They put their heart and soul into your build your not just a number.
We could not be happier from the very beginning we would dream about building a home with this company, we signed up November 2021. We got some terrible news in march 2022 (brick work had just started) with the health of one of our children which resulted in myself (mum) and child moving to Perth while he underwent treatment for cancer at 7 years old! I rung the builders to let them know and was told we will do our best to get the house done quick and stress free for you guys! All ready building in the hype and materials/trades been so scarce w...
Read moree didn’t think it would happen. But these guys stayed true to their word, if there was problems we never heard about them they took charge and did their job absolutely amazingly. We can’t thank the whole team for everything and going above and beyond for us! Steve our supervisor was fantastic we couldn’t fault his work and any of the trades he had come out. Bonnie was our go to in the office, she made everything so easy and most importantly stress free, and having was the original designer as we chose a house design then pretty much changed the hole inside to suit what we wanted and nothing was ever to hard or not able to be done. We love our new home and couldn’t be happier!

Rural Building claimed the plaster falling off my walls 1cm thick to be a maintenance issue from day 1 and under their 6mths maintenance they patched it in places all around the house. This issue continued past 6 mths and they claimed it was not structural and did not fit into the 6yr structural warranty and washed their hands of it. So every year I am still repairing this plaster issue which is obviously due to dubious workmanship in the first place. I don’t know what workers they employed to build my house, I can’t call them tradesman as t...
Read morehat would be an insult to real tradesman. Besides the plaster I had ongoing leaks at every join in the copper piping that I fixed at my own expense and they installed the bath the wrong way round – priceless Rural absolutely criminal.- +1

We have finally moved into our beautiful new home on the 13th of May and wanted to officially thank the team from RBC involved in our build. We are extremely happy with "The Karridale Retreat".
Starting with our building & design consultant for his expertise and knowledge regarding home choice, personalised plans to meet our specific needs and coming to our block in person to arrange for the best positioning of our home to ensure environmental efficiency in regards to heating and cooling etc.
Our Administration Team Leader was absolutely ama...
Read morezing throughout the entire build of our house. From pre-start to completion she was quick to reply to any emails, efficient in sorting any concerns and always honest, professional, supportive and happy to help. She was such a pleasure to work with :-). Our supervisor was able to keep things moving on our build, even in these difficult times of supply issues. It took 12 months in total from our pad down to handover which we never expected due to the current building climate. We are aware that there are numerous other people behind the scenes that we may not have met that also contributed to our building process and we would like to thank them all. We were very impressed with the entire process and after being warned by so many friends that "building can be hard", we have to say that we found it an absolute pleasure watching the process and seeing the final outcome. Rural Building Company has a great reputation and many of the delivery drivers, contractors and previous customers of RBC we came into contact with all praised their quality of work and professionalism. At a time when there may be a few disgruntled owners, contractors and suppliers, we just wanted to send a message of positivity and thanks, confirming that we would recommend RBC to anyone, and that our building experience was a great one.

From the beginning we were drawn to Rural Building's selection of farmhouse designs and selected one to build.
From the start the process was a smooth un-stressful process. The team communicated every step of the build to us and made sure we understood. There were no hidden unexpected cost increases to our build.
From the office staff to the building supervisors (Norma, Bonnie, Levi, Steve and Chris) we experienced an open and transparent company who strived to provide a quality service and build.
Our final build was fantastic and any issu...

We were always told that building a house would be a very stressful however Rural made it a very smooth process and promptly answered any questions we had along the way so we were fully informed. A great builder and a quality product. Highly recommend.- Customer Service

The Rural Building company were amazing we literally have no complaints from our city build.
From the moment I called them they were completely different to other builders. Rural try to be the building company that understands, but disability they didn't have any experience with so they learnt with us! And wow they outdid themselves. Rural listened to our wants and needs and designed a home specifically and exactly like we had dreamed (but never believed possible). From meeting our our no pressure friendly salesman, to the talented architect w...

The reviewer stated that an incentive was offered for this review
Management was excellent. Staff always approachable and contactable. The workers were always prompt and worked long hours.
Quality of the carpentry exceptional in particular and they were very hard workers.
A few issues with the installation of the stove by the plumbers which I feel was not done properly and have recently had to have fixed.
Cost came in under estimate which was a nice surprise.

Our build in Denmark was our second home we have owned but the first time we have been through the building process. We were anticipating a fair few problems along the way after speaking with other people who have built in the area but were so happy when it virtually went off without a hitch!!
From the beginning the Country Builders representative was very patient with us with the back and forth to ensure the design was exactly what we wanted. He would visit us at our home and assisted us to get the design and look we were after within our bu...

Congratulations on your new Rural Building Company home, wishing you a lifetime of memories in your new abode. I will be sure to pass this onto the Albany team, if they have not seen it already! Thank you.We have been living in our new home for 3 months now, this is a dream come true. Our first build, living 600kms away and a pregnancy. Our home is built with no corner cut, to the highest quality polished and perfect. Every employee at Rural was a pleasure to deal with. So glad we put all our trust in Rural Builders, the standard quality of there homes allows you to not really need to know much about what you are doing. There are so many extra features in our home we didn't know we had that really finish it off nicely.

Great experience. This is my first time building and the process was very easy and clear from the start. The sales team were very helpful with answering any questions. The building supervisor was approachable and easy to talk to with no problem being to big or small. I was expecting that building with a larger company that my house would just be another number for the contractors on site but was pleasantly surprised by the care and workmanship of all the trades.

Hi Reed, so great to read that your first home building experience was enjoyable. From the sales team, to the building supervisor and overall experience, as we believe every home is important. All the best with your new home!
Thank you for building my first ever home!! I have only been living there for a few weeks and absolutely love it!
From the sales consultant, construction supervisor and everyone in between were fantastic. I expected to be a few hiccups through our build however, everyone was more than happy to come up with a few solutions to the problem to make sure that I was happy- much appreciated. Thank you again, I would defiantly recommend to friends and family.

The building itself looks strong and bold sitting on our 1 acre block with some serious timber poles and raked ceiling that set the home apart from any others that we have seen.
The finishings in the kitchen, bathrooms and scullery where done first class obviously by tradies that are at the top of their game.
Our building Supervisor who has been in the building game for years was amazing, he helped us understand the process and gave us a comfortable feeling through the build . He ...

My husband and I specifically chose to build with Rural Building Co for our second build after loving their designs and reading through all the great reviews. We were not disappointed! From the initial sales person (Joel) through to the plan drawings and the on-to completion, RBC exceeded our expectations and consistently communicated with us to ensure that we were always kept up to speed with the goings-on of the build. Specifically we were very impressed with our New Home Administrator Brooke, who was extremely patient with us as we made mult...

I am pleased and relieved to say we did not have any real issues and any problems that did arise were dealt with and resolved in a timely manner. Due to wet weather we were not able to start building straight away but the staff kept us up to date and as soon as it was dry enough to build they started straight away and things moved along fine from there. We had our own ideas on the floor plan of the home we chose and the S...

A stunning family home built with ease, to suit the acreage. The quality of products that RBC used exceeded our expectation along with the building site kept neat and tidy throughout the build, reflects the good standard and professionalism by the trades that came through the site.

This made the progress throughout the build a stress free time, which ensure that we enjoyed the experience of building.
