Great product, great Construction Supervisor, questionable administrative processes
Our Construction Supervisor, Heath, was absolutely fantastic. He communicated with us every step of the way and was always on the ball.
The build itself appears to be quite nice. The paint work could've been, and probably should have been, better. The squareset plastering is showing signs of cracking/separation after a month. Structurally the house is great. We're very happy with the overall product and the great service our Construction Supervisor provided. Just a bit disappointment with some of the finishes (more relating to the plasterboar...Read more
d, overspray on black window frames and cabinets). Our total cost was just shy of $450k. We thought the workmanship should've been on par with the price we paid. The admin team's processes were questionable. They forgot to action a couple of items which they advised had been actioned at the time. Once again, to the credit of our Construction Supervisor, he sorted out any issues or miscommunication which ultimately lead to good outcomes. Overall, I would recommend Simonds to those who are considering building a high-quality home. The selections they offer provide many options to clients and provide the ability to 'spec-up' their homes. Once again, for a total build cost just under $450k, I would've expected a bit more attention to detail on the finishes and far better administrative practices (this should be a given regardless of how much you spend on a build).1 comment

totally waste of time
I visited display and ask about the cost. I show my all the requirements (Like what I need stone in kitchen, ceiling heights etc ) and plan as well. The sales person [name removed] said that it will be between $310,000 to $315,000. He show me the similar plan which they just built and said as per my all requirement my cost will be around $315,000 ( including footing ). He show me some houses which they are building and I visited their gallery (main office ) in city as well. I paid $500 deposit to get quota. He made quota and comes price $365,00...Read more
0. And there were missing few items from my list. When I ask to pay back my deposit. When I said, I can not go with you. He ask me to show all other builder's quota. I said I am not happy to show that then he said you have wasted my time massively I always new you would. (if any one want to see, I will show you that message ). It is not necessary that we built with you if we get quota. And it is totally our choice if we want to show other builder's quota. I ask him not to send message or email any more still continues he was sending message. He was continues asking by message and showing that he done something extra for me. [name removed], every builder doing the same thing what you done. You did not done any extra and yes if you are not happy to do that then contact your company. You have no right to mentally disturb us. Every customer will get quota with few builder's and build with any 1 builder that not means that all other builders say to them that customer wasted their time. You are sales person. You need sense how to use word when chat with customer. All the readers, if you want a proof, I can show you all the message what he sent to me. I can be contacted on [Number Removed] if anyone want to discuss about this company. And Simonds builder, If I will not receive my deposit which you charge me to get only quota, then I will complain against you in business SA. You have to think about your reputation before hire any person. If you want, I will show you all the messages what he sent it to me. I got cheaper quota from all other builder including Fairmont homes, distinctive homes and Metricon. ( with all the inclusions and same footing cost ). He send me a message " You have wasted my time massively I always new you would. Why you got next step [name removed], if you knew that I am going to waste your time? Only the positive thing I can see is thank god, I did not built with them.

Great experience
Simonds were an excellent company to build with. Clear and concise communication throughout the journey. Build supervisor was extremely efficient and coordinated trades effortlessly.
The build is of a high quality which has been commented on by a number of trades I've had on site since handover. Would highly recommend using this company to my friends and family.

Simonds built our family home just as we wanted. Couldn’t be happier!
We were very happy with the progress of the build of our home. Steve our site Supervisor always communicated with us on a professional and sincere level.
The building site was well organised and we feel that all trades were organised well to minimise build time.
The workmanship and build quality is fantastic and we couldn’t be happier with the end product.
We experienced a very few issues along the way and any issues that we did have her promptly rectified.
The build was done on time and within our budget. We are so glad that we made the choice to build our home with Simonds.

Great quality and builder
First time builder i am and couldn't of asked for anything better with Simonds. As a first time builder you are always sceptical about what builder to choose but i am very pleased with choosing Simonds Homes. Began with Matt who was fantastic during the planning stage, everyone i dealt with were helpful and understanding. Throughout the building process i had Steve as my supervisor and he was knowledgeable, responsive and proactive throughout the process. In the end the house build was great and i would highly recommend Simonds Homes. My home looks great thanks to Simonds, many thanks.

Excellent teamwork, Great job. Thoroughly impressed :)
Excellent work ethic. Definitely impressed with the running and execution of the entire build process. Starting with consultation by Luke, through selections with Olivia and over to the product delivery by Steve, everything worked to perfection. Every person in the team understands your needs, gives you the right advise, while still letting you make your own decisions. Thorough communication and work execution under the able supervision of Steve D. Job delivered in just 3 months and Steve definitely deserves a pat on the back for this. What a Christmas surprise. Thanks to the Simonds team for their outstanding work and commitment:)

Resolution of issues from original build
Simonds handed over our new home in November 2015. On hand-over we raised several issues - one being the 2nd story having a very squeaky floor. Simonds have returned multiple times to fix the floor and the last 2 visits have told us they will need to return with CarpetCall to make the fix. We are still waiting. Prior to this they have tried to fix several times without success. It seems in the original build they didn't fasten the floor correctly and hence the current issue. CarpetCall will need to pull up the carpet so they can fix the original problem. I've requested an update from Simonds multiple times this year and are yet to hear back.

From the initial enquiry at the display home to getting our keys, we had no troubles and everyone that we encountered on our journey was fantastic!

Swift and Seamless
The preconstruction, construction and handover of our now Home has been nothing but swift and seamless. In particular our site supervisor, Steve Djorickovic. I am based in Sydney, but I have been kept informed throughout the whole build process with photos emailed and messaged. If there were any concerns, a solution was made available so a decision could be made on the spot. Being in construction myself, attention to detail is a must and I could not fault the management of that.
There has been changes in relation to admin staff (3 times durin...Read more

Amazing experience- S2094
Our experience with Simonds Homes has been absolutely amazing. The build was quick and effortless on our behalf, with not much to worry about. Our supervisor, Steve Djorickovic as well as Amanda Wilson, were fantastic to work with, making our journey as smooth as possible and ensuring the quality of the build was not compromised in any way. We got our keys by mid November 2022, which was only a short 3.5 months since the build started. If considering to build, we would highly recommend Simonds as the best choice to go with.

Amazing job by Simond Homes
We had a great experience of building our first house by Simond homes. We got keys on end of November 2022. They were really wonderful people to give us a lovely house according to our expectations. We decided to build our house same as display house in seaford height to suit our land plot. Their house designs are very attractive. Luke was the sales consultant who guided and adviced during the journey of house building. He helped us several times during both designing and construction stage. Heath engaged to give us a perfect house by supervis...Read more
ing the works during construction and handover stage. It was quick and quality was excellent. They finished all works and handed over on time. Wthin 18 weeks they finished works and handed over the keys. That was amazing. Simond homes gave nice and quality materials, fittings and neat finishing. Also we are happy about communication during construction time, Anne updated us every week about the progress. We are so much appreciated for the team of Simond homes for giving us a beautiful house. Thank you everyone in the Simond Homes.3 comments

Bloody Marvellous Job
After being lied to (or not told all the facts) by two other builders we were a bit apprehensive about going to another builder and having the same thing happen again.
We were looking for honesty and full disclosure and that was exactly what we got from Simonds.
Our first experience was with Luke who's product knowledge was outstanding. He made the process of deciding on the plans of our build so easy.
The next step took my wife and I to Simonds Selection Centre (Gallery). That was a complete learning curve. The staff there were fantastic, we'v...Read more

At the beginning my wife and I were choosing between builders and Simonds stood out because of their value for money and detail of workmanship of their display homes.
In the beginning with planning we dealt with Luke who was very patient and provided us with a lot of detailed information in relation to any changes we made. This took us quite some time as we made a lot of changes but in the end we were very happy with the plans.

mer service. We were introduced to Emily who assisted us with selections and Steve who was the building supervisor - All at Simonds were great . We were educated well at the beginning and if any concerns came up they were dealt with efficiently. The finished product was fantastic and it’s only now we see the benefit of the small things which were suggested by Luke, Josh and Emily. We are thrilled with the end result and no doubt would build with Simonds again and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. S19921 comment

Some problems but solutions were put in place.
The build process was faster than expected. Several issues in the build, like the water pipes knocking, they have to cut through the dry wall to put a fix. Drainage pipes were blocked full of construction debris. SA WATER have to dig through the driveway to fix. Was a bit disappointed because none of our friends who had their homes built encountered these problems.

Excellent Job!
The speed of construction is much quicker than expected, my house has done in 4 months, everything running smoothly and updating rapidly. But the personnel changes were too frequent. At the beginning, the salesperson and manager who received me left, and then changed the person in charge several times during the process. At the beginning, they responded very quickly, but after changing people several times, it often took a long time.
Steve Djurickovic is a trustworthy site supervisor, his response is very fast, the communication is smooth, and he helped me solve many problems. He is the only person I can contact now, and everyone else has left. It was a pleasant experience. Reasonable price and service.

Poor Quality of Workmanship and NO! communication
We have had a very long journey with Simonds and are still going!
During our construction we were kept well informed by the sales consultant in what was happening and the questions or faults we found during the build we told Simonds along the way.
The main issues we had is such a fact of poor quality with the brick work, the bricklayer did such appalling job with laying the bricks. When using a level that we hope he had used we can highlight the fact of poor brick laying. On one wall we have the top few layers of bricks leaning in at the top...Read more
to try and fit them under the facer. There are also two missing control joints in the walls and multiple gaps within the mortar and next to the windows. The quality is so poor on one window that it had led to a 20mm gap between the bricks and the window. Once I had advised Simonds of the gap at the window I was advised that flashings would fix this issue although upon later finding out after I was charged an extra 800 dollars this is not the fact since within 6 months the flashing is coming off and there is still a gap in some bricks.1 comment

Exceptional Service!
From start to finish, the team at Simonds have been exceptional! A big thanks to Dallas, Olivia, Amanda and Steve who ensured the build process not only went to plan but came in ahead of schedule. The service we received was genuine and supportive and took the stress out of building a new home, we always knew the team had everything under control and moving along. We now have a quality home to be very proud of.
Highly recommend anyone considering building a new home to visit one of the display centres and speak to the team.

We started our journey back in February with Dallas at Blakeview.
He was a fantastic, honest and gave exceptional professional advice. Even returned calls on his days off.
We originally had Josh as our CRC - but changed to Amanda several weeks into the process.
Amanda has been patient and attentive to all of our questions and indecisiveness.
We are now due for site works to start this week and its been a big credit to Dallas, Amanda and the rest of the team to get us to this point.

Best Construction Supervisor
Steve Djurickovic is the best Construction Supervisor. Easy to approach and well communicated. He always kept us updated on the progress and well organized with contractors. He even took some time to help us communicate with the neighbor when there is misunderstanding on building on the boundary. Really appreciated his time and efforts to make the whole building journey so smooth.
