Another awesome build with Coral Homes
After a bit of a delayed start waiting for title to come through, once the project was passed to [Name Removed] our Project Manager, the build went very smoothly and promptly. our Property manager was also impressed with the standard of the build at the time of the final walk-through/check with very little left to be touched up. Another great build from Coral Homes, our second, and would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

First home builders and a wonderful experience!!
Our build was well managed, most of the work was excellent, however some things required fixing which was promptly managed by our supervisor. All issues were managed in a timely manner and the staff I dealt with were polite and helpful. We were pleasantly surprised that our final cost came in under the estimated cost! Would 100% build with coral again!!

Overall pretty happy with the final outcome
Im glad I was able to visit the site regularly as progress was being made because there were several issues that would have been covered over once the linings went in.
The Site Supervisor (while hard to get in contact with at times via phone or email) was very easy to deal with and as we have built several homes previously, he knew there was no hiding
The sales expereince was excellant although there were times that information provided at various meetings had to be restated again BUT we got there in the end

Dream home as our first home!
Our build was very well managed, from the time construction began. Any issue that popped up was handled without any hiccups at all. All costing from the initial quote to the final contracts were upfront and incredibly transparent. We loved having the ability to adapt the plans to design ou dream home. The workmanship of the build was great, however there are a few minor rough finishing touches (grout imperfections and silicone leftover)

Saved by the Building Supervisor.
Let's just say, if it wasn't for the building supervisor we would have given this experience a 1 star. The quality of the build was great, great communication with other trades, actual build time just under the 16 week mark. Stayed under budget. Definitely worth all the negative experience from pre construction and there delays. That was an absolute shambles from delays with no excuses, not receiving any updates of situation. I would recommend the quality of the build and the building supervisor 100%, but not head office and the customer service.

Test your patience with sales and get rewarded with build
We built our first home with Coral last year. We are very happy with the end result and build and have our site manager to thank for it.
The sales experience or the pre-build, which was the most period of our project (from Feb to almost September) was a real test of patience, where we regretted at several ocassions on why we went with this builder. Generally speaking the Sales Consultant was only responsive up until we paid the deposit, after which it was us chasing the sales, which we have later heard from others is a norm in the industry an...Read more
yway. Our most painful moments were we would agree things after several hours of discussions and in the next meeting find either some of them forgotten by the Consultant totally or not actioned as agreed, and the general lack of prep before meeting - to the extent that we started to email back to Consultant after each meeting to keep record (which generally should be the other way round). Eventually we had quite a few unnecessary back and forths in the plan and also issues later in the stage due to miscomms by the Consultant, which lead to avoidable delays. Some positives in the period included quite a bit of flex from the builder to change the plan (which is not common in high vol builders) and very good pricing points compared to the competitors - we generally felt we got very good value for money for what we changed and eventually built. Color selection was generally a good experience, but there too the Consultant misinformed us about a specific aspect which lead to issues in the later stage of build. The builder was generally good with compensating monetarily for any issues from their end, but we are more disappointed with not getting what we wanted. The actual construction part of the build was a very good experience and eventually restored our faith in the builder, thanks to the champ site manager [Name Removed] we were lucky to have been allocated. The actual construction literally got completed in 12 weeks, without any major defects. The total time it took us from the first time we went to Coral Homes to getting handover was not more than 12 months, which we think was a very good result in the end. We had to push and plead the builder to it and don't think that would have been achievable normally though. In any case, it's been about 1.5 months since we have moved in to the house and so far we are very happy with the quality of build.1 comment

Lots of empty promises
After we had a bad experience with another builder we went to see Coral homes in leppington. The consultant seemed very helpuful and his supervisor promised that as long we could have provided receipts of the previous tender they would have given us a discount to the building cost equivalent to 50% of the receipt. Everything seemed good and the initial tender was within our budget. So we Paid an initial deposit in September 2022 for final fixed price contract. We were promised many inclusions discounts and bonuses. We were also told that initi...Read more
al deposit would have locked in the price and the package that was being offered then. In December we were presented with what was supposed to be the final fixed price tender. This tender not only had a new price for the house we chose but it also had the newer package. All the promises of inclusions bonuses and discounts were not honored. The building cost ended up 100k above our budget. When we asked why the new price and new package we were told that this was because the tender was completed outside of the 3 months. The reason why was outside the 3 months was because the consultant went for holiday and then he broke his foot causing delay of the paperwork being submitted. Beside the new higher prices, this tender had no fixed prices. Site costs were all estimates equating to over $80k and we had to also pay for soil removal ourselves. I sent email to the sale consultant and included his supervisor. Since December no one from Coral has even bothered to making contact to check if everything is ok or if there is anything that they can do. Stay away from this builder, they have shown to us they don't care. They make false commitments and are slow in getting back to you, they only are after your money. WordSimilar opinion?

An excellent job, would refer friends and family.
I built at Stockland Pallara, [Name Removed] was my building supervisor. He was very professional and managed the build excellently. All the workmanship were great and [Name Removed]worked tirelessly to make sure that the quality of the of build was excellent. [Name Removed] was prompt in rectifying our concerns. Our final building cost is lower that our estimate.

Amazing Pre-site Customer Service
From day one of receiving a phone call from [Name Removed] my husband and I knew we were in amazing capable hands. As first home builders everything was overwhelming and confusing to say the least but [Name Removed] made the process so easy. Replying to emails promptly and helping us throughout every issue that arose. Her professionalism and knowledge was above anyone we have ever encountered throughout the process of building our new home. Anyone second guessing coral, just hang in there and be hopeful you are lucky enough to have Rebecca Wright as your Pre-site Customer Service contact!
Thankyou again so much!

Great Workmanship
I have used Coral Homes before, so I was very confident that they would do another great job ....which they did. [Name Removed] the Sales consultant was very knowledgeable, professional and positive about the building process. [Name Removed] at Head office was very helpful during the colour selection and [Name Removed] the site manager exceeded expectations. He was very professional and supportive during the building process and always kept me well informed with weekly emails. He always returned my calls promptly and nothing was too much of a problem.
All the trades did a wonderful job.
Very happy with the final result, I highly recommend Coral Homes.

Exceeded Expectations
Building with Coral was an extremely easy and enjoyable experience. The systems are well set up to guide you through each stage from house selection, to contract, fitting selections and construction. Each stage was well explained and handovers to the next stage was seamless. the quality of thebuild exceeded expectations. I highly recommend building with Coral.

Steven's help in creating our new home was amazing!
We first met [Name Removed] on our walk thru a display Coral Home at Newport and he is now at North Harbour, we immediately connected with him and he worked us thru the building process in detail as we were building our first home even though we are pensioners. Our block was wider at the front and narrower at the back so he managed to help us choose a smaller house with great modifications at the front to give us a wonderful roomy home.

Impressed with the progress !
We are impressed with the progress so far of the construction of our new home by Coral Homes, under supervision of [Name Removed]! From our first engagement on the start of the job, [Name Removed] shown himself as a professional and diligent construction supervisor. He came to the meeting with prepared construction progress plan. The plan sounded very impressive and very aggressive, time wise, almost too good to believe! But the funny part is, we believe construction was running little bit ahead of schedule at times!
We did have some challenge...Read more
s in the project getting to the start of the construction (contract negotiation and getting the construction loan from the bank), but once the ball started rolling, we couldn't be happier! And it seems to be the quality of the work is exceptional. Regular status update and open channel to communication ensures that any minor issues are resolved quickly. The builder is flexible to accept reasonable minor variations while the construction is in progress. This is a fixed cost contract, the construction has no surprises whatsoever from the budget and cost perspective. It seems it became a family tradition to build houses with Coral Homes. This is a third house our extended family builds with Coral Homes and our son considers Coral Homes for his next home too!1 comment

1st and last
We built with coral and while the build had a couple of hiccups they were fixed when pointed out, the build itself went ok but the maintenance period is the problem. The driveway was poured in the rain and while hosing it off one day i blew a hole in it with a garden hose. Reported it and some one came and shoved sand and cement in with their hand and that was the repair, eventually they ground the whole driveway back and epoxy coated it. We moved in and the toilet backed up within 2 weeks. Had the pipes repaired due to concretors driving pegs ...Read more
through them. 3 weeks later same issue. Had that fixed then out tank wasn't filling after weeks of rain, same issue. We've been in the maintenance period for 12 months now and are still waiting on issues to be fixed. Front window won't open properly, people call and set appointments to look at things but don't show up, we've taken days off for this several times. My fiance sliced her finger open and had 3 stitches due to the oven not being installed correctly. You can point the issues out 100 times but they still just fix the easy stuff, we are now on our 3rd maintenance guy and i don't hold much hope for things being finished soon. The recesses in our hallway were out of square way past the fair trading guide to tolerances, the maintenance office could see it the plasterer came to look at it and his supervisor "couldn't see the problem". We had plans on building again for investment but Coral won't be doing it. The tiles in the bathroom are out of level, the guy from Beaumont tiles looked and said it needs fixing that was 8 months ago, I can stick my thumb behind the tiles in the shower, there is a 20mm bump in the skirting underneath the window that is binding heavily when trying to open it. The issues remaining have finally been rectified. Given that we've been in the house 18 months and the fact that the issues left were only taken seriously once I left a bad review on ieatwords.com.au doesnt change my opinion of coral homes.Similar opinion?

how is coral homes in terms of pricing are they expensive or price competitive ?
3 answers
Coral Homes, to me they are not expensive in price. I got the best out of my budget and quality things in our house.
My experience with Coral homes was not the cheapest quote but very competitive with other quotes. I wanted a steel construction. Coral came out in front.
We compared prices of lots of builders in SE QLD, Coral Homes was one of the most affordable and we found they also had very welcoming Sales Consultants after visiting around 4-5 showhomes of theirs.

Hi just wondering if a coral home is approx 250k to build what would you say we should budget for in terms of hidden costs that’s not included. Thanks Kate
1 answer
60-70k from almost every builder. It’s not ‘hidden cost’ it’s just not included in the base plan as building is very custom.
Things to consider no matter the builder.
Slab, lighting(downlights), cooking/AC driveway, curtains, size appliances, bench tops. Vanities, carpet, tiles, vinyl. Ceiling fans. Phase power to house, solar, turf, fence. The facade can range from 0-20k as well. My suggestion would be if you know your end budget talk to Coral homes tell them that’s your limit and what your needs are and work with them on a plan to suit.
