I am a tradesman and contractor to Kialla Homes and have been for some time now. When display homes are built a higher standard is displayed to potential customers and then when we are contracted to build these homes we are forced to use low grade materials and in most cases second grade to cut costs . My boss also works for a number of other builders and this is the only one that insists on using poor quality products and materials and in some cases second hand . In my opinion go with another builder. Most home owners that we meet are very dissatisfied with their quality and professionalism. Many

From the moment we walked into the display house to the completion of the build it was a positive experience. The assistance we had in planning this house was outstanding, as was the interaction with Kialla staff throughout the building process. The construction of the house was completed within the expected timeframe, and the quality of the building was exceptional. If you want a quality house built on time I would highly recommend Kialla.

I cannot give any star rating on this business, as I have not used them. However I did alot of research into purchasing our home and one thing I found very helpful was the reviews. I noticed that this Company had many bad reviews. I decided to use an alternative Company to build our home and was very happy with the outcome. I felt this would be good feedback for the Company. We have moved into our new home now and all is good.

Do not use this Company. We built a home with this Company and found it to be extremely difficult dealing with their staff. Never return phone calls, always had excuses, did not want to help in any way at all. Now we are finally in our home and we are having all sorts of warranty issues. Roof tiles are broken , and leaking, now we have water damage. The finish of the house is nothing like the display home. They have used the cheapest builders range of appliances which are deteriorating already. We don't feel comfortable living in this home . We are first home buyers and had spent years saving

We built our Kialla home over 12 years ago, and we still loved it right up until we just recently sold. We would definitely build with Kialla Homes again. Their quality and attention to detail is outstanding!
