Building our first home was supposed to be a "challenging" "stressful" "bad" experience. But we think choosing the right builder can prevent all that. We wanted a Local Builder with a good reputation and Designer Homes more than exceeded all our expectations.

The whole team worked with us every step of the way, until we were completely happy, and even beyond receiving the keys to our new home. You just can't beat that!

Thank you guys for making our first building experience the opposite to what we were always told it would be! We look forward to building the next one with you!

To date, Chris Allen and the team from Gladstone Designer homes have built 4 quality homes for our family over the past 14 years, including our sons first home.

Chris Allen’s reputation of designing and building an excellent quality house, was the reason we chose to go with him back in 2002 with the build our new 5-bedroom home. The attention to detail, the top quality products and finishes that were a standard feature and the finished workmanship was why we have stayed with Chris Allen and his team for our builds since.

Chris Allen and his team at Gladstone Designer homes are fantastic, no issue to big or too small and we have certainly given them challenges with steep blocks and builds with massive retaining walls.

We could present an idea and then the team would come up with a plan to suit our needs, there was no plan not suitable, solvable or attainable.

Chris Allen and his team can work through any issue, the contracts are straightforward and there were no hidden costs.

We would recommend Chris Allen and Gladstone Designer Homes for your next build.

I had approached several local builders before I met with Chris Allen from Designer Homes and never having built before but having grown up and worked in the building industry myself I was immediately impressed. Not only did they surpass their competitors in price, they did so quality!

From start to finish it was clear that I was dealing with a highly and friendly team who were committed to meeting my needs and took a lot of the stress away that normally comes with a build. I had a of friends who were also building homes with various local builders who could not believe the willingness Chris and the team from Gladstone Designer Homes showed to ensure every attention was payed, not to mention Chris Allen's standard range was a lot of other's gold range. There were no "Gotchas'' during or at the end of the build and everything on the building was on track and exceeding expectations. Chris was flexible and made available at any stage. I found him true to his reputation of being honest man and a high quality builder.

An unexpected highlight for me in the process and a credit to Chris Allen is team of people he has accrued under the Gladstone Designer Homes umbrella. From the immediate employees to the electricians, plumbers, cabinet makers, flooring and fittings people and everyone in-between did an exceptional job. Working particularly with (Operations Manager/Site Supervisor/Delegate - LOL) Mitch and (whatever your job title is/Get me some Low GI Sugar:) Kelly who were excellent in informing me at every stage, guiding me how I could maximize the use of every dollar, anticipating and responding to my every need and want and worked hard to deliver our home.

I wouldn't consider anyone else if I decided to build again! My home is stunning and I have no hesitation in recommending Gladstone Designer Homes to others.

Gladstone Designer Homes built our house like it was their own home.
