I'm waiting on finance approval then looking to build with them but have been reading mixed reviews. thanks Re: Bright Homes Constructions 23Apr 06, 2015 12:13 am Hi, Does anyone has more information about this company. I am about to go with them as well. Re: Bright Homes Constructions 24Jun 23, 2015 1:46 am tcybula Hi all I am looking to build with these guys and wondered if they were reputable since the last time a post was put on here about 2 years ago. Cheers Tom have you gone with bright homes .... Re: Bright Homes Constructions 25Aug 23, 2015 5:09 pm Hi, I have a friend that had built with these guys, and lets just say it was not a good experience. I have heard Long Island Homes are very good. They have a fantastic display i Warralily coast estate. Re: Bright Homes Constructions 26Aug 29, 2015 5:57 pm I m currently in process of building with them in south eastern suburb area. So far is a mix experience. Some of the option during color selection is not what has been explained during the sales process. Timeline wise already not according to what has been explained during the initial contract signing. Response time is a mix, sometimes very fast and sometimes very slow and you have to chase them up or until you gave up. I will update more when the project progressed. Bright Homes Constructions 28Feb 16, 2016 8:37 am I am building with Bright Homes Construction now and the work is coming along quickly. The major problem with them is communication as they have none. If there are problems or mistakes you cannot contact them quick enough to rectify, as well as they change things without informing you. The quality of the tradies doing the work is very high. From my dealings after contract sign I would not recommend them. Re: Bright Homes Constructions 29Mar 18, 2016 9:34 pm Hi willi13 and loknor.any updates? My first builders has gone into liquidation and bhc are finishing of my house. They took over in November(contract signed) and so far can't complain with the works they have done. Charlie had been awesome who was honest regarding what needed to be done and has rectified a lot of issues from old builders mistakes. It started slow due to fixing issues from old builders but after that everyday seems like something new has been done which is awesome. Will let you guys know how handover and everything goes and also quality of the work. Hope this helps Re: Bright Homes Constructions 30Apr 12, 2016 2:04 pm I have just come across this page and I am just about to sign contract to have house built in Yarra Glen. I am a little nervous as I am finding more negative reviews than positive altho there isn't to much to find. I am really hoping to hear how the quality is? As the contractor talks very highly about the quality and also said time line of the house will be 9 months which is fine I honestly don't mind waiting. Re: Bright Homes Constructions 31Aug 14, 2016 10:39 am Hi Everyone, Just wondering if anyone has finished building with BHC and if so how did it go?? Just purchased land and we have gone through so many floor plans etc with different companies but something keeps pulling in to this company. We have had a rough quote done for us by them which seem very reasonable for what other companies have offered. Just a little concerned about things 'popping' up further down the line etc we started the process months ago with Home Buyers Centre and they completely tried pulling the wool over our eyes luckily we saw it and got out of the contract at the beginning before we got stuck. Just don't want the same to happen again. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Re: Bright Homes Constructions 32Sep 23, 2016 2:11 pm I finished building with Bright Homes Constructions about 3 months ago. Had lots of communication problems during the construction. They will not work in with you, it is there way or the highway. Same with repairs, you have to work in with them and no compromise from them if they contact you back. Most of the tradies were very good and quality is average for todays standards. If your prepared to take a lot of time off to keep an eye on the construction (to check and report problems) and be there when they are it would help but they will not go out of there way at all for you. I would not recommend them at all. Our experience with them was very negative. Re: Bright Homes Constructions 33Sep 25, 2016 5:15 am We got our house constructed with them about an year ago. Had troubles in communication. They are very unprofessional and do not provide any updates on how the things are going. Take a long time to build a house. Stops the work in between. After the completion, we had troubles with the finishing they had in cupboards. Plumbing work was terrible. Had leakages every where. They won't reply you back quickly about when the things are going to be fixed properly. Low quality smoke alarms, exhaust fans which damaged in an year and had to be replaced. A biggest suggestion to those who are building with them is to make sure things are fixed properly and you get all the warranty cards, keys, user guides, paper work etc before providing them the final cheque as you won't be able to contact them easily after that. Re: Bright Homes Constructions 34Sep 27, 2016 9:05 pm Please stay away from this builder. No communication whatsoever (customer have to keep calling until giving up) False promise - even though got it in writing Slow in building Rude and arrogant director (construction) Difficult to arrange a house inspection Quality is standard All the negative review above are very true. I regreted building with this builder. Will never recommend it to anyone. The review on their facebook are worth to read as well. I don't believe the positive reviews for this company are from the real customers but from the builder affiliate.

Re: Bright Homes Constructions 37Apr 07, 2023 9:13 pm I found the sales staff professional and willing to help me. I found the administrative staff unresponsive, unprofessional and rude. It would seem they are doing me a favour by agreeing to build a house for me. If I emailed in with questions, I might get one answered. They barely answered any emails, unless it was a request for a payment. The sight supervisor only met with me once and refused all contact. Now the house is finished they refuse to come back and fix the issues, such as a badly fitting sliding door, which is scratched down to bare wood. They dropped clay on my property from other building sights and then never took it away, leaving me with the responsibility to remove it. I am still picking up rubbish after 5 months, nails, screws, tin, cigarette butts, bricks on a weatherboard house, plastic and other building rubbish that no one could be bothered to put in the bin supplied Dont use them. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 47424 I would never build with Fowler homes.
