*initial costings (not coatings)

https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/96300_1610350409.jpeg Can we push back on this? It seems every second week we are sent an email indicating that something was missed in the initial coatings. When we asked them to extend the alfresco, the manager gave us a quote which was reasonable so we asked them t...

Our project builder has quoted a Provisional Sum of $14000 for our septic. The next door neighbour just got a quote for $8500 (similar block to ours). A family friend in the industry also mentioned that we should be able to get one for under $10k. When I queried the sales person, she said that the $...

I wholeheartedly agree! If I were to say to one of my customers, “I want you to buy from me but I’m not going to show you the range until you pay me a fee” then I would receive a pretty nasty letter from department of Fair Trading. You are right - There is NOTHING in the booklets regarding the brick...

Great advice. Thank you. We’ve picked up a number of errors in the initial communications so are particularly cautious moving forward. The industry seems to be in need of regulation that’s for sure.

Thank you for your advice. Haven’t signed yet.

Interested to hear thoughts on concrete or fibreglass pool on H2 soil?

For people inexperienced with building a new home, who can we engage to have our contract reviewed? We have a conveyancer for the land but do they look after build contracts too?

Considering it. Have paid the deposit but a few hiccups this week have us hesitating.

Thanks for sharing your journey. We have accepted a tender with Stylemaster and after a few hiccups this week, are having second thoughts. One of my concerns is the appliances. Did you go with Blanco and if so, how is the dishwasher and oven? There are some shocking reviews out there.

Thank you. A well learned lesson for us!

Thanks everyone. I responded to the email querying the discrepancy between what the sales person said about the price rise in person and via email. I also asked about the process of getting our deposit back if these issues (there were a few other mistakes and I wasn’t allowed to choose a white paint...

I signed off on our tender with Stylemaster on 24/06. At the time the salesperson said that we’d just missed a price increase. A few days later I popped in to sign off on some variations before it went to contract. I’ve been waiting a little over a week since then. This afternoon I received an email...

Oh ok. Sorry I couldn’t help

HI all, I put a 5% deposit on a vacant land in Eden, North Kellyville . Developer's plan was to register by September 2020. My question is, if the market falls significantly due to corona virus recession, can I renegotiate the price? Is it normal for developer to change the price due to market circ...

First time posting, first time building. We have accepted our quotation on Stylemaster WRI223 and are just about to finalise land again. (We has land lined up but the agent sold it even though we’d placed a deposit to “secure” the block while we review the contract). We’ve never built before and the...
