Testimonials and Awards

“We love the design of this POLE HOME house. When our friends visit they always remark that it looks like they’ve just arrived at a resort. Having the house elevated on stumps combined with the layout, every room in the house receives the cool breezes. The plan really suits our family. We consider ourselves very lucky to own such a house in such an awesome area.”

Graeme and Alison – Ocean View

We would like to sincerely thank The Pole Home Group for our gorgeous home!

At the beginning of our search, we met with a few builders on site before finding Craig. We immediately got the feeling that Craig understood what we were trying to achieve and when we met onsite we knew he could see our “vision”.

What we loved about Craig and his team was the excitement of building our home and the wonderful vibe him and his team set for the build. Nothing was too much trouble for Craig from the initial meeting, to drawing up the plans and turning dirt, right up until we received the keys to our wonderful home.

Craig liaised with us every step of the way confirming our satisfaction at every stage of the process with a “Are we there yet?!” or “How’s that sound?” We loved his ability to keep us up to date with things, keep on top of things and keep us posted on the process which was approximately 6months in total.

If you are looking for the right builder and don’t know where to start, we would highly recommend giving Craig a call and having a chat. His honest and knowledgeable approach lead us to having our beautiful home that we are totally in love with and obviously can’t rave about it enough!
Thank you again The Pole Home Group for everything,

Jesse and Jasmin – Ocean View

I am writing to thank you for a job well done! It’s been almost 2 years since we moved in & not a single problem. Sally & I have both said several times that we definitely would build this house again if we ever moved.

Sure, we had the usual teething problems but overall the house was built to a very high standard & I would happily recommend The Pole Home Group.

When we first began planning this project I don’t think that my wife and I truly realised the enormity of developing a home on an acre & ¾ sloping block.

It was a massive house but we were happy with the design & whilst I’m sure Craig & Nick were pulling their hair out at our last-minute changes, it all went very smoothly.

Everything was handled very professionally & the pre-construction value was very accurate. The timing, delivery and pricing was excellent. We were always treated fairly and respectfully. The greatest testament to you may be that even now that we have lived here for almost 2 years, everything is true, straight and squeak free.

Thank you

Stefan & Sally

Krishna and I would like to formally thank you for the efforts that you and your team put in over the 8 months of our house build this year. It’s never easy building a house, but our experience was not one of significant stress and we are over the moon with our gorgeous home! You gave us so much time and detailed attention in the early design stages, and I really feel that we got it right and it was worth all the contemplation and changes. Any mishaps along the way were handled professionally and we were happy with the solutions provided. We would be happy to recommend your team for any building works.

Thank you again, and have a wonderful Christmas with your family 🙂

Rachael and Krishna (and Amara!)

We have become homebodies and it’s your fault! We moved into the beautiful house you built for us six months ago and we love every minute-so much so that we possibly spend a little bit TOO much time here!
From our first discussion, we had a good feeling about working with you. We went into this project having spoken with several other builders, none of whom seemed to ‘get’ what we wanted and who tried to push us in directions that suited them but weren’t right for us. When we first spoke to you, and started sketching out how the house could look on our block, we were so happy to finally meet someone who understood what we were looking to achieve and was excited about it!
We approached the build process itself with some trepidation as we had heard plenty of building horror stories. However, the process was smooth and it was great being helped along by Nick and his strong attention to detail and Sally-Anne who was always only too happy to help with anything and everything.
We are so happy with the final product and know from the reactions of our friends, family and pretty much anyone else that sees -our house, that we have succeeded in creating a home with presence and `wow factor’.
Thanks for all your help and support and see you in a few years’ time for the next project!

Without hesitation, we have no problems in ‘highly’ recommending the Pole Home Group. We had never renovated before -so being novices we were apprehensive about taking on a large project. From the first meeting through to completion, the team at Pole Home Group (Craig, Nick, Chris and Stacey
and subcontractors) exceeded our expectations. Their proactive approach to every aspect of the project combined with quality workmanship, constant momentum, keeping us informed and guiding us where they believed there was a better result made working with them a real pleasure. Craig and Nick’s attention to detail ensured the finish product met our very demanding expectations. Using the Pole Home Group was a great decision and one we recommend to others. We love our home.

Craig Neilson of the Pole Home Group walked into our shoebox of a house and within minutes was mentally designing a large living area with raked ceilings incorporating dining- and living room areas leading out onto to a spacious deck opening up commanding views of the valley below.
They have transformed the bathroom utilising skylights and effectively ` opened the house up’ by cleverly making full use of ambient light and breezes. The entire house has been reclad, insulated and plumbed all well within our budget and with a wary eye on the probable impacts of adverse weather.
Craig and his builder Nick of the Pole Home Group are without doubt the Lennon and McCartney of the building industry able to create a lifestyle hit from a few simple disconnected notes.

Jennifer and Kevin Radbourne

Craig Neilson’s Pole Home Group recently constructed two housing extensions at our residence.
Craig and his team exceeded our high expectations.
They came in on time and on budget. The quality of workmanship was first class and superior to work that we have had done on other homes.
The core requirement that the extensions were indistinguishable from the original house was well and truly met. It is not uncommon for friends visiting us to say “something’s different, but what?”
We have no hesitation in recommending Craig Neilson’s Pole Home Group to any prospective customer who requires work to be done to a very high standard, on budget and on time.
Yours faithfully

Paul and Rosalynd Tooker

Both Fiona and I would like to congratulate you and your team on the excellent work on our new home.
Right from the outset dealing with you has been a pleasure and stress free. Not only did you have the design to suit our block, you also have a team of people that offers assistance in all stages of the build. Thanks to Nick, Chris and Stacey for all their help.

You started on time and completed the build before time. A couple of tweaks here and there to the plans and we now have the home of our dreams.

Thank you once again.

Paul and Fiona Struth - 21 Gemelle Court Witta

Jeremy and May

Dear Craig, Kevin and I wanted you to know how thrilled we are with your work at 585 Mountain View Road Maleny, and how you achieved our dreams for taking our 1980’s house into a 21st century. From the very first time we met, you showed your creative thinking and positive attitude to problem solving. All through the renovations, especially at extremely frustrations times, your support and project management have been outstanding. Your capacity to work with us in Melbourne on a project in Maleny is a credit to your thoughtfulness and communication skills. Thank you, thank you, for your patience, your initiative, your highly skilled team, your creativity and for delivering on all your promises. Our home at Maleny is everything we wanted.

Jennifer and Kevin Radbourne

We found dealing with Craig Nielson from The Pole Home Group to be enjoyable and hassle free. As you talk to Craig from the beginning starting with plans, pricing and building, nothing is left to chance. All his contractors speak highly of him and work to a high standard that he expects. We would not hesitate to build with him again and are happy to recommend to anyone that is interested in building with The Pole Home Group.

Trevor and Donna Lucas

Dear Craig, We would like to thank you and your team for the excellent job you did in building our new home. This was the fourth time we have been through the building process hence our expectations and our desire for the perfect result were very high. We found you and your team also shared this high standard. The whole process went quickly and quality was never compromised. No issue or request was dismissed and the honestly with which you dealt was very much appreciated. We have no hesitation in recommending The Pole Home Group to anyone wishing to build a new home and would gladly act as a referee if you ever require.
