We have a difficult site with about 10m fall front to back and a landslip issue. We looked at lots of builders and architects to help us maximise potential of our site.

We were impressed by Latitude 37's awards history and the style of the homes on their website. While they have an in house design team, we opted to use Latitude's Architect design service. For a slightly higher price, we got a full Architect design for our 80 square home. Latitude engaged [name removed] Design to provide the concept design.

We decided not to appoint ...Read more

Have had very similar problems to retrowizard (an earlier post). If you value your nerves and sanity, I would recommend you look elsewhere. Poor quality / inexperienced tradesmen used which subsequently leads to ridiculous mistakes and long delays. No apologies or reasons given when contract expiry came and went. Painfully slow process. Initially promised 6-8 months build time, but they still allowed themselves almost 10 months in the contract. Now coming up to 12 months and still not finished with no completion date able to be confirmed (no ch...Read more

A number of issues have been experienced:
Took exremely long time for drawing approval process.
Communication could have been better throughout planning phase and in some instances during build phase.
Some poor quality workmanship has resulted in a number of problems during the build. Some problems have been fixed immediately but others have required a lot of debate before convincing Latitude to fix them properly. Very expensive when changes or additions are requested after signing of contract. Latitude are not happy and rarely give answers ...Read more

It was our dream to be in our home by Christmas - L37 made this happen! Built within contract period in what must have been the wettest year in 10 years!

L37 have built us a truly original tri level custom home on a difficult sloping block at the foothills of the dandenongs. No surprise we had a few issues along the way as we expected. Who doesn't? We commend them for the way the dealt with this. We must commend them also on locking in all the details at contract stage, we had very few variations along the way and ended up only $3k over t...Read more

We enjoyed nothing but professionalism and great service throughout the construction of our new house in Lysterfield.

We started with a difficult site, some builders saw only problems where L37 could see opportunity and challenge. The concept design stage was extensive, with many obstacles to overcome (building envelopes, height restrictions, steep fall), however L37 persevered and found solutions to ultimately come up with a great design.

Construction went smoothly and was supervised well, the site supervisor was always available and we...Read more

Pros: Latitude 37 demonstration of quality and attention to detail from the architect design through to end of the build was the main drivers for the successful build of our home supported by good supervision and selection of really top trade people resulting in good value for great quality.
Cons: None that reflect badly on Latitude 37 and even though there were several meetings to select the interior colours and fittings Lat/37 were very helpful and it was really part of the success of the build and certainly avoided conflict during construc...Read more

We have taken possession of our new home built by Latitude 37, and are incredibly happy with the end result.

From the outset we found the Latitude team very responsive to our endless questions, and great when it came to developing a design and approach to suit the unique nature of our block.

Our site manager [name removed] managed the 11 month build, beginning with the knocking down of the old home on our block, through to final handover.  We were very pleased with the level of communication and feedback from [name removed].  We were g...Read more

My wife and I begun a journey with L37 homes nearly 3 years ago. Our dream was to find a block in the suburb we chose and have a home built for our children to grow up in.
We did the usual thing and visited all of the display home sites and although we liked different aspects of different homes nothing fitted our block shape and each time we said the word "change floor plan to fit" the price doubled. We found L37 and asked the same questions. To our excitment they said "of course we can".
After the initial meetings and further discussions ar...Read more

Very excited as we have just taken possession of our new property built by L37! We had been searching for a builder for some time to work with our requirements and L37 have done a terrific job of meeting our expectations in terms of service, quality of product, timeliness of delivery and budget.
We would regularly drive down past the property as it was being built to check on progress (as you do) and we always found that the progress being made was what we were being told. Our expectations were managed well and any time that we had any questio...Read more

Bought a block, signed up for the build then had to move from Vic to NSW!!. We went with the Latitude 37 team as we could get the design we wanted, versus a fixed plan, with the benefit of a fixed a contracted price and build schedule. We obviously had concerns about a 'remote' build however we have been very impressed with the communication and regular updates as to progress and the whole thing is currently running to the contracted build time.

We were coming down monthly to view and every week our site manager (absolute champion) would ri...Read more
