Hi Guys , Nada is correct above. They have sneakily included this even I signed the tender Feb 2018, that time I am sure HBCF was included in the inclusion list. I will check once I am at home. What should I do here? Its $5800 not a small amount at all. Also similarly they had added another item fo...

Mallik, how much is your total tender price if not a secret. HBCF depends on the price of home. Mine is about $340,000 ...

@the dream, this is not even a gap, they are going to charge the full amount from me. Same for the tiles. We had $5000 for tile upgrade, Manago tile upgrade should include this but they have again charged me $5000 too. Guys, Kurmond contract lady says " The inclusions list is subject to change,...

Hi guys, we are also having a hard time with these people. It seems they don't need to finish construction plans any sooner. They say those still 4 weeks away. We signed the initial contract last Feb, now it is 8 months already, what a pain in the butt with these people, not asking anything but just...

@nada17 How is your work progressing at the moment? We had very stressful time with Kurmond homes. Kurmond CO is "complaining" us there are 8 jobs in front of our jobs to be finalized therefore our job will take at least 6 weeks to prepare the contract! The way she putting up things is lik...

@nada17 My experience with Kurmond home office people suggests they have mixed bag of people. Some really work hard and try to help people at their best, while some people even tend to blame their customers for their own delays and issues, and have "ball passing" attitude. For example, ou...

Thanks Mallik Just the delay in communications and the back and forward with odd changes, it seemed like every time there people looked at something either had to or was changed. I admit we really changed the base plan way back at the very start by adding over 100sqm, however the whole thing seemed...

Thank you for information on what happened in your case. I also hope they finally would build a good house

@J_C Welcome to Kurmond homes thread and also to the forum. It is so great to get to know someone else who is also building with Kurmond homes. Could I know exactly where the delays occurred? Was that the same case that Kurmond homes messed up your color selection? Keep with us and share your experi...

Hi Guys, I apologise that could not update you here for a while. I am still stuck with Kurmond's very depressive office work. DA and CC are already received a couple of weeks ahead. But still, the color selection process goes on. Apparently, there was some drama with the previous color selection lad...

Hi Guys, last week was a big week for us. Kurmond home became very active and completed several things last week. The CSO clarified all the questions I had with authority plans and also she correctly escalated the things to her manager that she can't provide an answer. And finally, she confirmed tha...

@nada17 Congratulations that you got your slab. Regarding my build, the CSO had sent some explanations why things were like that in the authority plans. I now understand some are reasonable explanations. But for some, she conflicts with her own people in Kurmond. For example, originally we needed an...

Re: Building Glenleigh with Kurmond Homes - my experiance...Building A New House

May 27, 2018 6:16 pm

Can I ask what the cost came back for your tender? Which version of Glenleigh did you end up with? @samanthaS forget about the tender cost, whatever it is there will be a big cost impact when color selection is done. For example bathrooms tiles are only upto 2.1m in shower areas and 1.2m on non sho...

Building Glenleigh with Kurmond Homes - my experiance...Building A New House

Mar 18, 2018 8:45 pm

Hi Everyone, This thread is to share my home building experience. I started the journey of building my home in Sep 2017. After visiting several builders at HomeWorld in Kellyville (NSW) we picked Kurmond homes just because we liked the design (floor plan) of Glenleigh. I hope to post the significant...

@nada17 shouldn't the fair trading be the last resort? How long did actually take it for you from the initial deposit? Anyways I am told that we will be assigned a color consultant this week. I started my process somewhere in last Nov (2017) and paid the initial deposit in 21st Nov 2017. It took a w...
