Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Aug 12, 2023 9:07 am It's troubling when an independent building and renovation forum starts censoring member content. I previously posted a "reference check" in June 2022 regarding this builder based on local "chatter". A follow-up was posted a year later based on public information and verified reference checks highlighting multiple past, present and future proceedings in all of the tribunals and courts listed below and removed without any consultation. - Domestic Building Disputes Resolution Victoria (DBDRV) - Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) - Magistrates Court Victoria (MCV) - County Court of Victoria (CCV) - Supreme Court of Victoria (SCV) You owe it to your members to please explain HomeOne? Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 2Sep 27, 2023 3:40 pm It is understood that the director of first avenue homes extended a new slab out another 500ml with out a building permit and the property has now been sold with defective works The building surveyor should have picked this up Hopefully they are held accountable Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 4Sep 27, 2023 4:43 pm I’m hearing around the traps that they are going to go under soon and Apparently they have a high turnover of staff . I’ve heard they run a volume build style system with cheap materials Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 5Sep 27, 2023 7:17 pm I have never heard of them, but from this team photo they look like a friendly bunch Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Architectural Homes & Duplexes - specialising in custom designing homes to your budget Get a Free Onsite Consultation Today or send a PM for information, questions or advice. Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 8Oct 10, 2023 7:57 pm Ardo I do spot a rogue in that bunch. They have been known to not pay tradesman for works completed and make other trades falsify documents I wouldn’t be surprised if you see them on A current affair soon Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 9Nov 25, 2023 9:26 am I was a contractor for first avenue homes and can confirm that a lot of their clients end up taking legal action against them. I know of numerous tradies and clients that are taking legal action against this building company and not just in VCAT. If you are thinking of building with them, I would strongly suggest ignoring their flashy pictures flaunted on their business socials. The only projects that don’t take them 3 years to complete/have the contracts terminated are their own developments that they sell. So it seems like they just take on a lot of projects to get the cashflow for their own builds Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 10Dec 31, 2023 3:01 pm Quite a busy end of year for the team at First Avenue Homes... 👊 04/12/23 County Court 06/12/23 VCAT 07/12/23 VCAT 08/12/23 VCAT 14/12/23 Magistrate's Court Melbourne 15/12/23 Magistrate's Court Moorabbin 15/12/23 Magistrate's Court Moorabbin 18/12/23 Supreme Court Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 12Apr 09, 2024 5:20 pm Looks like they are still building..... 2/130 Dorset Road, Croydon, Vic 3136 - Townhouse for Sale - realestate.com.au Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 13Apr 30, 2024 8:43 am Not much building go on in Croydon given the project has been on hold for years. Not sure how First Avenue Homes has time to build anything when it has four active civil trials and two active criminal proceedings already locked in for 2024. Probably explains why so many of their projects, other than their own developments, are stalled, terminated or take three years to complete and are handed over leaking like colanders. Surely the VBA is going to step in soon... Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 14May 12, 2024 10:22 pm Does it have four active civil trials and two active criminal proceedings already locked in for 2024? First Avenue only care about their own development. The photos on their facebook are all from their own development. They are careless for the construction done for clients.

COULDN'T AGREE MORE Re: First Avenue Homes Experience 17Sep 20, 2024 8:48 am Couldn't agree more. Watching FAH try to reinvent itself with fake Google reviews from contractors, real estate agents and imaginary profiles, in an attempt to rehabilitate its reputation is pathetic to watch. I would have thought it a lot less stressful and more profitable not to shaft contractors and build things right in a timely manner the first time. Did you see FAH has another criminal hearing with Bayside in the Magistrates Court locked in for early 2025?
