Poor Quality and unresponsive builder
I bought a built brand new house about two years ago from this builder.
The only positive thing I can say about the builder is the fact that the house layout can be customised. This house has an excellent and a very efficient layout.
Having said that, after a few months, I started finding dozens of cracks in the house. There were problems like doors not closing, gaps in skirting etc. Some cracks are as big as 70 cm long.
I reported these issues to their customer care and maintenance, and only after many many follow-ups, they finally did a p...
Read morelumbing inspection after a few months from my initial report. The outcome was that, there were cracks in the drainage causing movement in the soil, resulting in cracks in the house. According to the builder all those cracks were in the drain portions that were underneath the external concreting work that I had done after the handover. Therefore the builder had a convenient excuse and asked me get the drain repairs done, following which they would allow a few months for the house to resettle, and then work on the cracks, and other issues inside the house. I argued that there is no chance of drains getting damaged by external concreting work. The drain pipes were at least 80 cm underneath the ground. This was not acceptable to the builder. I had no choice but to get the drain cracks repaired at my own expense. Now, while the repairs were being done, one of those drain damage was found 'Under the Foundation Slab'. I immediately contacted the builder's customer care over phone about it, and also wrote many emails. The customer care told me that this information has been passed on to the maintenance team. Until the next 4 months no one from maintenance contacted my regarding it, given the severity of the issue that the crack was under the foundation slab. After 4 months when the building manager called me, he said that he had no idea about my email or my call to customer care, and did not know about the crack under the foundation slab until that moment. I don't know how to react to this. This was unbelievable. I had even sent a pdf with the pictures of how things have gotten worse inside the house in every room. This includes gaps betwen floor and wall tiles in all bathrooms.

Good experience
Fantastic job done by Binal, Reece and the construction team. We have a beautiful house and living here for the past 2 months has been good. Design and planning was good, however pre-construction experience was not good. Other than that the build went smooth and we got our keys within time. thanks Binal and Reece.

Awesome Experience So Far
Overall experience was really good. Started off with the floor plan, Deepak was really helpful in finding out our requirements and presented few plans. We made some changes and their architectural team was happy to accommodate those changes. Deepak organized the meeting with their design team so that there is no communication gap. It all went well. The site manger Reece kept us informed of every stage as we could not go to the site often. The admin staff Brigette, Jeanette, Millaray were also very quick in terms of responding to my questions. The house looks beautiful. So far so good. Good work U Homes: Unique Build. I hope I will be getting the after handover support as well the same way.

Horrible experience with U Home and Unique Build - don't ever build with them
If you have a choice never ever build with this U Homes (Unique Build ) builder, such a pain to deal with if any issues arise after handover the house. Quality is poor and I build so far so many houses but I even seen this type of builder after handover, getting response takes long time and never replies on time with Proper commitment of resolving issues. I have build my house with this builder in Stonehill etstae in Baccusmarsh, after handover raised few maintained items but never attempted to fix and then got cracks in the house, to look with...
Read more out any investigation simple pushed on me due to concrete around the house the cracks came in eventhough engineering report says water is draining away from the dwelling. Director [Name Removed] had a meeting with me and advised do the AGI Drain around the house and then let us know we will repair all cracks, I spent lot of time gone through stress and spend money around 15k to install AGI drain so that builder can be on his words to fix all internal cracks and issues, during communication so many manipulations and gave me hard time until I do AGI drain, after doing the installation now builder replying all issues in the house cannot be fixed as part of warranty. It's such a frustrating with this builder not with standing on words to fix as part of warranty and even few maintenance items also raised more than a year still not fixed. Now tenants are living in the house main door is not opening and they got only access via garage door and also garage rear door also not closing, this very critical in safety to tenants which was send email to builder by my property manager but they are not caring to fix. After discussing with [Name Removed] (U Homes builder) he is clearly giving me advise Unique build will not be fixing any issues and said to go ahead legally to resolve the issue, this mean these builders are just making their money and not supporting customers when they have issues with the build which should be fixing as part of warranty. Even they are reluctant to give director [Name Removed] contact email and legal team email to communicate directly to resolve it. I will be doing this review on all other forums and Google so other people will not suffer same as me. They are giving only choice to customers to proceed legally.
Hi Rammy,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and we are disappointed to hear you’re not satisfied with the service provided. We have been successfully building homes for the past 13 year...
Read mores and have many happy clients, our intention is to help all our clients and resolve any issues amicably. It is unfortunate in this instance the issue that has arisen is due to works conducted after handover by other contractors. However, in all our communications we have worked with our engineers to find and communicate the best solution to resolve the issue with you. We have extended an invitation to you to meet with our managing director to work through the issue, our team will continue to communicate with you directly.
Hi There,
I don't see any commitment from UHomes (Unique Build) to address issues as soon as possible. Always been slow in reply and never saw prompt response. I have not seen any positive reviews unt...

Great Experience
Huge Thanks to Deepak Miglani for helping me Build my Custom home & answer all my questions and explaining the whole process. Also his full support and guidance throughout the process. A family home felt so difficult and out of reach for me until i met Deepak. Absolutely pleased with the whole process and our piece of mind to build our family home. I definitely recommend Deepak for hassle free & smooth process to your Dream Home.

Wonderful Experience
My experience building with Uhomes has been fantastic. From the design stage to the final handover everyting worked out without any stress or pain. The upgrages were good valur for money. I would say cost wise they are very competitive. The good and timely customer service was the key for me. All issues were addressed on time.

Home construction
U Home is the best home construction company in Melbourne west. Customise floor plan, not significant price difference from initial quotation to building contract. The team at U Home will go beyond and over to look after their customer. Big thank you to Ash and team for marking entire home construction journey so smooth and easy going. Well deserved 5*. Must recommended.

Hi Peter
While we appreciate all feedback from our clients we would like to note that firstly, we did not build this property for you, you were not our client, you purchased this property from our client as a new purchaser of a residential home....
Read more Secondly, we note, that you attended to your own concreting/paving works around the perimeter of the property, and as good faith, despite your own works being arranged, we attended an inspection of your property and arranged for camera check of the drainage issues under the slab of your own works, not the house slab. In which, the results showed star picket penetration holes from your own concreter, doing your own works. We requested that you have a licensed plumber attend to the rectifications and to let us know when this had been done. Thirdly, we confirm that you spoke with our construction manager, and advised that the rectification works were complete, and our construction manager explained to you that the property needed to settle, and we would contact you once enough settling period had occurred. Our construction team will continue to work with you as previously advised. Thank you UHomes Customer Service Team
