Before Locking my contract with Simonds, I have did enormous research to find the right builder with respect to pricing, quality, build time etc.. I can clearly say Simonds is very price competitive moreover there basic gallery selections itself is of great quality where most of the time we don't have to upgrade. Also found simonds home designs are efficiently planned and satisfy the current market needs.

We are 3/4 of the way through our build with Simonds homes and cannot be happier with the care, attention to detail and communication we have received from everyone from start to present, our consultant Conrad Mittra help design our dream home, his efforts to get us what we wanted in our home won us over and we chose to leave another builder because of this (even risking our deposits with the other builder), Nicole Dickson our Customer Relationship co-coordinator has worked tirelessly with the draftsmen to tie down any loose ends and alter any ...Read more

We built with Simonds after seeing their Sierra display house in SA at Blakes Crossing. Our first point of contact was with Nathan, who helped us with the plans, pricing and always responded quickly to our many queries. He was very professional and informative.
Next we met our Customer Care Manager - Josh, who made our journey very informative and relaxed. He responded to our queries very quickly and always put our mind at ease. Josh was such a pleasure to deal with.
Next we met Trish, for our selections appointment. She was amazing- she has...Read more

We have just completed handover and couldn't be happier with our experience with Simonds Homes. We originally signed with another builder whose upgrades were too expensive while having awful standard options so we eventually cut our losses and cancelled. Simonds' standard selections are of great quality and we didn't have to upgrade most things. When we signed they had a deal where you chose a certain amount to pay and got a higher amount to use on whatever upgrades you wanted, in our case we paid $15,000 and got $45,000 to spend (this is what ...Read more

The workmanship and build quality is very poor poor poor and the thing is that the engineer did not agree to it but said it was according to the building standards but I paid for best standards!!! Ridicule! One of the senior person I called to see my house says,"I can see it is not right but it is not wrong either." I don't know what he meant by that?
Simonds hire contractors without experience. If anyone want have a look at the quality of Simonds, do not go to their display homes, rather come and see my house and you will never ever build wit...Read more

Overall the build quality and workmanship was ok. Had a few issues with the painter but as I believe Simonds no longer use them due to the delays and lack of workmanship. Build was managed well despite a change in construction manager. The process did seem to go dormant between external and internal change over.

Customer service and support was excellent! Credit to the company. My only major issue with the company was the lack of communication that was given in taking out the a/c allowance. The truss spacing's were reduced which meant I was...Read more

Just got our keys and had a walk through prior for them to fix things, none of them have been done and now don't even have phone calls returned. Terrible after sales service, many 'shortcuts' taken through the build (ie. Coastal protection not honoured and standard nails used on frame). Delivery drives damaged garage entrance, then tried to patch and now have it painted a completely different colour to what was discussed... Building site was not cleaned up well at all with materials left which still haven't been picked up??! Selections were mis...Read more

Our house was a difficult one to build. We had an odd shape block that slopped in different angles, specific requirements and a set budget. The other builders wouldn't give us the time of day, we even had one yell at us for buying the block we did, another pretended to be interested and initially spent an hour with us but every time we came back for an appointment would be somehow tied up with something else. Simonds however did give us the time of day.

It took a very long time, lots of changes, lots of stress, there were plenty of times I n...Read more

Sales team were great and they have a really good setup and the process is fairly straight forward. However the tag line of "in it together" I feel couldn't be further from the truth. Once your house is built you are on your own. Unless you have the time to chase the site supervisor and the trades and take extra days off work because you are desperate to get things done than I would say choose another builder.
I am still trying to get things sorted at my new home (9months later) and it's becoming a nightmare. We built with Simonds feeling th...Read more

We decided to build with Simonds after a long and exhaustive search to find a builder that would suit us. We wandered into the Blakes Crossing display village in August 2013 and met Haydn, we saw the Sierra design and were pretty much sold then and there! Haydn was brilliant every step of the way and compared to all the other consultants we'd come across, he was by far the best. Informative, personable, honest and always got back to us when he said he would. We felt completely at ease with all the options available to us and nothing was too muc...Read more

We built our home with Simonds 1 month ago and have been very happy since. Simonds customer service was excellent!. Staff were very helpful on every stage of our home.
I was surprised on how pro-active the staff are and also the time they took to complete our home.
Our finishing of the home was really good and was very happy with the quality of the home.
