Best Home Builders

Building with Carlisle Homes was hassle free and very easy. Guided from start to finish and always updated with the progress on every stage. Our… Read more

Supervisor Jack was phenomenal and without him the process would not have been so easy. Highly recommend if you're looking to build luxury sophisticated homes for a great price.

First time building with GJ Gardner and I couldn’t be happier with them. The attention to detail was fantastic, the whole team is professional and… Read more

responsive and I love how everything turned out. My site manager Wes was fantastic and really made the whole process from slab to handover a breeze. I would recommend the team at GJ Gardner to any looking to build a quality home.

We’ve just finished building our forever home and honestly couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out—largely thanks to Sam and Alyssa. Sam was… Read more

an absolute legend throughout the entire build. From day one, he kept us in the loop with regular updates and was always transparent about progress. Whenever our private inspector picked up anything, Sam was quick to address it without hesitation. Delivering a 48-square home in just 7 months is seriously impressive. We feel incredibly lucky to have had Sam as our site supervisor. He genuinely cared about the end result and went above and beyond multiple times to sort out our concerns—no matter how big or small.

Alyssa, our building coordinator, was just as fantastic. She was always on top of everything—variations, paperwork, calls—you name it. Not once did we have to chase her up. She was responsive, organised and made the whole admin side of the build feel easy, which is no small thing. Looking back, it’s people like Sam and Alyssa who really make the difference. They made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and well-managed. Massive credit to Metricon for having people like them on the team.

We’re absolutely thrilled with our new home.

My husband and I would like to share our great experience with Celebration Homes (Pre construction). To Corrine Lilly — for accomodating our… Read more

requests during the design meeting and also for imparting her expertise in ensuring that we choose and decide what’s best - for our future family home.

To Andrew V (Electrical Meeting) — thank you for your expertise and for being so helpful in ensuring we include the elements that are essentials (electrical priorities) in building a home.

To Sophie Carrara of Celebration Homes - we truly appreciated your patience, guidance, and professionalism during our selections appointment (Prestart). You made the whole experience feel smooth, enjoyable, and exciting for us. Thank you as well for taking the time to explain everything clearly and helping us feel confident with all our selections and paperwork.

We’re also very grateful to the rest of the Home Collective team (Lindy (tiling selection) and Veronica (carpet selection) — for their support and assistance. It was such a wonderful experience, and we genuinely felt cared for every step of the way.

And of course, our building consultant Innocent, who has been so supportive in making sure the whole process run smoothly and also gives us helpful tips throughout the process.

We’re so excited to see everything come together and can’t wait to see the final plans. Thank you again for your kindness, expertise, and for making this milestone such a memorable one for us.

Wishing the whole team all the very best!

Our experience with the design team particularly Matt and Melissa at the design studio was wonderful. Both team members were extremely professional,… Read more

well versed in their products and options that worked for our particular design ideas. Matt is a highly skilled and efficient person who made this experience truly enjoyable.

I highly recommend Brighton Homes for a new build. They offer very good quality at a competitive total cost (and here I mean not only the build… Read more

quality but also the appliances they offered). The final product at handover time was spotless and spot on, and because we were in a fixed price contract there were no nasty surprises. And there were no delays to hand over, which meant that we could sell our previous house and move into the new one in a seamless manner. The actual build time was very reasonable at 6 months for a two-story house. The communication with the site manager during the build was also very good and we felt that we were heard. Overall, my expectations related to Brighton Homes were met and we knew earlier in the building process that we were in good hands.

We bought a home post construction off a private seller in the new home warranty period with Hotondo Port Macquarie. Our customer service experience… Read more

with Hotondo has been outstanding. We recently found a cracked down pipe and Hotondo promptly fixed it although we are out of the 2 year warranty period. Minor maintenance items have also been fixed previously without delay. Hotondo Port Macquarie's representative Shane has been a delight to deal with and his customer service has been second to none. We really appreciate the care and recommend Hotondo as a highly attentive service provider. Thank you again Shane and Hotondo Port Macquarie.

who replaced the previous manager half way through the project, his experience meant there was minmal delay with the build and his recommendations and ideas were a delight, when we build again we will definitely go with Clarendon and ask for Darren to project manage.

We are currently building the beautiful Montpellier 39 with the Greyson façade through Boutique Homes and could not be happier with our experience so… Read more

far. A huge thank you to Tania Hogan for her outstanding support, professionalism and knowledge throughout the entire process. Building a home can feel overwhelming at times, but Tania has made everything seamless, stress-free and exciting from day one. Her communication has been exceptional, always keeping us informed and ensuring every detail has been handled with care. The quality, design options and overall customer service from Boutique Homes have exceeded our expectations. The Montpellier 39 design is absolutely stunning and the Greyson façade gives the home such an elegant and modern street presence — we cannot wait to see it all come together. If you are considering building, we highly recommend Boutique Homes and especially Tania Hogan. Thank you for helping bring our dream home to life!

My overall experience with Masterton can only be described as unsatisfactory due to ongoing concerns regarding communication, customer service, and… Read more

warranty rectification. From Sales through to Warranty every step is a constant fight. Throughout the building process and post-handover period, communication was consistently poor and unprofessional. Requests for information and updates frequently went unanswered or were not addressed within a reasonable timeframe, resulting in unnecessary delays and frustration. Several items included within the building contract were never completed, and a number of warranty defects reported following handover remain unresolved more than 18 months after being raised. While written assurances have been provided on multiple occasions that these matters would be addressed, the required rectification works have not been completed. In my view, Masterton has fallen well short of meeting its obligations in relation to customer service, defect management, and the timely resolution of outstanding warranty matters. Prospective clients should carefully consider these issues when making their building decision. Based on my experience, I would not recommed!

Our experience so far has been great! Nick at the Mount Duneed display has been super helpful, assisting us every step of the way from plan selection, land and upgrade options - Would highly recommend! Show details

Have a house built by homebuyers circa 2009, apparently internal ceilings are supposed to fall down about now, home assist say wear and tear and… Read more

lack of maintenance, no idea how a roof wears and tears or how to maintain an inner ceiling, when queried the best I got was "you're supposed to walk around the home once a year looking at the roof, if there's any screw popping, you need to get a contractor in to fix it" Completely ignoring the fact it was done poorly in the first place, even the finish on the roof from build is atrocious. Home assist wasn't very helpful, due to risk of collapse got a contractor in who stated "these trades building the homes get away with murder" (implying how bad the job was) 25 year warranty means nothing

So far my experience with Burbank has been absolutely incredible. Vijay the salesman based in the Alamora display homes is nothing short of… Read more

passionate about his job. He was respectful and engaging from the start. I originally started communication about 3 months ago when trying to decide who to build with. After gaining quotes and having other negative experiences with other volume builders I kept coming back to Burbank. I cannot fault my experience so far. Yesterday I finally paid my deposit and cannot be happier with my choice. We loved the process and so excited to go on this journey with building my first home. Incredible thanks to Vijay again. I will amend this as we progress - and when we finish our home with Burbank ❤️

We had a fantastic experience working with Scott Blatcher right from day one. From our very first interaction, we genuinely felt we were in safe… Read more

hands. His communication is exceptional, and his prompt responses gave us great confidence throughout the process.

What stood out the most was his patience, no question ever felt too small. We were able to ask anything, and Scott always took the time to provide clear, detailed answers, which made the entire experience very comfortable and stress-free for us.

Scott truly understood our needs and worked closely with us to customise our floor plan to a level that exceeded our expectations. The design process was smooth, with minimal back-and-forth, and we were very satisfied with the final outcome. His knowledge and ability to suggest practical, well-suited solutions made a significant difference.

Choosing Dale Alcock was an easy decision for us. As a premium builder, the quality and professionalism of the team are evident. This gave us the confidence that we are building our first dream home with the right people.

We’ve had a great start to our journey with Dale Alcock and are genuinely excited about what lies ahead.

After a rocky start with Masterpiece and a few changes in site supervisors in our initial days, Clint Leighton took over our project earlier this… Read more

year and completely changed our supervior experience for the better. From day one, Clint has been organised, professional, and incredibly calm throughout the entire build process. His attention to detail has given us real confidence that our build is in good hands. Having experienced different site supervisors throughout our journey, I can honestly say that having the right supervisor makes all the difference. Clint has made the process smooth, stress free, and given us genuine peace of mind during what can often be a challenging experience. If you're building with Masterpiece in the Melbourne area, I highly recommend requesting Clint Leighton as your site supervisor. He is honestly just a really good guy! Also shout out to our lovely CRC, Shaneece. She has been wonderful to deal with.

I have started the build process and have been dealing with the Sales team. Nitin has been extremely helpful and explained everything in detail. We were not the easiest of customers and had requested many changes. Show details

Brayden made all the difference throughout my experience with Celebration Homes. When I first started exploring my options, I didn't know Brayden at… Read more

all. I contacted three different builders, asked countless questions, compared information, and tried to determine who I could trust with such an important investment.

From our very first conversation, Brayden stood out. He was open, honest, and transparent in a way that immediately put me at ease. Every question I asked was answered clearly and professionally. He never tried to pressure me into making decisions, nor did he rely on unrealistically low prices or misleading figures to win my business. Instead, he focused on helping me understand the building process, the associated costs, and the decisions ahead. That level of integrity is rare and played a significant role in my decision to move forward with Celebration Homes.

As things progressed, it quickly became clear that Brayden's contribution went far beyond that of a sales consultant. He helped me secure the right block of land, introduced me to the developer, and was always available whenever I needed advice or direction. His industry knowledge, professional network, and willingness to assist made what could have been a complicated undertaking feel straightforward and manageable.

One thing Brayden and I often joked about was his incredible memory, but it genuinely became one of his greatest strengths during the design phase of the home. He provided countless practical suggestions that improved the overall design, functionality, and liveability of the house. Every time we met, he remembered details from previous conversations, my preferences, features I wanted, and even small points that I had completely forgotten myself. More than once, it felt like he remembered my project better than I did. That level of attention and commitment made me feel like I wasn't just another customer, but someone whose success he was personally invested in.

Working with Brayden felt less like dealing with a salesperson and more like having a trusted business partner by my side. I always felt he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me. I was comfortable relying on his advice, knowing it was being given with my interests in mind rather than simply trying to close a sale.

His understanding of the building industry is exceptional. No matter the question or challenge, he either had the answer or knew exactly how to find the right solution. That expertise provided reassurance throughout what is often one of the biggest financial commitments a person can make.

Building a home is often described as stressful, overwhelming, and sometimes even unpleasant. Thanks to Brayden, my experience has been the exact opposite. He has made the entire process enjoyable, exciting, and something I genuinely look forward to. Looking back, he played a major role in transforming what could have been a stressful experience into one of the most rewarding projects I have undertaken.

In all honesty, one of the main reasons I chose Celebration Homes was Brayden himself. The level of professionalism, integrity, expertise, and genuine care he demonstrated was unlike anything I encountered elsewhere.

I couldn't be happier with the support he has provided and would highly recommend both Brayden and Celebration Homes to anyone considering building a home.

Celebration Homes should be extremely proud to have someone like Brayden representing their business. People like him do far more than sell homes — they build trust, create lasting relationships, and elevate the entire customer experience. Brayden has been outstanding in every respect, and I am incredibly grateful for everything he has done to make this experience such a positive one.

Great start to the pre-build stages, slow and steady and not rushed. So far, good communication throughout and accommodating to our needs and requests. Looking forward to the next stage of our journey with Weeks. Show details

I’ve had a really great experience working with Sarah Duffield as my pre-construction coordinator at Wisdom Homes. From the start, she’s been very… Read more

proactive and kept things moving along quickly, which made a big difference.

She was always easy to get in touch with, whether by phone or email, and would get back to me quickly every time. That level of communication made the whole process feel a lot less stressful and much more manageable.

Sarah has been genuinely helpful throughout, taking the time to explain things and make sure everything was on track. Her approach gave me a lot of confidence during this stage.

I’m also really looking forward to continuing to work with Sarah through the construction phase, knowing I’m in good hands.

I’d definitely recommend her to anyone building with Wisdom Homes.

I reached out to Maddy about the house and land package at Domaine Homes' Parklea centre in December 2025. As a first home buyer, I wasn't familiar… Read more

with the process and was purchasing under the Help to Buy scheme. Maddy was wonderful and supported me from the very start, guiding me through every step and helping me enormously with both the build and the land process. Throughout the finance approval stage, Domaine Homes were incredibly patient — because I was buying under a government scheme, they were accommodating and understanding with the timelines, happily providing extensions whenever they were needed. They also helped me with the contract and the inclusions, making sure the house was built according to my needs and even anticipating changes I might want down the track. I'd highly recommend building your home with Domaine, and reaching out to Maddy for build advice.

questions or concerns were handled promptly and professionally. The workmanship and build quality met our expectations, and the final cost was in line with what we were initially advised. We appreciate the support provided throughout the journey and would happily recommend Fairhaven Homes to others building their dream home.

As a first-home buyer, I ultimately decided not to proceed with B1 Homes after progressing through the preliminary works and PCQ stages. My concerns… Read more

stemmed from what I considered to be significant inconsistencies between early discussions, written assurances, PCQ documentation and the final contractual position presented. Matters relating to build time expectations, price hold understanding, fixed site costs and later variations became increasingly difficult to reconcile as the process progressed.

I ultimately lost confidence in proceeding with what would have been a major financial commitment. My request for consideration of a partial refund of the $3,000 preliminary works fee was also declined, despite my concerns being supported by email correspondence and documentation exchanged throughout the process.

My advice to future buyers is to avoid building with B1 homes as the initial verbal and written attractive assurances very quickly fade out when you get the inked document and that's when reality settles in! In my opinion, there are other builders worth considering before committing to B1 Homes.

We have built a double storey Reserve build in the Geelong region. From site start to handover has been 7 months, and that included Christmas. We… Read more

have been renting extremely close to the build while we waited, and so had the ability to watch what happened on site each day. To say that we have been happy is an understatement! The trades have been great, and other than a gap where our site supervisor went on paternity leave there has been someone onsite working almost every day. Any issues picked up at each stage by our private inspector were rectified without drama, and our final inspection passed with flying colours. The communication from our site supervisor was really the standout. Beau was always happy to answer questions, keep us updated week to week (with more detail than was probably normal), and work with us on any changes or panics we had. The admin team were also really easy to work with, and always friendly and accommodating. Our colour selection appointment was also a standout, with our consultant providing really good advice and also getting onboard with the 'vibe' we were looking for for the house. The house came in exactly to budget with no surprises, even with additional variations and inspection reports. The final build quality is excellent. We have built previously with Carlisle and have been renting a Metricon investment property during the build, and our new house so far trumps both. The only real hiccups were our solar battery package, which was missed during our tender signing causing some drama and then missed during the electrical rough-in causing more drama. And our tender appointment was not a pleasant experience, which was fed back to Henley at the time. But was all! Highly recommend Henley in Geelong, based on having Beau as our site supervisor!
