Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 24, 2022 9:15 am Hi We are considering a knockdown rebuild with Lily Homes after seeing a few of their plans in Box Hill and Leppington in NSW. We are quite happy with the plan and the sales representative so far. Pricing is a bit more than we expected, but can't fault them for recent price rises in construction costs. We don't have anything else to go by except their display homes, so wanted to check here if people have built with Lily in recent times and what their experience has been ? Cheers !

Please ping or message ecomitra - Sorry for seeing this late. We are currently looking at a few other builders and slightly smaller plans as well. Because the costs after premier inclusions, site costs , and other customisations is definitely over our budget. We did ask Lily for a few references of builds they have done, but were only allowed to drive past them, not much else. Re: Has anyone built with Lily Homes (NSW) in recent times ? 5Sep 02, 2022 8:05 pm I would be more than happy for you to view our home as a testament why you shouldn’t build with Lily Homes Re: Has anyone built with Lily Homes (NSW) in recent times ? 6Sep 06, 2022 4:33 pm Secondbuild I would be more than happy for you to view our home as a testament why you shouldn’t build with Lily Homes Thanks .. we had to put our plans on hold for now. Curious to know what your issues were with Lily if you can share. Re: Has anyone built with Lily Homes (NSW) in recent times ? 7Oct 12, 2022 2:50 pm Hi, we are looking into building with Lily Homes too, a custom design home because of the restrictions of our block and building envelope etc. The sales process was really good, the sales guy was really good, and responsive however things changed from then on. The next step for the Preliminary Tender had us with nearly triple the site costs the sales guy had advised us on and prices just keep going up. Now we are at tender acceptance stage and not happy with some of the conditions Lily Homes is adding to contravene some of the standard Liability Clauses of the HIA contract to reduce their liability and delay rates etc and a few other things. This seems consistent with what I read in an older thread about LH. I would be very interested to hear from Second build if possible, please but also understand if Superstart123 ended up going ahead with Lily etc. I am at a position now that I am not getting good vibes and prepared to walk away and lose our initial deposit. We have built before (Wisdom Homes) and I work in the construction industry so this is not scared away easily. Thanks in advance for any feedback Building a Wisdom Prosperity 23 - http://erwisdomprosperity.blogspot.com/ Re: Has anyone built with Lily Homes (NSW) in recent times ? 8Nov 17, 2023 5:27 pm We are in the middle of a build with Lily Homes (Nov 2023) and are super impressed so far. Yes there was the usual additional site costs from their sticker price but we compared a number of builders and we had the same experience with all of them. No builder can include site costs in their base pricing. Some of the additional items were provisional estimates and most of them came in under the provisional estaimte. I think only 1 item went over their provisional estimates but this was because rock was found during stormwater installation so I cant fault Lily on this. Once they got into the building it went really smoothly, I gues that's because they are builders at their core. We are doing a knockdown rebuild with a Mayflower 25 duplex and haven't changed it significantly from their base design. Hopefully finished mid next year. Re: Has anyone built with Lily Homes (NSW) in recent times ? 9Apr 29, 2024 7:51 am What sort of additional site costs would one expect when building this house design with Lily? Obviously varies greatly site-to-site, but what sort of buffer should we allow here? Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently. We have signed mid range built contract but identified that a lot of things are not included.… 0 1536 Hi Minho I have heaps of experience in Ku-ring-gai with both DAs and CDC ( this is the main area we build in).
