Hi JaxCook, we found that things really slowed down at the end as we were waiting on our garage door and this put things at a standstill. Our bank also slowed things down too by taking their time with their valuation and processing the final payment however we FINALLY had handover on Thursday and had our first night there last night. Well worth the wait!
Anyone building with Homebuyers Centre in VICTORIA?

It is ridiculous when we are close to the end. Waiting for email back on Monday and we will see....
I have put some pics on the blog if anyone wants to look (you don't have to read it, I just find it easier to add pics there!)

Can you repost your link to your blog?
How exciting spending your first night there, congratulations!!!

There should be a link down the bottom of my post that will take you there x
We have had a long wait but have finally heard that our land will be titling soon. (titles are at the titles office). I contacted Hbc as we were told builders could do their soil tests but HBC won't do it until the title is confirmed. Has anyone else had this issue? We know people who have had their soil tested and submitted the plans to the developer for approval. But HBC won't.
We are becoming increasingly disenchanted with them and actually went looking at other builders today.
Please tell me it's worth staying with them.
We just love our house.
I know 2 houses here have gone on hiatus. Both through Porter Davis. Their building sites were absolutely shocking. 1 has gone through 3 site supervisors. Feel really bad for the owners.
Another house has had several problems.as.well. I can't remember the builder at all. Trying hard to think.
Henley and Vue did well.
Our build went very well.
Few things private inspector found however that's normal.
Puglover - will you be having laminate flooring? Our pugs claws make the most awful sound whilst walking on it!
We upgraded to hard wood floors but their paws will made the same noise. We live in a townhouse with laminate now so we're used to it. Apparently you can get little shoes for them though - how cute would that be!!!
Hi Thee, we've been in our house for 3 months and are so happy.

I'm shocked to hear about Porter Davis! We almost went with them, we liked their two story four bed townhouses but they were such small rooms we opted out.
We also spent time considering Simonds (their sales person harassed us for MONTHS) and then we heard from our friends who had a horror build and are going to appear in VCAT soon. Plus Simonds online reviews are absolutely appalling. I've heard wonderful things about Henley, my friends raved about them and their home is gorgeous. I've had one mate build through Metricon and it was okay, and another through Dennis Family which they said took a long time due to delays but the final result was good.
Overall so far I've been happy with HBC, our last inspection report was great - very small things needed rectification - and their way of handling it was very professional. HBC's hands are generally tied until you settle on the block of land, but once you settle things move quickly.
So it's something that you get used too? It's driving us crazy as we previously had tiles at our rental. I might need to look into some little shoes although it might be challenge keeping them on his feet!
we did get used to it, even the baby doesn't notice it. Now when they're gone I miss the noise
Simonds....that's it. Yah there online reviews are horrifying!
There are HUNDREDS of horrible reviews, I mean surely they must be mortified but they don't seem to be doing anything about it. The first thing I do before using a company is search for online reviews. For every good Simonds one there is 20 bad ones!
