Testimonials

Our journey with hallmark homes has been simply great. The staff is so friendly and accommodating that you feel at ease straightaway. Staff is very professional and always just one phone call away with prompt responses to our concerns with practical solutions that work in the long run.

Quality build and a perfect example of great coordination and team work within a company with the focus always being the customer.

The Coconstruct app by Hallmark made the whole process soo seamless and stress-free as we were able to access all information relating to our build in real-time over a click of a button. So smart.

We highly recommend to build with Headstart Homes if you are looking for genuinely passionate people who care for your journey as they go out of their way to make sure the process of building is quick and stress-free as much as possible.

Mihir Khadawala

Headstart Homes has been absolutely fantastic to deal with. Kelly had a couple of health issues during the build that resulted in her being in hospital. Headstart were so great. They were determined to keep the build on track but whilst also being really sensitive to what was going on. They really helped Shaun too, because he had to make a lot of decisions without me around. They also sent a bunch of flowers / choccy's. Just that experience was fantastic. You didn't feel like a number. It felt like they really cared which was so nice because building a home is a big life event, and so is getting put in hospital too.

Shaun & Kelly Dalzell

Headstart Homes did an excellent job constructing our house. They were attentive to our needs and preferences, and the quality of their workmanship was top-notch. Communication throughout the project was clear and timely. We are very pleased with the end result and would highly recommend them to others.

Igor and Irina Gaghis

Headstart Homes are awesome. They built my nephew's home and I'd just love to be able to say start a Lincoln Plan for me tomorrow!

Anne

Fantastic company to build our first home with. Headstart provided us with all the information we needed to make our choices, were flexible and kept our best interests in mind always. We love our house design and the quality of the build is fantastic. Great value for money - plus lovely people too!

Kadie

Very impressive show home at Te Wharaki, Lincoln. Really worth going to see with great indoor outdoor flow. Best feature for me was the master bedroom walk in wardrobe - really great.

Wendy

Well presented Showhome, interesting smart features installed and some great ideas for layouts, especially in the outdoor living and master bedroom spaces. It's not cheap but you certainly get what you pay for here!

Robin

Headstart have been fantastic to work with, they have made the whole process of building our first home simple and clear, I cannot recommend them enough

Andrew

We first met Mark last year at the Faringdon show home. He was so helpful with all our questions and did a great job putting together the house we wanted to build. We highly recommend Headstart Homes and can’t wait to move into our new house this year.
