Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Sep 09, 2010 10:28 am Hi all, For the past day and a half during the time I can get on the computer at work. I am trying to search for threads. I’m looking for threads about what not to forget before contract signing, what extra's people had forgot but wished the didn’t. And also anything basically to look for before colour selection and tender so I make sure I don’t forget anything. I really feel stupid but I can’t for the life of me track anything down? Can somebody please refer me to any relevant threads etc? Thank you Re: I Going Crazy (PLEASE HELP!!!) 2Sep 09, 2010 3:22 pm I'm not sure what threads you can look at.....but from my experience with my builder in the last few weeks, I can recommend going over your contract 1 million times with a fine tooth comb and just when you think you haven't looked at it enough, go over it again. Make sure everything is worded exactly how you believe it should be and question everything! We thought we had gone over ours enough but our builder is still finding every loophole that he can to get out of everything we thought was clear. They are tight asses and want to do everything for nothing no matter what you think you've paid for. Seriously do not even get me started. Lisa- Finally in our house!!!

I didn't know about homeone prior to my build, but fortunately I had a number of friends who have gone through the process. Get lots of feedback from your friends, get them to go through your contract. And as mentioned previously, read, review and read more. Best of luck.
