Nostra Homes

Chose Nostra homes because the plan suited us and they also customised as we need without charging a lot. Sales Consultants Steve & Rosie were good and patient to accommodate all the changes at planning stage. Ken at Colour showroom was excellent and helped us get the right mix of colours. The building works started on time and Kathryn in office was great keeping us always in picture. Not but the least David, our Site supervisor was so easy to deal with. We had private building inspectors and David was patient enough to listen and fix what he ...Read more

How well was my build managed:
When i complained about the quality of the workmanship I would get responses from my build supervisor or build manager like "once you put furniture in you won't see it", "you know what subcontractors are like, its not their house they don't care", "I will look up the Australian standars too see how many holes I am allowed and I will fix up too that".
We would get updates for our build and when gone out for a inspection later they had not been done.

How was the workmanship: I have asked for things for about 5 mont...Read more

Building a house is an exciting experience. But it can be a stressful too, depending on how the process is managed from the beginning to the end.
We had consulted three different builders including Nostra at the initial stage. We picked Nostra to be our builder because the Sales Consultant was able to offer us a competitive quote which included some alteration to the floor plan to suit our requirements, and some management discounts to make the offer competitive.

It was a fairly smooth process for us because the Nostra staff were cooperative...Read more

We chose Nostra Homes as our builder for our first home, not knowing too much about them. Our experience was very positive from start to finish. All staff involved were very genuine and cared about the product they were selling, and made us feel at ease with their consistent education and patience throughout each stage. Our Building Coordinator, Diana Monteleone, was a much appreciated addition to our journey, having been with us from start to finish. Our Site Supervisor, Paul Oliveri, exceeded our expectations when managing our build, having b...Read more

We had few issues while the home was being built, the issues that came up were fixed and we were generally happy. BUT after hand over and the appliances were installed and landscaping done....well read it for yourself. 1. It took three goes and three kitchen sinks later to install the kitchen sink properly (after damaging two sinks they realised they had to get the stonemason back to cut out a bigger hole) 2. Three goes at cleaning and resealing concrete in the garage. 3. Four goes at fixing the rangehood flu. 4.Two goes at the electrical and ...Read more

We started our journey with Nostra Homes April in 2018, but the build could not start before October due to building permit was not ready. Our sales representative Belinda Baldacchino helped us out in the best way to finalise the house requirements and design. Ken was great in helping us decide the colours scheme throughout the house, and Diana Monteleone was just the best building co-ordinator in the business I have seen so far along with Kevin Agius, the site supervisor. Nostra hand over our house well ahead handover time we expected .There...Read more

We started our journey with Nostra Homes late in 2017, but the build could not start before August last year as the land was not released for title in Mernda Villages until June 2018. Our sales representative Alice Fields helped us out in the best way to finalise the house requirements and design. Ken was great in helping us decide the colours scheme throughout the house, and Diana Monteleone was just the best building co-ordinator in the business I have seen so far along with David Ventura, the site supervisor. We were updated with the build a...Read more

The Nostra sales team were brilliant, they were able to add or change items (within reason) without any problem and charged fairly for added extras, no outlandish fees or hidden costs for extra or upgraded items. Same goes for the construction costs, every cost including council fees etc was costed up front with no nasty surprises at the end, unlike some other builders. Ken in the colour & design dept understood our needs immediately and tailored a design package to suit our taste (modern-industrial) while meeting all the developer guidelines a...Read more

This is why you should pick Nostra Homes over any other builder in the industry....

After looking through display homes and researching online, we chose Nostra homes to build our first new construction home. Why? Well because of a couple of reasons mainly being that we were impressed by the inclusions which they call "standard" and many other builders had this as an extra $$, the layout we wanted and ended up choosing was something we didn't come across elsewhere & an extra plus being in the industry when you know of trades that have worked fo...Read more

Process with Nostra from start to lock-up stage went smoothly. [Name Removed] was the site supervisor and he was excellent to deal with, up dated me with every step of the build. Quality of workmanship is A1 with high standards except painters (shocking). Little disappointed with [Name Removed] not helping with issues with the storm water pit elevated from ground level which was right next to the crossover which [Name Removed] knew that I was doing horse shoe driveway. Nostra don't like to take any reponsibilty and don't like to fix minor issue...Read more

We couldn't be more happier with our decision of building with Nostra homes, it has been so satisfying seeing a home go from a plan to reality.

Kathryn Goetzl, the Customer Care Manager at Nostra, is absolutely exceptional. She always kept us in loop from the start of the project to finish. She was always willing to hear our concerns and addressed them in a professional attentive manner as per our expectations. Ken Johnstone, Interior Designer was great at our selections meeting. It was hard to make decisions with so much choice on hand but h...Read more

They say communication is everything & at Nostra Homes their Office & Customer Care Manager Kathryn communicates like no other. Kathryn is prompt,so efficient, always available for help & throughout our build there has not been one thing she couldn’t help us with & that to us speaks volume of her work ethic & knowledge.
We have this week moved into our new home & the overall workmanship in the house is great. I feel it’s been built to a high standard.
I would recommend Nostra to my family & friends. Throughout our build we had a few minor th...Read more
