We threatened them with consumer affairs, and... We went back to our builders! We put in a complaint with them and advised that we had booked this ******* company in good faith because the builders had used them for the boundary fences, and our experience with the builders was awesome. We told them we thought this was a big mistake, and forwarded the entire email trail with all the abuse included! They were appalled and speechless, and took it up on our behalf, as they had booked in the boundary fences! The company has now agreed to refund the deposit (this was Wednesday), but so far has not happened, but I'll give it a few days for processing before I 'harrass' them to ask what's happening... Quote: I am a bit confused. Has this company done any work at all? You said the fence has been built, but you are just waiting for the gate. If you have only paid a deposit, did you at least get your deposits worth of work? buildingwithhamra - Yes, I know, very confusing! The boundary fence that was built was paid by our builders, as it was included in our HL Package. So we didn't actually have to fork out any separate cash for that job, but we decided to book them to build us a gate and wing fence to block off the dead side too. This was about $880 - BTW, does anyone have an opinion on how reasonable this is? I've now started trying to book in another company to build our gate but the last quote we got from another local company was $990 for the gate alone! We didn't go with this based on the quote from ******* Brothers Who Shall Remain Nameless... Quote: In the end we used John & Terry who are handymen from the Grey Army, who supplied a reasonable quote & delivered an excellent job in the end. We got in touch with them through the western / northern suburbs office. Wow, thanks James... I'll look into it as we are now thinking that my husband will build it himself, but if these guys give us a reasonable quote, it would save him the trouble (enough to do, working full time etc etc). Do you know if they do paling as well as colourbond? I am looking at building a house. Has anyone used Construkt Homes (based in Adelaide)? Does anyone have experience with this builder? 0 6451 12 5335 Industry type domestic contracts are prepared by industry bodies for the benefit of the builders.
