Summit Homes New Home in Spearwood: Client Story

Teena and Frank built their beautiful home in Spearwood, which was the perfect opportunity for them to live closer to their family, while creating a custom home that fit their lifestyle. With downsizing in mind, they embraced the idea of a more streamlined, stylish space. Their building journey began when they met Natalie Scott, a passionate New Homes Consultant at Summit Homes, who helped bring their vision to life.

With three of their children already having built a Summit Home with Natalie, the decision to explore their own build felt like a natural next step. After spotting a block that seemed almost too good to be true, Natalie personally visited the site and confirmed it was indeed “amazing.” That kind of hands-on care gave Teena and Frank the confidence they needed to move forward.

 

Key Insights:

• Three of Teena and Frank’s children had already built with Summit, making Natalie a trusted consultant in their building journey.
• Natalie created a custom design to suit the layout of their block, being next to public land.
• Downsizing from a five-bedroom to a three-bedroom home turned out to be a rewarding move, offering functionality and comfort without compromise.
• The build was completed in less than 10 months, which gave the couple added confidence that Summit Homes was the right choice for them.

 

 

The Design Process

Having already guided three of their children through their builds, New Homes Consultant, Natalie Scott, came highly recommended. With an extensive drafting background, Natalie was able to create a bespoke design overnight to suit Frank and Teena’s block requirements. Being next to public land, the block was narrower than others, but Natalie was able to create a design that Frank and Teena loved, including all of the features they wanted, whilst still meeting all the council’s requirements. Natalie’s support and guidance throughout the building journey gave Frank and Teena great peace of mind.

 

“Three of our kids built with Summit through Natalie, it was a no-brainer. She came highly recommended, and now we know why.” – Frank

 

 

Choosing the Right Floorplan

Teena and Frank were initially concerned about downsizing, trading in their five-bedroom family home for a more manageable three-bedroom layout. While they expected to miss the extra space, the design exceeded their expectations. The layout, crafted with Natalie’s guidance, maximised space and practicality. Even with the change in size, the home feels spacious, functional, and is well-suited to their needs.

 

The Summit Experience

Finding the right builder was a top priority for Frank and Teena. With multiple builds under their belts, they wanted to work with a builder who saw them as real clients with unique goals, not just another job on the books. They wanted a team that valued relationships, took the time to understand their needs, and made the building experience feel personal from start to finish.
Frank appreciated that Summit was a family-run business that has stayed true to its roots. He felt that Summit genuinely upheld family values, creating a more personal, respectful, and down-to-earth experience.

 

“We liked that Summit has a family type of culture that you don’t get with a large corporate business.” – Frank

 

 

Why Choose Summit Homes for Your Next Build?

Teena and Frank believe that personal recommendations make all the difference when choosing a builder. They know from experience that anyone can look good on paper, but hearing honest feedback from someone you trust gives real peace of mind. That’s why they recommend starting with someone like Natalie and the Summit Homes team, who came highly recommended to them and proved to be supportive, genuine, and committed from the very first conversation.
