We built in Brisbane with “Omni Built Homes” and we’re delig

Good evening all,

Late 2019 my wife and I purchased a block of land (brisbane, daisy hill) with the dreams of building our forever home. After months of research and queries with different builders we came across "Omni Built Homes" based in Tingalpa, Brisbane.

We met with Omni numerous times, as we had done with numerous other builders before we eventually signed up, and were glad we did. Working with Omni was a pleasure and everything worked out as we imagined. They are a "small" builder, but the quality was fantastic. We had hired an independent inspector to do an inspection at each stage (4) as we have no building knowledge and all reports came back "above average" and they were quite impressed with the care and detail given to our build. Costs were on par with other volume builders, but feel we got more bang for our buck as we built a custom home to suit our block (might be a little bias as it was our house but we are happy) with great inclusions.

We had a flat block, but it's a 'battle axe' built behind another house. Everything was straight forward and there were no major issues or unexpected surprises involved with building our house which resulted in a relatively stress-less build. The house was completed over two months ahead of schedule, even during the peak of covid when we had signed up. They may of had a longer build time frame but it wasn't a straight forward house and was still delivered ahead of schedule.

Being a small builder we feel as if we had a more of a personal experience and weren’t just a number. Everyone knew what was going on and who we were which meant our queries were settled in a timely manner.

If anyone has queries or questions about using them feel free to send me a message.

Thanks again

Steve
