Fantastic Build & Quality

18 Months ago I was looking at purchasing a home in the Geelong region and over a few weekends I inspected many homes some new and some that had been lived in. By sheer coincidence we drove up my current street to inspect another property and came across this brand new 3 bedroom townhouse.

From the first step into this townhouse it just reflected quality and attention to detail.  The appliances were all european, the kitchen layout was spacious which included a butlers pantry and the compacting windows that leads outside just opened up the entire lower section which has a north facing  aspect. The laundry was large and so was the two and half car garage space. 

Up stairs there is a rumpus room with two bedrooms and a large bathroom that services that area, again attention to detail and quality in the bathroom just like the ensuite. One thing I forgot to mention is the house is 6 star energy rating, again another quality idea and product.

The builder was most accommodating especially around the settlement dates as we ran into a issue of the party purchasing my previous townhouse and once I explained it to Desbo Building Group they were fantastic and adjusted settlement to meet my needs. If I was to build another home or townhouse I wouldn’t look any further than these guys.

I highly recommend any person or couples who are wanting a builder that has quality staff, fantastic attention to detail not too look any further than Desbo Building Group.

It's all in the detail

After purchasing our idyllic 1 acre block, we began where most would, looking through countless display homes. We had a clear image in our minds of what we wanted; a double-storey, American-style, weatherboard home that oozed character. It quickly became clear that a volume builder would not be able to offer us the dream home we had invisioned.

We sought after a draftsperson and began drawing up some plans. It quickly became very overwhelming. We didn’t know how much everything would cost and how on earth were we going to budget.

Our first meeting with Shane was at one of his projects, townhouses in South Geelong. It was very clear at this point how pedantic him and his team were and the attention to detail was superior. From the very first meeting, he made the process seem so easy.

Throughout the process we had constant communication and inclusion with the build. We were able to make minor changes and the DBG team were very adaptable. The finishes are beyond our expectations and everything was completed to an exceptional standard.

We have now been in our beautiful home for just over a year and absolutely love it. Thank you to Shane and the team at Desbo Building Group!

Highly Recommended

We bought our house when it was under construction. Our home was completed very quickly as they did their best to accommodate our preferred moving date. The construction team had excellent customer service and always available.

When we moved in we were very impressed with the quality of materials used in construction of our house. We found many extras in the house that we never expected.

 We have been in our house around a year and everyone that has come over is very impressed with the unique design. The quality of your work stands out.

The house doesn’t require any maintenance for long time.

We love our new home and thank all the Desbo Building team for being so understanding and helpful along the way. We highly recommend Desbo Building group to everyone.
