I've just received my key's for my Sterling home. I found this forum by googling "Sterling Homes" because I'm so discusted with them that I wanted to see if anyone else was feeling my pain.... It appears I'm not alone. Yes I got put on hold for well over 5 min on a number of occasions only to then leave a message which NEVER gets returned. Yes they are now becoming rude to me because I'm starting to not take no for an answer anymore. Things that were in the contract from day one are still not finished and appears will simply never get finished. The only reason I paid up was because they already had 90% progress payments and was not going to wait another 3 months for them to do 2 days work, while I pay interest on nearly the full amount. Will work out cheaper for me to do it myself or even hire my own contractor to finish the job than to wait for them to finish. Hopefully word of mouth is powerful. Because there is definately nothing good coming from mine in regards to Sterling Homes.

I would not recommend anyone build with Sterling, as I have never heard anyone say anything good about them. I wonder if building companies read these forums, because they bloody well should!

I signed for a house in Dec 2007, I eventually got it incomplete in May 2009. Since then I have been chasing them to repair the damage to the house interior because they didn't finish the roof before the interior and it rained inside. Our septic system has been installed too low and floods when it rains. The plumbing in the house does not drain properly and the smell from the drains is sickening. We now have a problem with both shower recesses leaking into the adjorning walls. Customer service is non existent and we will never build with them again. When ringing the HIA they asked what do you what us to do about it. Are Sterling management on the board of HIA? Re: Has anyone built with Sterling Homes? 11Feb 01, 2016 10:11 pm Hello sorry to revive and old thread by i am building through sterling homes at the moment in Adelaide and so far the experience has been very good communication wise although they don't connect you directly to the site supervisor but you have to go though an admin staff at the office which seems unnecessary a long way to do it but she has been great so far! If anybody has any question about sterling id be happy to answer them i am up to roofing stage so far. Re: Has anyone built with Sterling Homes? 12Aug 01, 2017 12:13 pm In the very early stages with Sterling homes, up to the selections phase now. So far very happy with the Communication, I see they have got some poor reviews, however I take them the with a grain of salt as who knows the people they would have to deal with! All you can go on is the display homes, price and quality of salesperson, which were all very good!! Cant wait for the build to start!! Re: Has anyone built with Sterling Homes? 13Jun 03, 2021 6:58 pm I have just been given the keys to my home however I have been left with a feeling of regret and anxiety. Building with Sterling has been a complete nightmare, every discussion and meeting just left me feeling insecure. It felt like it was all business and no customer care at all. Although the house has been handed to us, none of the defects we mention has been fixed or even a mention that they would be. appliance still has not been installed. this is the worse decision I have made in my life and I do warn others Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently. We have signed mid range built contract but identified that a lot of things are not included.… 0 1142 Hi All, we are starting to think of building with Masterpiece Builders in Victoria, has anyone had any feedback or experience with them 0 14100 I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home. Not only did I find Matt Lowe patronising and a bully, but the home is NOT TO CODE. I have water coming through the bricks… 1 15094 |
