Browse Forums Building A New House Re: So many builders going bust, how's King homes/Fowler hom 11Aug 10, 2023 2:09 pm ponzutwo akuma69 yea what's scarying me is clauses like "we estimated best we could. if during construction we require more materials, this cost will be sent to customer". Because what if they just lie and say needed more a,b and c. No way for me to verify whether what they said is true or just extorting. too broad a clause. Without the ability to verify (due to fixed price contract) thats just a free pass to overcharge as they see fit. exactly! there are few like that. Which is why it makes me more nervous.

But first need to decide on a builder first right. Which builder to go with? Maybe. What if you choose a builder, spend months planning, pay deposit, get contracts and you don't like the clauses? I'd judges short listing some builders and getting coppi3d of their contracts special clauses for review if you're worried about the clauses. Re: So many builders going bust, how's King homes/Fowler hom 15Dec 14, 2023 10:41 pm akuma69 With so many builders going bust (eg allura homes), its scary to build at this time. Even big builders like metricon is no longer honoring their fixed priced contracts. https://www.news.com.au/finance/busines ... 7ca6fcdee3 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-07-27/ ... /102629928 For custom floor plans, what do you guys think of fowler homes and king homes? I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with them. They are pathetic with their customer service and you will end up losing patience. 1 9892 Anyone built with Fowler Homes? Feedback? Especially any things concerning or negatives? Have heard some horror… 0 9498 They already have two well known ones (HIA & MBA) that many new home buyers mistakenly think are regulatory bodies that Joe Public can complain to. 6 18220 |
