reviews before you think of going with this Queensland mob. They took FIVE AND A HALF YEARS TO BUILD OUR HOUSE. Two and a half years later it is falling apart along with the dodgy electrics from TAPP ELECTRICAL and the Bunnings fixtures and fittings that they put into our upgraded package. They have zero concern or respect for you as their valued customer or your future dream home. They have no shame, integrity, no sense of guilt, not a scrap of professionalism, attention to detail and I can safely say there is no pride in their product.!!! If I was them, or even working for them I would be mortally ashamed and embarrassed for the product they supply and with the lack of respect, ethics and morals in which it is delivered. The list of things that was wrong with this place when we first moved in was endless. Two and a half years later and the list is three times longer. You as a consumer deserve so much better than this. This is your money and your biggest investment, if you want something really beautiful and done with honesty, precision and pride then you need to swipe left immediately!!! I have reported them twice and I really hope others who have had the same misfortune have done the same!!! We need to stand our ground and put a stop to people like this who inflict greed and corruption onto their fellow man !!!! These people are exactly what is so wrong with the world today!

knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home for our block. She took the time to understand our needs, patiently answered every question, and has guided us through each step of the pre construction with clarity and confidence.
What truly set Danielle apart was her communication and attention to detail. We have been kept informed, have never felt rushed or pressured, and felt completely supported so far with the process. Any concerns we've had have been addressed promptly and professionally, making the process enjoyable so far. The expertise, honesty and commitment to excellent customer service shown by Dani has really impressed us and we couldnt be happier with our decision to build being interstate investors. We would highly recommend Danielle and Mimosa Homes to anyone considering building a new home - you'll be in great hands!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ PERRY HOMES - FORSTER - I couldn’t be happier with my experience building with Perry Homes Forster. I was initially recommended to Perry… Read more
Homes by one of their contractors, who spoke very highly of the site supervisor, Stephen Wagstaff—and he absolutely lived up to that recommendation. He is incredibly organised, detail-oriented, and always on top of everything happening on site.
As a single mum of two building for the first time on my own, I honestly expected the process to feel overwhelming. Instead, Stephen made it smooth and manageable from start to finish. His communication was outstanding—keeping me updated multiple times a week and always responding quickly to calls and messages.
He went above and beyond by coordinating access for window furnishing and fencing quotes, organising times for suppliers to meet onsite, which took a huge amount of stress off me. He also took the time to answer all my questions and explain things clearly so I could make confident, informed decisions.
What truly stood out was his dedication right at the end of the build. The day before handover, he was due to go on annual leave and leave for a holiday at 2am—but he delayed his plans to ensure my home was handed over on time, knowing I had turf, underlay, and help booked in for the Easter long weekend. That level of care and commitment meant so much to me.
I am beyond grateful for the support, professionalism, and genuine kindness shown throughout the entire process. Stephen is an incredible asset to Perry Homes, and I highly recommend building with the Forster team.
Thank you for making this such a positive experience!

comfortable with our first build. Daniel was our building supervisor and he kept us up to date all through the build. He was so efficient with organising the trades people. The build was efficiently completed in very good time and Daniel’s communication was amazing. We weren’t able to see the site unless we travelled from Melbourne but Daniel made us feel as though we were a part of the process. We love our new house so much. It is everything we hoped for. Can’t recommend SJD high enough.

one of the WBN display homes when we were just starting out and weren’t even sure what we were looking for. She walked us through the entire process and helped us understand what we could achieve within our budget, making WBN an easy choice.
WBN were great throughout the initial design process and lived up to every expectation — with Louise remaining as responsive and helpful as ever, answering all of our silly questions at any time of the day and resolving a few minor estate issues without any fuss.
We would absolutely recommend Webb & Brown-Neaves to anyone looking to build, and make sure you ask for Louise!

functional home built to our plan and budget, that perfectly suits our needs.
We started the process with one of the project home designs and met with Morgan (Sales Director) who guided us through the initial steps of the knock-down rebuild process. Morgan provided us with clear, detailed and realistic information about the costs, our options to customise the design and timelines, and established the basis for a good working relationship.
Our Hall & Hart team was professional and responsive throughout. We would like to mention in particular: Marko, our in-house architect who worked closely with us and took time to understand our dream design and incorporated our many requests and changes into the customised plans, ensuring that the final plan met all our requirements. Melissa, who guided us through the pre-construction stage with wonderful support. She was very organised, knew our project features well and responded promptly to all queries and issues that came up. This stage of the process was well run with organised meetings keeping us up to date, with clear milestones to be met to keep to the timelines, and providing us with various options to consider in making our choices to finalise the FF&E schedules, making it all a seamless process. Crystal and Carly, our talented interior designers who took time to get to know our tastes and provide us with excellent choices within our budget, and great advice and tips during the FF&E stage. It is wonderful to see all this realised so beautifully in the final product. Darren McDonald, who took over as our site manager and oversaw the construction phase and has followed through with resolving post-construction items. Overall the construction phase was well managed. When any issues arose these were addressed and resolved quickly and on reasonable terms, with Darren ensuring the agreed solution was implemented. Post construction, Darren has assisted us in working through the list of outstanding items and getting all the various items addressed, and has also come to our home to check on progress. We appreciate Darren's dedication and hard work in getting the project to completion and his continued help in getting every issue resolved.
The level of client care, professionalism and commitment from all the team made a big difference to our overall experience. We are very happy with the final product and our overall building experience with Hall & Hart.

organised, and stress-free. The team was very professional and always willing to answer our questions. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the build, which gave us a lot of confidence along the way. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and the attention to detail really shows in the finished home. What stood out most was how efficiently everything was managed, the build was completed quicker than we expected without compromising on quality. It’s clear the team genuinely cares about delivering a great result for their clients. We’re absolutely thrilled with our new home and would highly recommend Tullipan Homes to anyone looking to build.
Latitude 37 Homes

I am delighted to recommend Latitude 37 following the construction of a wonderful family home they built for my wife and me. From initial design… Read more
through to handover and beyond, L37 demonstrated exceptional professionalism and skill.
L37 worked collaboratively with us to refine a design that perfectly balances family living, entertaining, and future flexibility. Their design suggestions capitalized on natural light, and the finished layout feels both practical and inviting.
Inna and her team showed a refined sense of interior design, advising on finishes, fixtures, and colour palettes that created a warm and modern home. The attention to proportion and material selection has given our home a high-end, timeless feel.
The craftsmanship throughout the house is excellent. The structural work, joinery, and finishes are precise and durable. We have been impressed with the quality of materials used and the care taken in installation. The overall result is a solid, well-built home that stands up to our daily family life.
After handover, L37 has been responsive and meticulous in addressing minor adjustments and any very minor warranty items. Their follow-up service gave us confidence that they stand behind their work and care about customer satisfaction. In short, Latitude 37 delivered a thoughtfully designed, beautifully finished, and well-built family home, supported by reliable and attentive service. We highly recommend them to anyone planning a high-quality residential build.
Thank you Paul, Georgia, Inna and our site manager, Mark. Well done to you all.

including a couple of variations I requested mid-stream. Everything was well managed and on budget. The build took a bit longer than expected but the quality of the workmanship was more important to me than the speed of completion and I have a quality home to show for it now. It was reassuring to hear other people, including my independent building inspector, speak highly of Novus Homes. Hopefully I won't be building again, but if I was to, I'd definitely go with Novus.

Felicity & Dean. There were no questions that felt silly to ask, they were always happily answered and the best advice was received. Whilst building our first home we lived three hours away and were limited with time to come back and watch the progress, but we were always updated and Felicity took the time to make sure things were up to standard and all our selections were correct. Highly recommend building with integrity if it’s quality, and top communication you’re after. We love our first home.

to us from our building supervisor once we got our keys in December. We did not hear back from them till January, after confirming everything, we never got another response till we threatened to go to fair trading to get it sorted. Once we threatened to fair trading, they responded with a weak response from the maintenance manager that did not answer any questions we had which was sent on Feb 6 2026. We have replied and replied for confirmation for our updated defects that we found and asked for confirmation when the defects will be rectified since you only have an 180 day period to raise defects with them.
!YOU GET NO ACTUAL RESPONSES TO YOUR QUESTIONS AFTER YOUR BUILD IS COMPLETE!
!once your house is done they don’t care about you. Be careful when you use this company because we are still waiting for responses from the maintenance manager!

Beechwood Homes NSW

In October 2023, I entered into an agreement with Beechwood for the construction of my home. As part of this arrangement, I paid a deposit of $11,000… Read more
with the understanding that work would commence promptly and progress would be steady. Unfortunately, this has not been the case.
Beechwood's salesman at their Box Hill office was commendable, offering reasonable pricing and flexibility in design amendments. However, the planning and design team have proven to be extremely slow and inefficient. Over the past two and a half years, we've had to consistently push them for every minor detail, as they seem unable to handle simultaneous activities or take a proactive approach.
Responses to our questions, clarifications, or requests for small design changes can take anywhere from four to five weeks, even with our frequent follow-ups. Without our persistence, these matters would likely be ignored indefinitely. The salesperson, who initially promised control over the process, appears to have no influence. Despite their promising words, actions from their staff are lacking.
Moreover, the frequent changes in staff have required us to repeatedly explain our project from the beginning, leading to numerous errors and lost data, including colour and appliance selections. This has been a frustrating and exhausting experience, leading me to consider terminating the project multiple times over the past two and a half years. However, I've refrained from doing so after taking some time to reconsider.
The remaining journey with Beechwood seems too long, and I find myself lacking the energy and time to continue. The planning process has been delayed by over two and a half years, and the estimated costs have increased several times. It feels as though Beechwood relies more on customers' deposits than on building houses, as we rarely see reviews from customers who have received completed houses. In summary I have wasted my money and two and a half years of time with Beechwood for no outcome.

The entire process was smooth, transparent, and stress-free. The team is not only highly professional but also genuinely empathetic—they truly understand how nerve-wracking building a home can be, and they go above and beyond to make it feel seamless.
Their attention to detail, communication, and commitment to delivering quality made all the difference. It’s rare to find a team that is this easy to work with while still maintaining such high standards.
We are absolutely thrilled with the final outcome and couldn’t be happier with our beautiful new home. A big thank you to the entire Metro Homes team—we highly recommend them to anyone looking to build!
