We were extremely happy with the Medallion experience, from the initial design and development through to the building process and handover. We enjoyed the interactive design process and any questions or changes that we identified were quickly addressed by the Medallion team. The approvals process through Council was painless and expedient and with Medallion's assistance were able to modify our design and maximise our building envelope. Once the build process got underway, the job went quickly and very smoothly. Craig, our site supervisor was e...Read more
xceptional - always available to assist with our queries, regularly meeting us on site and worked closely with Genevieve to facilitate solutions to any challenges that arose. The tradespeople we met on site were very professional, courteous and helpful. We were amazed at how smoothly the build went starting in late April, completed in 7 months and we were in our home and fully settled well before Xmas. The Medallion team helped us deliver an outstanding and beautifully finished home that has met all of our needs and wants. We would have no hesitation in recommending Medallion Homes.Similar opinion?

We are extremely happy with our beautiful Medallion home which was tailored perfectly to our needs. The friendly and responsive Medallion staff in sales, design, administration and construction, all worked as a team to help us reach our goal in an amazingly short timeframe. The quality and workmanship of the tradespeople and suppliers used by Medallion was impressive. The construction was coordinated in the capable hands of our extremely knowledgeable and patient site manager, who always kept us updated throughout every stage of the process. Thanks Medallion.

We were lucky enough to purchase a Medallion home when it was almost complete and we have fallen in love with it from the beginning! The entire process from initial contact until post construction was very smooth and productive. It was a real pleasure dealing with Mark, Agent, who has always been responsive and helpful. Nothing was too hard for him! We strongly felt that he was looking after us and our satisfaction was his priority. Peter, Director, has been very supportive as well as great and easy to communicate with. Peter was generous with ...Read more
his time and advise, and even found some time in his busy schedule to meet with us in person. Peter has been open and flexible, and endorsed some last minute changes which we had proposed. As a result, the house has everything what we needed and wanted. It is our dream house! The design has been fantastic with every aspect having been well thought through. The finish has been equally impressive and the house has met our needs in 100%. The Medallion team organised a thorough handover on a settlement day with Josh, Supervisor, showing and explain key matters. Josh has been another great asset to the team. During all interactions with his, Josh has been very helpful, professional and solution-focused. Last but not least, Genevieve, admin staff, has always been very helpful, understanding and responsive to our emails. We could not be happier with the entire process and the end product, and cannot speak highly enough of Medallion Homes. Thank you!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

A caring Builder
We are Delighted with all aspects of the building process from start to finish the service we received from all suppliers during our selection process was informative and provided in such a way that we all understood what was available and how they worked. The professionalism that was delivered during our design stage was truly fantastic Medallion certainly have a great team. The building supervision was outstanding ( being a retired builder I think I am very qualified to know ) the supervisor gave me a great deal of freedom to visit the and look and chat with the contractors above all he ensured the end product he delivered was stunning.

Top quality finish
From start to finish Medallion Homes delivered highly professional service.
The firms which Medallion referred us to for various selections (such as electrical,tiling, plumbing and carpentry) were also of a highly professional standard.
We are extremely happy with the attention to detail and the resulting top quality finish of all aspects of the build. Our building supervisor was at all times receptive and proactive in addressing the issues that we raised with him.
As we are retired we visited the house every three or four days of the build...Read more

Features we love are brick work at the front of the home, highlight windows connecting us to the outdoors in key areas of the home, in-roof storage (fantastic for families) and pelmet lighting in entrance hallway as a feature piece as people enter/exit the house amongst many others.

ho was caring, attentive and respectful at all times. Nothing was too much trouble and we always felt at easy knowing that our site supervisor was across everything at all times. All trades were the same and a easy to work with and have discussions about any element we wanted to talk about or questions to ask. Customer service and support was always timely, consistent and connected to our vision of what we wanted to achieve with our home and the key reasons/drivers for wanting to build the home. We have no hesitation recommending and endorsing Medallion Homes to our friends, family and associates. Thank you Medallion Homes for our experience over the journey of the build.Similar opinion?

It is the second time we have built a house, and the first time with Medallion Homes. We were impressed with the company at each stage of the building process, from the first discussions on house design options through to completion and the 3-month maintenance follow-up phase. The staff did a great job of taking us through the various steps, and were fantastic at getting back with answers to any questions we had. The build itself went smoothly, and Medallion demonstrated excellent Project Management, with the completion being achieved in a very timely fashion. We are extremely happy with the final result and highly recommend Medallion Homes.

The entire process from the first time we met the entire Medallion team to the finished product could not have been made any easier.

Somerton Park - Two storey home
This is our 4th home in 40 years of marriage, but our first build. We had looked at Medallion designs, so were happy to proceed with a Medallion project at Somerton Park. The planning process went well, and Medallion's recommended suppliers were helpful. The house was finished in May 2017, close to the target date set. Most of the contractors who work for Medallion have been doing so for many years, as they get continuous work exclusively with Medallion, and so the standard of work is high.
Testing times come when something goes wrong; we expe...Read more

Woodville South, Medallion you have delivered what you promised ...thank you
First time building and what a wonderful experience. Medallion delivered on everything that we discussed including the handover date. We are extremely happy with our new home, the quality of the build is amazing and nothing was too much trouble . Everyone at Medallion Homes is so professional, and extremely prompt with getting information back to you, their follow up can not be faulted. As we were on site each day it was great to meet the tradesmen working on our house who have all worked for Medallion for many years which in its self tells a story about the company. We would build with Medallion again in a heartbeat. Well done guys

1st time build a home
Durning the construction period, there were couple incidents happened, but all solved with professional manners.
As the 1st time build a house and we have moved in for 8 months so far, Medallion Homes has given us a quality house and post-handover maintenances were efficient. We are very happy about results and appreciated we have found a professional builder like Medallion Homes in Adelaide.

We enjoyed our Medallion building experience and are daily enjoying a beautiful home.
Medallion is an excellent builder because of their dedicated and professional staff and tradesmen. The supervisor was detailed in his work and his dedication ensured we had a quality built home. Their project manager helped us choose the right material and colours. Every tradesman that Medallion we met were so positive with Medallion and many mentioned that Medallion always paid them on time, which gave us added confidence that the Medallion tradesmen would ensure that they did the best job they could. The Medallion on going support after we were handed the keys continued their testimony of reliability by fixing any issues we found. Would we build with Medallion again? Without any hesitation we would.

Love our medallion resort
Our Medallion Home was completed in early 2012 and ever since we have thoroughly loved the resort type life style the home and property has offered
Our allotment was unique in that it offered a Northern aspect to the rear with water views and magnificent hills views to the South . The designer at Medallion Homes capitalised on these views and we now have a fantastic outlook from almost every room in the home. Our kitchen/living areas overlook the Northern ( water ) views through a 7.0m long window wall onto a huge timber deck/alfresco area ...Read more
, the upper storey living area has the same views, as soon as you step into the front door you can see the water and all of the bedrooms enjoy hills views, just like a resort every room has a fantastic view . The Medallion Homes process from start to finish was professional and seamless from the first time we saw their beautiful Display Homes oozing sophistication and elegance coupled with lots of practical ideas ; to the exciting and rewarding Design phase ; to the very transparent pricing phase ( our sales consultant could actually demonstrate to us at their display homes all of the schedule items ie: appliances, toilets, basins, taps, joinery, doors, windows etc. etc he was going to price into our home, the other builders we saw gave us a list of schedule items none of which were in their displays, the fact that we could see these items and that they were obviously of a high quality gave us confidence we were choosing the right builder ) ; to the very helpful,professional and knowledgable Project Managers who worked closely with us to ensure our selections were well coordinated and that all of the minute details were considered and explored, nothing was too much trouble ; to the very approachable site supervisor, we were welcomed to visit the site regularly, all of the trades were very friendly, we were thrilled to learn that most of the trades had worked on the Display Homes and now they were working on our home The end result is spectacular, we call it home our friends call it The Resort, it is certainly of the same quality and standard of workmanship we saw at the Display Homes and we have no hesitation in recommending Medallion Homes to anyone contemplating building The construction was too quick we were not ready to move inSimilar opinion?

Life's a Beach!Glenelg
Fantastic result..!
We've just finished building with Medallion and they couldn't have been more professional, helpful and quality driven. From the outset they worked with us to create the best design for a challenging block. We had a narrow block and even though we were close to the beach, didn't think we could even a glimpse of the sea. It was only Medallion's design that captured views to the sea - and we're thrilled we spoke to them! They then helped us every step of the way with our selections and finishes.
When we first starting looking for a builder, we...Read more
were attracted to Medallion by their reputation in the industry but also the quality of their display homes - we weren't disappointed with our own home! We now have a gorgeous home and are constantly getting positive comments from our friends and family - I would definitely recommend Medallion Homes to anyone who wants a friendly, customer-focused, quality company who can deliver on price and service. Quality, professional, experienced builder with a great reputationSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Beware of Medallion Homes
We built with Medallion Homes and began to regret the decision from almost the time that we signed the contract. All the pleasantries of the sales staff end once you’ve signed the contract.
We expected that a contract and specifications meant something –not to Medallion. Poor project management, inadequate engineering, delivery and installation of lesser quality materials, fittings and finishings became par for the course. We needed to inspect the works and demand the replacement of items – and in the end needed to seek independent advice fr...Read more

Reservations with Medallion Homes as your builder
Built with Medallion Homes 2008/09. Very impressed by their display homes (but beware 'what you see is not what you get'). "Free" 1st design draft & consultation but the final quote could only be given after payment of $6000 of an initial works agreement. My 2-storey house ended up costing $1963/m2 after various non-inclusions and variations (ie. 50% more, than the Grand Manor display home price we modelled & budget on, at ~450m2).
Project managment: Forgotten to submit request for demolition of the pre-existing house. Forgotten to arrange t...Read more

Questions & Answers
Cheffanieasked
When did you build with Medallion? We have been thinking of building with them and they have seemed very attentive to detail etc. We haven't signed a contract yet. Did you build one of their designs or did you have them design you something different?
2 answers
We have recently built a home with Medallion. We have one of Medallion exisitng design/display home (Urbis) tweaked to suit our personal preferences and size of the block. Our experiences with Medallion Homes are:
Positives:
Project completed on time;
Responsive to our questions/requests from Sales, Project Manager & Site Manager
Quickly rectified problems and issues (both raised by Site Manager and ourselves)
Good quality in some trades but not all trades.
Negatives:
Building costing- we have problems with the transparency of costing. There were many instances where we would have lost money either because they forgot to account for our initial deposit, charge for cost which have been included in the build contract had we not perused the costing in details. We had many variations to include extra items which are not in the spec.
Quality issue- There are a few issues relating to fiitings (eg wrong door handles installed), painting (doors are not completely painted, underside of doors in wet areas), doors contracted after installation and required replacement. We had a water leak inside the bathroom after the tiles were installed requiring extensive rework.
I visited the building site almost everyday to make sure I am happy with the work. One plus here is that the site manager responds to these issues quickly.
Post hand-over maintenance. It has certainly taken a long time. House was handed over in Feb 2012, we have not all maintenance issues rectified as at Sept 2013.
Overall, we are happy with the final products as we have followed the construction process to make sure we get what we pay for. We think it's expensive as we pay for the Medallion Homes Brand.
Be very wary of Medallion - we built with them in 2012 and know of 2 others who had the 'Medallion experience' in 2013. Very poor quality in both - plumbing needing to be replaced, ceiling redone and electrical problems. One removed Medallion from site and is still resolving problems. There's a growing number of very unhappy customers. Just ask Medallikn when they last won any of the building awards - back under previous ownership. Check out Alsn Shepard Homes, Scott Salisbury or even Metricon for a better experience.
