Best Home Builders

[Name Removed] from Sales has been very helpful and kind to my wife and me as we go through the process of buying our first home. She is highly… Read more

skilled at what she does and has been incredibly patient with us, even as we’ve changed our plans a couple of times.

We recently completed a 4-bedroom single-level home with G.J. Gardner Homes Tweed Heads and overall found the build to be very well managed.… Read more

Communication throughout the construction process was excellent, and we were kept informed at every stage. Jai was exceptional at answering questions promptly and making the process as stress-free as possible. The workmanship and build quality of the home met our expectations, and the tradespeople were professional and respectful throughout the build. Any issues or minor items we identified during construction or at handover were addressed quickly and without any hassle by the supervisor and team. One of the things we appreciated most was that the final cost remained in line with the original estimate, with no unexpected additional costs once construction commenced. The project was completed within the expected timeline, and we are very happy with the finished home.

Stephanie from the Manor Lakes sales office is truly one of a kind! Steph has been with me every step of the way while purchasing my first home and… Read more

has been incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She is genuinely one of the kindest and most patient people I’ve ever met, always taking the time to answer questions and make me feel supported. Thank you so much, Steph — I’m so grateful for all your help!

Chester is a legend, made it so simple for us to get the process started and secure the land. Very professional and always available to answer any and all questions regardless of time or day. 10/10 Show details

Every team member we have dealt with has been incredible and we have been so lucky to do our selections with Ben - helping guide us with excellent suggestions and practical advice. Highly recommend! Show details

G'day, We have just completed our 12-month inspection/works post-construction, and I believe NOW is the right time to give feedback on our journey.… Read more

Haha. Like all companies, a lot of the experience comes down to the people you deal with along the way, so I just wanted to mention some of the people who really impacted our journey and helped make the experience a positive one.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION

POSITIVES -Sales – Cheryl S. If it wasn’t for her, we would have never started this journey. Thank you very much for asking the right questions and getting us moving in the right direction. -Sales – Chris V. Very helpful with choosing designs, reading contracts, and picking structural upgrades. -MyChoice Studio – Mariah C. She has a tough job, helping us newbies pick absolutely everything for our 5-bedroom house in ONE day! Thanks for not making the day stressful and for helping us choose things that really make our house stand out.

NEGATIVES -Because we were beginners, you just don’t know what can be done or improved in terms of layout changes. -Just because you paid for an upgrade, don’t expect it to always look as good as the display home. -We had 2–3 visits to MyChoice Studio before our selection day, and we still struggled. Also, what you pick is not always exactly what you get.

MID-CONSTRUCTION

POSITIVES Site Supervisor SS – Mike McQuoid - What a legend! A good SS can change your whole experience and Mike really, really looked after us. We had our fair share of issues (frames, roof, etc.), but he always kept us informed, conducted several site visits, and genuinely cared. If our house looks as good as it does, it’s because this guy did an amazing job. Cannot thank him enough. (Also, Jarred — thanks for helping when things got busy haha.)

NEGATIVES -When you pick things during selections, you don’t always have the full picture of what implicates and how installation is done (e.g. gaps, trims, joints), and sometimes the final result is not exactly what you imagined.

POST-CONSTRUCTION

POSITIVES -Brighton Cares Team - Erin, Kayla and Peter and Wayne - Wow, really impressed here! I honestly thought that after handover, it was done and everything would be on us, but Brighton Care actually works. Kayla came for our 3-month inspection and fixed many things (not picked by our external handover inspection) -Now, dealing with Erin for our 12-month inspection (after the house has moved/settled),she has really helped us deal with external companies and making sure items were not forgotten. A Big thanks as well to Peter and Wayne, who went well above (literally) and beyond to fix walls, paint, and really all the external window frames (45’s!). **I really hope they’re still around to do our final 24-month inspection next year. =)

NEGATIVES -Because some items are handled by external companies, sometimes you have to deal with multiple teams coming through to fix things. -The way we judge whether an item is fixed (ex. how a patch on the wall is painted) is not always the same standard they use.

OVERALL Honestly, we would love to build again with Brighton (maybe the Lotus 38 this time). Brad and Brett, thanks for running a great company and helping first-timers like us achieve great results. We are super happy with both the experience and the final result.

I hope the team gets to see this message and it also helps another first timer to understand the building process.

Adam and the team were great to deal with. Luke kept us informed of where the build was at each week which made the whole build process simple for… Read more

us. The build, fit and finish was better than expected for a budget priced home. The price was fixed from the start so no surprises along the way. They handled everything from start to finish ready to move in. A great job guys, well done !

I settled my land in September 2025. They show cheaper contract and then offer average inclusions and make you spend more at colours selection.… Read more

Anyway, slab poured 20th January. Framing completed February march. Roof in April. They are extremely slow. They couldn’t get my house to closing stage in more than 4 months. Other builders in my estate started 2 months after mine but they are way ahead of me. I’m fearing that I will be the lat one in my estate to get my house completed. Communication is poor as well. They suppose to update fortnightly but I don’t hear much from them. So far I’m very disappointed with the progress specially when I can see other houses getting to completion much quicker in my newly built estate. Please choose your builder wisely as you will be making repayments

We are based in Sydney and have booked a home with Boutique Homes in Melbourne. I must say the process, staff and whole experience is very… Read more

professional and warm. I have been provided continuous information all through the process and there is absolute transparency with the contract and the details of pre-construction and construction phases. Will highly recommend Boutique Homes to anyone

Breanna did an excellent job helping us through the home and land package process. As newcomers to the market, she guided us in securing the land and finalising the contracts. I would definitely recommend her. Show details

Masterton completed our house in November 2025. During the 90-day maintenance period, we made a list of items that needed fixing. Our contact at… Read more

Masterton Homes for the 90-day maintenance items was Nadine Beglinger, and she really helped us resolve all the issues without any delay. Her communication was excellent, she always responded the same day, usually within a few hours. Thank you, Nadine. We really appreciate your help and are very happy to give you a 5-star rating!

My husband and I dealt with Laura from the Warragul display. She was amazing and super nice to deal with and also answered questions promptly. No… Read more

question was too silly or too much. We ended up with the house that we wanted within our limited capacity, so we are super stoked and excited for our first home. Thank you Laura! Can’t wait for our new home for our family.

“We had a really good experience with Patricia Tewaaka – Sales Consultant at Yarrabilba. She was very helpful throughout the process, especially with… Read more

the selection of the house plan. She listened to our needs, explained everything clearly, and helped us choose a design that suited our family perfectly. Her communication and support made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended!”

We began our journey to purchase our first home last year and came across Dean at Dale Alcock Homes. He recommended visiting a display home, and from… Read more

the moment we walked through it, we knew it was exactly what we had been looking for. Dean took the time to truly understand our requirements and guided us through various options without any pressure. Communication throughout the design stage was seamless, which helped us address all our queries with ease. This gave us the confidence to move forward, and we are now in the pre-construction phase. We’re hopeful that the same level of commitment and professionalism will continue throughout the construction process and beyond.

Kyle from the Springfield office was great to work with. He knew what he was talking about, was clear and efficient with his communication. He made… Read more

it a smooth process, and was patient as being a first time build process I had lots of questions…. I’m onto the next process now with a new case manager and if I continue to get the same level of professionalism I’ll be super happy.

Built the Glendale 280Q in Park Ridge south of Brisbane. Took all the upgrades and very glad I did. I looked after fitting the floor planks myself… Read more

after handover and sought advice from the project manager who assisted me greatly with sound advice how to go about it and loosely fit the skirting boards for later removal. I also looked after the gardens myself. The building was longer than I hoped due to the Christmas break. The whole process ran smoothly with weekly updates knowing in advance what was happening so I always felt I knew what was next. The web site customer portal was great full of information and updated regularly. I can’t really fault the whole process. I have built twice before over the past 50 years but the modern process is far more detailed with more feedback which makes you feel confident. Would I recommend them, yes certainly with confidence. Was I lucky to have good site manager, maybe. Would I build agin, sorry I am a bit too advanced in years to do it again but recommend to anyone to build rather than buy someone else’s problems.

Excellent customer service and project delivery within the time frame. The building supervisor Darren was amazingly helpful at every step of the construction. I am very pleased with the finished product. Show details

Building with Celebration homes is highly recommended. First of all, the house was built quicker than expected making us save money on renting. Only… Read more

qualified tradesmen were used using quality products. Communication was excellent throughout the whole process making us aware of every thing. Where we thought needed to rectify, it was done without any additional costs. So I strongly recommend Celebration homes and Dale Alcock at large. Thank you very much

My experience with the Weeks staff at the MunnoPara display home has been excellent. They are so accommodating, answer any questions with… Read more

comprehensive clarifications and ensure they are meeting your personal wants and preferences. Even after experiencing a hiccup with my land purchase and lack of information from the real estate agent, Weeks staff assisted my understanding and process.

Our experience with Orbit Homes has been excellent so far and we recently attended our colour selection appointment last week. Nadene, along with… Read more

another lady whose name I unfortunately forgot, were fantastic throughout the session - very patient, supportive and incredibly helpful in guiding us through our choices. Prior to that, we also had a great experience working with Rhys Neale, our New Home Consultant, who was equally professional and supportive throughout the process. We’re now looking forward to the next stage of the build and are excited to see everything come together.

Customer Care, Rawson Homes Working with Mary-Anne has been an absolute pleasure. She has been incredibly supportive, responsive, and genuinely… Read more

caring throughout our journey with Rawson Homes. Every update has been clear and timely, and she always makes sure we feel looked after and confident in the process. Her professionalism combined with her friendly approach really sets her apart. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble, and she consistently goes above and beyond to help. We’re very grateful for her assistance.

Our experience with Domaine Homes and the staff has been excellent so far. We are in the pre-construction stage and Skye was lovely to deal with. She… Read more

was thorough and easy going, very easy to talk to and happy to answer all our questions. Would not hesitate in recommending working with Skye for your next build.

We were corresponding with Gino Cerasoli and had a fantastic experience working with him. He met with us at very short notice, worked efficiently… Read more

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.

I built in Wilton NSW and I would like to thank our building supervisor Adrian who was professional and friendly in our dealings. Kept us up to date… Read more

We recently built our double-storey home in Melbourne’s south-east with 8Homes, and overall it has been a great experience. From signing up to… Read more

handover, the whole process was smooth and efficient, with our build completed in just 8 months.

The team has been fantastic throughout the journey. Our sales consultant and pre-site team were incredibly helpful, responsive, and made the process much easier to navigate.

A special shout-out to Peter, our site supervisor, who has been amazing from start to finish. He kept us informed at every stage, communicated clearly, and made sure things kept moving along.

Like any build, there were a few hiccups at handover with some items needing rectification, but these were addressed professionally and promptly.

Overall, we’re very happy with our experience with 8Homes and would recommend them to anyone looking to build.

We are currently in the early stages of a knockdown rebuild with Fairhaven Homes, and the experience so far has been exceptional. Moving from the… Read more

initial conversation with Rosie, to selecting and customising a floor plan to suit our block, was entirely seamless from our first conversation. We’ve just paid our deposit and been accepted to progress, and we couldn't be more confident in our choice so far.

What truly sets this team apart from other volume builders is their attention to detail and genuine willingness to help. Before we even committed to the next phase, Rosie alongside Katina worked tirelessly to include our specific requirements and provide accurate, upfront pricing.

They've helped us see how we could live in the home during the quote phase with a detailed sketch, rather than just looking at a generic floor plan from their website or brochure. Getting upfront, realistic costs for structural customisations rather than vague estimates or allowances, made the process feel secure rather than stressful. Rosie's focus was on finalising as many inclusions as possible so we could see a final, realistic price before moving forward.

It’s rare to find a volume builder that treats your budget and vision with this much respect. Knowing exactly what we are signing up for has made the start of this journey incredibly exciting. If you are looking for a builder that values transparency and customisation without the usual headaches, I highly recommend Fairhaven Homes, specifically Rosie and her team!

In our planning phase Michael was a great help to us, with me being so fussy with the way I wanted things he took the time to help me get it right… Read more

first time. I also chopped and changed my mind with things and he gave me great professional advice on my build. The communication was always clear and professional and any questions were answered immediately (even when I was texting him at 11pm) whoops…

The whole process has felt organised and straightforward, which has made a big difference when building our first home. We appreciate the support and guidance from the team and are looking forward to seeing the build progress

I would like to start of saying it was a great experience with your company to take on board to making my first home in reality it was such a… Read more
