It hasn't taken long to settle in to our happy place

When we bought the original property in 2016 we were still living overseas and had no idea whether we would ever be able to make our dream of living on the South Coast a reality. But when an opportunity came up to work in the area, we felt we had to jump at the chance to be both closer to family and explore the option of knocking down and building a home we could put roots down in.

Our research for a builder started whilst we were living in Melbourne through the peak of COVID. For that reason, all our initial research was done online. We found Evolution Building Group through a google search of local builders in the Wollongong/South Coast area. We loved the idea of them being a smaller, local builder and the testimonials they had on their website came across as genuine and very positive. On their website, we were able to go through the Suffolk Display home virtually and we found ourselves coming back to the virtual tour over and over again.

As we weren't able to travel to NSW to get to the display home at the time, we did all our initial communication with Jaison by phone and email. He was so down to earth and knowledgeable and spent huge amounts of time with us answering questions that we had about the process, costing, making changes to the floor plan and timelines. Evolution Building Group were patient with us as we went through a million questions and then needed to pause any further decisions until we were able to get up to the display home in person to really make sure it was the one for us.

Once we were able to get to the Suffolk in person it was even better than we expected. We walked in and it immediately felt different to any other display homes we had walked through. We felt there had been so much thought put in to making it stand out - mainly the use of the internal roof lines, sky lights and high ceilings. We loved that from the outside it was actually quite modest, and you couldn't even tell there was a second level. We found out you could build the Suffolk without the loft but once we had been upstairs it was hard not to picture that as our own retreat. It didn't take us long to commit to building our own Suffolk.

During the design process Jaison was fantastic in helping us reconfigure the floor plan slightly to allow for a bigger garage/home gym space. When it came to making all the design selections, Anissa helped guide us through the options and helped me when I got 'stuck' on decisions. She even promised to help me make sure I didn't shy away from bolder colour choices. The number of decisions that need to me made through the process was huge, but Anissa made me feel confident that the decisions I was making would be ones I was happy with.

Once construction started, Evolution Building helped us navigate HUGE amounts of rain and many additional questions about the progress outside of our normal 'check ins'. Each step in the construction process was exciting to see and we were always impatient to get on site to have a sticky beak. When we got to handover day, we already knew it was looking just like we had hoped it would.

It hasn't taken us long to settle into our happy place. It really does feel like Evolution has helped us create a space that works just right for our family. We had a pretty clear vision of what we felt would work well after living in 13 different houses in 20 years and we are ALL so in love with the idea of creating memories in this space for many years to come.

With thanks Carly & Alexander!

Deon & Belinda's First Home

Who ever said building was stressful?!?!

From the very beginning, our experience with Evolution Building Group was amazing. As first home buyers, it was a very big step for us.

Not one phone call or email went unanswered. Every time we walked into the office we were welcomed with the most genuine greetings. 20 minute visits soon turned into 1 hour conversations...(sorry ladies!!).

For an experience that could become quite overwhelming, you guys made it completely stress free. Your professionalism and knowledge gave us much comfort and reassurance. We knew we were in good hands.

Evolution, you are amazing and we cannot speak highly enough of you. Our relationship goes far beyond the build.

Thank you for everything. Deon & Belinda.

Suffolk - Kitchen

Hollie fell in love with the suffolk

My partner and I were tossing up between purchasing an investment property, buying a home that was already built or building when we decided to visit the Evolution Building Group Suffolk Display Home. As soon as we walked through the home we made up our mind up that we definetely wanted to build with Evolution. From the finishes to the colour scheme and all the details in the home, we fell in love and have now decided to build the Suffolk for ourselves. The customer service is impeccable from replies to emails late on a weekend to Darrin (the owner) being in the display home on a Sunday keen to answer all of our questions. We would definetely recommend visiting the home!

Chloe & Rylan's Kiama home

It was so great to find a local quality builder to build our custom home. It is everything we planned! From the initial meeting to the planning stages and construction, the team were always friendly and responsive. Our initial impressions were high and we were never let down. The entire process was effortless. We had every bit of confidence that they would deliver a quality product. Holding the fort and every bit helpful is Helen and the rest of the team. They are super friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Evolution Building Group to anyone wanting to build a quality and affordable home. We can't thank you guys enough.

building an architectural piece of art

We were quite blessed to find Darrin and his team at Evolution Building Group to build our dream custom home. From day one, everyone was so friendly and accommodative, we could not praise this team enough . We are very grateful to Troy and Helen, who made the initial planning stage so smooth for us by understanding our expectations and working through the details.

The trades working on our project were also very professional and most importantly caring. Our house was built on a relatively challenging down sloping block but was still finished well in time with good quality material and workmanship. I wish Evolution Building Group lots of success in future as they worked very hard to make our building experience a very gratifying one. With thanks Shashi & Ish.

Tayla & Lewis were stress free

We are so in love with our first home built by Evolution Building Group! We were so happy to have found a local builder who made us feel like we weren’t just another number. From the day we first walked through the Atlantis display home in Wongawilli and met Sharon, we instantly felt at ease and knew it was the right thing to do!

Big shoutout to Helen, you are such a lovely person! From the beginning you have been so patient and understanding, you made us feel very comfortable with everything! Being our first build, we had a lot of questions and they were always answered straight away. Who said building was stressful!?!

Big thank you to all the team for making our whole experience a breeze, we are just SO happy! We speak very highly of Evolution Building Group and recommend anyone to build with them!

award winning home

The team at Evolution have been absolutely fantastic. From the very first phone enquiry with Helen we immediately felt so comfortable in making the commitment to build our home with this team.  There was never pressure put on us in regards to making decisions or handing over money, they have been very considerate during the entire process.

There have been many enquirers on our behalf and not once has it been an issue and, our enquirers are answered within the hour. The entire team are all so friendly however, maintaining a very high standard of professionalism.

As this was our first build we were guided every step of the way and given ideas which is the reason why our home is looking exactly the way we dreamt it would.

There has not been one issue when building with Evolution, the entire process has been so stress free and exciting. During our many walk throughs we are simply impressed by the standard of work throughout the entire home.

We speak so highly of Evolution and recommend anyone who is interested in building their dream home to consider them. You will not feel like a number, you are made to feel part of the Evolution Team. Huge thanks from Paul & Greer!

This home won the 2018 MBA Best Project Home. A wonderful achievement for Evolution Building Group team!

display home living

After visiting the Evolution Homes display at Wongawilli we walked away with butterflies. We wanted a new home on our existing block of land that had our 40 year old home on it.  We had a set budget and didn't know if it was at all possible to find a house the size we wanted, that didn't look cheap and nasty, all within that budget.  We also had the additional hurdle of having an existing detached garage that was staying on the block that the new house had to fit around.  We left our hopes with Darrin and within a short period of time, we were given the news that our dream was about to become a reality.

Every step of the process was clearly explained to us and when we didn't get it, it was reiterated over and over again until we got there!  The team were very patient, kind and understanding of our circumstances.  For that, we are very grateful.

We received regular updates each week to let us know how things were going and walk through requests were always accommodated.  Any issues that did come up during the building process were rectified without debate.

We are now in our new home and love it! Thanks Evolution Building Group! Lucky & Bernadette, Dapto

Andrew's happy place in Calderwood

The team at Evolution Building Group are very professional and easy to work with. They have been extremely helpful from the design and colour scheme stage, all the way through to the construction and handover of the house I am proud to call home. The office staff are always willing to help and are very up front with all aspects of the home building process. The construction team  have done a fantastic job making my dream a reality. I would not hesitate recommending Evolution to anyone thinking about building their dream home.
