Happy customer
The build was delivered to the expected requirements even though we had some issues here & there.
The support from sales(Adam Keleher), office(Stacey Maxwell) and supervisor(Rob Bahn) was great even though some of the things we had to accept and move on. I feel no one will be satisfied in every point of view.
There are still few things to be sorted by external contractors or otherwise supervisor has helped us to move in at his best during this uncertain Covid-19 period.
Overall we are happy with complete DFH process ....
Thank you.

Post service nightmare
It could have been a 4.5 but post construction has been a nightmare.
The house was handover 5 months ago and I have been trying to get an issue with the windows and eaves fixed since then.
Dennis Family Homes has accepted there is a problem after sending multiple emails and raising the case multiple times.
They have emailed back multiple excuses from the likes of “they are not responsable for the wind” to that I did not answer the phone and never reply to the voice mail to schedule the works.
Well that call was never done and a voice mail was...Read more
never left, at least not to my phone number that they obviously have right since it was in the contract, same as my email for them to send the invoices just on time. As sure as it 2020 and technology record all. Five months are running now and had to raised the case to VBA last week. I will post here the outcome of the process or if someone form DFH read this and is willing to help me to raise the case to someone that actually cares about customers satisfaction then I will be more than happy to solve this in a friendly manner as I noted in my emails over the five months.Similar opinion?

Beautiful build at high quality
After what seemed like a slow start the build took off quickly. The quality of the workmanship was great.
We had a few issues, one being that the front door was stained wrong but that was corrected and we are very happy. The other was some yellow bollards at the gas metre that we were told had to be there. We followed this issue up ourselves with the gas supplier and had it resolved.

Great service. Satisfied customer
Warragul build location.
From day one, we had a great experience building with Dennis Family Homes. We were in the market for our first home for more than 12 months and we decided to give every builder a chance to "sell to us". One day we decided to wander into Dennis Family Homes display and see what they are all about, we didn't immediately get to deal with our sales consultant as he was busy. Luckily for our sales consultant Jordan from Officer, he contacted us as we were just about to make our decision and we decided on a perfect floorplan...Read more

we build our first house with Dennis family home. Lisa our first contact person, she was very kind and helpful and always willing to answer our queries promptly, then we shift to another person for administration and colour choice they were also professional and helpful. we found only the building supervisor was always in a rush of transferring the things, I completely understand he had other assignments as well but consider we were the clients as well
The whole process went out smoothly, we like the quality of work and the products as well there were only few small concerns in the house but nothing big or major, I recommend to the people if they looking affordable without compromising the quality of house.

Fantastic experience!
From the moment we walked through a display home to the time we received our keys five weeks ago, our experience building with Dennis Family Homes has been nothing short of outstanding. We looked at many homes and builders before deciding upon DFH's Ekati 25, which suited both our lifestyle and budget.
Our sales consultant, Adam Keheler, was extremely knowledgeable and helpful, but did his best to facilitate our ideas.
We were also very pleased with the help from our contract manager, Stacey Maxwell, who managed all the documentation in a fri...Read more
endly and efficient manner. Likewise, colour consultant, Joanne De Jesus, was friendly, patient and skilled with her advice and suggestions. We could not speak more highly enough of our building supervisor, Michael Brentnall. His attitude and communication are excellent, and, in our view, nothing is too much trouble for him. His is a man of his word.1 comment

Great Service
From the outset in dealing with Dennis Homes we have received efficient and courteous communications with all the team. Sean our supervisor was fantastic, always keeping us informed of what has completed and what's coming up next. His ability to juggle trades and get their commitments to deliver on time was a key reason our build went smoothly and in a quicker time frame than we expected. I would definitely recommend Dennis Family Homes for your next build.

Build on the Mornington Peninsula
We looked at several builders before visiting Dennis Family Homes. From the time we first visited a Dennis Family display we experienced a different level of customer service. The consultant was genuine in their approach towards helping us find the design that best suited our needs, the needs of my children and grandchildren. The Olinda 263 design really stood out from the other builders products, it complimented our block and our lifestyle. Once we finalised our design choice it was an effortless and seamless transition to the completion of our new home in Tootgarook. We love the functionality and the quality of our new home and our extended family love spending sunny days with us after their day at the beach.

Quality at an Affordable Price!!!
Although we never plan to live in our Investment property, we were reliably informed that the most important things when building an investment property are to buy close to infrastructure, select a functional floor plan and choose a builder that will deliver a quality product.
The Team at Dennis Family assisted us in satisfying all of these expectations. Through their knowledge of house and land packages they helped us source land close to existing train stations, shopping centers and schools. The consultant Adam K assisted us with choosing t...Read more
he right design to suit the demographic of tenants in the area and he also sought out local agents views on the design for re-assurance of rent ability and future re-sale. Finally Dave our supervisor delivered a quality home through his co-ordination of trades and eye for detail.

Brilliant Service!
Cheryl J was just amazing to deal with. She didn't try to oversell me on things I didn't need but she gave fantastic insights into what I had forgotten to include. My first build some years ago (with another company) was a nightmare but DFH and Cheryl were just awesome and the build quality was first class. So good, that I am building another home with them in 3 months.

Home sweet NEW home.
. Thanks to Justin and with his connections we found our block of land.
. Everything was well managed, anything that was addressed was given full attention, during all stages of construction, Bernardo (our Supervisor) always made the time to be available when we needed to discuss issues (not that there were many anyway)
. Workmanship and Build quality was all very good
. Final build cost was fair and reasonable without any nasty and or hidden surprises.

A Dream come true! Thanks DFH
From the beginning, we were in discussions with another of the top volume builders who we honestly just felt like a number. No you can't do that, can't change this, have to pay this extra and that extra (Why? Because you have to!) etc etc etc. We dragged them out, and thank god we did, as we weren't 100% happy and had a bad gut feeling about them. It was only by chance we were recommended to speak to DFH and we thought, why not. From the moment we met Stefani, we just knew, can't explain it until you experience it. We'd already chosen a design ...Read more
we liked from their range but it wasn't exactly what we wanted as our dream home. To our surprise, she focused on all our requirements and made changes we never thought were possible. We left our first appointment refreshed with hope and we could see the light. We continued to work extensively with Stef who was always accommodating, always answered our calls, and continued to work behind the scenes on our design with options and advice, before we even paid a deposit! We honestly thought it was too good to be true but we were happy and kept working on our project which it felt like it was becoming a reality, and it eventually did. The only frustration early on was there did seem to be long delays between meetings and updates. Not Stef's fault, but just the order in the company's long production of yearly builds I suppose. Months went passed and although it felt forever, we finally saw progress. Once the build started it flew along, from slab stage, to framework, roofing, brickwork and so on. We visited often seeing it progress and despite seeing it for ourselves, we had numerous neighbors compliment at how well organised and clean the build was, and I'm not lying! We had quite a few builds going on in our street at the same time and we had many tell us ours looked the best, in terms of workmanship, which just confirmed our correct decision even more. We did have the disappointment of a change of SS early on, which made us worry, but from one to the other there didn't seem to be a huge change in professional standards which we were happy bout. I just wanted to also add that even when we called the office for a question, our contract manager was also on the ball and knew exactly what stage we were at, which just made us feel well looked after. I also want to honestly say yes we did encounter issues, some big, some small, but all got taken care of in a professional manner and we always felt like the customer being looked after, not bullied as we've heard many others say with their stories. During our end of build walk through, we did find quite a few issues but we were encouraged to pick everything big or small and nothing was hidden or made excuses for. A week later we were invited back for a final inspection and handover and wow, everything was rectified to our satisfaction and we were very happy to sign our dream home off. It looks amazing! Thanks so much to everyone involved in our build within the company and despite the nightmare stories you get told by many within the building industry, I can honestly say, we are extremely happy and impressed with our home. Thanks Dennis Family Homes, we will be recommending you to all of our friends and family. A toast from us! Cheers1 comment

A great finish!!
After a considerable amount of research and talking to quite a few builders, we eventually decided to build with Dennis Family. From my own knowledge of the building industry and independent investigation, Dennis Family ticked all the boxes. We also felt comfortable with the Dennis Family Consultant Adam Keleher, who followed up requests from me during the building process. The construction started a bit later than what we would have preferred, but when it did it was great to watch as they worked many weekends and public holidays we could se...Read more

Knock down Rebuild with DFH
Took my wife and I a lot of looking over many, many months. Before by chance we parked out front of a DFH display and decided to take a look. The layout is what we had been looking for and the pricing was competitive. Adam Keleher was our Sales Consultant and was most helpful and stayed in contact all the way through the project. Took longer than anticipated to get it done, but most of that was outside agencies. The build itself went quite smoothly, with no major issues and all questions responded to in a timely manor. Only been in a short wh...Read more

Fantastic experience from start to finish
From initial discussions with our sales consultant Richard at Berwick Waters who guided us through the steps of building, through the whole process up to the start of our build with Stacey (our contract admin) and the build with Michael (our supervisor), we couldn't have imagined our home would be as amazing as it is.
We are so in love with our home and couldn't be happier that we chose to build with Dennis Family Homes. The quality is fantastic & the build went so smoothly. We felt supported by all people involved along the way & no question went unanswered.
We highly recommend anyone looking to build a new home to speak to Richard. He has gone above and beyond to make our experience a very pleasant one. We can't thank him enough

Great company, great experience, great home
From the initial meeting with my sales consultant, the superviser and everyone in between the whole process was run smoothly and efficiently and I couldn't be happier with the end result of my new home.
The choices and flexibility offered was second to none. It was great to see the consistency of the fantastic build quality that I first saw in the display homes be built the same way in my own home.

Fantastic experience with amazing final finishings !!
I chose Mortlake 293S with Vogue facade from DFH and built in Melbourne West.
I am very satisfied with the overall quality of build, finishings and most importantly, professionalism with any of the DFH people that I came across during my build starting from the SalesConsultant to the final Building Supervisor. I would specifically give my compliments to my Sales Consultant "Lisa" who was the initial reason for choosing DFH, for her extreme patience in acknowledging and answering all our last minute changes or queries :) and Building Su...Read more
pervisor "Brent" for addressing any of the issues/concerns raised. I would definitely recommend DFH to anyone, especially first home buyers, as you have ample display homes around Melbourne. Especially, if you don't know much about what you need to select, the packages that DFH provide had many options that might easily fit in. The only cons I would like to say is build time might seem to be bit more than the market but it seems minor when compared to quality.1 comment

Talk about a quick turnaround, from our land settlement (Jul-18) to Site Start (Oct-18) to the completion of our build (May-19) we honestly had the most wonderful experience with the Team at Dennis Family Homes. It really was a dream run, but it was definitely a team effort that got us settled into our very own first family home.

Our site Supervisor Dean MacNamara, truly went above & beyond for us to make us feel like we were his only clients, even with his busy schedule. Dean made sure all defects were fixed quickly so we could get the keys. We love our Ekati 25 Dennis Family Home and could not be happier with the process.

I had issues throughout our whole building process from start to finish. I was building in melbournes western suburbs, would constantly have to wait for responses from our sales consultant. We had fixed site costs from the beginning of 21,500, they conducted a site survey in September 2018 and fixed the site costs.
Then we continued on and pushed our hardest to get a colour showroom appointment and we were finally able to get a appointment in February 2022 due to wanting to use the new showroom. We then waited around 5 weeks assuming the next s...Read more
