Who Is Statesman Homes?

- Statesman’s promotion terms show ACN 007 641 787 and Builder’s Licence No. G8969, and name Construction Services Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 99 007 641 787) as the building company (Statesman terms).

Where Statesman Homes Builds
Statesman builds “across South Australia”, including inner metro Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills and selected regional areas (Where we build). Its designs come in Villa, Courtyard and Family ranges.
Statesman Homes House and Land Packages and Guarantees
We didn’t find house and land prices published on Statesman’s house and land page. Its promotion terms list exclusions including siteworks and footings above standard (terms).
Statesman Homes promotes these guarantees, all with conditions:
- 25-year structural guarantee on every new home (About Statesman).
- 24-week build time guarantee: standard single-storey designs only, in metropolitan Adelaide, with no split level, retaining walls or landscaping, a site fall of no more than 600 mm, a sewer connection and no demolition. It is measured from slab pour to the certificate of practical completion, and listed delay causes in the building agreement end eligibility.
- Compensation if missed: $250 for each complete week late, “for a maximum of (six) weeks”, deducted from the final payment, and stated to be your “sole and exclusive remedy”.
The build time terms are quoted from Statesman’s promotion terms (terms). The maximum compensation is $1,500.
How Statesman Homes Packages Are Sold
Statesman directs investors to “call 1300 739 488 to chat with our investments team” (Statesman Invest). We found no third-party marketers 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.
