Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Semore homes 2Oct 31, 2019 1:09 pm airwolf Hi there, have any one heard about Semore homes. It's a new custom builder in south east melbourne. I looked into their FB page and the site. looks pretty good. Any ideas please ? Just looked them up... Seem very similar to Hallbury and Inspired Homes. Also, all 3 are located within about 10 minutes of each other Upcoming projects in Lysterfield and Officer look ok, but are renderings only. I'd walk through a display though. Definitely worth a look https://thomasarcherbuild.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html - Thomas Archer Homes - Custom Nouveau 41 Re: Semore homes 4Nov 01, 2019 5:55 pm airwolf yeah, I went to see a project in progress in bentleigh. Site looked pretty good. Planning to go through a couple of ongoing and past projects prior to do a design brief. I'm also in the process of looks of into them. Have had one appointment with them and quite impressed so far. Have also knocked on a couple of doors to ask if the owners would build with them again. Both said yes. Great customer service to date. We checked out the Bentleigh one also, looked like very good workmanship to me. Re: Semore homes 5Nov 05, 2019 9:24 pm Visited two sites last weekend. one in progress and one moved in. Both of the owners are very happy with the service and end products. Specially with their flexibility to choose your own suppliers for certain things ( like appliances, doors..etc) . Pretty rare with bigger custom builders these days. I am very impressed with the build quality / workmanship. Both are custom houses very specific to client needs. With a good private inspector, there's a very high possibility of getting a near perfect finish in my opinion. I came to know that one of the directors is himself supervising the sites. So that's a very positive sign. Re: Semore homes 6Jan 18, 2020 6:20 pm Hi, after receiving advice to check these guys out we are taking the initial steps with them. They appear very responsive and are gray communicators at this preliminary stage. It would be great to know some more about their history as we feel a little exposed going with a smaller newer player who is yet to build a solid reputation in the industry. That being said, very happy with the experience thus far and will be proceeding with Semore at this stage.

Potential KDR in Bentleigh Hey Wishy, We looked very briefly at them (while we seriously considered two other contenders). I too was a little concerned about their "newness", even though I was told their director was previously high up at another builder here. What design are you considering? I know Bentleigh (Kingston, or Glen Eira?) doesn't have the same tight constraints of Bayside council, and therefore something really outstanding could be achieved at a reasonable cost. Will follow on intently to see how things progress. https://thomasarcherbuild.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html - Thomas Archer Homes - Custom Nouveau 41 Re: Semore homes 8Aug 27, 2020 8:11 am I was very impressed with the quality & reviews from every one of their customers I spoke to. Unfortunately I missed the Semore boat by couple of days! . I even decided to stretch my budget by 40k just knowing that I would get a quality build and freedom to choose fixtures without hidden upgrade costs. Their base price obviously was higher than other custom builders. I was told they have booked themselves up until mid 2021 so cant take any more deposits let alone design & build. Even tried to convince their director but seems they want to deliver quality over quantity. So I am considering second best out of 5 I had to quote.

Potential KDR in Bentleigh Hi Wishy, Did you proceed with Semore homes and is there any comment possibly to share? We are also about to build our upsize home and very impressed with our first meeting with them. Would love to hear any opinions. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74701 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
