“I’d like to thank you all at David Reid Homes for building us a great home for our family with the quality of structure and finishing that we were looking for…something above the standard builder. Your flexibility in a range of things from late additions/amendments, my supply of various fixtures, ongoing consultation through all stages & ease of approach to discuss and work through areas of concern really made the experience for us. We were surprised that we could have that level of input into the whole build process.:

Karen & Sam

“We chose to build with David Reid Homes because of their competitive price and quality fixtures that were included. We were able to build a home to suit our young family and our love for entertaining. We were given more than enough choices so that our home could reflect our personality and differ from others. We found Ben to be very professional, approachable and knowledgeable when it came to our house plan and what inclusions would work for our home.”

Ajay & Sanjanam

“I called David Reid Homes and they responded quickly to come and look at the job. I was so impressed as I had tried many other attempts to get this job done which came to no avail. They ere happy to work around my business hours taking the wall down on a weekend. They finished everything perfectly and offered honest professional advice where needed. I have done a lot of building and renovating and know the frustrations of a job half done or the waiting for the tradie to show up! I had no hitches with David Reid Homes and would highly recommend him for any job.”
