Twelve months ago we decided to move back to Wagga from Sydney to retire after an absence of several years. As we had previously owned a house built by Wayne Carter Homes and had been very happy with it, we contacted them to see what house and land packages they might have had available.
From the first meeting with Peta and Wayne they could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We talked about our specific needs, one of them being able to park a caravan, either in the garage or down the side of the house.
Peta and Wayne contacted one of their previous clients for whom they had recently built a house in the Estella Rise Estate who very kindly agreed for us to look through their home. This was certainly fantastic to be able to look through and actually see the spacious bedrooms, the layout of the house and the very large undercover pergola area outside. Peta made an excellent suggestion to change the plan to remove or move the media room, therefore creating a large space down the side of the garage to accommodate the caravan. This was a perfect suggestion and we quickly agreed to this change and commenced the process to purchase the block of land that they suggested would be the most suitable for both the house we had chosen and the caravan and for Wayne to build the house.
The house was commenced in May and we moved in at the end of October. Despite the amount of heavy rain we had during this period, Wayne and his excellent ‘tradies’ worked hard to ensure that the house was ready to move into by the time we needed to. While Wayne supervised the actual building, Peta was always available to assist us with the many choices that have to be made when building a house. As we were living in Sydney and could only come down a couple of times during this period, it was very reassuring to have Wayne and Peta controlling every aspect of the construction. They always responded promptly to e-mail and telephone enquiries and were kind and thoughtful enough to send us frequent photos of the progress of the construction. It was always very exciting for us to receive these regular updates and to be able to visually see the progress being made. Peta was truly amazing and always, always so very helpful and willing to discuss colours etc and reassure us that the decisions we were making were either the correct decisions or provide us with advice when we were unsure. We had complete faith in her.
The big day finally arrived to move in and we arrived from Sydney around 6:30 in the evening. We turned the corner into our street and there were Peta and Wayne waiting for us. Their faces lit up with as much excitement handing over the house to us as we felt about moving in.
We just love our house and everything is so well finished off. Wayne called in or contacted us several times in the week after we moved in to make sure everything was to our satisfaction.
We would have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Wayne Carter Homes to anyone considering building a house in the Wagga area. You do not need to be a local to be able to put yourselves in their hands and entirely trust them. Besides the quality finish and absolute care and perfection Wayne and Peta ensure goes into every house, they are the most professional, honest, delightful and pleasant people that you could ever do business with and we thank them so very much for the care and kindness they gave to us during this time!
The Wagga new home builder Wayne Carter Homes has built 4 homes for us in the last five years for investment purposes.
We chose Wayne for as our builder for the first home because he was easy to deal with, he quoted everything we needed for an investment home and we saw that the quality of his workmanship was very good. We didn’t want any little nasty surprises at the end of building when we were working to a budget. All the inclusions were of an excellent quality and our needs were always foremost in mind when planning the project. Everything flowed so smoothly, that when we decided to do more building we didn’t look anywhere else for a Wagga builder.
All our homes had tenants ready to move in on completion of building as the agents were able to liaise with Wayne to gain access to show clients. This enabled us to start earning for our investment from the earliest possible dates.
Any little ‘hiccups’ from a new home were dealt with by Wayne very promptly so our tenants were never disadvantaged by a ‘stove or rangehood not working properly’.
Wayne quoted on everything we asked for a ‘move in ‘ price which included everything through to landscaping, so we didn’t have to lift a finger on our projects. This was a huge asset to us as we live in Sydney and couldn’t do the work ourselves.
Many people say after building a house that they would never do it again due to all the problems, but, in spite of the distance from Sydney to Wagga Wagga, a few phone calls were all it took to get the final projects under way because we had total trust in ‘our’ builder and the professionalism of his team. We are now doing a project up the coast and we asked Wayne if he would move up the coast for us, but he declined. This shows the amount of trust we have in him as a builder.
We would recommend Wayne Carter homes to anyone who wants a high quality home and a professional, dedicated team working for them.
Thankyou Wayne & Peta and everyone tradesman who helped build our home. We are so thrilled with our new home- we just wanted to let you know.
I’ve said it before- no Wagga builder is in your league and I’ve been spreading the word to everyone! Your professionalism & ease to deal with made our journey easy. The fit out and finish is so much better than other homes I have seen.
A job exceedingly well done!
After viewing a home built by Wayne Carter Homes I knew that was the Wagga builder for me. I was so impressed with the quality and the extra touches and the fact that the plan could be modified to suit my needs and my budget.
Flexibility was an important factor as well as I was able to alter some of my selections along the way.
Wayne was able to offer experienced advice and I was impressed by the fact that I didn’t have to talk to a third party. Wayne is the person on the job which meant that nothing was overlooked and that my home was completed with the utmost quality and attention to detail. You can see the pride Wayne takes in the homes he builds.
I couldn’t be happier with my home and if I decide to build again I would not hesitate to build with Wayne & Peta Carter. They’re the best!
I couldn’t be more thrilled with my new home. This is the second home I chose to build with Wayne Carter Homes. After building my first home there was no question who I would have build for me again.
Wayne & Peta Carter are an absolute dream to work with. My first home even won a HIA Award so you could say I am more than thrilled.
Wayne and Peta custom designed a home to suit my corner block. They took into account my criteria of having the living area encompassing a north easterly aspect and a flow through effect to my alfresco area which had an open fireplace. The plan and quality of my home exceeded my expectations!
Nothing was ever too much trouble ,even receiving valuable information from Peta weekly regarding what is on special and spending time with them both discussing the most economical design ideas possible.
When I build again I would only go with the best builder in Wagga – Wayne Carter Homes!
Joel and I had just moved to Wagga so we had no idea who to build with and what to do! As first home buyers we knew even less! As soon as I made a phone call to enquire about seeing one of Wayne’s homes, I knew we were in safe hands. He offered to take me through a house he had built that was actually a home – not a display house! I thought this was a good sign – the owner trusted him with her home after the handover had been completed. The attention to detail was incredible – I was convinced we needed to build with the Wagga builder Wayne Carter Homes.
From start to finish, we could not have been happier with the support, quality and care provided by Wayne and Peta. We felt like there was no question we couldn’t ask, no issue that couldn’t be dealt with. Having never built or bought before it was comforting to be guided by such wonderful and experienced people. We were never stressed as everything was so smooth and so well done.
For the conclusion of our build both Joel and I were interstate. We had absolutely no hesitation in leaving the finishing touches to Wayne and Peta. They really went the extra mile for us. Peta selected the colour of our blinds without us even seeing them, Wayne ensured the drainage out the back was taken care of properly and they both make certain that every last detail was taken care of.
From a first home buyer/builder perspective, we couldn’t be happier with the service, care and advice we received every step of the way. If we build again, it will be with Wayne Carter Homes – without a doubt!
This was our third new house build.
Wayne & Peta helped make this house into our family home. Their being on site everyday meant we were able to move in ahead of schedule!
Pleasant, informative, always available, ahead of time and to budget – what more can you ask for?
We have and will continue to recommend the Wagga builder Wayne Carter Homes to everyone that we know and meet.
What is it like to build your home with Wayne Carter Homes? In a word……Easy!
As a FIRST HOME BUYER I had no idea of the process of building. But my fears were allayed when I met Wayne & Peta Carter. What impressed me most was the quality of my home and Wayne’s meticulous attention to detail. Wayne is a man who takes pride in his work and it is reflected in the homes he builds. Peta was there all the way assisting me with colour and material selections and if I changed my selection it wasn’t a problem.
I couldn’t ask for a better finished home, a really functional plan and importantly a home built to my budget.
I thoroughly recommend the Wagga builder Wayne Carter Homes.
Building with Wayne Carter Homes was an experience my husband and I would do again and happily recommend. We were first home buyers with very little knowledge of the market and the building industry. To make our situation more difficult we were living 3 hours away from Wagga Wagga, however, we felt confident in the work being completed. We were welcomed into their home and we were given a honest quote with insightful information.
Amazing support and workmanship
I want to thank both Wayne and Peta Carter for their amazing support and workmanship. I cannot think of anything to fault. Our home was built with such pride and perfection, even other Wagga builders commented on the high level of workmanship.
There was never an occasion whereby something we asked seemed difficult, for example I decided to change our stove at the last minute and it was organised within the hour.
Wayne and Peta operate a family building business, and we truly believe this makes the difference. You work with the builder, not the contractors.
Thank you Wayne and Peta for building us a home beyond our dreams, it was truly appreciated!
