Quick answer: Dechellis Homes is a family-owned Adelaide builder, building since 1980 under Builders Licence BLD 312143. It is rated 4.8 out of 5 from 400 reviews on ProductReview.com.au. Its website doesn’t name the company behind the brand or publish prices, so confirm both before you sign.
This review sets out verifiable facts about Dechellis Homes for property investors: the companies behind the brand, where it builds, its current promotion and the questions worth asking before you sign. Every fact links to its source.
Who Is Dechellis Homes?
Dechellis Homes’ website shows:
- “Builders Licence BLD 312143”, membership of HIA and MBA, and an office at 84 North Terrace, Kent Town SA 5067. It describes itself as “a family owned, award winning builder proudly creating South Australian homes since 1980” (Dechellis Homes).
- The site doesn’t name a company. On the ABR, the business name “DE CHELLIS HOMES” is held by DE CHELLIS CONSTRUCTIONS PTY LTD (ABN 38 079 208 227) (ABR). A separate company, DE CHELLIS HOMES PTY. LTD. (ABN 79 122 048 015), is registered at the same postcode (ABR).
Because two De Chellis companies are registered and the website names neither, ask which one holds licence BLD 312143 and will sign your contract.
Where Dechellis Homes Builds
Dechellis has display homes at Angle Vale, Mt Barker, Old Reynella, Riverlea Park and West Lakes, and house and land at Munno Para Downs and Kidman Park (Dechellis Homes).
Dechellis Homes House and Land Packages and Guarantees
We didn’t find prices published for designs or house and land on the site. Its current promotion offers free solar and air conditioning (Promotions); read the conditions, including whether a credit applies if you don’t take it.
We didn’t find structural guarantee or fixed-price terms published on the pages we could access. Ask for both in writing before you sign.
How Dechellis Homes Packages Are Sold
Dechellis sells direct through its display homes and building consultants. We found no third-party marketers or finance partners named on its site.
What it means for you: when a package is sold through a marketer or investment group, that seller is commonly paid a commission by the builder or developer. That commission is part of the package price, whether or not it’s shown on the contract. Builder commissions can run into tens of thousands of dollars. Here’s how hidden commissions in house and land packages work.
