Extremely Disappoint about service
I am extremely disappointed from Simonds QLD. As a loyal customer, our family had purchased few houses from them, and also had introduced many friends to them without any benefit. However, we had lost our faith to them with their poor services. . We have two houses building with them currently at Southside of Brisbane. They had made few mistakes in this project and had not shown any sincerely attitude to solve their problems. Me and my sister bought a house in 2015-16 to demolish and subdivde the lands for two houses. Initially, we intended to ...Read more
live in them (one each) to build our dream home. We dedicated on our time and spent lots of time to design our home with multiple colour selection visits. As time goes by, they had exceed 220 days building periods (Building approval obtained on 30/5/17). Until now, we realised they had tricked customers by putting penalty rate as 11 dollars per day. After consulting with my friend who worked in construction industry, according to HIA contract, the late build payment minimum of 50 dollars per day. This act has shown their unprofessionalism to not letting customers know their right and simply they feedback is that because we have signed contract, there is nothing they can do about (so please make sure you read your contract properly). Not only they delay our building time, they had also completed the driveway that we did not request for (we initially only want one house's driveway to be done so that we can design the other one). They subsequently had requested us to share their cost. Given there is a great delay, we did not want to waste any more time, therefore, we reluctantly paid the cost and leave the driveway. Again, after consulting with other builders, legally, we are not obligated to pay any of fee for additional driveway simply this was their mistake. Due to the delay, my sister has commitment at oversea and no longer wish to wait. We are preparing to sell one of the house. We then realised they had incorrectly made Balustrades for both Homes when agents brought customers to the house. We have lost a few potential buyers due to their mistake (my agent has expressed their concern that customers had questioned their professionalism because they simply put advertisement with wrong design). After email conversations with build managers at QLD Simonds, they would like to extend 15 days for correction of mistake, given they are already 50 days exceed from the building period. We had patiently waiting for our dream home to be built. Instead of waiting for their rectification of their multiple mistakes, we had requested them to simply to provide cash back for the cost of changing our balcony/colour/balustrades. However, they refused to do so and insist they can only provide rectification of houses and willing to pay $11/day delayed fee as per contract. They cannot simply understand how much patient we have given to them and how frustrated we are to them. I think this is the time for everyone to know what Simonds as a builder can do when we do not know the law/customer right. I would appreciate if everyone can share this to people who intended to build with them.

Great customer service - Very happy
So far we have had a wonderful experience with Simonds. From our initial meeting with Carol who convinced us Simonds was the best option for us to the finer details of the selection process with Jessica who was always happy to help. They showed great customer service and promptly responded to all of our queries and concerns. We are happy with the way our building process has been so far and are looking forward to moving into our completed Simonds home.

Our first home build and entry to home owning!
We had done our research for several month trying to choose which builder to go with, initially we had paid a deposit with Coral homes but upon more exploring we really loved Simonds Displays and were wowed when we visited the Coomera display village in QLD. Our sales rep, Matt Baldwin was fantastic and very down to earth- he even helped us with our deposit paid to Coral homes by giving us the same deposit in LED down lights for our new build. He was a sensational sales rep, very knowledgeable and accommodating! I think this all done in Jan 201...Read more
7. Then within a few weeks we were allocated to our CRC Lyn Spicer to start the gallery process- oh my we did get a few luxury upgrades and they were worth every penny! One thing we were disappointed on was that Simonds in QLD did not offer fencing nor landscaping in their build packages which we now have to do afterwards. This would have been ideal as we really wanted to include this in our home loan rather than pay for it after the build was completed. From memory we completed the contract signing in March 2017 and then unfortunately had to wait for our land to register to build (not Simonds fault at all) rather a delay from the local city council etc. Land finally registered in August 2017 and we then started our build on the 5th of September 2017. This was when we met our first site supervisor, Shaun who commenced our build. The initial stages of the build went up very quickly, slab went down on the 21/09/17, then frames and roof were done by the 27/09/17, lockup completed with all bricks and windows completed by the 25/10/17. Then we had a walk through our build during claim fix in mid Nov 2017 where all the fixtures were being put together. This was great as we were able to take both our families through the site for a walk through! The next and final stage however had a few hiccups and took ages to complete! Just prior to Christmas we were informed by our CRC that our site supervisor was being changed- the only explanation given was that there were too many jobs in our build location and this site supervisor was very overloaded with jobs. As first time builders this made us very anxious with not understanding why this occurred and we were still renting with an impending rental vacate period nearing too. Looking back this process did not affect our build overall too much but the change so close to the end of our build did worry us. But there was a silver lining as we got a new site supervisor, Luke Peterson who was great and flogged the build for us in the end as we were really tight in moving out of our rental and into the new house. The last few weeks of the build were the most frustrating as we could see all the house looked completed but all the final checks needed completing (plus we were desperate to hurry up and move in!). The only downfall was gas meters not being connected when installed and the paint work- again more related to trades then Simonds. We can say that our site Supervisor did chase up all the trades and make them re-do work that was unsatisfactory and we were informed they will no longer use the painter they had as they were up to their standards for finishings. Our last site Supervisor, Luke really did go out of his way to ensure everything progress to the PCI stage asap as we had deadlines for our rental property (he probably hated me for hassling so much) but he 100% pulled it off and we are very thankful for his hard work and going the extra mile!. Overall they were very good at keeping us informed of time frames, what was happening with our biggest investment of our lives and we got a beautiful home to raise our little bubba in! We have a 6 month check in for any work that we require post completion too!2 comments

Very happy!!
Workmanship has been fantastic, our independent building inspector commented it was one of the best volume built homes he has seen. The build was very well managed, our site supervisor was amazing - extremely on the ball, unflappable and has managed to build an excellent group of tradies that produce a fantastic product!! Customer service has been quite good, we had a few hickups in the contract stage and quite a large bill for electricity connection which was unexpected but other than that the process was fantastic.

Fantastic building experience
I am extremely happy with the build quality of my property. The journey from start to finish has been smooth and stress free. My supervisor, Jared, kept me up to date with the progress and answered all of my questions. All of my contacts at Simonds were extremely helpful, accommodating and supportive and made the journey a very enjoyable one.

Happy with overall experience. All staff friendly and helpful. I haven't moved in as yet but happy with service so far. I can't comment on the workmanship or build quality for the property as I haven't moved in as yet but what I have seen so far it looks good. I would like to make a special mention to Alan who does the maintenance. I found him to be very helpful.

Our first home built in 2017, have been living in the house for 11 months, NIL major issues so far
We had quite few issues with site manger at the beginning, Simonds took our feed back seriously and corrected the small errors immediately. I was lucky that I chose to build with Simonds. Finally, I would like to thank Maria as she has been cooperative, helpful for every single question from the beginning to end.

We love to deal with our CRC especially, she was so patient and always was ready to hear from us even in our more stressful times.

The BEST sales and customer service we have ever experienced
We have just reached site start at this stage,but the journey so far has been positive. This is our second house we have built, and you learn a lot quickly with your first home, so when we chose Simonds it was because of the quality of the product and the professionalism of their sales team and customer service.
We only had 1 issue arise in the pre-site stage which was discussed with management and the outcome was favourable. The sales team was very knowledgeable in the house design and what would work for our block of land, and was always av...Read more

Planning process
The planning process of our build has been well handled from our sales consultant to our CRC. We have had minor mistakes from the gallery phase, such as incorrect building covenant followed and some missed items that were to be adjusted from gallery. Our Current CRC however has been very helpful in correcting these issues and sorting any discrepancies we have noticed. customer service and support is always very prompt and any issues that have needed further review I have always been updated in the waiting process.

Also he is very easy to talk to. Genuine service is the right term to describe this exceptional team. I would like to thank everyone who helped me with my house.

In general we are very happy with Simonds and the product and the service provided up to now.
Sorry, the house build has not started yet. Regarding the process of quotation and final contract and price, I believe that more time is required for a proper review of all prices, because some was reviewed and adjusted, but I think that not all prices were correct. But, in term of support and customer service, in general everyone has been very diligent and concern about our needs as customer.

From day one, the people from Simonds were very enthusiastic and very helpful in the whole process. There were very open to answer all questions that I wished to ask. The guys in Simonds are warm and accommodating to my needs all the time. I'm still on the process of my loan and had a lot of setbacks with my application. Even so, there were very open and flexible to adjust to this very lengthy process.

Good workmanship and build quality. Our home is great. We chose the design from catalogue and there was no open home to view. We are happy with the overall outcome of the house. It is beyond what we expected.
Good management. Everything was great. We have referred our son who will also be building with Simonds.
Excellent customer service and support. Always happy to answer questions and went an extra mile to make sure we were happy.

The team from Simonds have been very helpful right from the start at the display home at Upper Coomera on the Gold Coast. We dealt with Cary, who was fantastic allowing us to modify the floor plan to suit our needs, some builders will not let you do this.

The Simonds people makes the difference!
Before I decided which builder to go with I almost contacted all the mainstream builders in the market. The reasons that I finally chose Simonds because the Flinders design is quite good and Simonds is flexible to modify the standard design to meet almost all my needs. In addition to the product itself, the Simonds staff is the most significant+ factor that helps me to make the final decision. My sales consultant Michael Downs from Upper Coomera display home is a very responsible and patient gentleman, as a first home buyer, I had lots of quest...Read more
ions with regard to the construction of the house. Every time I sent a question list to Michael, he replied me promptly and in case that he needed to take some time to consult with some other colleagues he kept me informed of the progress all the time, his answers in most cases are more than my expectation. I also appreciate Carol Lok who works in Rochedale display home, she is quite professional and gave me a lot of useful suggestions despite she is not my direct sales consultant. My Client Relationship Coordinator Maria Lozano is also very nice, she tried very hard to meet all my requests to ensure a satisfactory client experience. One thing worth to mention that every time she gave me a call I can feel her passion and enthusiasm from her voice. My contract presentor Catherine is pregnant and will give birth to her baby next month, but she still work very hard and explain the contract terms for me. Overall, my experience with Simonds so far is quite good and Simonds staff impressed me by demonstrating a very good team work and internal cooperation. I just signed the contract with Simonds last week and the construction is expected to commence early next year. The construction is the most important part of the whole building journey, I hope Simonds could continue to deliver its satisfactory service and products to clients and don't let me down. I would continue to update my experience with Simonds here as the construction is going on. Really can't wait to see my dream house comes to life.1 comment
