Dechellis Homes

Over the past few months that we have been working with Dechellis to design and build our new home, we have found them excellent to deal with throughout. Communication is always timely and the planning process is very organised and thorough. All documentation has been very detailed and transparent. In particular, our building and design… Read more

consultant, David, has been extremely helpful and responsive as our building project evolved from its original concept.

Joe and I are at the linings stage. From the concrete footings, framework, brickwork and so many more we are so very happy with all stages. Tradies have been exceptional. Our site manager Matthew has been fantastic, patient and always answers our… Read more

calls the same day. We’ve made a couple of changes with no hiccups. Cannot be more happy, confident and pleased with how Dechellis have looked after us. So far we cannot fault this company.

Our first time to build a family home in SA. Coming from NSW, had not much understanding with building rules in SA. We chose Dechellis homes, because we loved their display home. You can tell the quality of build is great. During our dealing with Dechellis, I have to say they are great with their willingness to work with their clients, the… Read more

flexibility is really important to me which they deliver. Their staff are also very experienced, with lots of industry experience. What I also like to say to people who want to build, it’s important to do your own diligence, pay extra attention to details like : where am I going to place my aircon unit, water tank? Is there enough access space for the future landscaping work ? If these are not brought up for a discussion in the meeting with the consultant, then there may not be an easy solution when your plans are done. Would I build again with Dechellis in the future ? Very likely. Will come back for more review when we start the actual construction stage.

As first-time builders, our journey with Dechellis has been such a positive experience, and we truly couldn’t have done it without the incredible support from Etienne. Etienne has been exceptionally knowledgeable, helpful, and supportive throughout the entire process. His guidance, advice, and practical tips gave us so much confidence every step… Read more

of the way, and he was always willing to answer our questions and help us make informed decisions.

One thing we especially appreciated about Dechellis was how thorough and well-organised the selections stage was. We had the opportunity to meet all the suppliers personally, and at no point did we feel rushed into making decisions. Having the time and space to carefully consider our choices made the whole experience feel exciting rather than overwhelming, and gave us real confidence moving into the building stage.

We also had a wonderful experience during our final selections meeting with Rutu. She was thorough, patient, and incredibly helpful in answering our questions. We really appreciated how respectful she was of our decisions while still making every effort to assist us throughout the process.

We would absolutely build again with Dechellis, especially if we get to work with gems like Etienne and Rutu! ✨

We are building our dream family home with Dechellis Homes and the experience so far has been exceptional. From day one we were supported by the same consultant, Nick, which made the whole process feel consistent and stress-free. We came in with some initial drawings and a reasonably clear idea of what we were hoping to achieve. There were a… Read more

few things we wanted to tweak, and Nick worked with us the whole time to make those happen. He spent time working through different layout options to get us exactly what we wanted - even when it didn't seem possible at first.

We also had unexpected issues arise around trees, as well as boundary complications with a neighbouring property. Nick helped us navigate every step, always responded quickly and kept us informed the whole way through.

Although we had some delays (through no fault of Dechellis, but because of the trees and a law change since we purchased our block), Nick kept working with us and we're super happy to finally have planning approval. We highly recommend Dechellis to anyone wanting a builder who genuinely cares about getting it right and making their clients happy with the result.

We’re currently building our new home with Dechellis Homes and have had a great experience so far. From our first meeting through to contract signing and now selections, the team has been clear, professional, and easy to deal with. Our building consultant Nick has honestly been the highlight — he’s taken the time to walk us through every detail of… Read more

the contract, specifications, and progress payments, which made a big process feel so much less overwhelming. Communication has been consistent throughout, and the selections process itself has been well organised, with clear documentation for electrical, doors/hardware, and joinery inclusions. Highly recommend Dechellis Homes, and Nick in particular, to anyone considering a new build.

Building a new house is not easy, especially the planning part. Since I started the planning processes with Dechellis Homes, it has been much easier. Their front end customer service is top class. My contact there, David has been amazing. He goes out of his way to help me out. Similarly their selection process is really good. It takes time and… Read more

effort to meet all their suppliers but it is worth it. I learned a lot about the options and there was no pressure to make quick decisions. So far, Dechellis Homes is a pretty good organisation.

Dechillis Homes made the whole process from drawing of plans, through selections, a breeze. We are now more confident than ever that we will have the most cost effective house built with our involvement all the way through Show details

Would not recommend – Build was not well managed, site supervisor dodged questions whenever we needed information. Forgot about our carpet until we said something during final walk through. Before the build began we were given a $500 upgrade to write a good review, which was easy as the sales point of view is faultless. All trades were inadequate, electrical was wired… Read more

incorrectly, walls aren't straight, door frames are cracked, tiles aren't level, paint patches are seen where holes have been filled. We've now been in the house for a year and our 3 month defect period is over, things still aren't fixed from that such as our rangehood and now things are breaking/not working. We have grout down the drain of our shower, the exhaust fan in the bathroom is broken from being installed incorrectly. Air conditioner inlet wasn't sealed correctly which we've only found as it was time for the yearly maintenance. Holes on the outside of the house where pipes enter were never filled. The kitchen rangehood was never connected in the roof and we wouldn't have known if my husband didn't go in and connect it himself when being in the roof cavity. Post construction has honestly been so devastating to say the least after spending our savings and pouring our hearts into what was supposed to be our perfect home. Extremely disappointed in our choice to build with dechellis and would never recommend them or do it again.

Amazing and helpful consultants but then nothing – The building consultant went above and beyond to help with our many ideas, questions and plans even coming up with some of his own to help us decide where and what we wanted. But that’s where it ended once the building process began contact was no more, and every stage of the build there was some issue, mistake or someone stuffed up delaying every… Read more

step along the way as well course lots of thing that needed redoing, replacing or “forgotten about” I regret picking them

Very professional & efficient process. Dependable & knowledgeable personell, who covered beyond the basics. Were attended to by very nice staff, every step of the way, who extended themselves to make exercise as comfortable as possible. Show details

We've had a positive experience with Dechellis Homes so far. We're still in the early stages of our build and are completing our selections this week, but the process has been well organised and very thorough from the beginning.

through each step without feeling overwhelmed. It's made the experience feel straightforward and has given us confidence as we move into the next stage.

We're looking forward to seeing our build progress and would happily recommend Dechellis Homes based on our experience so far.

This is the fifth house we have built, so we are not new to the process. Friends and family recommended Dechellis Homes. Our sales consultant Etienne ensured that we got all our requirements specified and documented into our concept plans. Etienne had some good suggestions for things we hadn’t considered ourselves. We really liked Etienne’s attention to detail that will ensure that our new house will be built with all the inclusions we want. Show details

We built for the first time in 2014 & chose Dechellis Homes.

Nick Ilcesin from the Riverlea display office is amazing. He offered a personalised service from the moment we met him. His patience in answering our endless questions was remarkable. His knowledge allowed us to create something that flows to suit our needs. Communication was instant and any request wasn't dismissed, we met a few builders before… Read more

him who said NO to different ideas, he embraced them and made them work. Would highly recommend him to anyone who has no idea where to start.

Shortly Dechellis will start construction of our new home. The prebuild phase has been seamless with exception support from our Dechellis Sales Representative. The days with Dechellis Selections Team was also good and extremely well organised and informative. Looking forward to the build phase. Show details

Excited to build our forever home with Dechellis, fell in love with their designs. The selections team have been supportive in guiding us through the process of our first build. Show details

Our experience with Dechellis has been amazing. Throughout the design process they have been incredibly helpful and accomodating with modifying one of their designs to fit our unique block. We have never built before, and the selections process has been clear and simple despite us not having experience with this before. Many thanks to Julian and the rest of the team. Show details

We had a fantastic experience building with Dechellis Homes. Our design and building consultant, David, was exceptional. He was highly professional, knowledgeable, and completely transparent about costs and timelines from day one. The quality of their homes is outstanding. Every build is beautifully finished, stylish, and built to a very high standard. We highly recommend Dechellis Homes and David to anyone looking to build a beautiful new home. Show details

Hi Everyone. This is the third build we have commenced with Dechellis Homes. Every time we have decided to build, we walk into their display homes and find the one we want to build. We are currently just finishing selections on this build. The other two builds went pretty much without a hitch. We kept in contact with the building… Read more

supervisors. If we had any issue, we then organised a meeting at that build, went through the problem and got an answer and it was rectified. The build quality was excellent, in fact when we sold the first house the buyers had been looking for a Dechellis built house.
