Awesome
i am impressed with colour consultant, as she helped with all the selection. The quality of the property and their products are satisfactory. The final cost was $20000 more than the estimated cost due to few more upgrades we did. we are in the process of pre-construction at this stage.

We love our new home thanks Orbit
Almost a year on from moving into our beautiful orbit home and we couldnt be happier. We love our home and a big thank you to Lindy from the sales office and Marie from head office for taking such great care of us. The only negaitive was having a few different site supervisiors throughtout the process which was a little frustrating but overall we were happy with the end result.

First Home Buyer Experience (Pre-Construction)
I Went with Orbit Homes as my builder for my First home given their elegant home designs, competitive prices, and positive after-sales review and not to mention their amazing promotion (40k premium inclusion).
Kudos to Sumit Sondhi who assisted me with the sales. he was well-adept with what he does as he gave all the information all i needed to know being a first home buyer. Plus he provided a very straight forward explanation with all inquiry that i had which totally made my first home buying experience convenient and hassle-free.

Colour selection stage
We are about to finilise our building contract with Orbit Homes. So far everything has been very well organised and handled. I would like to thank Peter for helping us patiently since the first day explaining and clarifying every single items in detail. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Priscilla for helping us with colour selection. We first thought it is going to be a really stressful process but with her help, knowledge and experience we managed the day and picked all the things that we liked. I hope the remaining stages will also ...Read more

Happy to build with Orbit Homes
We had built our First Home with Orbit Homes in 2008 and happy. Now planning to build our Investment property saw Orbit display homes at Melton. We met Sumit Sondhi at Melton and we are happy with the experience of signing up. He is pleasant and very easy in giving us all the information needed to make our decision.
At the colour selection stage yesterday, I met Zoe and she was good and efficient at helping us making that important decision of colour selection. For many it is a nightmare to get the right colours, but Zoe was very helpful with the selection.

Excellent services - ease of choice
I accidentally bumped into display homes at New Haven Homes Tarneit and met Rohit Neb.
There were few discussions and loads of questions relating to construction and building a family home.
Really awestruck with Sorrento 398 display and after few negotiations with my Wife, we decided to go ahead. We both met Rohit again and with his ease of service and thorough professionalism we went ahead for signing with him. He has been excellent at his job and referred us to Zoe for colour consultation.
Zoe is highly experienced and another fabulous ...Read more

We're still at pre construction phase but I must say Shweta's dedication and attention to detail is impressive. She made things easier for us since we are based in Sydney while constructing in Melbourne. We now have our colour appointment scheduled. Hopefully we get our building contract as soon as possible.
Will fully recommend in terms of ease in finding a builder. Looking for to a great house.

First House with Orbit
The display houses are really beautiful. We are very happy with the excellent service provided to us by JP at Highgrove Estate. Up to now it was very easy as he is very knowledgeable in his subject. We have just signed the contract and hope the service remain same till the end of construction.

Second house with Orbit - Awesome builder
We had a great experience with orbit homes 9 years ago that we have now signed to built a second house with them. Peter Kryvonosor was great and made the process easy. We are looking forward to working with builder again and would definitely recommend them.
The cost was great especially with the quality upgrades we are receiving.

Satisfaction Guaranteed :)
First of all, i would like to give a big thanks to our consultant, Shweta, for she has worked above and beyond to make us more than happy with our floor plan. She has exceeded our expectations. 5 stars is an under rating. I would give her 10 stars for the hard work and dedication she has shown us. I strongly recommend that you visit their showhomes and you'll know the quality of their building is of high standard. Cost wise, i can say they are very competitive, cheaper actually without compromising the quality. Can't wait for the building to start and move in :)

Perfect home build by a professional company
A very well manages build not just by the foreman but by everyone involved. The workmanship was managed to a very high standard which was unexpected for a standard house and land package. The final costing was exactly what I expected to the dollar there was nothing extra charged which I thought was amazing. I would love to thank the orbit homes team that built my home you guys did a fantastic job

Happy Customers. Again!
We built with Orbit Homes before, therefore we decided to build our investment home with them again....and again, we were happy with the pre, post and during construction. What was promised (by Orbit) it was delivered. Great communication with Customer Service Officer (Carnita) and building supervisor (Wayne). Every question was answered immediately. Great builder, great experience.

Color selection
I went to colour selection today. Everything is perfect help from consultant was very good and her matching ability of products is very efficient. However it would be much better if we got some more time to select our product as it is a big investment. There shouldn’t be any rush for selecting items
Anyway Summit from sale team of orbit is very helpful so far.

Colour selection appointment
Can’t thank Priscilla enough for her guidance and help with our colour selection appointment for our new home. I was very overwhelmed and stressed but her calm and caring nature is absolutely amazing. I was still unsure and confused with a few things the following day. She made sure that every question we asked was answered and dealt with accordingly. She is very responsive to emails and messages. We Sincerely appreciate it.

This Builder Uses Cheap Labor And Unlicensed Trades To Complete The Build
We have built the house with Orbit and found all staffs incompetent. They use cheap lobourers to complete the work. Poor workmanship. They want owner to contact for individual warranty directly with supplier. They will save each penny every where by compromising your home build.
Space is not enough to write but below is a brief of what happened to us.
Feet free to contact me for more info.

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