It feels like only yesterday that I applied for my Custom Home Builders Adelaide licence and shortly after, dived into new opportunities with the start of SA Designer Homes. A lot has happened in such a short amount of time and on this occasion, celebrating two years in the business, I wanted to take the time to look back on what has been an epic ride so far.

Flash back to 2010 where it all began. My wife and I developed our first home with the help of a builder. Overall the job went well, albeit with a few hiccups, but it was at that point I knew I wanted to be a builder and do it myself.

Initially, I enrolled to study building design over 18 months and acquired the fundamental basics to design and draw plans using the specialised design programme AutoCAD. During this time however, I changed course and decided to work towards accreditation for a building supervisors license. I was fortunate to have the support of experienced master builders who became my mentors, encouraging and helping me along the way. They took me under their wing and showed me the right way of doing things. I am forever grateful for their guidance and today they are there whenever I need anything (thanks guys, I’m sure your reading this).

In the beginning the business model was to just build developments and supply quality housing to new home buyers, but after receiving great feedback during open inspections, a number of private clients approached me to build homes for them! WOW! After completing these homes ,word of mouth took over and the rest is history; the decision was made to offer services to private clients and SA Designer Homes was born.

It has been a lot of hard work, but determination and dedication is key and the results of the last two years speak for themselves. My mission is to continue to offer a stress free experience for clients by offering outstanding communication, fixed price building contracts and personalised service.

Thank everyone for support – look forward to working with new SA Designer Homes customers in the future.

Best builders in Adelaide! We do all of peters painting work and we know when he calls us up for a job that it’s going to be neat, clean and 100% ready for us to do our thing. His communication throughout each project is second to none and his quality control on all his trades always results in a high quality home.

As a first home owner I was excited but hesistant to build - there are plenty of horror stories. I spoke to several builders at the start. One was a 'big' builder but it felt very impersonal and that they didnt really care. When I contacted Peter from SA Designer Homes he was very approachable and understood what my partner and I wanted - it was a good feeling from the start and I'm happy to say that feeling stayed until the end. What really stood out was the communication - Peter is always available to chat or meet up and answer any queries. It really made the process so enjoyable and smooth - we always knew what was going on He went above and beyond his role as we sorted our way through all the things we didnt know as first time land and home owners (thankyou!) If there was a problem it was sorted (and explained) quickly. The end product is a high quality custom made home. It may not be the cheapest if we'd gone with the big builders who make 200+ homes a year but it was still affordable and finished to a high standard. I am so glad we chose SA Designer Homes and we will definitely build with Peter and his team again

Building a house is quite a complex process and completing a build on time, on budget and without having to reach for the valium to bring down the stress levels is rare - SA designer Homes managed to do it and made it look easy. Peter, the principal of SADH, was extremely knowledgeable and gave us some excellent advice over the course of the build and as he was also our site manger we could contact him with any issues which he generally resolved very quickly - every time! Communication is first rate coupled with his own very high standards and good sense of humour certainly made him a pleasure to work with.Overall, a good experience with a great result.

We work closely with Peter and the team at SA Designer Homes and are always happy when they call. Their sites are kept clean and tidy throughout the build process. Keep up the good work legends!

We contacted multiple builders and all but 1 actually didn't even get back to us. When I was told of SA Designer Homes we made contact and from the first chat we were informed of everything and given a price that was followed through on. Communication was outstanding and the house was built in great time and quality is great. I cant reccommend SA Designer Homes enough.
