I'd like to consider them for a small build. Wondering how you went. Thanks Hi BuildRight1 Have actually finished building with them and think they are of reasonable quality. However, customer service is a bit of a hit and miss from my experience as our site supervisor is kinda forgetful most of the times and needs some chasing - although i am hearing other site supervisors don't have this issue. Happy to provide a referral to you and you may get special pricing. PM me.

Yes we are done with our build, 6 months for our single story, that is from the start of build, 9 months from settlement with Christmas holiday and Covid lockdown. TVH have turned over a beautiful home which was priced considerably lower by 50K compared to my friend's build price... with better inclusions, I'd say a 5 star. Also, I didn't find any major problem so far, just minor reworked doors. My colIeague's build with 1 of the top 10 builders had a bit of a major problem, and I didn't so I guess TVH is competitive enough. Since TVH have lifetime warranty that puts me at ease as well. But I would agree though that customer service is a hit and miss at times, 3 star. Just to clarify it is more on the office side for me. Unlike Marc171, I think our Supervisor is very nice and worked hard for our house. But then, like I said before in this thread, make sure to compare the inclusions with other builder. Anything they say during sales, please have it in writing. Get an inspector. The only way to know if you'll get a good deal is by checking the structure specifications (6star energy rating inclusion, window thickness, window glazing - please get someone who is expert on these things). If this is not your first build, then compare it with your old contract. Overall, I am happy with TVH build. I would be happy to build with them again in 3-5 years if the price and specifications are right. 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.
