”Family Home has just completed a large-scale renovation of our three storey, five bedroom home in Bellevue Hill including two new decks, enclosing a balcony to create a new bathroom and walk-in robe and a new garage and fully self-contained home office/apartment beneath.

The quality of the work throughout the process was outstanding and the project was on schedule and on budget. As a designer and builder, Roman was able to accommodate many changes we wanted along the way with consummate ease. His team are professional, personable, punctual, and highly skilled. The result is nothing short of extraordinary and our stunning home has been completely reimagined for the 21st century. Can't recommend Family Homes enough.

”We renovated our federation house with Family homes in 2023 and would recommend them for any build work.

We decided to go with Family homes as they do the whole process from design, DA submission and the actual build. The benefit of this is that it avoids any conflicts between designer and builder later on. Also Family homes was able to provide accurate cost estimates early on in the process. During the build they have a very good online tool that tracks all progress and variations, so its clear for all parties.

We are living in our new house now for a year and very happy with the result. So if you are thinking of renovating, talk to these guys. It makes the renovations a good experience.

”Family homes recently completed our second story addition.

It was a large job and the whole progress went very smoothly thanks to a very experienced team with high standards in work & attitude (this extended to the trades they use as well). Great communication with our building manager Paul, Roman & Marie and the rest of the team really made a huge difference, including finishing ahead of schedule and always answering queries & changes without hassle.

This was our second project with family homes & we wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
Thanks to the whole team.

”Hi Roman and the Family Home team,

Just wanted to drop a message to say that our family is very grateful for helping us build our family home. We are overall really happy with the way everything has come together. The team was great to deal with and I really appreciated your integrity and professionalism throughout the entire process from planning, design through to construction.

I am really glad to have chosen Family Homes.

Many blessings,

”Hi Roman and the Family Home team, Worked with Family Home Designers and builders to extend our home (by adding a second storey) and create our dream home. Just completed our project and we could not be happier with the outcome. Throughout the process they kept us informed and updated. We had a great foreman and the use of a great online platform allowed us to have regular conversations and be on top of the work. We lived in the home whilst construction was happening and this was possible with the professionalism of the builders and any sub contractors they used. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone, honestly been a great experience.

”We engaged Family Homes last year to help build a ground floor extension as well as a carport.

We truly enjoyed our renovation experience with Family Homes. Being first time renovators, we relied heavily on Family Homes to take us through the design, DA approval and building process. Throughout this process where unexpected issues arose – be it around dealing with council or the build, Roman and the team were willing and able to think out of the box to attend and rectify those issues, so the project can continue to move ahead. We were also impressed with their diligence around paperwork and in providing regular, comprehensive status updates. They also accommodated our staged approach to the build which was very helpful when budgets were uncertain. Family Homes is truly a one stop shop, providing a seamless experience from design to the final product.

We’ve been in this house for more than a year now and couldn’t be happier with the quality of the build. Special shout out to Roman, Kevin, Marie, Paul, Shane and Walter for a terrific experience. We won’t hesitate to use them again!

”Greetings Roman,

Thank you so much for your enquiry. Yes our new renovations are working very well for us all a year on.

The young family members who now live in the studio apartment are enjoying life there immensely. They have a new baby, and we all appreciate being close enough to support, while separate enough for everyone’s privacy, without any stress. Also their friends are full of praise for the lovely apartment, kitchen etc. The soundproofing is working well.

Particularly for me, having the laundry so convenient and upstairs has been a blessing also.

Warmest regards,

Stacy - West Pymble

”When looking to perform a major renovation on our 23-year-old home, we were daunted by the huge task ahead of us. Of course, we had watched countless episodes of Grand Designs and The Block, so were mindful of how easy it was for budgets and timelines blow out.

We chose Family Homes as they had built our original home. It was sound and of good quality, so we knew their standard of work was high, and felt we could trust them. They were not the cheapest, but the end result has turned out even better than we could have imagined. The project ran smoothly, and there were always trades working away on our property whenever I turned up, which was regularly. Family Homes kept us in the loop at all times, even when we had to make a trip overseas, and even stepped in to coordinate some of our deliveries when we weren’t there. Our building supervisor was invaluable, and their carpenter could often be found working quite late and even on weekends, to ensure deadlines were met.

Often their trades would say to me, that they’d worked on our original home 23 years ago. Given the home has been so sound, it was good to know we had the same people working on it. It says a lot about Family Homes too, for having such a steadfast team.

We got back into our property on time, actually a little earlier than we thought possible. We would recommend Family Homes to anyone.

”We were very impressed with the professional manner with which you conducted all business.

We went into the planning stage with some trepidation, because you hear so many horror stories. However we soon became confident that we had chosen the right builder. The delivery of materials and arrival of the various tradesmen on time is a credit to your organizational skills and the various suggestions you made during the construction were greatly appreciated. The manner in which you kept the site tidy during construction was commented on favourably by even our neighbours.

We wish Family Homes a prosperous future and please use this letter as a reference to gain future projects.

”We think that there were three major factors which made our project so successful:
Excellent design, high quality tradesmanship, and the most important of all – your talent, skill and personal involvement in supervising the work.

”Also a big thank you to Neil whose professional skills were only exceeded by his gentleness and thoughtfulness when dealing with my parents.

Bruce & Debbie Curtis - Balgowlah

”Thank you for your excellent service – from the first tentative phone enquiry to the finished job.
We were majorly impressed by the high level of communication skills and professional attitude shown by yourself and all your tradies. It quickly became obvious to us that good staff training, work procedures and systems, as well as a high level of quality workmanship are a few of the key attributes to the way Family Homes conduct their jobs.

The boys seem to go out of their way to keep our home as clean and liveable as possible, with materials being stowed in a manner that took into account us living on site, as well as the preservation of our landscaping and garden.

We have no doubt that the honesty and integrity you’ve shown, combined with your great design skills and quality workmanship will ensure Family Homes continue to be a great company for many years to come.

”I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the opportunity to have worked so closely with you and your company over the past few years.

I really enjoyed my time with Family Home and I’m sure we will cross paths in the future. Working as a builder over the past few weeks has been such a great new chapter in my career but also made me realise that you don’t get the acknowledgements you deserve. You are such a pleasure to deal with and are always very professional and accommodating to the clients and workers. I hope that from all I have learned watching you over the years I can do the same.

You are a great role model and just wanted to show my appreciation. I hope you would be very proud of all you have achieved.

Rob Bray - Bray Building

”Thank you for your help with our project. We all [Girls included] are extremely pleased with the results.

The quality of finish is perfect; Material choice, spot on; Structural integrity could not be better. Family Homes input with design and suggestions, proven to be ‘A‘ plus! Family Home’s personnel and crew are a tremendous and obliging bunch of people who are masters at what they do.

And it was finished before Christmas! We have passed on several recommendations already; but we will drop in to say thanks in the not too distant future. In appreciation; Dyan, Ray, Annalise and Lauren.
