With kichen layout, I've just realised that I should ask for 700mm fridge depth instead of 650mm that Wisdom included. (i'm thinking to get double door fridge). Do u think it's still possible to change it? Is there any cost involve? Thanks, mate! Re: Wisdom Homes WHY, WHAT, WHERE and HOW 13Jan 28, 2012 11:59 pm Hi Colt, Just to advise that we got the 700mm fridge depth changes without any charge as per BP emails last week. Very happy about this, although it took them almost 2 months to answer me this. But at the moment, am so not happy with Wisdom's progress in handling my paperwork/admin. Fyi, on 24 Nov 2011 : Council approved our plan. Then admin said they're waiting for waterboard, a week later was told it was rejected but didn't tell us what's the cause. 2nd week in Dec 2011 : was told couldn't make it for site cut that year but paperwork will be wrapped up in Dec & ready to go by mid Jan 2012 when you guys come back. Fast forward to 18 Jan 2012 : was emailed the extra $5900 additional piering for rainwtr tank & also extra $$ for paperwork due to rainwatertank in zone of influence. Was so upset cause Wisdom was the one who put that tank there, we requested to move it somewhere else to avoid ridiculous extra piering, and luckily the admin girl BP quickly organised the redrawing & waterboard approval came in 1 day. Now Wisdom still can't give me when the siteworks will start. Apparently they still need 7 more days to determine for any additional cost for relocating watertank. Are they kidding me?? 7 more days?? Do they realize 1 week equal to $520 interest rate for us?? We weren't given the best rainwater tank location & now we have to pay extra $$ for these?? It's been 6-7 weeks (this is Not include Xmas break) now since our plan was approved by council & I think we are patient enough.... So , Please tell me, What should we do? Re: Wisdom Homes WHY, WHAT, WHERE and HOW 15Apr 16, 2016 12:11 pm Hi, We're currently building with Wisdom and it is giving us a HEADACHE. It's already the 8th month of construction and the work is still NOT DONE. Sure, they do do the work but half the time the house is just there with nothing going on. Neighbouring houses that started construction 2 3 months after us are already moving in. This is very very silly of us NOT noticing the Building Period is missing in the contract. My question is, what is the normal Building Period and what actions can be taken if Wisdom goes over this period? Re: Wisdom Homes WHY, WHAT, WHERE and HOW 16Apr 22, 2016 12:16 am Hi All We are also building with Wisdom and it's also giving us a HEADACHE. I should of trusted product reviews website with all the negative reviews if you have noticed Wisdom have shut them out with legal threats. We TOO were very very SILLY and it was very very CHEEKY of Wisdom to leave out the Building Period when we signed the Contract. It's also coming to the 8th month of our construction during the Sales we got a schedule that says 26-30 weeks building period, that's 6 - 7 months so we are due past as well. Half way through out construction we changed site supervisors and also noticed there is only tradies at work a few days a week. I agree half the time nothing going on and blaming shortage of materials, but I think they just have too much work going on and not enough contractors to complete the work. If you have the money and land size don't build with Wisdom sure they are cheaper and the house designs are more practical, but I think just the quality and professionalism of them is lacking. It took them weeks just to make a simple design change on the plans and they still got it wrong.
