Vogue Homes - Home Builders Sydney

The team at Vogue have been amazing with our first home build! We have received genuine support, guidance and attentive care from Elly who has helped to walk us through each step to make this confusing process so much easier. We really appreciate the time and effort she provides in answering questions, chasing up queries and quick responses. Couldn't ask for a better service especially for our first build!

Definitely one of the best value, and high quality home builders in Sydney. Amazing attention to detail (owners are actively involved), and exceptional value with most premium fittings as standard. Highly recommend these guys for knock down rebuild, and custom homes build projects in Sydney.

Vogue Homes built our duplex. It was a big and complicated job (at least for my wife and I) but Vogue Homes were very good at supporting us all the way along. We were very, very happy with the final result and the after sale service has been good too. I recommend them

So far my husband I are satisfied clients with the service that Vogue homes has given us. From the very start of our transaction they had been very accomodating to our requests and changes to the design of our chosen house. Transparent with the cost and inclusions. There were several changes that we made with the design (structural) and we had our façade customised to our personal preference/design. This is a big plus for us when we selected our builder because other builders doesn’t allow you to change their design structurally. It is what it is for them, i mean you have to deal with it even though you are frustrated of how it looks. But Vogue is different, they were welcoming, open and patient to any queries, changes and suggestions regarding the design of our house. We are transacting with Girgis Sirgyous and we couldn’t be happier of how he helped us achieve the design that we want but still working within our budget. Throughout the process, he assisted us, did not rush us and did not fail to ask us if we are happy with the design that we chose. As first home buyers, this house is special and even though it’s just in low-median range as to cost but we feel that Vogue treats this project as flagship. We are looking forward for Vogue homes to build our first family home here in Australia.

Vogue Homes delivered exceptional quality and value for money with the new home we built with them. This was our first brand new home and from the day one they guided us very well in all the stages. During the colour selection, appliance selection and electrical selection stages, they were very friendly and honest. All the pricings were transparent from the beginning and they provided quality selections as standard inclusions. Although we had couple of small issues, they fixed them within the maintenance period promptly.

From the first meeting with Nathan in Sales at Vogue Homes, we knew we were in safe hands. His knowledge, expertise and willingness to support us in our planning stage was exceptional - this was so important to us. Graet advice provided and he provides with the time spent with us talking through ideas and the process.

Kathleen, Vogue Homes colour consultant, was also just as accommodating and really knew her products, which builds confidence and guided us in what we were choosing.

Michael the owner, treats you like your are an old family friend, and always willing to help as well.

Customer service is so important and Vogue homes were excellent and very engaging.

Overall I was very happy with my build and I think I was realistic going into this project and aware that there would be issues that would arise throughout the course of the build, all of which were addressed. Would I build with Vogue Homes again? Yes.

Why did we choose Vogue Homes?
We chose Vogue Homes because of their size, quality and ability to customise the plans. We didn’t want to be a small fish with a large project builder and equally didn’t want to build with a small unknown builder that could fold overnight and never be able to claim on their insurance if need be. While there are some shortcomings with a small/medium size builder (town planning / deep knowledge of every Sydney council and their bureaucracies), I think this was outweighed by easily being able to contact someone if I needed to resolve an issue, get an update or just check in. I always felt like my business was valued.

Designing the plans
I loved that we had flexibility to work with the draftsperson to create our house. We took the ground floor and top floor of duplex plans they had and then vastly reworked the inertia. My only comment here is that it would have been beneficial to have a planning meeting with the draftsperson and sales to sketch out and ensure the costs aren’t getting carried away. Overall we were very happy with the amount of customization we were able to achieve.

Site Managers
Our site managers were great and were always contactable – or would return my calls within a reasonable timeframe. I have heard so many nightmare stories about site managers leaving and jobs getting put on hold. We had 3 different site managers (one was an interim existing employee), but our build was never impacted. Vogue obviously have good project management systems in place.

Timeframe
Our build was completed within 10 months from laying the slab, which was within the contract timeframe of 10-12 months.
We had delays with council approval and Vogue (as the project builder) manage the DA process, so I became involved to sort out some issues. There was some miscommunication from the case officer at the council, so its hard to know how this would have been dealt with by another builder (would depend on their in-house town planning experience, processes etc). At least we had constant contact with Vogue and I was able to deal with the council directly and resolved a storm water issue that was holding it up.
The 2 months we gained during building made up for time lost in the DA process, so it evened out in the end.

Selections
When looked through Vogue display homes compared to other ‘known’ project builders display homes we felt a big difference in quality and style.

I loved that when we were designing the kitchen and selecting tiles etc, that this was done through local suppliers who are family run businesses. The kitchen design process was a standout for me and Franco was very knowledgeable. It was also good to meet as his factory and see the process and how they custom build the cabinets. We didn’t get a tour, but we had a good sticky beak.

The only thing I wished I had upgraded was the paint. The standard is trade matt finish and it’s very hard to keep clean with 3 young kids. I wish I had paid closer attention and asked if I could upgrade to a wash n wear low sheen paint as we’ll have to repaint soon. For those with young kids I think the upgrade would be worth it.

Wrap up
We’ve been in our house for 18 months now and will happily recommend Vogue Homes.

Love the designs Vogue Homes have, after a discussion with the Staff i found they are extremely helpful. I will be back, i love the designs and flexibility

When looking at engaging the services of any company it was really important for me to find someone I could trust and rely on, especially when it came to such a big investment of time and money.
Dealing with Vogue has been AMAZING! Both Nathan & Girgis have been so flexible when it came to the Design and went over and above, communicating and keeping me informed throughout the whole process.
When choosing a builder I really wanted a company that would pride themselves on amazing Service and Quality finishes and they have not disappointed.

Keep up the great work guys!

I would certainly build with Vogue again. I can not express how great they were. They were so flexible with their designs, they listen to what you want and they make it work. From day 1 you are treated like a member of the Vogue Family, I found this so important, every body in the Vogue team knows you. The team took away any stress and made it really easy and smooth for us to build our dream home. The other outstanding factor is their maintenance team, they follow
up on all any repairs well after the build is complete, its just so reassuring to have that service. Vogue are the Best, Please save yourself time and money, you will not be disappointed,

We built our long term family home with Vogue. They were honest with me from the start and transparent with their pricing. They were really flexible with our design choices and made it very easy for us to choose options and accommodated several variations.
I would certainly build with Vogue Homes again and I have recommended a number of my friends and family to build with them.

Vogue were great from start to finish, very helpful staff from the office to the build site along with being a quality build within the timeframe I was informed of prior to using them, I would suggest anyone chat with them when looking for a new home builder.

Very welcoming staff, ready to assist, very informative will definitely return when I am ready to build
