PhilJurien Bay
The process was easier than we thought it was going to be. It was easy to find a house plan that we liked and increased the size to make it fit our families.
Lili, Chris & KarlaWundowie
They were so honest with us. It was always open; we weren’t in for any surprises.
It’s been a great experience. We just want to move in!
Rob & KymYork
I just found them very accommodating and willing to help us explore our ideas. It’s our first house that we’ve ever built.
Anna & GlennNortham
We wanted to go for a farm-style house, with a long frontage. When we were choosing our builder, we began looking through houses around our area. The other WA Country Builders houses really stood out; they were just beautiful. We knew they they’d done a good job and that’s why we trusted them.
Everyone’s been really, really good. We’ve had what felt like, to us, so many questions throughout the process, especially being first-home builders. Everyone’s been really inviting. They’ve been great, every step of the way.
Courtney & HaydenDarling Downs
Adam is a great ambassador for your company, and his standard of work and efficiency are excellent; it reflects the pride he takes in his job.
JeffDunsborough
Excellent value for money. Cost about two thirds of what one would spend on the same build on the east coast and with better overall quality.
Flexible in accommodating any requests. Plan to use them again for the next build.
MarianAlbany
Built a basic 3 by 2, was an overall positive experience, house was completed in well under a year and I’m happy with the final product.
Big thanks to Giles, Nicole, Ian and the rest of the team for a relatively low stress building experience.
MattAlbany
Slab to Keys in Under a Year!
We couldn’t have asked for a better timeline — from slab to keys in under 12 months!
DavidGeraldton
There is no denying it was a drawn-out process from signing up to receiving the keys at handover; however, the result today is a quality home that is built to spec as agreed. Focusing on the quality of my home, I am satisfied with not one warranty concern after the initial six months
MarkSouth-West
We have been very happy in our new home and continue to delight in what was created and how it all came together.
Leon & CatherineSouth-West
We met with Shane this morning and he was fantastic, great to catch up with him and see all the amazing progress being made. Shane is great and the build looked awesome.
Damon & TanyaSouth-West
Me and Grace want to thank you and all the builder and supervisor who looked after us during our building process. I know it took so long, but in the end, everyone is safe and happy. We hope to see and talk again to you in the future
Cris & GraceSouth-West
They did a really good job, and I am thoroughly impressed to the level of detail and quality.
Would I build with WA Country Builders again?
You bet I would!
ChrisAlbany
We are so pleased with our new home.
The team in the Geraldton Office really went above and beyond to help us.
KymGeraldton
We were very satisfied with the quality of the work on our home and all our visitors have been impressed.
We also appreciated the help and advice from the staff in sorting out problems with choice of materials and supply difficulties when they arose.
It was job well done.
Trevor & SimoneBunbury
We have recently moved into our new home in Albany, built by WA Country Builders. We are so happy with the quality of the build. It was such an easy process for us and we did not have any hiccups along the way.
Our home is functional and spacious and makes the most of our block space.
Thank you so much!
TessaAlbany
Friends, neighbours and family have been blown away by our experience.
The speed at which the house has gone up, the quality of workmanship throughout the build and most of all the quality of people who have been employed by WA Country builders.
CarmelAlbany
We have just completed our build and are so in love.
We had a few delays along the way, mainly waiting on a carpenter to build the frames. Apart from that is was a good build, taking around 124 weeks from site works to complete.
DebAustralind
I recently completed a demolish and develop project with WA Country Builders.
I can only commend the professionalism and workmanship throughout the entire process. Darren, Ian, Nicole and the team have been brilliant.
It was an absolute pleasure to have the team deliver a fantastic new home.
DaveMira Mar
If you’re looking at building, I’d definitely recommend it. Being able to have your home exactly as you want it, and exactly how you envisioned it in your head, WA Country Builders were able to accommodate that.
We couldn’t be happier with our new coastal retreat and highly recommend WA Country Builders to anyone looking to build their dream home.
Mick & LisaGeraldton
The customisation was one of the good things WA Country Builders were able to give us, on top of the plans they offer.
If you’re looking at building, I’d definitely recommend it. It’s great being able to have your home exactly as you want it, and exactly how you envisioned it in your head.
Joel & KailynGeraldton
Building’s been a dream of mine for a long time. I’ve had a scrap book going for two years. WA Country Builders plans appealed to us as it fit with our lifestyle.
We’d visited WA Country Builder display homes and other people’s houses before. The quality was always really good which is why we decided to build with them.
Sarah & LeviDongara
WA Country Builders’ turnkey approach was a major draw for me. I was presented with a variety of plans to choose from. They were incredibly supportive and genuinely interested in understanding what I truly needed.
We did have some specific changes we wanted, but having such a solid foundation to begin with saved us a significant amount of time and effort.
PaulEsperance
We had a specific vision – a smaller home with an eastern entrance that still fit the neighbourhood style.
Sue used her standard plans as a base and ‘cut and pasted’ them to create exactly what we wanted. She kept us updated with quotes throughout the build to make sure we stayed within budget.
David & JacquiMargaret River
It was a really good build and we enjoy having the space to create memories for our family.
Joseph & AlisonBakers Hill
I went in with a very clear idea of what I wanted and they guided me. My advice is to find a builder who’s going to work with you and guide you in the right direction.
Kandice & JamesBaskerville
As soon as we went to the Dunsborough display home – that was it!
We had a budget that we could work with and WA Country Builders managed to [fanangle] it, and we got it through which was awesome.
Tammy & MartinAmbergate
I was really happy with everything that WA Country Builders helped me with.
They helped me with every step of being a first home owner, explained everything really easily, helped me understand what everything was, from pre-start, colour designs, and to how everything is going to go with building.
It was really easy and simple.
CarissaBusselton
This is the third build with WA Country Builders, and we’ve found the quality to be really great and the people are really good to work with.
Building has been absolutely fantastic, we definitely recommend them to other people and would probably do it again.
