Our dream home!
Our Arden Home is soon to be built, in fact were not yet at the demolition stage (Whitehorse city council have taken nearly 14 months to approve our permit!) yet Arden have been patient and on the journey with us the entire time. Super equipped to support you throughout the entire process, on schedule with appointment dates, extremely accommodating with helping us get our permits through- and honestly even not having built with them yet, theyre worth the wait!
Our spokesperson or go to Arden consultant was especially great, extremely friendly and always helpful. Do not know how we could have done any of this without her

Our new Home in Berwick
We have just moved into our amazing new Arden Home. Arden have been great to work with throughout this build. Their communication and follow up has been excellent. Our office contact and site supervisor have been with us every step of the way with regular updates. Our site supervisor was happy to show us through the house as it progressed which made us feel confident in what was happening and also made us feel included in the process. They even finished ahead of time to accommodate our needs. The quality of the work is great and we are really happy with our new home. Thanks Arden, well done.

Pre construction
We are due to commence works this coming Monday! It’s been a long 12 month journey to get to where we are today. With town planning holding us up no fault of arden just the area we chose to build in.
Arden have been fantastic with there communication and follow up to date. We have always had our phone calls answered and emails replied to. Everything from first meeting till now has been friendly and accomodating with our endless changing of minds. Nothing was ever to much even when I needed to double check our colour selections on contract signing day to just double check that I still loved all our choices.
I hope to continue to have an excellent reviews with the build commencing Monday.

Pre-build
Our site works started today (hooray) and its been a long journey for us to this point due to the land settlement process. We are first time home builders and were completely illiterate regard the entire process. With all of this in mind and the potential for us to be anxious or impatient, the Arden staff supported us in a highly professional manner throughout the pre-build process. We always felt informed and that the Arden team were all over the details of our build and any outstanding requirements. They called us on a regular basis (Thank yo...Read more
u, JG) to touch base and were quick to respond to any inquiry with the information we needed. Since we started the build process, many friends/colleagues have told us their war stories of building, of all of the things that went wrong and strained relationships with their builders. We are happy to say that this hasn't been the case for us, and that Arden has delivered on every promise to date, usually ahead of schedule. We look forward to the same positive experience during our build.1 comment

Fantastic Service and Consultation with Flexible Plan
We had a plan to knock down a house and rebuild a new home, which we had spent time shopping around between builders. Since the start of the process, the Sales team had given a fantastic advice of how to do house orientation and design to incorporate a specific change we had in mind from the original plan. The Customer Service team kept you informed with the progress of process before signing the contract. The only thing we felt a bit disappointed was the the delay of the foundation change due to our block is subject to flood zone. They appeared to be extremely busy and did not have enough staff to accommodate all of their customers.

We are very satisfied with our new home as it was very good quality and standard and finished before the time frame with good customer relationship
step-by-step we were informed the process and had a tour and we couldn't find any issued during the construction. we couldn't find any hidden cost at the final estimate and completion. finally we are happy we have selected Australia's No.1 builder

Pre-Site Administration
This is our first home with Arden Homes but not the first home we have built. We have been very impressed by the process Arden Homes has and the organisation of every stage. Thank you to our Customer Service Pre Site Administrator JG for a seamless, good flowing process. JG kept us in the loop for all stages of the process and informed us about everything. Changes were made with ease and Arden Homes have been very accommodating during the design and contract process. We are very happy to this stage with the customer service we have been provided and we look forward to our build with Arden Homes.

Great support
We are building our First home with Adren Homes. So far we had a positive experience with the pre construction team. They have provided us with great service and support through out the colour and electrical selection. The houses are smartly designed and space created in the house is practical for day to day lifestyle. We loved the inclusion and hardly needed to upgrade. The floor plans were flexible and we did made some structural changes. Once the contract was signed things started to move quickly. We really appreciate the guidance that they provided to us during the whole process.

Pre-Construction Dream Team
This being our second build, we opted for a smaller builder that could customise to our needs. It just so happened that what we wanted was straight off the plan anyway! We made some minor structural changes that were no problems. Starting with the Sales Team in Torquay - PB and EF who went above and beyond to save us the long drive with 2 little kids to Berwick and gave us some really great advice. It was at this stage however that we did feel we would have liked some firmer pricing before putting a deposit down. It wasn't what we experien...Read more
ced with our first build so handing over money without really knowing the costs of changes was a little daunting. Our very intuitive and fun Colour Consultant KH just got us and what we wanted in our home. Whilst it was lots of fun choosing how our home would look, they are unable to provide you with costs on the day. Its really a guessing game as to the 'upgraded items' and you have to wait until your contract stage to really see what things cost you. You are expected to have a backup option just in case it doesn't fall into your budget but we were able to work through this with minimal fuss. Then there was our electrical whizz EC - who we barely needed to speak with she was that quick. Our Customer Service Administrator BG - I am pretty sure we spoke each and every day for a month straight and she forever kept her composure - knew everything going on with our contract and amended immediately anything we required. There were of course lots of questions from us - BG was incredibly prompt in her replies and we were not made to feel we were asking unnecessary questions. We are building in the South West of the state and whilst they have a relatively new sales office here we feel they really need a showroom for colour, electrical and contract signing. In saying that - Arden were very accommodating in allowing us to do most things online. So in conclusion - so far thumbs up from us! Things are moving quickly on site already, as promised with a site cut done just a week after contracts were finalised :)1 comment

I love my house, but I wouldn't use them again
We built and had handover of a Milan in April. We have a beautiful home but without our constant chasing and review and private inspection, I'm not sure how it would have turned out. We were told incorrect timeframes from sales and given some incorrect information in the contract meetings. We think our site supervisor built a decent house - but there was little to no communication and we were told (after not meeting him for 4-6 weeks in the beginning or having a phone call) he 'didn't have time to give us a blow by blow run down' of our build. ...Read more
We were meant to receive fortnightly phone calls, we'd get a text if lucky. Initially, we paid deposits with the view to having the house finished inside a year. We had a timeframe to meet for relocation and Arden said they could accommodate this. 4 months later we were only just finalizing contracts as their administration had dropped the ball/couldn't live up to the promises made. We ended up being in 16 months later as opposed to 12. The contract/drafting process' would have huge mistakes, I was correcting something between 14-30 mistakes on each draft - and felt like I was their 'quality assurance' as items in the contract wouldn't make it to drawings, and drop out again at the next stage. One of my big issues is we were told a very expensive door (10K) couldn't be double glazed due to weight. When they scratched this door, A&L came out to repair and said it absolutely comes in double glazed. Arden has since confirmed this, but refuse to accept any responsibility in giving us bad information - and have asked that I provide written evidence of asking this question. If I knew what I knew now, I think I would record my contract meetings. For the build, while we didn't get enough communication - we feel somewhat neutral. There are a lot of lovely and beautiful aspects of our home. We were able to tailor the design to what we wanted. We've got a house that has plaster cracking, broken roof tiles and a thermo-inefficient house due to the wrong door and bad information... but I still love it, and these things are fixable. We hope their warranty can resolve the outstanding issues and we don't have the chase the door issue through legal channels.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great Service
We spent quite a bit of time researching and looking at different homes and builders until coming across Arden Homes. What attracted us to them was the standard inclusions the ability to change the floor plans to suit our requirements and likes. It was never an issue. The team was extremely helpful and understanding from the sales staff PA through to admin BG. Looking forward to build commencement and hope that all runs smoothly and without any issues.

This is our second home build (originally built with PD, not so great), our experience this time around has been delightful. BG was a pleasure to deal with, we did hit a few bumps with DA but she was fantastic in dealing with them & getting everything resolved. Cannot wait for build stage, if customer service continues at this high standard we will be very happy & highly recommend as builders!

What firstly attracted us to Arden was the unbeatable inclusions and flexibility with their designs. We heavily modified our floor plans to suit our block and requirements, Arden was extremely accommodating where other builders were not as flexible.
So far everything has been completed in a professional and timely manner. We cannot wait for construction to commence in the next few days and have faith the great customer service will continue in this stage.

A regretful decision to build with Arden
Our experience with Arden has been horrible from start to finish.
Hiring an independent inspector was the best thing we did. He picked up issues with the honeycombing in the concrete and significant issues with the frame not meeting Australian building standards. Arden changed 3 site supervisors during our build which meant numerous defects being missed. We are now post handover and have had a an extremely frustrating experience with the poor quality of our build.
For the past 9 months, we've been chasing Arden to fix bowing floorboards, poorly...Read more
