Dennis Family Homes

We have an Executive house erected by Dennis Family Homes. A very smiley company until you show the faults. Apart from the wrong coloured mortar, the sudden change from the fixtures shown in the original contract, poor workmanship all round (which luckily as a home handyman I could, but should not have, fixed) and a woeful job of tiling, we had a major issue with the tiled roof. Leaks, poorly constructed valleys, broken and different coloured tiles were all addressed unsuccessfully by an aging maintenance man (not his fault and he did try). Tried dealing with the roofing company with not much joy from a large company with the same arrogance as DFH. When the ridge caps failed after 8 years the response stiff bikies

Great experience with Dennis Family HomesIt's now 12 months since handover on our Hartley. The build process was very smooth and our special requests were handled very professionally. Our site supervisor was always available and hands-on with the build. We were also able to communicate directly with sub contractors to make small variations on electrical and tiling. The after sales service has been excellent. Highly recommend Dennis Family in Melbourne.

Building the Marsden in a Melbourne eastern suburb with Dennis Family Homes has been a great experience. Construction timeline was as planned, the site manager was always approachable and managed the work professionally. Most importantly, for any issues we had post hand over, DFH would manage work orders efficiently and in a timely manner and got those issues fixed either through their own maintenance teams or their tradesmen network. They always responded appropriately; going with DFH means that you have eliminated your risk of facing an unresponsive builder.

Poor quality work, no supervision, masses of water being aloud to pool around home will probably result in cracked slab, no drainage at all after being told drainage would be done, best advice is to never go with DFH if you want a nice home builtHappy to discuss these issues, please send us your contact details, we have had no response so far after contacting you we still haven’t heard anything from DFH please send me a contact I will call you as soon as I receive your details I will be uploading some new photos soon windows that looks like ski jumps skirtings what are so bad DFH hat to remove them all after painting

Built an Executive home in western Victoria with them in 2002 - Raised issues with supervisor after tiles went on roof that roof trusses appeared to be sagging/cracking but was basically ignored. Forced to commence legal action to get home completed and numerous problems fixed.We now find that roof has to be replaced for structural and safety reasons at cost of $32,000+ and they have wiped their hands of it stating that as owners have a due care to maintain their homes they respectfully suggest that we ask our insurance company to review the matter" Insurance company has already declined as they do not cover shoddy workmanship.Two points here - We are supposed to maintain the house - Yes but shoddy workmanship in the roof that cannot be seen? I think most people (except this mob) would agree that a roof should last a little longer than 13 years before it has to be replaced.Lastly

We have moved in for 4 months. No issue so far. Thank to Adam - sales counsultant, Greg - site manager and supporting team, our project was delivered up to our expectation. Everyone was very helpful, responsive and professional. Also our project was postponed for 2 years due to planning permit required, DFH kept our cost unchanged in a good faith.

If you want to disturb your future permanent neighbour and destroy your relationship with them before you move to your new house then ask Dennis Family to start building for you. Similar thing happened to me. I am the owner of a block of land in Berwick and Dennis Family is building next to my block. They have started driving trucks or very heavy vehicles through my nature strip, footpath, and my block and literally destroyed everything. Now they made it a permanent path for their vehicles which enters their construction site. My block pegs are gone and the block looks like a mud track. One of the footpath slab are pressed and the slab joints became uneven. 2 of the lawnmowers refused to do the job because of the destroyed surface and deep tires tracks. My builder asking for additional charges because of the missing pegs which indicate the boundary. I will take further action if the damage won't be fixed. This is very very frustrating and inconvenient with delays to my own house construction. Totally unprofessional people.

Terrible build quality walls have lumps in them. Walls are not level squeaky floor wavy skirts. Evaporative cooling is very loud when on and vents for heater aswell terribly placed in ceiling. Can hear water running through pipes. No insulation in interior walls so you can hear everything.

bad workmanship, smoking inside site once painting was done, flooding for months, fires lit outside, damaged joinery, animals on property harassed, trees on property damaged, un-level doors and handles, poor communication, lack of experience and no supervision.Happy to discuss these problems ,please send us your contact details, we have had no response after contacting you so far

Don't build with dennis family, you will regret it. Warranty means nothing to them. My stormwater pipe was completely squash and they refused to fix it even though i have proof it was happened during construction. It just because i found it out after handover, they put all the blamed on me and refused to fix it.
