Professional Builder
As this was our first house build we chose Oakford Homes mainly on the basis of customer reviews. Their quotation to build our house was not the cheapest nor the most expensive. We found Oakford's contract and selection process easy to manage and appreciated the guidance and help from Oakford's professionals.
Throughout the construction we were overseas and kept updated on progress by Oakford's Project Manager. We have been delighted with the quality of build and finish with the house. After handover there were minor issues which Oakford resol...

Great customer service and a good overall experince
Oakford Homes provided a hassle free and good experience with the build of the house. Being a first house build, all our questions and enquiries were responded to promptly throughout the planning and building phase. We found them to be a very honest and fair priced builder especially for a custom design home with predetermined appliances and fixtures.
The build quality of the house was very good with excellent attention to detailing and finishing. All the selection processes was very inviting and open ended with transparent price variation....
Read more The quality of all the internal fixtures including the cabinetry through Aldon Cabinet makers, doors and toilet fixtures were excellent and thoughtful in terms of placement and future maintenance (without our input as we didn't pay that much attention to detail, Eg: at what height the towel rails were put on or the tiling between the bath and the wall to be raised so it can be accessed for cleaning). Although, they have a 3 month post-handover maintenance, some urgent fixes/additions were carried out as soon as notified (same day in our case). The building supervisor along with the administration staff and the contractors were a pleasure to work and second to none, even with last minute changes to the build and post handover fixes. Oakford Homes definitely demonstrated the upside of building our own house with an absolutely stress free process and just great customer service. Would happily use the builder for a second build.BronteMcCracken

A great experience
We purchased a block of land with a small slope and we required a builder that was experienced, that's why we chose Oakford Homes. A very high standard of finish throughout the build, from the planning process, concrete slab, right through to tiling, painting and fixtures and fittings. The build was managed by a very competent supervisor. Everything very organised during selection process, with backup available if required.
A building company that is very organised and the service and support was very much appreciated. They made building a pleasure.

Extremely happy with our Custom Home built by Oakford Homes
Our experience with Oakford Homes has been exemplary, they truly are the quintessential building company in South Australia.
Stacy and I purchased a block with a troubling slope and needed a building company with practical knowledge and experience to help us with our project. We customised our house to the block; minimising soil removal and retaining walls, while maximising the size of the house and using the natural features and view to our advantage. We took these basic drawings to an Oakford display centre and two very competent sales wom...
Read moreen discussed in detail with us the experience Oakford have building custom homes, answering all questions and concerns we had. With this in mind, we signed with confidence to start the build as it fell into our tight budget. Our experience from those first few meetings didn't change, we then went on to meet Oakford Homes management and selections staff. We had an initial struggle with council to get the house approved as council wanted the house to be lowered another .7 meters. It doesn't sound like much however, the combination of slope and rock meant it was another budget breaker. Oakford Homes worked tirelessly with us to get the house approved at the original level and on its way (thank you). Oakford Homes was very helpful and contactable with any changes or selections issues and made the whole selection process a breeze. Throughout the whole process Oakford Homes quoted fairly and there was at no stage any horrible surprises. I found this to be a great stress reliever and from my opinion as a customer it was excellent! We had found a quality company that was affordable, honest and reliable.1 comment

Their finish quality was bad.
Their paint finish was terrible. Paint runs and spatter from the paint spraying causing rough surface finish. Some areas looked like it had only one coat. Spent the week sanding all the skirting and cleaning paint specks off the door handles and chrome balustrade. They should not have accepted a poor paint job like what we got.
On the plus side the cabinetry was excellent. [name removed] did a great job and their process was fantastic.

Happy with Oakford
We built two investment homes with Oakford. They were a pleasure to deal with from sales, estimating, selections and during construction. We were very happy with the quality of the workmanship and the site manager was easy to contact and responded to any issues promptly. We have built before and this was a much more pleasurable experience and we would use them again.

Happy With Oakford
My wife and I can thoroughly recommend this builder. The sales consultant was very helpful during the design phase. The selection process was seamless with a lot of advice given on color, design.
We were impressed with the quality of the Oakford’s standard fittings. We only had to make a few upgrades.
We were on site during most of the build and were impressed with the quality of workmanship.
In particular we were impressed with the building supervisor for his attention to detail as well as his willingness to keep us up to date with all aspects of the build. True to their word the few things that needed attending to after the build were completed to our satisfaction.

Fantastic builder – smooth and easy process
We build our home with Oakford. We are very happy with the home and the whole experience.
We kept hearing horror stories of bad builders and as a result I was really nervous. We were presently surprised how smooth everything went.
I have to say we had a great supervisor Darko - I would request him if possible. He was amazing - he would pre-empting problems before they would happen and if he saw anything delaying the build he would let us know. I would often call just to find out what the next step was which I'm sure would have been annoy...
Read moreing but he was always patient and explained things well. We have already referred a few people to the company as a result. You often hear that once the house is handed over that a builder doesn't want to hear from you - this was not true at all - had a few minor things attended to promptly without fuss.Allan and Suzanne HughesAdelaide, South Australia

Can't praise enough
We moved into our new home in March this year. The whole building process was stress free. From sales through to selections and site supervision all Oakford Homes staff were excellent to deal with. It is the best experience building a house we have ever had.
We really can't praise Oakford enough and certainly can't pick a fault. If we were ever to build again we wouldn't hesitate to build with Oakford Homes and we are very happy to recommend them to others.
Oakford were just fabulous and we have a lovely home.
Staff were excellent and helpful and very responsive to our requests

Thank You
We are building with Oakford at the moment, and are extremely pleased with the progress. Tradies are there every day doing something new. The advice and help we have had from [name removed] has been immeasurable. The service from the administration staff has been wonderful. Nothing has been too much bother. [name removed], the project manager, is always on the ball to discuss any changes etc. Couldn't be happier with the quality of the building and the happy, friendly service along the way. Thank you.
Service, quality, efficiency.
Outstanding - 5 stars if that is the most I can give!
Right from the very beginning with our sales consultant to the very end, our whole experience with Oakford Homes has been extremely enjoyable with polite, friendly staff and contractors.
We have built four times and building a home at the best of times can be daunting and stressful but Oakford Homes made our experience stress free and enjoyable.

Thank you to Ron(Housing Consultant), Juliette(Project Co-ordinator), Sue (Client Laison) and all of the Oakford staff and contractors for a well built, beautiful, comfortable home.

An individual home!
We had so many variations in creating our bespoke home that lesser builders would have shown us the door. But "no", Oakford were kind, patient and attentive and what a delightful result of which both the owners and builders are proud - we actually put on a lttle party with the builders to celebrate the outcome! We felt that we were dealing with family - decent and reliable people indeed.
Despite being a builder in my own right for many years it must be said that it is doubtful that I could have completed this significant project within Oakf...
100/100 Very Happy!
We are very pleased with all aspects of our build and the service we received.
We have found all Oakford staff to be extremely cooperative and selection staff very helpful. The whole experience of building with Oakford has been a pleasure and we would have no hesitation in recommending Oakford Homes to anyone considering building a new home.
My wife and I are both over 81 years old and friends question why we are building at our age. We say what's age got to do with it when you have a good builder!
Excellent staff, fantastic service!

Super finish at a budget price
When we designed our new homes, we didn't expect to find it so hard to find a budget builder who would build a house with a 45 degree roof pitch. Oakford were happy to take it on and at the right price too. The people in the office were so professional and couldn't be more helpful and the tradesmen who worked on the build were excellent. The homes have caused quite a stir in the village- everyone comments on how good they look. Set in the heritage precinct, they fit in with the surroundings very well.
A most enjoyable experience. All the tradesmen were very friendly and obviously highly skilled.
An excellent experience
This is the second Oakford Homes house I've built. Going back a second time on a purchase as big as your home says a lot. Even though this is a project home, the standard goes way beyond many others out there.
The staff I had dealings with couldn't have been more helpful. the Site Supervisor certainly knows what he's talking about. He listened to me when I had concerns and we worked together to make the project come together.
I have built quite a few times over the years and I have to say Oakford Homes helps to make an exciting thing run smoothly.

A fantastic experience from start to finish.
At 70 building our first home was a daunting prospect for us. We looked at what seemed like 100 homes before finding what we wanted. Oakford were happy to make some changes to the plan to make the home exactly what we needed. We are delighted that we built with Oakford, the quality of the home is fantastic and we’re proud to show it to our family and friends.

Read morerouble. Our site supervisor was marvelous and very quick to respond to queries. He had high standards for the finished product and suggested minor changes for a better end product. There were two very minor problems on handover (a missing oven manual and a kitchen cabinet door which squeaked) these were promptly fixed. The welcome basket was a lovely surprise and a thoughtful touch. Overall it was a smooth and stress free exercise. We have no problem recommending Oakford Homes. The range of selections available as standard inclusions surpasses what many other builders offer. I feel like we got excellent value for money.Questions & Answers

How can I obtain a ball park price on an Oakford design so that I will have some idea of what I can spend on a block of land..?

First time home builders and we are looking into Oakford homes but the quotes we are getting seem to be a lot cheaper than other companies which seems to worry me slightly. I was wondering if anyone has built with them and could give a rough idea of how much the final cost was compared to the starting quote? we are not looking for fancy high class products as we are young and would rather build within budget and upgrade latter where possible. Any help or advice would be very welcome. Thanks

I wouldn't be too concerned with the price. We found oakford to be exceptional value and having built before understood all the different specs. They're specs are in most cases better than the others for a lot less. I'm not sure why, maybe ask them, but I suspect their margins are smaller and therefore you save.
The quality wasn't compromised either.
I think you will find building with them and very easy process.
Who did you end up building with? And what was your experience like?
