Ownit Homes

In 1979 we were living in Jindalee and had just purchased a lovely quarter acre corner block. We had a picture and some details of a house we wanted built which had bay windows,didn't have much luck until contacted Ownit homes. They took on the project and from plan development to finished house they were fantastic.. Disc ussions were with Ian and Supervisor at that ti Bill Holt Still Have the original plans and details

REPEAT CUSTOMER: Thrilled with my new Custom Built Ownit home! Having built with Ownit Homes 7 times now, I can confidently say they have outdone themselves this time around. They are one of the few builders who offer custom built homes and complete design flexibility. I came to Ownit with my own external design and ideas and they transformed it into a home that was better than I could have ever imagined. The entire process from start to finish was an absolute breeze. From the initial paperwork and design selections right through to construction and handover, the team held my hand every step of the way. Their communication was fantastic, with any issues sorted quickly, which kept me feeling completely comfortable throughout the build. I was so impressed by Ownit’s integrity—no hiccups, no shortcuts, just pure quality. My new home looks stunning and stands out on the street for all the right reasons. Ownit has exceeded all my expectations. Thank you to the whole team. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough for a custom-build and I'll definitely be back to build again!

Ownit is a builder who will not standby their product. We had a roofer inspect our roof and he identified a number of areas of substandard work. We have been experiencing leaks in the home since handover. Do not expect QBCC to assist in bringing the work into compliance nor enforce rectification works. I recommend seeking alternative builders who have higher quality control standards at any cost.

Working with Ownit Homes was a fantastic experience. From the very beginning their professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were unmatched. Our build was quite complex due a difficult block, but they worked with us to resolve some tough decisions, and turned our vision into a beautiful home that exceeded our expectations in every way. The team were communicative, reliable, and truly dedicated to quality. We couldn't be happier with the result!

We had a disgusting experience with this company. We lost thousands of dollars because ofunexceptable delays. This was accompanied with a poor quality Finnish.and poor attitude to addressing build quality.

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.

Poor Quality control, inefficient communication,messy management , they might be gd in the past but definitely not now,

The build process was made easy by the office team at Own It Homes. They were helpful and provided guidance through the design process. The actual build itself was good initially, the builder gave us regular updates on progress. However at the end of the build there was limited transparency in additional cost as well as our final inspection failing. This issue meant that we had to postpone our own trades, which would have been understandable, however we were not given the information and only found out by our initiative late the night before our concreter was meant to attend.

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.

Build 2020 Our second home build Double story home with roof terrace - with no landscaping Our contract was signed in Sept 2019. Sent for council approval over Christmas and construction started in late Jan 2020. House handover was Jul 2020 ( including some substantial wet days). From the moment we first walked through the display homes ( Mango Hill ) and met our Sales agent Kurt Clarke we were made to feel welcomed and freely given answers to any questions we had about the builder. We were offered all the information and details we needed with no pressure about a decision. We spent a lot of time researching builders and features we wanted in our home and our decision to build with Ownit homes was made a lot easier by the excellent customer service. We received quick responses to emails sent, flexibility to change plans and overall eagerness to build us an amazing home. We chose to build a reverse living home (we moved the kitchen and living upstairs) and added features such as laundry and garbage chutes. Ownit Homes were happy to look at all our requested design changes and quote accordingly all before we had signed with them. Once the construction started we were updated weekly from our site supervisor Bob. We also stayed actively involved in the process to ensure things were going to plan. Handover was on time. All items we had were noted down and amended in the weeks post moving in. After handover we had a water leak which was promptly attende

Ownit Homes did a wonderful job at building our new home in Manly, QLD. The actual build turned out really well, overall very happy with the quality. Our Construction Manager, Bob went above and beyond for us, so that we could move in as quickly a possible. He took us through the home for our inspection and always got back to us regarding any queries we had through the build process. We had searched for months for a suitable builder and display home we thought would be ok for our narrow lot. After visiting the Hamilton display home in Upper Kedron, we knew this was the house and builder for us, with such a stunning design for a narrow block. We changed the downstairs layout a little bit to get rid of the study / 5th bedroom and extend the laundry. They were very flexible in allowing us to customise the plan a little build to suit us better. The sales man, Archie, who unfortunately has since moved on was excellent, and was very knowledgeable. In fact he was the most genuine salesperson we came across in our search. The staff at head office are all very pleasant and approachable and take the time to get back to you, they make you feel like you're not just another client. I would go as far to say they go above and beyond to address any concerns, our build had its complexities and it was appreciated that management took an interest to ensure everything was done correctly and on time including excavation, soil testing, acoustic testing, council and building approval, new stormwater connection installation. engineering approval, etc. The only thing I would suggest to Ownit would be to include colour selections and electrical plans at contract stage instead of after and extensive research on what would be needed to build on the block, such as new stormwater connection, soil testing, etc, so that clients do not get a shock with increase in costs. This would make the overall build process more seamless would result in less admin for both builder and client with less contract variations. Overall, they are very affordable and do quality work. If you have a straight forward block to work with a solid build plan in mind, these guys would be 5 stars!

I've recently 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!
