1. I purchased a three-bed, two bath, double garage strata villa, off the plan, at Rivers Edge, South Guildford. During construction Pindan laid the concrete garage floor too high for street access, removed it of their own volition, and relaid the concrete at a lower level. The resulting concrete floor had bad cracks right across. Pindan's structural engineer ascertained that this lower level concrete floor had cracked because of being too thin over the sub-floor concrete strengtheners. My building inspector recommended that Pindan remove the ...Read more

We would highly recommend Pindan Homes to anyone.

From the minute we met with Mark we knew we had found our builder. Going into our first build and dealing with a block that had a 5 1/2 metre decline, Pindan took it head on and designed our dream home, understanding our needs and wants. Experiencing a few hurdles along the way with council approvals and an extremely difficult neighbour, Mark, Adrian, Steve and Steph made the process stress free (for us anyway!) and worked constantly in demanding conditions, but always had time for our many...Read more

We would build with Pindan Homes again! From the day my husband and I met Mark our building design consultant who took us through the design stages we have had nothing but great support. The final design was all ours and we have had nothing but compliments from the Building Supervisor and the trades that we met who loved what Pindan helped us achieve with our home. Our building supervisor Vince was fantastic and not once did he fail to answer our questions, and happily attended site after hours to answer our questions about aspects of the bu...Read more

After the wife and I decided to build a house, we met with quite a few building company consultants, but felt like they didn't understand what we were after and just wanted to show off their design skills... But when we met with a Switch consultant, we felt that he understood what our vision was and worked with us to achieve what we wanted... Nothing was too difficult and he often met us outside of office hours and even called us when we were travelling in South Korea a few days before Christmas to finalise the design...
We used one of their s...Read more

Workmanship & quality of build disgusting!! Still trying to get problems fixed 18 months after move in. Company does not want to fix anything that they can't make a claim back on someone else. Have been given heaps of chances & time to fix things but are still claiming not their fault!!
Well as the home owner it certainly wasn't my fault, come on Switch fix our home!!!
From House Inspector's report -
1. Plaster not up to Australian Standards
2. Spouts over ensuite basins too long - although we chose taps & basins we were not advised that...Read more

If you are looking for a builder, I cannot recommend Switch Homes highly enough.

We were initially impressed with their display home in Cygnia Cove in Waterford and the sales representative was very accommodating and did not have to do the 'hard sell'. The property spoke for itself. From our very first meeting with Fiona to discuss our plans, we immediately felt very comfortable with our choice of builder. Fiona was fantastic in drawing up the designs to meet our specifications and she spent an inordinate amount of time ensuring that w...Read more

THANK YOU, SWITCH!
If you are reading this with a view to selecting a builder for your new home, please read on because we hope you’ll be convinced as we share our very recent building experience with Switch Homes.
We received handover of our home just before Christmas 2016 and are delighted with the result. The house that Switch has delivered to us is well-built and one that we are happy and comfortable to be in.
We have built a few times in our lifetime and having personally worked in the building industry for several years, we tend to h...Read more

I feel obligated to express how fair and wonderful this building experience has been for me especially as a first-time home builder. When reading product reviews on home builders, i found the reviews to be either really positive or very negative and therefore i had a lot of confusion and anxieties committing to a project builder. Switch Homes were relatively new to the scene for me, but i knew that they were backed by Pindan. At the time, there were no product reviews on them so i felt like i was taking a punt with them. I am so thankful i went...Read more

Our build is almost done, we nearing the final stages with a few bits and pieces to go before PCI. We have been very happy with the process. From the sales experience, to the design, to the prestart, and now to the build phase. Both our site supervisor Richard and our client liaison officer Gayna have been excellent. Gayna has been very responsive and extremely accomodating. Richard has kept our build on track and as a result the build has been a breeze and completed very quickly. Cannot fault them.
Throughout the process we have only had two ...Read more

Our build is still progressing.
After almost a year of researching different builders we decided to go with Switch homes. Fiona our design consultant was fantastic and really listened to what we wanted. I must of sent 100's of emails with questions and queries all which were answered promptly, she is probably one of the main reason we decided to build with Switch homes, impeccable customer service, an asset to the company! Fiona still checks in with us to see how it's all going.

Gayna, Our Customer Liaisons officer is amazing, easy to deal...Read more

Building with Switch Homes has been a wonderful experience. From the early stages of planning, the sales and design consultant Mark was professional, helpful and provided suggestions incorporated into the home, which has improved our lifestyle and saved us money in the long term. We even ended up with a beautiful clay tile roof which we can admire from the front at no extra charge!. As this wasn't our first build, we took our time in making sure we had everything in place. Mark and the drafting team were so patient and fantastic as this process...Read more

As far as building a house goes I think this was as painless as it could be. Gayna was fantastic. She kept me informed and was always willing to hunt down an answer to any question. In anything like this issues will always arise, but Gayna would always let me know the status and what they were doing about it. The team seemed to be on the front foot the whole time. Clive was great - kept things moving seamlessly and the quality is excellent. Clive was very patient and respectful in dealing with neighbours and fixed a few issues for me along the ...Read more

Dealt initially with a knowledgeable design consultant, Mark, who was easy to deal with. Even after sending him many, many queries and questions, he was always willing to assist and provide useful suggestions. There were a few times during the prestart phase that I thought my questions were not being dealt with by the prestart consultant, but a quick follow up to Mark got the ball rolling again!

As with any build there were a few issues during the build, but once brought to the builders attention they were dealt with rather swiftly, a sign o...Read more

Thats another week gone by and switch have done it again. We took possession of our home on the 13th of May we did our list for practical completion the same day because we needed in we were told we would be in 2 months earlier. Had about 40 faults to be rectified and we paid 500,000 for this house and the standard of the tradies was atrocious. Turned on the kitchen tap and the water came through the ceiling in the activity room they did not connect the waste part of the ceiling came down there are still more than 20 outstanding items. They are...Read more
