Fortune Living

Thank you Fortune Group for these two houses. Houses got finished in five and half months. Quality of the houses are wonderful. Supervisor Savan on top of everything when it comes to scheduling, quality check and notifying us regarding update. Shivam in Estimating department helped us to reach end product what we wanted through right selection and to be cost effective as much as possible. I would definitely recommend developers and clients to go with Fortune. Big thanks to Ravi and their team for these houses. I already planned for next project with fortune as well. Thanks Fortune. Regards Taqi

my house built with Fortune over 6 months ago. Right from the start of the build Ravi bhai, Shivambhai and Rishabbhai were very helpful in every stage. They were there to answer any question i had and guided through. They came in person to talk to me when i had issues on site. Their some inclusions were great which meant we didn't had to pay extra for upgrades. Also we not charged for any last minute changes. There was no cap of 3 or 6 months on maintenance issues like other builders. They were very understanding with my finances and gave me plenty of time to clear my invoices with the company for which i am ever grateful. They did some of works at my home no extra cost as good client. Only one thing, they took extra time to finish as normal. On the whole it was a good experience building with Fortune Living. My family is very happy.

Thinking of Building with Fortune Living or Using Adelaide Building Consulting (ABC) in Kent Town? Please read this before you sign anything. This was my eighth home build — I’m not new to the process. I chose to engage ABC because I wanted a smoother, stress-free experience. They promised to manage everything from start to finish, liaise with the builder on my behalf, and act as a buffer if issues arose. What I got was the complete opposite. I provided ABC with a custom floor plan, detailed specifications, and a fixed turnkey price. They assured me that Fortune Living were reliable builders who’d deliver a quality home within six months of slab pour. The contract stated the slab would go down within six weeks of council approval and the build would be completed within six months after that. But once my deposit was paid, the professionalism stopped. Selections were changed or removed despite being in the signed contract and emails. Much of what I’d worked out with ABC was never passed on to Fortune Living. Once issues started surfacing, ABC stopped responding to emails and calls entirely. I was left doing exactly what I paid them to avoid — managing the builder myself. That’s when I learned the hard truth: ABC act like they’re working for you, but really they’re just a middleman. They take a hefty consulting fee and also receive a $20,000+ kickback from the builder they send you to. Once the contract is signed, they disappear and take no accountability. As for Fortune Living? The delays and quality issues were beyond belief. Here’s the actual timeline: • Contract signed: Dec 2020 • Council approval: Mar 2021 • Slab promised: May 2021 • Slab poured: June 2022 • Handover: Dec 2023 — with over 80 pages of defects Now it’s May 2025, and I’m still chasing Fortune to fix the outstanding faults. Despite near-daily follow-ups, we get constant delays, broken promises, and unqualified tradies who sometimes ask me how to do the job. They leave a mess every time, with no cleanup in sight. I’ve now spent over $80,000 more than originally budgeted. What was meant to be a 6-month turnkey build has turned into a 4.5-year nightmare. This has been one of the most stressful, disappointing, and expensive experiences of my life. I wasn’t going to write a review, but after years of false hope and being ignored, I felt compelled to warn others. My advice: • Avoid Adelaide Building Consulting (ABC) — they don’t manage your build and vanish when problems arise. • Avoid Fortune Living — they do not deliver on quality, timelines, or contractual obligations. • Get independent inspections at every stage. • Never pay progress payments until defects are fixed. • Don’t make final payment until every issue is resolved. If this review spares even one person from going through what I have, it’ll be worth it. You’ve been warned. Fortune Living — if you’re reading this, finalise the outstanding faults and you’ll never hear from me again.

We recently built our home with Fortune Living and couldn’t be happier! From start to finish, Gurtej and the team were supportive and made sure our vision came to life. Any small adjustments needed after handover were taken care of quickly and professionally. The workmanship, communication, and follow-through have been fantastic, and we’re now enjoying our beautiful new home. Thank you to the whole Fortune Living team for making our dream a reality! Highly recommend.

Just want to share my experience about my recent house build.From the initial consultation to the final handover, the team at Fortune Living was exceptional. They went above and beyond to understand my needs and budget, and their communication was prompt and clear throughout the entire process. The quality of the materials used and the workmanship were outstanding, and they completed the build on time, even slightly ahead of schedule! We had a few minor issues that arose during construction, but they were addressed promptly and professionally. I highly recommend Fortune Living to anyone looking for a reliable and reputable builder

Thank you fortune for handing over house at right time and very good quality. I would recommend Fortune if you are building your own home. Definitely recommend Savan as site supervisor. Thanks a lot.

Fortune Living consistently delivered poor workmanship, constant delays, and unprofessional conduct. It was only through the intervention of government agencies like CBS that these serious issues were highlighted and addressed. Their involvement shows just how far this builder falls short of Australian building standards and legal obligations. Save yourself the stress, cost, and frustration—do not hire this builder.
