Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3911Jun 08, 2016 10:27 am Our blinds were initially replaced due being faulty. They had awful pressing marks at the base near the rods and did not go all the way down to the bottom of the window sill. Even though they've been replaced they still have these press marks! Some blinds are worse than others. I'm still considering raising the issue again with the warranties department. Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3912Jun 08, 2016 10:45 am tarajbrown have you had your colour selection appointment? I've read somewhere that hbc have hanged their colour schemes. Not sure what the new ones are but would love to see pics of them. When you go in fort our colour apointments make sure you clarify what colour the microwave tower will be as we had an issue with ours which thankfully HBC acknowledged that they had made the mistake and has since rectified it. Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3913Jun 08, 2016 10:58 am Just an update for everyone as we've been our house for close to 6 months now. We're so happy and love it. Our house is perfect and we've had no issues. The only thing we would have changed or should have done was have a small window on our front door to let in some natural light. We initially didn't want a door with large windows as neither of us want people looking in. Lol....say of we want to hide when we're home. We will eventually get a new door with a small window most likely frosted.

I am signing my PWC in Sunday. I'll take some photos for you! And thank you for the heads up, I'll be sure to remember this as I don't want my microwave tower to be white. Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3915Jun 09, 2016 10:09 am so we got the final invoice last night!!! Very exciting. All the items on our Darbecca inspection report have been rectified except one, which might take two weeks... and we're out of our current house next weekend so could mean a few nights in a hotel or (the horror) staying with family. Wish us luck! Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3918Jun 09, 2016 12:08 pm Congrats puglover! Wishing you all the best. Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3919Jun 09, 2016 12:10 pm thanks everyone - and I want to say the final inspection report was excellent, I think 24 items most of them very minor. My friend built with Simonds and had HUNDREDS of defects so I'm very pleased. Re: Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA? 3920Jun 11, 2016 8:39 pm Hi everyone, new to the forum.
