I am extremely satisfied with the overall build quality and experience. The construction was completed within the projected timeline, which was impressive. The 90-day maintenance process was also smooth, with most issues being minor and cosmetic. I appreciated the prompt attention to these items. Overall, we're thrilled with our new home, and I would recommend Wisdom Homes to others. Show details · 1
Wisdom Homes. Ambassador 36. And particularly the maintenance department at Wisdom 5 Stars – I have recently completed building a new home with Wisdom Homes. Namely the Ambassador 36. My dream home on a golf course. The experience as whole was good. A few issues during the build, even close to having to go to arbitration due to a tiling issue, but overall due to good people at Wisdom. A good experience. The sales and tender process was… Read more · 1
extremely good. Hennie Roos at sales and then Joseph Wright at tender were both so helpful and knowledgeable. I believe Joseph is now in sales so find him or Hennie if you are thinking of building and I'm sure he or Hennie will guide you very well. When it came to choosing colours , fixtures and all things related to the house the Wisdom Homes people at CanvasQuarter were so good at their job, so helpful. Without them our house would not look as good as it does. I do not include Di Lorenzo tiles in this group. If i was Wisdom Homes i would find a new tile provider but that is just my opinion. If i had my time again i would of used an outside supplier as they were the only ones during the whole process that provided issues, and to me large issues with choice of tile, what was supplied, how it was laid and then the resolution process to the problem During construction we had Anthony Luc as our site supervisor. A good guy and was very forthcoming with weekly updates of progression, which gave me great confidence in what they were building for us. When a little bit of trouble arose late in the build its fair to say i lost a bit of confidence in Anthony but overall a very good supervisor. Michael Arnott from the legal team was a big help to us in rectifying the tiling issue and getting the build back on track. Without him stepping in to find a solution I don't know what would have happened. Another of the good Wisdom people . Its a common theme. This may sound a little strange but the best part of the process and what restored my faith in Wisdom Homes was the people that control Maintenance. Our build was completed a few days prior to me leaving for overseas for more than 2 months. Wisdom were kind enough to not count that as part of the 90 day maintenance agreement, so as to give us time upon return to see what needed rectifying. It's here we met Tony Blazevic and what an absolute gentleman he is and a credit to Wisdom Homes. He was meticulous is fixing any of the things that needed to be rectified. From replacing glass window that were scratched during cleaning to tiny little paint issues. Nothing was too big and nothing was too small, He just wanted us to be happy with our home, and largely due to him we absolutely love our home. Also a special mention to Michelle Teal from the maintenance department, she was a pleasure to deal with. Its these 2 people that redeemed what would have been a sub par experience ( because of the tiling issue only) into something that was worth all the effort and cost. Both Tony and Michelle get a 10 star rating, not 5. And the trades that came to rectify the problems also shine light onto Wisdom, They were all fantastic, which without knowing for sure, I credit Tony for this as he was the supervisor of them. So all in all Wisdom built us a beautiful home which we love and i would use them again if i ever built another new home. I would just use a different tile provider than what Wisdom currently has.
Construction Co-Ordinator - Sarah – Being my first home experience, Sarah was fantastic and made the process easy. True individual that showed customer care and was always working in background. With a few hiccups, Sarah was onto the issues quickly and her communication was prompt in resolving the matters. I have highest recommendation for Sarah and would not hesitate to request her services again if we are able to do another project with Wisdom Homes. Thanks Sarah Show details · 1

Be careful with their recommendations, some consultants may not tell you the truth, legal dispute in progress – After years of planning, we finally took actions to make our dream homes. Similar to some home owners, we started our tender process with two seperate builders simultaneously so that we can compare and contrast both information on the same page. Eventually, Wisdom Homes hide something and won the job. We spent nearly a year and paid $50k, right… Read more
before DA lodgement, they rush back and raised the contract price by $150k at least saying variation as per council requirement…WTH, they are scammers indeed!

We chose Wisdom Homes mainly because of the exceptional experience we had with our first consultant, Hassan. From the very beginning, we felt confident and well taken care of. We were cautious and skeptical when selecting a builder, especially given the current market and the challenges it presents. However, Hassan immediately put us at ease. He… Read more · 1
allowed us the space to conduct our due diligence while remaining readily available to answer any questions we had. This approach gave us the confidence to move forward with Wisdom Homes.
The flexibility we were granted in designing our home was a huge plus, and Hassan expertly guided us through each step of the process. During the tender presentation, Gino Cerasoli was outstanding in explaining everything clearly and in a way that was easy to understand. As a first-time homebuyer with no professional experience, this clarity was crucial. Gino also provided valuable tips on how to stay within budget and avoid unnecessary upgrades. He made a few design suggestions which dramatically improved the layout as well. We couldn't think of those ourselves. The willingness to keep working on it until we reached a point where we were happy is truly appreciated. Their deep industry knowledge helped steer us in the right direction while still allowing us to make adjustments and amendments that were in the best interest of our home. Gino also gave us a clear overview of potential challenges with council approval, making it easier for us to create a plan that met our expectations.
Gino truly went above and beyond to make this process smooth and stress-free. After meeting with several builders, I can confidently say that no other consultants were as professional, knowledgeable, or attentive as they were. Gino (and Hassan) are invaluable assets to Wisdom Homes, and their dedication has far exceeded all of our expectations.
Great experience with Wisdom Homes so far – So far, my experience with Wisdom Homes has been quite positive, and I’m currently at the pre-construction stage of my project. The contract presentation went smoothly, and I felt that everything was clearly outlined from the beginning. My requirements were addressed promptly, and I appreciated how responsive the team was to my queries. When it… Read more · 1
came time to the Canvas Quarter Selection, the advisers I worked with were professional, and the selection process itself was easy and well-managed. Everything was clearly explained, making it a smooth and efficient process.
When we moved to the pre-construction phase, we did made some changes to our original plans. Although it took some time to get CDC approval, during this time, the communication was excellent and no delays come from Wisdom end. I was always kept in the loop with clear guidance on the next steps, and all my emails and calls were responded to in a timely manner, which helped reduce our stress around the process. Difficulties were well handled.
Overall, so far, the experience has been very good. The team has been professional and responsive .I’m feeling confident as we move closer to the construction phase.
Esperence 27 (Mk II) – We are delighted to share a review for Kate Boggs from the Wisdom display village at Box Hill. We are return customers to Wisdom after having built the Esperence 27 in The Ponds in Sydney in 2012. Upon our decision to relocate it was a no brainer for us that we wanted to build the same house again. We walked in to the display village at… Read more · 1
Box Hill and were upset to learn that Wisdom no longer had this house design on their repertoire and that they were not actively building in Chisholm where we had purchased our new block of land. Luckily for us Kate was right on it and reached out to her management team asking the question of whether it was a possibility for us to get our same house again (fully upgraded this time around) in Chisholm. I'm delighted to share that we were quickly given a solid yes to go ahead. Thank you Kate for making our dream of owning and living in our Esperence 27 Mk II in Chisholm a reality. Also for making our experience with you such an enjoyable one. With our kind regards, Paula and Rick.

We were corresponding with Gino Cerasoli and had a fantastic experience working with him. He met with us at very short notice, worked efficiently throughout the process, and even continued to assist us after handover. He responds quickly, takes action promptly, and made the entire experience seamless. Gino is absolutely fantastic at what he does. Show details · 1
My wife and I had a great experience building with Wisdom Homes. We were fortunate to work with Ray as our Site Supervisor and Michelle as our Maintenance and Warranty Supervisor. Both were professional, responsive, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Show details
Michelle made the entire post build warranty process stress free, very onto everything and works very fast in making sure any issues are resolved. Very happy with the service. 5 stars Show details · 1
When we decided to build with Wisdom Homes we looked at the reviews. There were many with 5-stars and a few with 1-star. Sadly, we feel a 1-star review is warranted from us. We did not even get as far as signing the tender. There were too many examples of dishonesty and/or miscommunication and/or mistakes that we felt it unwise to proceed and entrust any more money to them. Show details
Wisdom is disappointed to hear your feedback.… Read more (+1 reply)

As a first home owner, I was bit sceptical about the post handover maintenance from Wisdom. Then comes Tony who took over after build maintenance and must tell that he was always there to listen and very accomodating, supporting and helped me to fix all the post handover issues identified. Still happy that I have him to support in case any issues… Read more · 1

Building with Wisdom Homes in Hills Shire Council – 1. Best part of our customer journey was to have a knoweldgeable and professional SS - Ryan S. Top Bloke. 2.

their segment is key to it and makes customer feel safe and let them enjoy the journey with less stress. Keep enhancing the portal with more security & control around it (had a glitch towards end of the journey when someone uploaded other customers data on my partal comprimising the privacy). 3. Lastly, the quality of the product as showed to us and we selected them were top notch and do make a difference when it comes to see final finish house.

Thanks again to the Wisdom homes team.
Building a home requires Patience, it's a long process – Reflecting on the overall build period which took us just over 2 years (from placing initial deposit and receiving the keys) it has certainly tested our patience. However this is no different with any other home builder, so I thought to highlight my experience during the construction process with Wisdom homes. In reality it's likely you'll… Read more · 1
interact with several site supervisors during the construction period, specially if it's a large organisation like Wisdom homes. We built our home in the Gables (2765) and we interacted with four site supervisors including an area supervisor during the build, some of which were capable than the others.
What I found motivating is that when things don't go to plan, Wisdom homes have a good administrative team who listens and make corrective actions. One individual who I would like to call out for her great attitude and professionalism is Tracy Gomes who was our Construction coordinator. Tracy was basically our conduit for communications, clarifying queries & raising concerns during the construction period until we received the keys. Tracy was quite responsive and accurate, which is a must have attribute in a home build. I'm sure Tracy would have managed many clients at any given point in time, but her communications were very personalised which drove to progressive conversations (I didn't have to repeat myself over and over)
Overall I'm quite happy with the build with Wisdom homes, specially knowing that there will be someone who you can talk to when things need attention.
Wisdom Wisdom – On time construction delivery. Workmanship was good. Construction completion is on time. Site Supervisor is courteous and helpful.

questions or concerns. Juliana is a fantastic asset for Wisdom and should be rewarded as such!
Unfortunately the same can’t be said for Wisdom’s pre-construction processes. It has taken 12 months from the first tender to our file being moved into construction. Despite our best efforts to turn things around quickly, including all the many selection and design decisions, Wisdom made a number of errors with our plans that delayed us by many weeks. These were often errors relating to the CDC rules which were not picked up by anyone in Wisdom and only came to light when the plans were submitted for CDC certification, which is just unacceptable for a professional building firm.
Wisdom’s administrative processes generally are also very slow, it can take weeks to get variations costed or plans updated even for relatively simple changes. Most builders suffer from this but after our first build Wisdom promised us we would see significant improvements - if anything we had more frustrations and delays this time around.
We love Wisdom’s designs and their flexibility around floor plan changes and selections. We know their build quality is fantastic but they really need to completely revise their planning processes and properly resource their teams.
Wonderful team – During pre construction stage we have interacted with Summer, Jessica and Kate. Each of them have provided valuable suggestions and feedback which helped us to close the loop in time. They have made our journey easy and ensured all the requirements are met. Summer was keeping an eye on overall progress and was helping in timely closure of all the doubts and clarifications. It was indeed a 5 star experience. Thanks Summer and Team. Show details · 1
If lack of communication is what you seek, this is the builder for you! – I am writing to formally express our deep dissatisfaction with our experience with Wisdom Homes, and to bring to your attention a series of issues that have left us thoroughly disappointed with the services provided thus far. First and foremost, we have experienced an appalling lack of communication and professionalism from our contract… Read more
presenter, Karissa James, and her manager, Gavin Phibbs. Despite numerous attempts to reach out and discuss the multiple issues we've encountered with our floor plans, we have not received any timely responses or updates from either of them. We are 6 weeks from contract signing and they still can’t get correct floor plans. This lack of responsiveness has been not only frustrating but also deeply disheartening.
In stark contrast, Vince from Sales at Marsden Park has been the sole source of support and assistance throughout this process. He has gone above and beyond to help us, often taking on the responsibilities of Karissa and Gavin, who have been unresponsive and unhelpful. Vince's dedication and professionalism have been outstanding, and we believe he deserves recognition for his exceptional service, including a well-deserved pay rise and promotion.
Furthermore, we were repeatedly promised that, as returning customers to Wisdom Homes, we would be given priority for our build. Regrettably, this has not been the case, and we have felt let down by these unfulfilled commitments.
This ongoing lack of communication and the broken promises have made our experience with Wisdom Homes exceptionally frustrating and disappointing. As loyal customers, we expected a higher level of service and support.
We sincerely hope that you will take our concerns seriously and take immediate steps to address these issues. We look forward to a prompt response to our concerns and a resolution to the problems we have encountered.
