Southern Built Homes

Our home was completed 12 months ago and we could not be happier. Our build went so smoothly and all the trades did an awesome professional job. We first walked into Julians office with a scrap piece of paper with our floor plan and they delivered an amazing home. We built in Collie and wanted steel frame 2 storey. The whole process from start to finish was an exciting enjoyable experience. Thank you Jess and Southern Built Homes for making our dream come true.

Really happy that we went with Southern Built Homes for our custom off-grid build in Balingup. I spoke to several builders, mostly larger companies, but SBH stood out from the start: the other builders I spoke to were mainly interested in steering us towards a more expensive off-the-plan home. Julian took the time to meet with us and understand what we wanted, which was a small custom design based on passive solar principles. The draftsman Blake took our basic sketch and turned it into a well thought out, beautiful, functional home, while being very patient with our rookie questions and last minute change requests. Julian then worked with us at the quote stage to achieve all the important things within our limited budget. Overall, it felt like quite a rare experience where the builder was genuinely trying to understand our needs and help us achieve them. The build process itself has also been good, especially considering how busy the whole industry is at the moment. We reached practical completion within four months of earthworks. We love our new home, and I feel lucky that we found SBH — the whole team is great to work with, and I don’t think we would have got such a good result for our budget elsewhere.

I am leaving a 4 star review as I had an amazing start to my build experience, my build itself it beautiful. But to be left the day before getting the keys with the knowledge that I had to do my stormwater, holes under my slab where water got under, no hole drilled for my washing machine, my rainwater tank not hooked up to actually collect rainwater. And generally the time limit given at the start sounded great to be in at Christmas did not occur till 2 months later. So although the build process was smooth till the end , I was let down. Even after sending more business their way. I would recommend the builders for the quality of build I got but would pass on this info as these things really caused me dramas at the time I did not need them.

We built with SBH last year (have been in for 10months) and are so happy with the whole process. We were able to work with them to achieve exactly what we wanted in a home and for our budget. All the trades who worked on the house were great and did a wonderful job. We continually get asked about our home and will always recommend them.

Well what a journey it's been. From day one everyone at Southern Built Homes have been amazing. It was challenging for me as I was going from a 4x2 to a 2x1 granny flat. They helped me create my forever home and offered advise if I strayed off the path and bought me back into line with my budget. They kept me updated while I was away for 3 months and were very respectful of the fact that it was an existing property and home with lots of animals. The end result is my beautiful home on the farm where I can reflect and enjoy. I can't thank them enough and can honestly recommend that you contact Thank you all so much.

Introductory meeting with Julian was great. SBH have high quality products in their showrooms to complete your house. We didn't need to look any further with a turn around build time understandably pushing out in these busy times.
