Exceptional!
Currently in pre-construction planning for our first home, we have found Sandra McLaughlin to be nothing short of amazing! Sandra has been extremely thorough and patient, and as first home builders, we have found her to be very knowedgeable and supportive. We are excited to be working with her, and are confident that this will be a memorable journey with her by our side!

At the pre construction stage of our build. Came back to a Sandra because of her friendly service and advice. She listened to us and helped us with ideas. Love the ability to change up design to suit our needs. We are looking forward to seeing our plans come to life.

Thank you JP Cliquet for assistance!!
I have recently paid my initial deposit and awaiting drafting to complete the changes to my plans after which Orbit homes will present me with a Tender document.
One of the main reasons that I chose Orbit homes other than the design and ability to make changes to the design was that I wanted to deal with JP Cliquet who is the sales consultant for Orbit homes at Eliston Estate in Clyde.
JP was always extremely professional and assisted me with all my many queries and changes. He even met me at my block of land and marked out the outline of the...Read more
home on the land for us to evaluate how the home will sit on the block and if there will be sufficient space. I have never heard a consultant that would do that!! He also used Microsoft Paint to make changes to my plan to give me an accurate view of what the changes would look like before sending to drafting. JP provided advice on what changes to make and what not to make and what the correct process is to follow. JP never tried to extract a deposit out of me but rather invested his time and knowledge to ensure that I am comfortable with the product and the design to be ready to proceed to deposit stage. He also assisted me to get a good idea of what the final price could be based on the significant changes and additions. I would highly recommend JP Cliquet and Orbit homes based on my dealings with JP.

Selecting ‘Orbit Homes’ was best decision for our 1st Home and Excellent service by ‘Sumit Sondhi’
For choosing the builder for building our first home, we have explored all top rated builders. Out of all those we found ‘Orbit Homes’ the best. Not only because of brand name of ‘Orbit Homes’ but the way our dream home was detailed by their top rated and experienced sales executive ‘Sumit Sondhi’.Sumit is very experienced and have suggested best options and accommodated all of our required changes to the floor plan very patiently. Our Floor plan discussions with Sumit were for weeks and each session for more than 1-2 hours, and we have never s...Read more
een Sumit getting impatient with our silly queries and frequent changes to our requirement. He always suggested best solution for us considering our budget and grabbed best deal and offers for us. We were really happy with our final floor plan and selections. Honestly, he is combination of best knowledge, good behaviour, high patience level, best customer service and definitely an asset for ‘Orbit Homes.I strongly recommend to meet ‘Sumit’ if you plan to go with Orbit Homes ( which I would recommend) to finalise your plan and get the best deal. Now we are just waiting for our house construction to start soon. Best Wishes Shankar Kumar1 comment

Flawless experience from a quality builder!
My experience with Orbit Homes was fantastic! From the very start, Elise took me through every step and helped answer all of my questions - big or small. There was nothing too difficult to achieve and all of the confusion of the process was taken away. What a relief! Zoe then took me through the colour studio and was extremely knowledgeable. I still can't believe how many beautiful colours were included within the price. I thought to myself "everything has been so smooth and easy, is this where the problems start?" But NO, Cheryl has kept me up...Read more

Cannot thank Orbit enough for the exceptional service!!
Even though we are only a small way into our building process, we have experienced the best customer service from Damjan, Carnita and Priscilla so far! Damjan was so helpful in our design and planning. He even helped us select a block to build on, extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of planning and selecting the perfect home design for us and our budget. Carnita has been so helpful in finding us a time to select our colors, and I can't wait to meet with Priscilla to go through this process too.

Great start to the first home build with Orbit
After a lot of confusion and options with so many builders, I am finally very happy to be starting the journey with Orbit, all because of Shweta K. She helped me customise the plan to what I wanted and answered all my questions any time of the day and even after hours. Excellent service from Shweta. I look forward to getting the continued support from rest of the Orbit team in the journey.

Very very very very very excellent service!
Adam Thomson and his manager Andrew Boulding have spent massive time on our first new home since the first time I spoke with Adam. Being that patient and professionally answering all our queries especially my partner is so obsessed with uncessary details, I am so impressed that they deliver such a qualitative house design and I feel a bit sorry that Andrew didn't get a chance to have lunch during our color selection appointment, and they would sacrifice their own time to suit our needs.

Excellent Customer Service and Real Premium Builder
I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards Orbit Homes, and most importantly our first home consultant JP and his assistant Ilirah! The pre-construction stage was totally stress free and JP has managed the pre-construction process in an efficient and professional manner. He helped us to accommodate many changes we requested by showing us their pros and cons. He patiently explained and clarified every single item in detail.

nique layout of the plans were perfection. I was so happy about JP's knowledge in the building construction, which had helped me to select better way outs and to complete 75% of selections on the spot even before the colour studio appointment. We were completely stress-free and finally signed the contract. These are the people you should build with! 10/10 would recommend building with Orbit! Homes!1 comment

Exhausting and concerned
From the meetings and emails with the sales consultant at Highlands. To trying to book a colour appointment and then attending it has been exhausting.
All my time has been spent following up on things that have not been actioned or have been recorded incorrectly. Attention to detail is non existent. I would hope that it improves for build.
The owner introduced himself at my colour appointment (something I believe he does for all Melbourne based clients) but cant be contacted when concerns are raised with Senior Management. I find this leadership to be concerning.
Bank has advised that build cost is over priced compared to other builders. Buyer beware - I am now!

Excellent service by Sumit Sondhi
We first met Sumit Sondhi in display homes. Given this is the first home we are building, and we heard lots of horror stories from our friends about other builders, we were really scared of our decision. However when we met Sumit the first time, he made us welcome in the display home and we were so impressed with him that we decided to deal with him only. He encouraged us to visit couple of other display homes which look similar to the house we decided to build. During the decision process, he was very helpful and responded to million of our qu...Read more

Knock Down Rebuild
We liked the area we lived, but not our house so we decided on a knock down rebuild, we chose Orbit Homes as they had the design we liked featuring nice big rooms and plenty of storage. We have never done this before and this is where we really appreciated the patience and guidance offered by Jerome (JP) and Ilirah at the Eliston estate Clyde North. They were both fabulous and the displays there are superb.

Clear understanding of Customer thoughts
We were quite mixed with our ideas and Shweta K (Sales consultant) had a very clear picture of our needs and helped us in meeting our thoughts within our budget. We were rightly guided with different options and were provided with the image of how the house would look like before signing the contract.
I would highly recommend anyone to speak to Shweta for a good house.

Fantastic sales team
One of the best builders in terms of customer service, pricing and customization. The level of flexibility on customizing plans and upgrades with this builder is exceptional.
I met Sumit Sondhi at Melton display home and he assisted me with the sales very patiently. He made quite a lot of changes to the standard plans at different meetings to make it work for me. I would like to thank him for his outstanding service.
Although I did not build with Orbit Homes due to finding my dream home plan with another builder, I had such a positive experience, so much that I recommended Orbit Homes to some of my friends who are planning to build a home in near future.

My driveway has been built with the wrong rocks, I have all the proof. Do I have to pay them for the driveway?

Well first thing, when say wrong rocks, was meant to be meet the guidelines of land contract?
If you got all the proofs, I think they will be liable for all the costs. But if it's your misunderstanding then you have to pay or just live with it. I hope it helps
