Right Partner for a Knock Down Rebuild

For Erica and Lindsay, connection to their local community was one of the factors that influenced their decision to engage Horizon Homes when they decided to knock down and rebuild their Russell Lea home.

Horizon came highly recommended, and Erica, Lindsay and their two boys, Lucas and Dylan, loved the style of Horizon’s past projects. But as a passionate AFL family, they also appreciated Horizon’s support of grassroots footy.

Horizon Homes has been a long-time sponsor of junior AFL clubs Concord Giants and the Canada Bay Cannons, both based in Sydney’s inner-west. 

As a family-owned company, we’ve made this investment in grassroots sport because we’re passionate about being part of our local community – and because we also believe it is important to provide opportunities for kids to be active. 

“We had a recommendation through family and friends, and we went to the footy and there’s a big Horizon sign on the fence and it is also across their jerseys, so it just made sense to partner,” Erica said. “The kids think it is pretty cool that the company that sponsors their club is the one that is building their new home.”

With their home due to complete later this year, Erica says she has been really impressed by the design and construction process. 

“The design process is a big reason why we chose Horizon as well, because we can change what we want. So, we have chosen a standard plan, I guess you’d call it, but anything Lindsay and I wanted to change, we were able to. 

“Denis (Horizon Homes Director Denis Carroll) would come and talk us through that process – what that means, what that would look like and how much that would cost.”

Erica and Lindsay are building a two-storey house, with four bedrooms upstairs and a fifth bedroom downstairs, which will be used as a study. Like all Horizon Homes’ builds, the house will have a great indoor-outdoor flow. A spacious living/dining/kitchen area will lead onto an al fresco kitchen, overlooking a backyard pool. For the family, a two-car garage was also very important. 

“Quality of the construction is also important to us because it is our dream home… we want the quality and finishes to reflect that.

“Denis’ team is really good at communication and that’s what I like the best. We get a note from (site manager) Danny every Friday on progress… it is a full update. Nothing is a hassle. We can ask a question at any time.”

Erica and Lindsay, we’re honoured to be given the opportunity to build your dream home and can’t wait to hand over the keys.

What our clients say

“It’s hard to imagine your dream house. It’s better if someone just builds it for you. That’s how we felt with the house that Horizon Homes designed and built for our family. Horizon are a very professional, delivery oriented and detail focused company. Challenges with the site were dealt with effectively and on time... costs came in on budget. We would unhesitatingly recommend Horizon for your bespoke home design & build.”

“Our journey with Horizon Homes was wonderful. Our house looks amazing... we chose Horizon Homes because they said they could do any style, their display house had good quality and the team was so easy to talk to. The design process, choosing colours and finishes were so much fun... Denis and team gave us useful advice so our budget didn’t blow out. The construction process went smoothly and finished on time. We highly recommend Horizon Homes and we could not be happier. ”

“We wanted to build with a local family builder who would give us time to design our dream house. Denis had some fantastic ideas and advice and turned our dreams into reality. All building work started and finished on time and our supervisor, Danny had a level of communication that far exceeded our expectations. We were really impressed with the quality of the finishes, the attention to detail and the effort taken to handover a faultless home. Such a positive experience from an exceptional builder. ”

“Our experience with Horizon was supportive from start to end. As beginners in the knockdown and rebuild process, I felt they guided us through the journey. The quality of our finishings was excellent... I still love coming home to our house more than a couple of years later. Horizon were a delight to deal with and we got the house of our dreams out of it!!!”

“I cannot thank you guys enough for what you have done. Despite the restrictions of land size you have put up an amazing house. Your professionalism and just the way you conduct your business is by far of the highest standards.”

“We had a good idea of what we wanted in our new home and Horizon Homes made it a reality. The build time was just as they had forecast and no request big or small was too difficult. From the minute we met Denis we knew he was the builder for us. Denis was honest and up front from the beginning. We really appreciated this.”

“Horizon Homes is professional and efficient. Everything is documented and handled in a manner that is transparent, clear and concise. We have also found that their attention to detail from the signing of the contract to handover has been excellent. Our home is stunning and everything that we expected it to be. Horizon Homes comes highly recommended by us.”

“They took care of every step of the knock-down and rebuild, from the very beginning to handing over the keys… They prepared the council DA application… looked after the entire building process with exceptional quality, workmanship and keen eye for details… the entire team was honest and up front… We are so grateful that we chose Horizon Home to complete our new home project…”

“We were really happy with the service we received from Denis, Liam, Esther and the team. Communication at all stages of the project was top class. Our build process went smoothly, and importantly Liam has been really responsive to any requests we have had since moving in. I would highly recommend Horizon Homes and complement them on a job well done!”

“We built our first dream house with Horizon Homes. Denis and the team are very professional and helpful from the very beginning. Our house now is one of the signature on our street. We really enjoy the whole process with the team. And hopefully we can build again with Horizon Home in the near future!”

“Horizon worked with us to design the house we wanted. They listened to our brief and gave excellent advice and suggestions. We love the result. Our home is spacious, light-filled and maximises the potential of our downward sloping block. There were setbacks throughout the build, which meant that our house was completed behind schedule, but Horizon had good communication processes in place and we cannot fault the quality of the overall build.”

“The construction process was smooth, with regular communication keeping us abreast of what was happening... our site supervisor (Danny) was always approachable and addressed all our concerns to achieve the final product of a beautiful double story home in Concord that we are very proud of! We recommend Horizon Homes for their personal touch, ability to listen to our needs and the values they displayed during the project - Openness, Honesty and Transparency - and most of all, for keeping our confidence high during what is typically a stressful time.”

“After considering 50+ builders we eventually decided on a custom home with Horizon and are very happy with our choice. Denis and Danny were extremely helpful during the custom design phase, working within our budget to design our dream home... things ran on budget and schedule, and we were regularly updated regarding progress, so thankfully this was a stress-free period. The quality of build was excellent... we have been living in the house for over 6 months now and love it - we would definitively choose Horizon again and highly recommend them.”

“We built our first home with Horizon Homes... all the questions were answered and the whole build process ended up being very smooth. Our variation requests were happily accommodated. The whole team... were professional, friendly and easy to work with. The house turned heads and the quality of the build speaks for itself. We’ll unthinkingly hire them if we were to build again.”
