Read moreSemore were great in taking our concept design and making it constructible within our budget. Their management was first class and set the expectations for the build at the start of construction. They even helped resolve our problems with the tiled floors and solar panel wiring installation. Construction was completed as requested before Christmas even though the contracted deadline was early 2026. Semore were great at organising extra work such as concreting and front decking. The only improvement would be maintaining site cleanliness during construction but generally well managed by Rob and Trinity. Great work guys.

Read moreWe have been in our Semore Home since Dec21. It was May 2020 and I remember feeling unsure if I wanted to build at all as I was not sure how the building industry would fare during the COVID 19 epidemic. But after speaking with Pierre, it became clear that I would be in safe hands with Semore. After all, they limit their monthly build starts to ensure a responsible and sustainable business model. Contract preparations was a breeze. I shared my vision and my budget and Semore took the project on wholeheartedly. On a number of occasions, we tried to add more to the budget while Pierre tried to stop us from overspending to stick to the budget. They were honestly trying to take care of us throughout the process. Before we knew it, they would take possession of our land in Mar21 and we would be handed the keys in Dec21. 9 months, despite various lockdowns in Victoria. Very impressive unit! Since moving in, we have kept in close communications with the team at Semore. Sometimes for minor requests or sometimes just for a chit chat. Seriously, it’s just fun to talk to these guys. Importantly, they treat the smallest of rectification work seriously, and are always available to pay a visit if needed. Their after sales support is simply top level and it reassures me to know my house is taken care of. Some of my friends and family have chosen Semore Homes to build their home. I guess they were impressed with what they saw. My only complaint is that I can’t book an airbnb holiday house and enjoy it as much as I do at my Semore Home. Pierre, Rebecca, Craig, Mark, Simon and the rest of the team. All great guys and thanks for the lovely home! I’ve attached some photos of us enjoying our home. Spending time in the yard with my daughter :) T&L

Read moreI wanted to take a moment to highlight our excellent experience building with Semore Homes. As this was our first build and our first home, there was naturally a lot of uncertainty at the start. We chose Semore Homes initially because of what they offered — the time provided for design and selections, the clear sequence of how the build would progress, the convenient app to track updates, their strong network of local suppliers, and their commitment as a company to operate with a minimal debt burden. While those factors guided our initial decision, the reason I’m taking the time to write this review is because of the exceptional quality of their work, the open accessibility and communication from both the office and our site manager, and their transparency in addressing any issues that arose during the process. It’s easy to make a home look great in a digital render, but the finished product matched perfectly — and the build quality was, and remains, fantastic. We were fortunate that our build was largely free of delays or major issues. On the rare occasions when something did come up, Semore Homes were collaborative and solution-focused, presenting us with multiple options — often along with their own thoughtful recommendations, even when these weren’t in their own immediate interest. I can’t compare our experience with other builders, as this was our first, but I can confidently say Semore Homes stand out for their commitment to their customers and their pride in craftsmanship. They’re passionate about what they do and have built a genuinely high-quality team. The only reason I didn’t give a full 5/5 is that I think there’s always room to refine the post-build handover and follow-up process — though to their credit, Semore Homes were responsive and willing to help whenever we reached out. We have no plans to leave our home any time soon — but if we ever build again, we wouldn’t consider anyone other than Semore Homes.

Read moreOur knock down rebuild in the city of Monash was challenging from the start; irregular block, slope and building envelope restrictions as property backs on to council park land. We spent over 18 months discussing options with volume builders, architects and a number of custom builders, most were not interested in the challenge or couldn’t build within our budget. We were lucky to get referred to Semore Homes; from the start it was clear to us Craig and the team had a different approach to others in industry. They took the time to have a good look at the property and was upfront on possible challenges and how they would approach the build. Their standard designs didn’t fit our block, but Dean came up with an amazing layout and design concept that delivered everything we wanted and more. The process to final contract, fixtures, electrical, colours, etc.. was enjoyable. Every step of the way the team was open and up front, listened to our thoughts and came up with suggestions and options from their years of experience in the industry. As we knew nothing of building process we hired an independent inspector who consistently told us the build quality and attention to detail from Trinity and the build team was second to none. We’ve been living in our beautiful Semore Home for three months now and absolutely love it! People constantly slow down to have a good look at our amazing build and we love telling anyone who asks how amazing Semore Homes are. Superb quality, value for money, on budget, beautiful and a great group of people that have made the entire process a breeze.

Read moreWe’ve been in here about 18 months now. We love our house; everyone who visits loves our house. The design is stunning. Since we moved in, we’ve had a couple of issues - the main thing for me is that there is always somebody available to take my call and fix it. Would definitely build with Semore again

Read moreWe had a challenging project with a sloping building envelope for which we had designed a 3 level single storey home. We had spoken with Multiple builders and had gotten to various stages before either being told they cant do it or it was just too expensive. 2 years wasted. We were about to give up when in a last ditch effort of quizzing mainstream builders we were given Craig's details. Well that recommendation changed everything. Craig was awesome he looked at our design, ask us our expectations and came up with some great suggestions to enhance our own ideas. 2 weeks later Dean and he had come up with a winner. The design studio was fantastic and soon afterwards our package was put together and on budget. Seven months from cut to finished, the process was seamless and the communication from the team was excellent. Trinity and the boys were fantastic. We have and will continue to recommend Semore homes to anyone looking for a quality build at a realistic price. We consistently have people comment on our home, thanks to team Semore for making our vision a reality.
