Third time building and the best so far.
We have now been in our new Ben Trager home for 6 months and no issues to date. The build process was a pleasure from start to finish, regular updates were received, including photos. The build was completed well before the due date and to a very high standard. We hired an independent building inspector who conducted regular inspections and he only found a few minor issues that were fixed immediately without question. A special thanks to Christie our Pre-Start Consultant, Susan our Client Liason Officer, and Mark our Building Supervisor, they ...Read more
made the whole process seamless and were a pleasure to deal with. This was our third time building, first with Ben Trager Homes, and this was by far the best experience, we are very happy with our home. We would certainly recommend Ben Trager Homes.

Unbelievable happy with our BT homes
We built two homes with BT which completed in 2018. One was a double storey and the other a single storey both on the same block. We have waited a year before writing a review was to ensure our initial delight and pleasure that we experienced in the early months remained . To say that we are thrilled with our homes is an understatement. Jadon (Sales Consultant/Designer) produced a wonderful bespoke design to fit both homes uniquely on the block. Tim the site supervisor was a real pleasure to deal with and was always readily available to address...Read more
any issues we had no matter how minor. Susan the Liason Officer kept us a breast of all developments in a prompt efficient manner. The true test of workmanship is how big the list of defects are during the maintenance period. The list for BOTH homes could be counted on your hands and was extremely short containing only minor issues. Would we build with Ben Trager again? YES. Would we recommend Ben Trager? YES.1 comment

New House, Now 12 months on!
We moved in to our new Ben Trager home in April/May 2018.
We have held off on a review until now (July 2022) because we believe that the true test of a company is not only a quality product but also a solid foundation of integrity for when; or if an issue arises.
Your staff; especially Adam Delpero (Sales consultant), Christie (pre-start), Tim Strong (Site supervisor) and the follow-up maintenance team Jimmy and James from Multi trade have all been kind, courteous and professional to deal with. Infact; on most occasions they have gone abo...Read more
ve and beyond our expectations. This is a credit to your Company ethos. Throughout the design and construction process and afterwards; all your team and contractors have had a great attitude and made the process as smooth and seamless as possible. In short, we have recommended Ben Trager homes to everyone we have spoken with, maybe one day we will have the chance to build another home and choose Ben Trager homes once again. We are loving our new home!1 comment

Build with Ben Trager Homes
Picked Ben Trager due to their excellent designs and range of finishes and optional inclusions which provide plenty of flexibility.
Started off with a couple of meetings with the Sales Consultant, Adam Delpero who fully understood our brief and very efficiently put together a professional quote.
With this understanding, this quickly led to contract and drawings, and then prestart. Once more the process was very efficiently managed by Christie Mayers- we also had an opportunity to meet Ben at that stage.
The building process was adhered to ...Read more
schedule with regular updates from the office and the Supervisor, addressing all queries promptly. The build was completed as scheduled and we have just completed 6 months in the new house. The service through the build was top notch and minor items picked up at the 6 monthly maintenance were promptly and efficiently dealt with.1 comment

New build in Kiara
I was very impressed with the quality of the product supplied for the build, the tradesmen were all very efficient - I have had all of their work inspected by a couple of friends who have been in the building game and they couldn't find fault with the work completed.
The build was well managed, there was a bit of a delay in starting the process, but once underway the build went to schedule.
In regards to customer service, I had constant contact with the Sandra Pegg, the build liaise, and Mason, the site manager. Both were very informative d...Read more

A great first time experience!
This is a little late but it was my first home and was a little tricky being a subdivision.
The sales person had a lot of extra advice and was able to help me work out costs that I had not considered and then got my home to suit me and my total budget. She was helpful and honest and I couldn't fault her.
While the paperwork side of things was busy, once my house started, everything went very quickly and there were barley any issues. My site supervisor I met on site at least three or four times and he was great at explaining all the ins an...Read more
d outs and what was the next stage. My family is in the building industry and were also happy with the finished product. There was some minor patching at the end as well as a sight delay before the cabinetry went in, I was told what had happened and what was planned every fortnight and the girls in the office were really friendly & helpful. I have been in my house for over a year and only had a minor maintenance issue with the shower screens that was fixed straight away. Overall, it was a stress free experience and now I am loving my new home.1 comment

Living nightmare
I wish we had never built with Ben Trager Homes. Spent over 300k with this company and feel like dream block has been ruined by 12 months of leaks, mould, unprofessional workmanship, substandard products, arguments and immense stress. Our life is constantly on hold with this builder- just want to sell and get out of the place. Do yourself a favour and build with someone else. I wouldn't recommend Ben Trager homes to anyone.

Carefree Experience
Our experience with Ben Trager homes was pleasant from beginning to end.
It began with Shane who we met at one of the Ben Trager display homes. Shane was tentative and understanding and he gave us his full attention. He was able to understand the information in our heads, even though at times it wasn't coming out all that clearly. Shane met with us numerous times, was always accommodating and even offered to show us the finishings in an almost complete Ben Trager house.
The build progressed in a timely and most efficient manner thanks to ...Read more
the efforts of our building supervisor Daniel. Throughout the construction phase, Daniel made himself available at our request and was very patient and understanding and rectified any problems immediately. He coordinated the trades in such an efficient manner that our house was ready before schedule. From an administrative perspective, the Ben Trager team (including our liaison officers) were very professional, dealing with queries in a timely manner. We would like to thank the Ben Trager team for the great experience and Ben Trager himself, for taking the time out of his undoubtedly busy schedule to come and have a word with us.Similar opinion?

Ben Trager Homes - Stunning Home Built By People Who Listen & Care
We chose Ben Trager Homes as a result of their beautiful designs, excellent range of inclusions, and extensive range of optional upgrades. The display homes exemplified all of these.
The planning stage involved a lot of back and forth and negotiation, but it was well worth it, as we felt we ended up with a lot of lovely detail in our home. The Sales Manager was more than happy to work through any issues we faced at this stage with our land developer, as well as offer some really excellent suggestions to make the home design better. I was ple...Read more
ased that she spent the time with us, in a meeting at head office, to address all of our concerns. Notes were taken, and everything was followed up efficiently, along with regular updates being given via phone and email. The owner of the company, Ben Trager, gladly offered advice and suggestions when we met personally with him during pre-start, and via a couple of follow-up phone calls I had with him at a later date. The building process began in April 2015, and we moved in May 2016… totalling 13 months for a double-storey home built during the WA building boom. It did feel like a long time during construction, but in hindsight, it was good going. There were inevitable delays and a few mistakes that were sometimes frustrating, but, importantly, the Site Supervisor, Area Construction Manager, and Customer Service Manager all dealt these with promptly and professionally.1 comment

dream journey
Our experience was enjoyable from the first meeting to handover, from ben tragers design consultant, show home sales people, pre start team and actually meeting ben trager himself, all very friendly informative and very helpful throughout the whole build.Our supervisor was very efficient and kept the build moving along with hardly any delays, our slab went down in feb 2016 and we got the keys in sep 2016.I personally have been constructing houses for 30 years earning a great reputation but for work restraints was unable to construct our dream home but i wouldn't hesitate in recommending ben trager homes to anyone wanting to build their own dream, dean&kazz ☺

Couldn't ask for more
Our experience was superb start to finish. We got a huge nearly custom-designed home for a very affordable price. The process was smooth and took 11 months from slab. Little things like reserved parking at pre-start and fortnightly updates were great. Our building supervisor and liaison were very professional and exceptionally helpful. We could not be happier with the quality of the house and are very thankful to all of the Ben Trager Homes team.

Frustrating build that took ages
We built with Ben Trager in 2014. The slab went down mid year 2014 and we did not get our keys until February 2016. Our build had many defects that constantly needed to be fixed. We had around five supervisors and they all didn't seem to be able to tell us why the build was so slow.
We went with Ben Trager homes originally because they promised us that they could build a two storey home faster than the traditional brick homes. This was rubbish. The sales rep told us 52 weeks for the build and it ended up being over 70 weeks. This cost us a ...Read more
lot of money in interest because we had to pay for two large mortgages. We felt that we also suffered because we are very laid back people and did not complain a lot. We kept asking why it was so slow but did not get an answer. Finally, they set the final inspection for October 2015 and told us that they would fix all issues and give us the keys in 10 days. It took them until February 2016! We were also threatened by our customer service officer that we had to pay the final invoice by Christmas time even though the defects had not been fixed and if we didn't pay they would not look after the house over the Christmas break and we would be liable for any damage. When we then complained, her supervisor apologised to us and they retracted that demand. This was the most frustrating build and cost us a lot of money from the delay. The house is ok but the finishes were average. The tradies employed by the builder were very average and made lots of mistakes. I would never build with Ben Trager again. Very slow build from a builder who markets that they can build a two storey house faster because of their construction of the second storey.1 comment

Smooth building experience
I have never written a review before but after the great building experience if feel they deserve the recognition. All phases of the build have been well managed by professional and knowledgeable staff. We liked their designs and method of building the 2 storey homes and the sales person Jai was very helpful, making personal changes to the layout was easy and relatively inexpensive compared to other builders.
The actual build of our home has been one of little stress with a great site supervisor Shannon and customer liaison Samantha. We hav...Read more
e been keep well informed at all stages of the build and have been very impressed with the finished home. I have worked in the trades for nearly 15 years and the standard of work done by their tradesman has been of a very high standard. Our home was completed 4 weeks ahead of the contracted build time which is fast for a 2 storey home but without short cuts or poor quality work. I believe this was thanks to our site supervisor that from our meetings seemed very knowledgeable and professional. I would gladly build with Ben Trager Homes again and would happily recommend them to anyone. Thanks for our fantastic home! Kyle N1 comment

Appalling building experience.
I'm not one to write reviews, though after another issue with our home and no response from builder I really want to ensure no one else experiences what we have with Ben Trager Homes.
We choose Ben Trager due to the Narrow Lot design, outstanding pricing and our extremely knowledgeable and professional Sales person. Unfortunately that's where the professionalism and service ended. Our build has been a nightmare and an incredibly stressful experience. Emails and phone calls are not responded to, which is very frustrating when you are wanting ...Read more
to rectify and discuss issues, however is nothing in comparison to the nightmare of the poor craftsmanship. We have built three homes prior and understand from time to time errors happen and are guidelines that can allow for these margins to fall under and pass as acceptable, though our build has seen major issues at every stage. We were advised in November we should be at lock up prior to Christmas, and now is April and still not at lock up. Below are some of the issues we have experienced and most are not rectified. Damage to neighbours car. Complaints from neighbours of the building site cleanliness. Floor plumbing in wrong location resulting in the drilling of slab. (approximately 1/2 a metre out)1 comment

Good build
While the quality generally was generally good, the builder seemed to have some difficulty getting the logistics right. This did slow down the building process. They did follow up on minor maintenance required and overall we are happy with the quality of the building and the way they sorted out the minor issues. Money. [name removed] The staff were generally not easygoing and anything to upgrade from their "builders Range" was overpriced or not available. No problem as long as you do it their way.

No Complaints here
My wife and I spent a long time going through different display homes looking for the right design. We couldn’t find what we were after yet we knew what we wanted. We ended up meeting Jadon at Ben Trager’s display in the Vale and he was brilliant. He helped us put our ideas into one design that worked for our block. Nothing was too much trouble for Jadon and he knew his stuff. Top bloke.
Pre start was without fault, Laura did an incredible job and again, nothing was too much trouble. It was at pre start that we realised that we had tr...Read more
uly made the right decision when we met Ben Trager. He apparently meets every client at pre start but we had thought it a hard task and too much to expect when Jadon had told us. Sure enough he spent about 20 minutes talking to my wife and I and seems like a genuine decent guy. Im not sure how many managing directors would take the time out to meet every client. We had one small hiccup with our developer needing a second render colour on our façade and our pre start lady Laura organised that after pre start with no ill effects. Construction took as long as Ben Trager had told us it would. We were happy with that. The tradesman all did a good job, some did an excellent job. We ended up having about 3 different supervisors but the same Area Manager above them the whole time so it didn’t seem to have an adverse effect on things. When I asked why we’d had several supervisors I was told that they move them around so that they always have a manageable amount of jobs. We have been happily living in our home for several months now and my wife and family love it. Best decision we ever made was to walk into that display in the Vale. For a relatively new building company, they are doing something right. Thanks Ben and the team for making this a peaceful happy journey for us and giving us a quality home we can be proud of.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Modern design with good features but took longer than expected to build
We choose to build with Ben Trager homes back in December 2013, construction approval was granted by the council relatively quickly, with site works commencing in April with the lower level slab being laid in May 2014. I will try to be a fair and just in my review, because there are both strong points as well as the unfortunate negative aspects.
1. First part of any review of a builder should focus on the reason for choosing the builder in the first place. For us there were several reasons why we decided on choosing Ben Trager Homes, which I ...Read more

Good but house is let down by some trades
My house has some excellent workmanship e.g. slab, brickwork, kitchen bedroom built in robes we chose the upgraded glass ones well worth it. I was disappointed with the glazing they didn't use, safety glass at bottom of stairwell, one window will not open and they didn't seal shower properly - water goes everywhere. The texture they use for upstairs on outside walls has a dent which they said they fixed but haven't touch it. I will have to chase that up as well all other small problem they have been fixing as I request be it slowly.
