Adenbrook homes
Adenbrook Homes was founded in 2001. They build across Australia’s East-coast including Greater Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. Their business model is that they’re a collection of local builders united under a national brand. They specialise in single and double-storey homes with some acreage and narrow lot options. But are Adenbrook Homes the right builder for your dream home?
In our Builder Review, we’re going to look at what real customers are saying about Adenbrook homes. Both the great and not so great. Here’s our top pros and cons we’ve gathered from what people have said online:
Pros:
- Good at sticking to a budget
- Usually finish their projects in a timely manner, even during the pandemic
- Extensive range of designs if you’re looking for single or double-storey homes.
Cons:
- Poor communication, not only with customers but within the company itself.
- Issues with handovers. Properties don’t meet up with homeowners expectations.
- A few of their branches have gone bust.
- Not many display homes in Queensland.
Adenbrook Homes Reviews:
Let’s have a look at what real customers are saying about their building experience with Adenbrook homes. Their rating on Productreview.com.au is 4.4 from 239 reviews. For the Brisbane branch, the score 3.7 from 19 reviews, which isn’t a spectacular score, but it’s also a small sample size.
To Adenbrook Homes credit, they do reply to reviews, both positive and negative.
Positive reviews:
There are customers who are extremely happy with their new house and would definitely recommend Adenbrook homes. Like most positive reviews, customers who had a good experience with Adenbrook homes had a smooth building process, had exceptional customer service. In this review, the customer was impressed with the Adenbrook team and the build was finished ahead of schedule.
The North Brisbane branch only has five reviews but they’re extremely positive and highly recommend Adenbrook Homes. The below reviewer says they felt nothing was too much trouble for the Adenbrook team, and their new home has gotten praise from others.
Negative Reviews:
Let’s have a look at what customers didn’t like about building with Adenbrook homes. As with a lot of builders, we’ve found scores vary depending on the location. For example, the Gold Coast branch has 5 stars from 11 reviews, while the Greater Brisbane location has a less flattering 3.7 from 19 reviews.
From the bad reviews we’ve read, there have been a few reoccurring issues. One of these is a few clients complaining of poor communication, both with head office and the site supervisor. Good, open communication is critical to a good relationship with your builder which, in turn, is critical to the whole process going well.
In the following review, the customer mentions the franchise owner dissolved towards the end of the build. They feel like the job was rushed because of this and this shows in the final product.
Leading on from the poor communication, the negative reviews mention a lack of satisfaction about the lack of quality workmanship Poor final product and build quality. Issues post-handover, including Adenbrook being unresponsive to outright refusing to fix flaws.
