We started our journey with Nostra Homes April in 2018, but the build could not start before October due to building permit was not ready. Our sales representative Belinda Baldacchino helped us out in the best way to finalise the house requirements and design.

Top builder. Can't wait to get into our new home
We started our journey with Nostra Homes late in 2017, but the build could not start before August last year as the land was not released for title in Mernda Villages until June 2018. Our sales representative Alice Fields helped us out in the best way to finalise the house requirements and design. Ken was great in helping us decide the colours scheme throughout the house, and Diana Monteleone was just the best building co-ordinator in the business I have seen so far along with David Ventura, the site supervisor. We were updated with the build a...Read more
long with pictures throughout, as we currently live in regional Victoria. The only hiccup we had was with the kitchen cabinet maker who initially built the cabinets wrong, but David and Diana handled those issues in a very professional manner, and were finally redone altogether and to our entire satisfaction. We did the final inspection of our house last week and got an independent inspector to do the final inspection. His remarks were that the build and workmanship are of top quality. We have the handover next week, and can't wait to move into the new house. Overall, I will give a thumbs up to Nostra Homes and they are a top quality (and reasonably priced) builder.1 comment

Definitely recommend!
From start to finish, we have had such an amazing experience. From going in to the display home, deciding on the house we wanted, to choosing our colours and fixtures, to handover day - nothing was a hassle.
Everyone that helped us along the way treated us with the utmost professionalism. A big thank you goes to Diana, our building coordinator, and Paul, our building supervisor. Without both of them I don't think our process would have gone as smoothly as it did.
If you ever get the chance to build a new home I would highly recommend meeting with Nostra Homes.

Very Happy With Our New Home
The Nostra sales team were brilliant, they were able to add or change items (within reason) without any problem and charged fairly for added extras, no outlandish fees or hidden costs for extra or upgraded items. Same goes for the construction costs, every cost including council fees etc was costed up front with no nasty surprises at the end, unlike some other builders. Ken in the colour & design dept understood our needs immediately and tailored a design package to suit our taste (modern-industrial) while meeting all the developer guidelines a...Read more
nd coming in on budget, the result is amazing, we have had tons of compliments. The home is well-built and of solid construction. We did not experience any delays with no-one working on our property for weeks at a time as we have experienced in the past with other builders. With all builds there will be minor issues and we experienced one or two but they were dealt with expediently and we were not left unhappy, Nostra were generally quick to resolve any issues and there were no major dramas left unresolved. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nostra, all the tradespeople were highly professional and worked to make their part in our home the best it could be. Thank you Nostra, we are delighted with our finished home.1 comment

Why you should pick Nostra Homes
This is why you should pick Nostra Homes over any other builder in the industry....
After looking through display homes and researching online, we chose Nostra homes to build our first new construction home. Why? Well because of a couple of reasons mainly being that we were impressed by the inclusions which they call "standard" and many other builders had this as an extra $$, the layout we wanted and ended up choosing was something we didn't come across elsewhere & an extra plus being in the industry when you know of trades that have worked fo...Read more
r Nostra homes and speak so highly of them and the exceptional quality they produce sealed the deal for us. The design process was a breeze, we sort of knew what we wanted going into our colour selection appointment but with Ken's great eye for detail and design knowledge he guided us through it & made sure everything tied in together & I'm ever so grateful with how it turned out with so many compliments on those small touches that Ken suggested. We are in love! During the whole process our Building Coordinator, Diana supported us the whole way through and kept us up to date through each stage & was on the ball with any question or concern we had. She is an absolute superstar! Vince our Site Supervisor was amazing and whom we would of loved to finish the build with but due to high demand during the last stages we had to change supervisors. - Huge special thanks to Sam Hardinge who went above and beyond for us to make sure our house was absolutely perfect!! If we ever build again there is no doubt in our minds who we will pick... Nostra everytime!1 comment

Process with Nostra from start to lock-up stage went smoothly. [Name Removed] was the site supervisor and he was excellent to deal with, up dated me with every step of the build. Quality of workmanship is A1 with high standards except painters (shocking). Little disappointed with [Name Removed] not helping with issues with the storm water pit elevated from ground level which was right next to the crossover which [Name Removed] knew that I was doing horse shoe driveway.

s. People that build make sure everything is correct before signing the contract because you will be going, hell and back to get it fixed. Other than some issues after lock-up stage Nostra is still a great builder to build with, and will build again if I had too.

We are so happy with the 4 townhouses we built with Nostra Homes. Very happy with the customer service, we’ve been supported though every step of our build by Kathryn, she was always very helpful and prompt, nothing was ever too hard. Even with the changes in Site Supervisor our homes were always in good hands. Highly recommend Nostra, they have fantastic quality and inclusions and there were no hidden surprises or costs. Overall a very positive experience, I would highly recommend Nostra Homes to anyone that wants a fantastic house

Kathryn Goetzl, the Customer Care Manager at Nostra, is absolutely exceptional. She always kept us in loop from the start of the project to finish. She was always willing to hear our concerns and addressed them in a professional attentive manner as per our expectations. Ken Johnstone, Interior Designer was great at our selections meeting.

e ensured our choices were functional, appealing and appropriate for the space. Nostra's Construction Manager Sam Hardinge has been extremely helpful, to a point where he made it his personal mission to ensure everything was spot on.Together they make an outstanding team. The house has turned out beautiful. We even had our neighbours comment about how tidy the builders were and the quality of workmanship. As a customer it is most important that your concerns are heard and addressed. We never had to call anyone from Nostra twice. They all take ownership and act like it's their own house and that impressed me so much that if I ever build again, it will be with NOSTRA HOMES.1 comment

Our experience had ups and downs
The start of our build was slow but this was due to land titles etc. Once Nostra got going the build seemed to go smoothly.
Some of the build quality was not up to our standards however and these will be addressed.
We are satisfied with the build and are happy to have our home.
Costs estimated were generally as quoted and didn’t differ a lot.

Kathryn our customer care Manager was always there to help, our interior designer Ken was a delight to deal with and always spot on with his colour suggestions.

Questions & Answers
StuJGasked
Hi Nostra - Who can I talk to about numerous and on-going flooding issues throughout my house? I've had Nostra staff out to look at my roof at least 5 times and my house continues to leak. I came home today to find new stains in a few of my rooms and paint beginning to flake. The tin roof rattles so loud during the wind that my partner and I have to drag the mattress to a different room to sleep, or end up on the couch downstairs. Am pretty damn sick of dealing with Nostra staff and their list of excuses, so much so I am building another property and avoiding Nostra all together. Also telling my friends and family to avoid Nostra completely. How can we resolve this? Keen to hear your answer
