A well named company, once you sign with them for a new home build and pay your deposit, they ESCAPE to who knows where? My son is caught up with them, they managed to pour a home slab in 12 months in Pinacle Estate Delacombe. Meanwhile houses surrounding his block have been started and completed. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST if you want a house constructed. THEY DON'T COMMUNICATE OR BUILD. Disgraceful attitude.

Experience was great up until signing build contract, was advised house was booked in to start end of february. However we've experienced nothing but delays.
*site cut done 6th of may
*slab booked in 7th of june after waiting for the pods to arrive due to shortage - pods delivered on sight early June
*slab rescheduled for the 26th of june, again delayed
*7th of july, this week has been dry yet the slab hasn't been prepped or poured and no communication on when this has been rescheduled
*While this has happened the block behind us also being built by escape homes (approx same start build date

We signed up with Domenic from Central Property last year to build our turnkey investment property down in Geelong. Domenic was very helpful, professional and prompt during our consultation/planning phase. Even through Covid, we managed to work with Domenic to get the plans approved. Construction started in Oct 20. Escape Homes did the construction and we were lucky to have Damien as our site supervisor. Even though we did not meet very often, the office kept us informed of the progress weekly. Just wished they could be more flexible in scheduling meetings with supervisor. Otherwise, Damien did

It was a simple choice when we meet Nick Tologlou from H&L Victoria. I could not wait for my building project to be complete to write about how well it is taking shape. The professionalism and attention to my building project by Escape Homes is worth talking about. Communication and clarity about what is happening has been top of the range. I feel like my friend is looking after me, not a company. Stephanie gave me weekly updates and knows what she is talking about. It was such a relief to be able to leave it in her capable and caring hands. Every team member I have been in contact with is of similar
