We have a beautiful home but not without its problems. Things went pretty well with the build and that’s mostly thanks to [name removed] our supervisor who was awesome. I don’t think you save any money or TIME by using their lift process however it is impressive. Our disappointment comes from after the maintenance period expires. After sales is very important and can be a great positive point of difference for companies. We have had some minor roof leaks and found that some of the roof sheeting on our south side has heaps of screws missing. We...Read more
are still waiting for the maintenance team. It’s been about 3 months and a couple of calls and no one has made contact. Overall we love our new home which we saved 20 years for but I recon GL could do even better if they were more obliging when it comes to after handover claims and maintenance. .I will continue to wait. UPDATE 6 March 2020 - still no contact from GL- sheets on roof still loose.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Top Quality Granny Flat that feels more like a 2 bedroom home!
Excellent service and a fantastic, quality built final product. My Granny Flat looks and feels more like a 2 bedroom home! We love the front elevation which you designed for us and the raked ceilings which give a real spacious feel to the main living areas. All staff were helpful and professional.
This is our second build with GLH having build our own new home in Madora Bay with GLH back in 2007 - our experience then was also the same with the team being very accommodating to help us find and build something a little different while still remaining efficient and practical. We love our home and it still feels and looks like new to us and now our granny flat investment is another win for GLH!
Excellent work GLH Team

We regret building with Great Living Homes
We received the keys to our GLH in late 2010 and sadly the quality of the build continues to disappoint us, five years after completion. The build was not without setbacks and issues. We were especially disappointed with the quality of construction - our concerns were dismissed by GLH. The finishing trades were especially poor. The standard of the internal plastering and external render continues to disappoint us. Great Living Homes claim to be a quality builder - this was not our experience! We are prepared to allow those of you who are consi...Read more
dering signing with this builder to view our home prior to signing and decide for yourself if you feel this builder completes a 'quality build.' We would willingly post photos demonstrating the poor plaster finishes and render finish but we are not able to post photos to this site.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Our place so far
When I looked on the net for an honest review of GLH I found it hard. Either there were very unhappy people or happy people. I'm hoping to give you a step by step honest Progress report. Hopefully this will help first time builders like my husband & I in the future.
Our first encounter with GLH was of course the sales rep. He went well above what any other sales rep had done for us. He took us onsite to show us a house (this was also because they have no display homes) and came to our home on numerous occasions to help get our plans cor...Read more
rect. Well the first price he came to us with was incorrect because the website prices were not updated, that was okay, these things do happen. So with the promise of a house built quicker than any other builder could deliver, the best price any builder could offer and outstanding quality as well! we signed the pre contract. We then got constantly badgered to knock down the old shack, build the retainer walls & fill the block. This we all had completed by Nov 2014, with promises of our pad being laid by Jan 2015. On the 11/12/14 we signed the contract with another price difference, our site works had gone up by 2.5 times that of the pre contract, a huge amount of money! We were told pick our tiles out, urgently. So once this was done, we did our pre start on the 16/1/15 & all variations were signed off 1/2/15. The young lady we had our pre start with was amazing & made our day very enjoyable. All of our council approvals were completed by 17/2/15. We were both very excited to get started, yet the wait began. Although we were told everything will all start to happen quickly now. Watch other people's homes and you will see how much faster we are. So we have been watching 2 other homes around us get built quicker than ours!! Our pad was completed on 10/4/15, 3 months later than originally promised. Once again I talked to the rep & he apologised but they were very busy. He said we should have our house completed by late Feb 2016! That makes it 12 months since our contracts we okayed at council. Not faster than other builders.10 comments

at our place for the last 3 weeks. Rendering & roof need to go on before they can raise the lower floor. We do have a sign & portable onsite toilet now. So really nothing to report. I don't think that they will make the 9 month build time as promised, as most of our house is ground floor. We only have entertaining upstairs, powder room & patio.

Positive Building Experience with Great Living Homes
We built the two storey Soverign home, with downstairs Master Bedroom, on a battleaxe block.
We located the house on the block so that the driveway drove straight into the garage and the front of the house and entrance was to the side.
We switched locations of upstairs Bedroom 4 and Living room, also opening the living room to the entrance void. Alterations to the garage, kitchen and the addition of an understair computer nook, alfresco, as well as additional windows in all bedrooms were easily accommodated by the GLH design team.

Very Happy To Build With GLH
I have recently completed my build of the two storey Davenport Classic with GLH in Wannanup (Port Bouvard).
Everyone that I dealt with were very professional (sales person, prestart, client liason, site supervisor). The build went smoothly and quickly. The house went up quickly after the slab was down in august 2013 and house were at lock up in February 2014 and practical completion at the end of march 2014. Customer service was excellent throughout, minor issues were quickly attended and resolved. I will be building again with GLH and I highly recommend them to everyone.
Smooth and quick build
Once you go two storey, you'll never go back.

e that we try to look after, and in turn they look after us. The end result is that the customer receives a quality home. A builder can advertise all they want about how great they are, but at the end of the day it all comes down to how good your trades are, and how experienced the supervisor is. This is where we place most of our energy so that our client receives the dream that they paid for. Once again thank you so much for your comments, many of our clients never write a review because they are happy with their home, and just continue on with their lives... as they should. For the fact that you were pleased with your home and the fact that you took the time to write a review, I thank you so very much. Regards Barry (GLH Management)Similar opinion?

Building 2nd Home with GLH
My first review on our first home was some time ago, some problems along the way but were impressed enough to build again with GLH.
We are soon to start construction on our 2nd house with GLH. It will be a very large 2 Storey house in Port Coogee.
I expect it will take along time to build due to size and it is a complex build. The builder has been ready to start for along time however the banks would not play nice so it took along time to get things organised. I expects the deposit to be paid next week and construction to start with in ...Read more
a few months. We have a concrete pool going in so this may be done prior to slab so that may delay the slab going down for awhile. The process up to now has been long but that is mostly our fault and banks. GLH have been very helpful and understanding during this time. We even had a 2nd mini restart to update our selections as it had been along time since pre start. This was at our request. I have found GLH to be friendly, easy to contact, I mostly use email and all requests are followed up within a few days mostly.2 comments

Very Pleased With the results
We built with GLH about 5 years ago. (We had built with 2 other builders on our earlier houses.) We were very happy with the design/consulting process. They readily accepted our ideas. They showed they have excellent building knowledge to produce what we wanted. A number of neighbours told us they were very impressed with the quality of the workmanship compared with what they experienced when they built with other companies. We'll be building again in the next 12 months and will definitely be using these guys again

We are first time builders so I do not have anything to compare against. We signed our preparation for plan agreement in early May 2012. We did not sign our building contract until after building approval from shire etc - I thought that was a little odd but was not an issue. Signed our contract in Feb 2013 a very long and frustrating delay. Our pad went down in May 2013 and was at lock up November 2013. The only real delay with construction was the availability of brickies so we had one bricky without a labourer. We have had some slight d...Read more

So far so good with GLH
This is the first time we’ve built and have no knowledge of the process so this review is purely about a fresh experience. Here is an overview of what we’ve experienced so far with Great Living Homes:
Pro’s
Excellent designs in the right price range. The only 2 storey builder that had what we wanted in the price we could afford.
Sales rep very flexible to meet with us outside of office hours as we both work full time .
Sales process more collaborative and flexible than one of the other builders we visited (who used high pressure sales and insisted we travel to Osbourne Park to meet them before they would discuss prices etc)
Design team able to include all our requested changes to plans and price these up quickly.

Be careful with your contract and you may lost your 1st instalment
I had a very bad experience with this company owner. Not only I lost about 8 months of my time backward forward to try to get the contract going, but also I lost $25,000 cash, this includes the 1st building deposit and consultation on the design. They should not push me to pay the first instalment when they have not finalised the detailed design. They keep change the plan. Original off-plan was $200K, 8 months later, with some variation required due to the Council's Restriction on the Drive Way and sit-back, it has gone up to over $300K (even t...Read more
hrough I think the Builder should be responsible to find out the rules before proposing the contract to the Customer). I have agreed to go ahead, signed the contract and paid the first instalment, but the changes continue on, evenif the sub-contractors already dropped their machines in my yard. The pre-start consultant from Great Living keep calling me and say that "oh, we forgot the lights in the toilet, require $2000", "oh, we forgot the power points in the bathroom, require $3000" or "oh, the paving on the right side of garage is needed, require $5000" ..... Never stop. When I told them this is not acceptable, not professional, and I do not agree to pay anymore for any more changes, the Managing Director Phil Jenner of the company in Mandura's office (14 Quarry Way) told me that "if you don't agree, you can cancel the Contract". Then the Contract was cancelled. I wrote many letters to Managing Director Phil Jenner over 8 months period, and requested the refund. No response from him or his company at all. This was happened in 2009-2010. I did logged a formal complaint to the Builder's Board. From Google, I found this website. I think "productreview.com.au" is a very necessary, very important, very useful and very helpful site to general public. Thank you "productreview.com.au" and God bless you for your kind help to our community. The consultant named Gordon was friendly. He is sub-contractor and does not work in Mandurh's office.

e exposed aggregate is correct. If the slab gets hairline crack or there is a plumbing issue (which sometimes does happen), the concrete is virtually inpossible to repair without it being very noticeable. I have seen many instances of this in other homes that I have viewed, and I find it very unattractive. As your builder, we are just trying to avoid using difficult products.

Unmitigated disaster, and uncooperative
...a disaster!
The house has taken 2 1/2 years to build, things have been redone several times over and there was little or no support or communication from the builder. Their supervisors have far too many houses to supervise and deadlines are a joke. Our house is a disgrace to Great Living Home and they do not care. After a year of delays they still thought it was necessary to pursue us over a $300 claim for pavers. Shamefull behaviour.
I would absolutely not recommend Great Living Homes to anyone.
We are regular people just trying to get our dream home built and GLH have destroyed that dream.
Buyer beware.
Huge time delays, many items being redone several times to get them right. Quality is disgraceful.

erday, I discovered that not only did we get the items finished, we got the home completed within the contract period that your partner agreed to, and signed. I suggest that before you start sledging a builder, that you get you facts correct. As far as the "Poor Communication" is concerned, I have also looked through the emails that were continually sent from you guys, and I have to say, I am not surprised that our staff were reluctant to contact you. Our staff are employees that have no financial interest in Great Living Homes, and should never be spoken to in that manner. If it was me, I would not have returned the phone call or email either. Just because a builder is building your home, it does not anyone the right to act in that type of manner.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

There is no doubt that when you behave and speak with our staff during the building process,the way that you did, I am surprised that our staff phoned you back at all. You reap what you sow. All homes being built have issues of some description, this is just the nature of the building industry, but the majority of our clients, listen, negotiate and work a way forward in a civilized fashion. This is how situations get resolved. Obusing and threatening legal action every 5 minutes is not the way to win friends or influence people.It is amazing how quick a response you receive on this web page. It is a shame you do not get the same response when you ring the office!

building "Great Homes" now and into the future. Building with Great Living Homes has been a most satisfying experience for my partner and I. From the first meeting with Great Living Homes sales department we felt there was a genuine concern to recognise our personal needs and try to accommodate them into our budget. From there all paperwork was clear and concise and the intensive pre start meeting assisted us to finalise any queries we still had. As the building of our home progressed we delighted in taking a keen interest in its development. Our building superviser was at all times available either by telephone or person if contact with him by us was needed. As we are now retired may I say that we thoroughly enjoyed watching the stages of building and it has helped us appreciate just what goes into bringing a plan to a finished product. Like others who find they need to rent while building their dream home, finances can be stretched. This can be a trying time towards the end of the building process. The sooner the finishing date is advised the easier it is to book any other contractors, such as for carpets etc. Then rental agents also can be advised of vacating dates and money can be saved.1 comment

I understand that you had a little trouble with your rental agreement and our misleading you at one point, but as you are now aware, it is not always easy to predict a completion date because of many different contributing factors (weather and product shortages etc.).

I have been reading the comments of this forum and fell as though I have to comment, Greg I feel sorry for you as we went though the same problems with Great Living Homes Mandurah hang in there as they have to produce a out come of you PPA.
Please dont build with this company as they are so dishonest and their words don't mean a thing, they have cost me and my husband thousands and thousands of dollars above what we were first told, I must admit that at the end of the day we actually do love our house but we paid heaps more that were actually quoted by Great Living Homes
and yes Oneness is so condescending he must be [name removed] from Great Living Homes surely they didn't produce two of him.

How long roughly dose it take from sign up to finish???
1 answer
Baz6718Great Living Homes
That is a really good question. Are you talking about sign up of the PPA (preparation of plans agreement or the HIA Building Contratc? It also depends upon single or double storey, standard or one off design, area being built, does it need planning approval, would you be adhering to R-Codes and the local planning policies (most people don't), retaining requirements, soil classification etc etc.
If you were building on an A Class site, flat, 2 storey std plan, in Mandurah (i.e. no planning approval), no R-Code variations and minimal site works, then I would suggest a the home would take approximately 10-11 months from the the latest date of all the approvals and finance conditions. We cannot start the home until we have all the approvals and the deposit (generally 6.5%) from you or your bank. This is the date that the builder can commence.
So the question you ask is very broad. I hope this helps.
