We love our new home
We completed our custom build with Arli in March 2023.
Conquering challenges
We had a very small site so the design was a challenge, but Arli were able to resolve it well and build a beautiful home for my family. As always, there are challenges with any build, but the team at Arli were very proactive and able to resolve these as they came about.
Meticulously crafted
Our build quality and finishes are of a very high standard. Maintenance has also been very easy to work with and again the team are very proactive and attentive in their approach. The team work hard and they deserve huge praise on this project.
A true collaboration
The team are very passionate about what they do, and we felt heard and valued throughout the process. I love the fact that we could build an architectural home for a more affordable price as the team at Arli were able to offer suggestions to keep the price down without compromising the look and feel.
A five-star experience
We’ve had many compliments on the design and quality of the build. Thank you everyone at the Arli team! We would definitely build with them again – highly recommend.
