Sunstate Homes

Our first build and Sunstate took us onto a journey which was bumpy at times but successful:). Step one was to design a custom home and agree plans. Then timelines were established. House was built during the Covid period, building materials shortages -common at that time. Sunstate (Amir & Mehdi and the team did a great work in securing all materials to start on time and continue in line with agreed timeline. We had a number of variations, which were actioned by the Sunstate team during the construction, which is appreciated. Post construction service is good. Overall, Sunstate Homes Team is reliable and committed to deliver projects on time and keep clients happy.

Wonderful builder with very high standards A good friend of mine had built a house in 2014, and I was always fascinated by the quality, style and the finishes of the house. The home felt enchanted. Although my friend spoke very highly of the builder, he remained a mystery to me until I bought a block of land and decided to build a house. I had always dreamt of building a house designed, drawn and (hopefully) perfected by me. Despite my career not being architecture, it had stayed by hobby for my entire life. In fact, despite my amateurism, I had helped friends in the past with the design of their homes. By the time the design phase of my new home was arriving, I had already visited many display homes in Brisbane, most of which were done by very popular builders. These houses looked gorgeous, but I had doubts about the practicality. I felt I was paying extra for features I either did not need or did not care for in a house. The name of my friend’s builder was on still on the table, especially after my friend’s high regard for this builder not diminishing in the slightest in the years since the project’s completion. In the process of buying the land in 2017, my friend introduced me to the builder. I wanted to get an opinion from the owner of this building company, Sunstate Homes, Amir. He spent a considerable amount of time at the land with me, explaining the pros and cons of the position of the land with regards to construction of the house. My mind was overloaded at the time with hundreds of questions and Amir, one by one answered all of them in detail during a number of meetings, patiently. I had very important basic request; the house had to be of my own plan, to which Amir happily agreed to. At no point during my interactions with Amir, did he pressure me into signing a contract. I had about 7 or 8 meetings with Amir, perfecting and fine tuning the plan at his office, each one of which took at least about 90 minutes out of his time. Once the plan had been finalised, we sealed the deal and signed the contract with Sunstate Homes in 2017 with plans for construction to begin in January 2018. My wife and I would have met Amir at the very least once a week, discussing each and every aspect of our soon to be home. These meetings proved to us that Amir’s depth of knowledge in construction was very impressive and that Amir could very calmly advise us on how to create every desired feature in a cost effective manner. Sometimes when I requested additional finishes, he often warn that these might not be entirely necessary. One of Amir’s top priorities was to stay as close to the original budget as possible, while simultaneously including the meaningful changes for the home. I am so pleased I was able to include my entire house plan and selected finishes and materials into the design of the house. They were always the things I wished to be included. There were some last minute changes inside the house, which Amir mostly accepted without complaint. The entirety of the process was well documented and managed exactly as planned. Amir was always within reach and at no point did I have difficulty contacting him. He was always available at the new Sunstate Homes office in Milton. The end product? The house was completed well within the contracted time, with the keys being handed in 3 weeks early. Every detail, every finish, every corner, edge and tile were immaculately placed as per the original design and the plan. We were ecstatic with the project’s final outcome, there was absolutely nothing to be criticised. Amir, Jill, Leila and their wonderful team cannot receive enough thanks from us for how we feel about this house, which we now call a home. It has been 7 months since we moved in, and only few minor flaws have revealed themselves, all of which Amir attended to and solved promptly. If, hypothetically, we were to build another house, Amir would no doubt be the number one option that we would consider. Sunstate Homes does not just build houses, it does so very smoothly, efficiently, all the while keeping its incredibly satisfied customers aware of the process and staying well within budget, and comfortably finishing within the timeframe.

I first met with the owner of Sunstate Homes in 2016 when we decided that we would like to build a home for my parents who were moving to Australia. After looking at several other builders in Brisbane we felt that we were going to have a better experience with Sunstate Homes. That proved to be correct. My parents arrived in Australia just as the building was about to commence and we moved them into their new home in July 2018. We are so pleased with the home that they designed and built for us, that we are now looking to build our own home with them later this year. We would be very pleased to recommend Sunstate Homes to our friends, indeed anyone contemplating building a new home in Brisbane.

Sunstate Homes did an excellent job building our home in Kenmore. Our house was ready 2.5 weeks ahead of schedule and to a very high standard. My husband and I spend a tremendous amount of time researching established builders in the area. Overall we felt that Sunstate Homes came up tops in most of our investigations. Fortunately our efforts paid off eventually. We had no problems at all with Sunstate. All the staff we worked with at Sunstate Homes were extremely helpful and easy to deal with. We kept out of their way but they kept us updated with the progress regularly. They were very accommodating whenever we asked to view the house. Our line of communication was mainly with the owner itself and our emails and inquiries were answered immediately. We would highly recommend Sunstate Homes to anyone trying to build a new house.

We built with Sunstate and didn't have any problems at all. We actually really enjoyed the experience. The quality of our home is excellent and they were really nice to us during the build period. We chose the fixed price contract and they managed to keep us within our budget. We did ask for a few extra things and made a couple of changes but they did not charge us any extra fee for making the changes. Just the cost of the extras which were pretty reasonable. The HIA Contract that we used says that the builder can charge $300 for each variation but we were not charged anything at all. I suppose you get what you pay for. Bigger builders might have been cheaper at the beginning but we would have paid for it during the construction. We found Sunstate Homes a very honest company. Over all we were very happy and would recommend them to anyone who wants a hassle free build.

This is our second home with Sunstate Homes and it's been good experiences on both occassions. Our second home which is being reviewed is privately designed. We had lots of specifications and Sunstate Homes was able to accomodate that in the design. It was easy to communicate with the company director regarding issues we had. Things don't always go perfectly when you are building but there was always room to correct mistakes. We were satisfied with the quality of the workmanship, even after moving in, we still had the chance to get the builder to fix anything that wasn't working. Overall great experience.

Although we built with Sunstate Homes 2 years ago, when I was asked to provide a testimonial I was more than happy to do so. Both myself and my friend built with Sunstate Homes and we have nothing but praise for this company. It is very hard to find any fault with either the product they built or the service during and after the construction. The construction of the home could not be smoother and the final quality of our home is exceptional. The owner, Amir, was in contact with us regularly and responded to our queries immediately. Variation costs were very reasonable and there was no pressure on us to make any variations to the standard. The standard selection is of a very high quality and we had many choices to choose from. The help we received from Jill during our colour selection made the process stress free and really enjoyable. She is incredible. The house was handed over to us 19 days ahead of schedule. Walking into our beautiful home for the handover with a massive bunch of flowers on the benchtop is unforgettable. And now after almost 2 years it still looks as the first day we were given our keys. We highly recommend Sunstate Homes for anyone who is contemplating to build a new home. They are unbeatable.

After months of being messed around by a large project builders, one of my husband's work colleagues suggested we try Sunstate Homes. We had a steep block and Metricon was suggesting some ridiculous plans that just did not fit our block. We wanted a split level that took advantage of the slope and the rear views. They wanted us to cut the block with 2.5 meter retaining walls so that they could fit their house on it. We felt very comfortable right from the beginning with Sunstate. They advised us against leveling our block and instead showed us a couple of examples of homes they had built on sloping block. They looked like exactly what we wanted in the first place. They designed a new home for us based on their Como floor plan which eliminated all the retaining walls that was suggested by the other builder. The build process was without any problems and we had regular communication with the owner. Our house was built to budget and 2 weeks ahead of schedule. The quality is first class and cannot be faulted. We will definitely use them again. Very highly recommended

We recently had Sunstate Homes design and construct our new family home on a small lot in Red Hill. Couldn't be happier with the service and quality of the construction and finishes. Highly recommended.
