Narrow lot homes

Nowadays, it’s hard to find a trustworthy building company that treats clients like mates. Here are some reasons why I highly recommend Ownit Homes to build your next home (not just a place to crash).

Reasons to consider Ownit Homes:

Affordability: Ownit Homes offers complete transparency. You’ll have the freedom and peace of mind to choose materials and understand potential costs without being limited to a predetermined selection of colours, materials, and appliances. From my experience, Ownit Homes is willing to do maths with you.

Customisation: This is the bread and butter of Ownit Homes. You have control over how you want your home to be. They prioritise your designs and ensure you won’t feel pressured into using pre-designed plans from their displays or brochures. If you’re into specific requirements for structurals, materials and appliances (and in my case; government’s infrastructural requirements), Ownit Homes is more than willing to accommodate your needs.

Addressing Issues Beyond Construction: Few building companies are willing to go the extra mile to resolve issues with their clients. For instance, I faced a covenant problem that was my fault entirely. My home was about 80% complete, but because of this issue the construction was at risk of being demolished (no exaggeration, got legal papers to prove this). Ownit Homes didn’t turn away or threaten legal action against me. Instead, we sat down together to find an acceptable solution that adhered to the covenant code while allowing us to complete the home. Long story short, everything ended up compliant.

Deliverance and Results: What you see, what you want is what you get. The result of the home after overcoming numerous obstacles and challenges did not compromise. Built as promised with fixable defects (those who are less familiar with building homes, ‘every’ construction is guaranteed to have defects). Nothing to complain about really.

Why do I rate Ownit Homes 5 stars? Simply put, Couldn’t find ways to give them a 7-star rating on Google Reviews. Ownit Homes deserves to be recognised as a 7-star building company.

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the team.  You have a really good team who looks after the clients. I am personally impressed with their timely response to my email, and queries during the build of my house. If i do not say a few words about the following team members, I think it is not fair for them:

Ashleigh - I will start with her. A fantastic young lady who went through with us from the colour selection. Sorted out my queries with a quick turnaround at all times. Love working with her. 

Jackson - Your site supervisor is awesome. Listen to the clients, their concerns and conversation with them patiently. He explained things very calmly. I like the way he approaches clients and sometimes I forget my problem because of his gentle approach. 

Leisa/ Gail - Always helped with admin related queries. Communication is spot on and I love it. 

Tradies - You have really good tradies. Especially your tiler - Chris, I really like him and his skills. Also your electrical team, plumber (Jack) and the carpenter - they are outstanding compared to others.

Tracey - Fantastic in finance side. Again, communication is very good. She is on top of invoicing all the time. 

Last but not least, you Brad. I really appreciate how you engaged with me during the latter part of the construction. You are again a good listener, and will be a very good quality when dealing with clients. 

We will be moving into the house early next week and thank you all for your wonderful support in making our dreams a reality despite to the current challenges in the construction industry.

“From the first time we looked at the display home at Rochedale and spoke with John we decided that Ownit was the one to build our forever home. The initial process to have plans finalised was slow however once construction started the build progressed smoothly. Construction supervisor Bob promised us he'd ensure we had a Display home quality build and true to his word we have a beautiful home that fills us with pride. Trades staff did a great job with excellent attention to detail. All of the team at Ownit need congratulating - if we had any questions / concerns they were dealt with promptly and professionally. All specifications / variations were explained to us and clearly documented including provisional sums for site works - unexpected bonus was for us to receive a lower final invoice to reflect unused provisional $'s. I'd strongly recommend Ownit Homes to anyone building.”

I've just built a new home with Ownit in Tarragindi. I wanted to say thank you for the team for making it such a good experience. In all seriousness, the process was excellent and a real credit to the team, they were always happy to answer my questions, I would speak to the trades and was in communication with our project manager every single week of the process. My comment when I signed up, was that I think they offer a great product for a great price. Now at the other end of the process, I'm delighted to report it all went to plan!

Planning to build a house - for the first time in our lives - is a big task! 

A customized design on a rural block, a high wind-rating, uneven terrain and less than ideal access conditions make it even more tricky. To find a project builder to take on those challenges was a true research activity: Ownit Homes came out as the top favourite.

It was and still is a journey, needless to say, but with comprehensive assistance of the Ownit team (sales, engineering, design and admin/co-ordination) we finalized the plans, made fit-out selections and processed approvals. We can certainly say that Ownit Homes operates very professional, all team members are very responsive, they pay attention to detail and importantly – take pride in providing a favourable client outcome.

Now, our Hampton style home is half way build. Not even 3 months ago we started and Lock-up stage is around the corner. Excellent workmanship by Ownit appointed craftsmen is complemented by strict supervision of other contractors through competent site management. Frequent progress updates and forecast on next activities are provided. 

We are very satisfied with the progress so far and looking forward to move into a modern and feature-rich Ownit Home soon. 

Well done Ownit Team, Thank you!

We built with Ownit Homes a year ago and couldn't be happier!  From the moment we walk through their display home to the handover of our new home, everyone was so genuine and friendly, from our salesman, to our colour consultant, the head office staff and our supervisor. What I really liked was that everything was included in their homes, so I knew exactly what I was getting by walking through their display homes. Our salesman took a lot of time helping us design the best home for our family and from the many homes they have on display, this process was made a lot easier. Our home is everything we imagined and more and the quality of the workmanship is 10 out of 10. The home seemed to go up very quickly and anytime we had a question along the way, someone at Ownit Homes was very happy to help us. We are over the moon with our new home and highly recommend Ownit Homes to anyone wanting to build a home.

Attentive and listened to needs. Good service. Build house as per design and as advertised. Completed build on time (a little early).

This was our first build and we are so glad we did it through Ownit homes. We were let down by another company and the Ownit team swooped in and went out of their way to make our dream a reality. From beginning to end the process was simple and fun. We felt like all of the team at Ownit were approachable and supportive and fantastic communicators. Ownit really understands the financial and emotional investment it takes to make a home and we felt that they were with us all the way. They understood our budget and worked with us to make sure that it was maintained. A year on and we are still impressed by the quality of products and workmanship throughout. Would recommend to anyone looking to make their dreams for a beautiful high quality home come true!

We had a new home built by Ownit in 1990. We saw the beautiful show home they had in Beams Rd so asked for exactly the same for us (tiles, paint colours, everything). We were told this is the standard you can expect of your home, just tell us and it will be fixed. We were told it be started on a certain date and finished on a date. It all happened like clockwork. A wonderful experience for us. 2 minor faults afterwards which were soon fixed. Told a certain price and not $1 more did it cost. Some people expect to much I feel?

Smooth construction. Great staff who were helpful along the whole process. No major problems throughout the build and would be happy to recommend Ownit Homes to prospective builders.
