Client Testimonials

“After an exhaustive search for quality builder in bayside area, we settled on Patterson Homes for our duplex project. We took in our plans, had an initial meeting and from the get go, the entire team were extremely easy to deal with. Matthew provided recommendations for amendments to our plans, to help achieve our desired outcome. During the build process, we made multiple changes to the plans, nothing was an issue for the team at Patterson Homes. We received regular updates of our project via buildertrend app, and should an issue arise, we were quickly notified by site manager, and met on site to work through the issue. Our project was completed on time, and we could not be happier with the finish of both dwellings, absolutely top quality!! Extra special thanks to Nathan, our Site Manager, his attention to detail, and continual communication made the entire project seamless and stress free for us. Special thanks to Jorge, Tracy and Tarkan. Extremely high-quality build, great team of guys, the tradies on site, were always polite and happy to answer any questions. We are both extremely happy that we selected Patterson Homes to build our duplex project, we would not hesitate to recommend Patterson Home to anyone, who is looking to build high quality dwellings.”

“My husband and I were looking for a builder who could take our stunning design and bring it to life. We took a long time selecting the right builder for our project. Meeting with Matt and going through the display home my husband and I knew early on that Patterson Homes were the right fit for us. From the start of the build to completion we felt it was incredibly quick from our past experiences. Their attention to detail was incredible. Dealing with Tarkan and our site manager Nathan, they would suggest or advise ways to better an outcome in any situation. Having buildertrend to update us on progress and communication was a game changer. Having done developments in the past, this exceeded our expectations. Very professional and easy to use. Selections at the office was fun and made easy with the help of Brooke at Marlo Interiors. As we sold off the plan, Patterson were very accomodating to let the purchasers become involved with their home selections. This was facilitated by Jorge in the office. Many emails later and the end result was spot on! The trades that Patterson work with, we were also very impressed with. Communication was easy if we needed them and they were all very keen to bring our vision to life. Often suggesting different locations of lighting, or slight changes of handle placements or tapware. Not huge changes, just slight. All of these 1percenters make up a big piece of the overall pie at the end. Thank you also to Tracy for your advice and completion of documents earlier and later on in the process. This is my gold star review!! If we develop again we would certainly build through Patterson homes! What a team! We’re so thrilled with our home and the quality of it. Thank you can’t be said enough. Thank you to all of their team that we worked with over the last year! We highly recommend working with Patterson Homes.”

All within budget and completed 3 months ahead of schedule. Our family is extremely happy with the build and the attention to detail they have shown on this project. Many thanks to the team at Patterson Homes. “

“Hi Patterson Homes team 😊 It’s been 3 months since you handed over the keys to our beautiful homes, and we still can’t believe our family dream has come true. We’re very grateful for your guidance, hard work, and friendliness throughout this milestone for our family. Our “family project” has attracted the interest of many friends and neighbors, and we’re thrilled that we were able to outmaneuver the current housing market to build top-quality homes for our three children on their childhood home site. Thanks again to all your staff for making this possible.”
