Some Special Words

We are beyond thrilled with our new home, and thankful for the amazing job the Ballarat Custom Home team have done.


The build with Ballarat Custom Homes team was a great experience. From start to finish nothing was too much trouble. They made the whole building process special, easy and fun. The service and quality of build they provide, we feel cannot be matched. We do not hesitate in recommending them to build your dream home, you couldn’t get any better!

A couple of very happy customers
JODIE AND ROD SEERS
Building with the team at Ballarat Custom Homes was an amazing experience.

The professionalism, attention to detail and expertise of Paul and the team was second to none, guiding us through the entire process from architectural designs to interior designs and finally the build.

The team managed everything during the build as if it was their own house and we could not be happier with the dream home we now have.

Thank you, Ballarat Custom Homes, you guys rock!
REBECCA AND DAMIAN LUBEEK
From our first meeting, thru to handover the whole process was seamless. All our building criteria was encapsulated into creating our dream home which came within budget. The entire team who worked on our house were professional and there was not one person we came in contact with during the build that did not seem proud to be building a quality Ballarat Custom Home. From start to finish nothing was too hard and and the attention to detail was brilliant. David was always available and acted promptly to answer any questions or concerns we had. Once our design was completed and the contract price agreed there were no hidden variations. We had complete confidence in Ballarat Custom Homes and went overseas for 4 months during the construction returning to a near complete home. The quality of our house is far superior to any other builder we have seen in the Ballarat region and we would highly recommend Ballarat Custom Homes.
TERRY AND ANDREA HOLMES, GALA CLOSE BROWN HILL
Following discussion with local people in Ballarat and Buninyong, my sister and I chose to build our new houses through Ballarat Custom Homes. From the moment my sister phoned to make an appointment and David Gordon answered the phone himself, we were sure we’d made the right decision. We have finished up with two beautifully built houses, but the real pleasure came throughout the build from the men who worked on our houses, without fail polite, cheerful, helpful as well as skilled and well-trained. We were welcomed each time we visited. We were consulted on every aspect of the fittings and finishes we chose. We were especially delighted by the caring and helpful attitude of the project manager, Paul. Even after we moved in, he came to see us whenever we had a problem, and often he solved the problems on the spot. You won’t do better than put your dream home in the hands of Ballarat Custom Homes.
ROBYN WHITELEY AND FELICITY WOOLLEY
Building our dream home, we could not have been in safer hands with David, Paul, Cassie and the whole team. We had a lot of complexity to our project, but nothing was too difficult and we were actively involved in every decision throughout the process. Communication was excellent from our very first meeting to the final handover and any questions we had were answered straight away. David and Paul bring a wealth of experience and practical knowledge and were genuine collaborators with us at each stage. The final result is one of beauty and outstanding quality that we simply love calling home.
JACKI WHITWELL
So impressed with BCH level of experience, processes, communication, wonderful tradesmen, and their attention to detail.

We absolutely love our new home!

Thanks to all the team at BCH.
NATHAN AND TRACEY
When we decided to build our dream home, we had two big boxes to tick. We wanted a quality builder and we wanted it to be as passive as possible as we were building off grid. We approached Ballarat Custom Homes based on a recommendation. The whole team at BCH were professional, friendly, and approachable. We found the Design to Construct service is the way to go! David was with us during the consultations with the Architect and we were able to collaboratively discuss our project and improvise where needed to get the design we were happy with whilst being mindful of our budget. We are absolutely delighted with our home! An architecturally designed, quality built, off grid, modern country home. We would highly recommend Ballarat Custom Homes.
PAUL AND BRENDA OOSTENDORP
We recently built our home with Ballarat Custom Homes and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, the team were great to deal with. Their communication was excellent, and having visibility from everything online — from selections to timelines — made the whole process much easier to follow and stay on top of. The quality of the finishes is outstanding, and we’ve had so many compliments already. The patience and support Paul and the team provided was very much appreciated. We’re so grateful to have worked with such a professional, friendly, and reliable builder, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering building their dream home.
JAMES & ANNA EDMENDS
The vision for our home meant we required custom plans and design. Paul and his team at BCH were heavily involved in this process and all stages of our build. This meant the outcome at the end was precisely as we had wanted. If ever there was a query or concern, Paul or one his team members were on the phone to discuss and resolve this. Nothing was too much trouble.

Thanks for the terrific result, we are loving our new home!
STEVE & LAUREN
The process from start to finish working with Paul, Shelley and the team from Ballarat Custom Homes is second to none. The professionalism and attention to detail throughout our build was amazing. Honesty and communication is something we really wanted when we began the process of building our dream home and they showed this from the get go. From the designing process to the experience at Bigs plans in Melbourne is why Ballarat Custom Homes is a multi-award winning builder.

We can’t thank Paul, Shelley and the team enough!
