervous as first home builders, but it has been a delightful experience, and we just love our new home. Great communication and updates from all staff throughout the entire process. A few minor issues when we moved in that have been rectified really quick! Highly recommend New Homes WA. Show details

Excellent Builder and Experience – Myself and my wife have been working with New Homes WA for some 18 months now on designing and building our new home and couldn't be happier. We looked at several builders and after bringing this down to 2 we decided to go with New Homes WA. Steve Bristo our building rep has been absolutely brilliant an no matter what we threw at him he always… Read more

found a solution that we we're all happy with and didn't also break the budget.

This was by no means a standard build and has taken a lot of planning and designing and we are super happy with the design and finishing's and price. Our pool went in about 3 months ago, slab went down around 2 months ago and internal walls are now up with brickwork about to start any day now. Have also been advised that the roof is scheduled just weeks after the bricks are finished. It is all moving along very quickly and smoothly and any small issues have been addressed immediately.

Can't thank the builders and Steve enough as I know many people are struggling with builders but certainly not the case here. Highly recommend this builder.

Fantastic build! Definitely recommend! – Overall a fantastic experience and build! I reached out to Chris Moore to help me with getting into my home as a friend of mine had referred him to me. I had been renting for such a long time and worked out I wasted so much money over the years. Chris helped me with the finance and designing my home which was rather fun as we changed it to… Read more

exactly how I wanted it. Also, I was lucky enough to get the government grants, at the time they were 55,000 altogether. There was a little bit of a delay in the build as it seemed a lot of people did the same thing as me when the grants were around and decided to start the process at the same time. I am still happy with how it all went and how New Homes dealt with everything for me. I had one issue with my bench tops but that was something to do with the supplier and they have now replaced them and looking brand new :) I have now moved in and already had my 6 months maintenance period and all the minor things have been fixed. There wasn't much to fix in saying that. Couldn't recommend New Homes enough!!

Stay away. I have built to homes previously with cheaper builders and new homes wa is far the worst. From extra costs being added to items being removed from original contract. Upgraded to the premiere package and basically got nothing in return. Due to upgrading to double brick, I lost the internal painting that I had already paid extra for, for… Read more

not credit back to me.

From humps in the concrete, of which will need to be grinded prior to any floor coverings being laid. All at my expense. Using the 10mm tolerance of a concrete floor, as an excuse to have 10mm humps over a 500mm radius.

Was also billed an extra $2000 for extra block clearing. Clean debris free in sandy conditions. The easiest conditions to build on. New Homes WA have withdrawn the fee with no explanation, after asking them to justify the amount.

Prestart repræsentatives have no idea on the process of building a house.

After inspecting brickwork with site supervisor and senior supervisor, was told the brick work was acceptable. Had an independent report done, Came with back many defects including some serious defect that were compliant with Australian Building Standards.

Save you time and money and boycott this building company.

AMAZING HOME BUILDING EXPERIENCE – New Homes WA has been a God-send when it came to building my first home. Before signing on with New Homes, I met with different companies and boy did I go through it. From over promised pitches to just plain aggressive sign on tactics. And then I met Ryan Smith and the New Homes WA team. Ryan and the team have, honestly, gone above and beyond my… Read more ·  1

expectations for what my first home build journey was going to be. Ryan never pushed, answered all my questions, helped me get what I wanted on my house plan without devaluing my wants and needs for my home. He pretty much, with his extensive professionalism, compassion and kindness, kept nudging me back to reality when I asked for the moon and stars but had a 1 person income budget. Ben Rowson at Westend Finance also had his work cut out for him but he did such an amazing job that, I am one of the lucky few to get the great financing I got in the recent changes in the market. He didn't cut my avo on toast budget! To Ryan, Ben and the whole team at New Homes WA, thank you for making owning and building my first home not just a reality but an exciting journey.

Building my home had its ups and downs – I want to express my gratitude for the outstanding service provided by two of your employees: Haylea and Amir. They truly went above and beyond to make me feel like a valued client. 1. Haylea’s (Client Liaison) Communication Skills: Haylea’s responsiveness was remarkable. She promptly addressed my questions and concerns, ensuring a smooth… Read more

experience throughout. 2. Amir, the Reassuring Building Supervisor: Amir handled repair issues with professionalism and ease. Despite challenges with other trades, he remained approachable and made my home his top priority. I’ve also shared constructive feedback with Kylie (Prime employee), confident that it will enhance future clients’ experiences. Thank you for having such dedicated team members!

Building my home had its ups and downs. Here’s what I learned: 1. Initial Interaction: No meet-and-greet with the team initially, but Prime Projects now includes it in their process after raising this concern. 2. Workmanship Concerns: Some tradies’ work fell short, especially electrical work. Power points were uneven, and conduit placement was impractical. I did have to take matters into my own hands and contact the director to reach a solution, not the outcome I expected but better than what I have initial be given for my handover. 3. Unexpected Power point Placement: A power point in my vanity wasn’t on the plans – frustrating, but I’ll adapt. Not able to have repaired without paying for this out of my own pocket with removing tiles, mirror etc. 4. Flooring Regret: The hybrid flooring from Trevor Carpets had expansion joint issues with my 10m hallway, which I had to research and address via social media to then have someone from this company to contact me to investigate. Eventually, a smaller, flatter joint replaced the large, discolored one during handover. However, it still didn’t match my initial vision, and I regret choosing this flooring. It would have been helpful if the salesman had informed me about this issue based on my house plans 5. Garage Height Consideration: It’s essential to take garage height into account during variations. 6. Word Choice: Be cautious when using the phrase “in lieu of” during decision-making. Ensure that the wording aligns with your vision. 7. Shower Head Example: For instance, in the guest suite bathroom, you requested two shower heads: a rainshower positioned in the middle of the shower and a typical shower head with an extender. However, you received only the rainshower, even though the documentation mentioned “in lieu of.” Despite this, you still paid extra for the feature. Remember to communicate clearly with staff to avoid misunderstandings during the pre-start process. In summary, communication matters, and understanding details prevents regrets and be prepared to spend much more in variations.

I am really happy with our house build, we took awhile designing this house & Ryan was so accommodating changing the drawings for us to achieve a great design comprising of 3 different areas (3 appartments) & it’s coming to life & only a few months off handover. Also Haylee has been fantastic dealing with all our queries/questions, nothing is too much trouble. I would highly recommend Prime Projects/New Homes Wa. Show details

A great experience with the build team after starting from the beginning again – Am only at the Start up stage and have a long way to go, however Larni-Jo and her team worked wonders to enable me to achieve my goal of building a house after having to start from scratch. She went out of her way to get me exactly what I was after in terms of a block in the suburb I wanted and then the house design of my choosing all while… Read more

keeping a very strict eye on maintaining my budget.

We changed things around to suit the area and positioning of the house on the block. I had what I thought was going to work in my mind set out, she enabled things to happen naturally and guided me along where I needed her experience.

All in all it was a great experience and I would not hesitate to recommend Larni-Jo and her team to help with building a house, especially those who have not done it before or are a little unsure of the process.

Good Workmanship Marred by Communication Failures – My recent experience with this builder started promising but quickly soured due to poor communication and professionalism.

quality. Their lack of accountability and disregard for my investment and dream home were disappointing. I urge potential customers to carefully evaluate their expectations against the company's standards. A notable incident involved omitted sliding doors in bedrooms, with proposed solutions proving unsatisfactory. My hope is that this feedback prompts improvements within the company, ensuring future clients receive a higher level of service.

Final product is disappointing – After dealing with the company for 3 years and 2 months, it is not something I would want to do again. Between been told things just to keep me quiet, the non communication through the whole process and the final product, the only thing that I’m happy about is that it’s finally finished. After finally getting the keys and been able to have a… Read more

close look at everything, the final product is pretty disappointing. Having to go through and literally clean the house completely as apparently when you spend $250,000 with a company, they don’t hire cleaners. All the benches and tiled walls, floor and all my black frame window and door frames just coated in white powder dust, paint and grout on the floor tiles, paint marks on a couple windows.

The finish on the plastering is below average and needs a lot of “finishing” and touch ups before I paint the walls. A lot of “pitting” on many of the walls.

The silicone under the tiles in the kitchen have dirt/defects in a number of places that are dried into the silicone.

Things they said they fixed never got done.. like the roof cover. As soon as it was installed I bought up the fact that at least 40+ screws had been over tightened causing the rubber seal to pop out which will cause issues in the wet weather. After a year and been told 3 times that it had been fixed, it has not. Same as the vent pipe for the bath rooms/toilets. Was bought up by my inspector that the vent pipe was too long and needed to be shortened to work correctly. They fixed 2 of the 4 vent pipes but not without causing a problem with the vent cover over the fan not been secure and moving around as well as an electrical cable moving so that the fan would hit it when turned on.

The patch work on the rendered wall put the front is shocking and the acid wash of the bricks is not applied properly so now it looks like someone has just gone around my house with a yellow spray can and painted my white bricks yellow! Extremely disappointed!!

As for the electrical side of things, they heap out and run basically all the power points on 1 fuse, so if we have use the tv, the microwave and say toaster at the same time it will trip the fuse (has happened multiple times now). Now I have to hire an electrician to seperate the PowerPoints to prevent this from happening, extremely frustrating!!

Honestly I could not recommend this company to anyone and as they are owned by the “Prime Group” it’s a shame they have such low standards.
