We love our new home!
We chose GJ Gardner Homes Riverland due to the solid reputation of the professional & friendly team in the Renmark office, combined with the high quality local tradesman. They guided us through the minefield of options available these days for all parts of the build, including colour selections. We honestly couldn’t have done it without them & are thrilled with the final result.

Good Salesperson Bad Build
Salesperson was good and had good solutions to pre-building queries. I have had an ongoing problem with little interest or follow up shown by any staff to fix or check on it after some rectifications to fix it have been done. The roofing coy have been back 5 times to fix another problem. I will never use or recommend this builder again.

Dream team built my dream home
From start to finish, from the initial design consultation with Kane, right through to the handover with Peter and the team we could not fault one step of the process. Dave, our site supervisor was fantastic, as were all of the trades we encountered on the building site. Nothing was an issue, they always went above and beyond my expectations. Could not be happier with the final outcome, which is the home of my dreams.

We have not been disappointed with GJs at any point during the planning and building of our home, and are delighted with the finish. The house was delivered ahead of schedule and in time for our first Christmas on Phillip Island.
We were communicating our ideas and points for clarification by phone and email from Queensland and at no time were we made to feel a nuisance. Maintaining our trust in them was never an issue, they fully understood what we sought to achieve and delivered above our expectations.

My Dream Home is perfect beyond my wildest dreams. Being a first time build for me, I thought it was going to be a very stressful process, but Michael from G.J. Gardner (Hawkesbury) explained the whole construction process every step of the way.
Michaels flexibility to modify my ideas into plans was second to none. He was very patient and extremely helpful in the design phase. Michael went above and beyond for me every step of the way.

Being first time new build clients we had no idea how we were going to manage getting our Dream house built until speaking with Chris from G J Gardner's Tamworth office. From the very start we had an idea in our head on what our forever house would be but Chris was able to help us in putting our ideas onto plans with the fantastic flexibility that G J's provide in being able to modify their existing plans into custom built homes with quality fittings and inclusions at reasonable affordable pricing.

inding the best possible land site that would be the best fit for my family to live. From the start of the process through to the end we had had nothing but excellent service and attention from each and every member of the team to ensure our build was what we had always dreamed of. The team always went above and beyond to help even with the smallest of details as G J's really pride themselves on delivering the best quality possible and me and my family could not be any happier with the final result. The whole team made the experience special and enjoyable. Jay provided weekly updates and photos each week and was always in contact whenever we needed a question answered and her happy friendly smile and positive attitude always greeted us at the front counter whenever we would drop into the office. Marilyn and Maree in accounts were terrific and incredibly helpful and a pleasure to deal with and always willing to assist anyway possible. Jeremy our onsite project manager was terrific to deal with and was able to help us make onsite decisions to ensure we had an incredible build. His insight and building knowledge help us make necessary changes to ensure we had a quality build. From the experience we have had from beginning to finished product we can say that G J's use the best quality materials and the best qualified tradespeople who know their craft inside and out and deliver to the highest standards. Building our dream forever house with G J'S has been one of the best decisions we made and would certainly not hesitate in recommending them to anyone wishing to build a new home, as I have found Dan & Nat and their wonderful team build homes for their clients not just a house.1 comment

Building the house for the first time, I think I made the best choice possible
I came to GJ Gardner because the original builder after 2 months of back and forth decided to pull out of the build. Simon and the team went way above what I would consider as great service to make sure that the build went as smoothly as possible. They knew that I had to complete the build by a certain date and eventhough there were problems beyond their control (gas, power, etc...), they were truly amazing in keeping me up date and delivering on time. The quality of all the work is excellent, and 12 months in, there are virtually no issues at ...Read more
all. I had everything going against me in the build, from the soil report, utilities, etc but I cannot express how great the team were in managing this, coordinating and solving everything. Minus the variations I asked for (which were all accommodated even during the construction), the costs were as agreed in the contract. If I had to build again, I would not hesitate to go directly to the Simon, Anyeta and Hayden.1 comment

we had were answered in a timely manner. The trades were friendly and always great to work with. We are a week from our handover date and we could not be more impressed with the quality of work in our home.

We cannot recommend G.J Gardner Homes Naracoorte/Mount Gambier enough to our family and friends. The quality is second to none and it honestly shows in their work.1 comment

Questions & Answers
Tiffany I.asked
Land price $159,000 alone with house package price $100,000 alone together total $259,000 right?
1 answer
Andrew B.G.J. Gardner Homes
Hi Tiffany
Thanks for reaching out.
Is the house and land you are referencing listed as a G.J. Gardner house and land package or have you found a block of of land thats price is $159K?
There will always be variables when it comes to the costing of building a home adn the block of land that a home is built on usually provides the most variables.
Have you been in contact with your local G.J. Gardner office to discuss the block of land in question?
If not we certainly recommend that you do.
Here is a helpful article that can assist you in preparing for discussing a home build with any builder https://blog.gjgardner.com.au/58-essential-questions-to-ask-a-builder/

Andrew B.G.J. Gardner Homes
Hi L BZ
I guess if you only focus on the negative experiences that have been had, then that's all you will see. We have over 850, 5 start reviews from customers that reflect a very different experience to the 39 that have not been satisfied with their experience.
Each and every home build is different as each and every home is built to a customer personalisation. Nothing about this process is cookie cutter and whilst we do acknowledge that we are not perfect, our feedback from customers overwhelmingly tells a positive story.
At the end of the day you need to feel comfortable with whomever you choose to go down this path with, and we absolutely encourage you to do as much homework on the process and what you are looking for, before you sign anything.

BrittyJasked
Why does it cost $8.5k to increase ceilings in a 187sqm house plan?
3 answers
Andrew B.G.J. Gardner Homes
Hi BrittyJ
Without knowing the specifics of the house plan it’s difficult to comment.
Did you obtain this quote through a GJ office?
Yes, I've been back and forth, many appointments. We've been finalizing a quote that I'm could be happy with, but finding it hard. Details are the oceanside 187 floor plan with beach facade of the nova plan in Express inclusions. Building in Gol gol NSW with mildura branch.
I just don't understand there is minimum over a 5k difference to other volume builders.
I watched as he entered the information, so I know there's price for internal and external height increases and that it's worked out by measurements.
2.7 height ceiling is a must have for me, so at that price GJ Gardner will be a no go, which is unfortunate for the sales rep and I who have put in a lot of time.
Andrew B.G.J. Gardner Homes
Hi BrittyJ
Again not knowing all the history of your experience we can only go by the info presented.
The home build industry is notorious for being vague when it comes to the quoting of a home. At GJs we try to be upfront and honest in all facets of your quote.
Many builders do not provide line item details in their quotes so the “savings” you could be seeing are simply being moved around.
You also need to ensure the home design structures you are comparing are similar enough to compare the ceiling upgrade differences. (Have you shared the other builder plans and quotes you are referencing with your GJ builder?)
At the end of the day it’s your decision and you need to be comfortable with what you are signing up for.
