Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Sep 28, 2010 8:58 pm We have just started our custom build and our contract term is 40 weeks. Am just curious how long other builders contracts are? In particular I am interested in Clarendon, McDonald Jones and Masterton as these homes are being built next to ours. Thanks Re: How long is your building contract? 2Sep 29, 2010 1:00 pm We are building with a small custom builder and our term is 14 months although 9 months is what he anticipates. Re: How long is your building contract? 3Sep 29, 2010 1:13 pm Our contract through Henley for a 32sq house was 270 days (9 months). We were in 2 weeks short of the contract finish date. Felt like the build went for about 2 years though Re: How long is your building contract? 4Sep 29, 2010 1:30 pm Ours is 240 days (8 months) - Boutique builders - and it's day 20 - not that I'm counting!!!! 220 to go.

We were in 2 weeks short of the contract finish date. Felt like the build went for about 2 years though Ours is 260 through Henley. Was yours over Dec/Jan when they take a break? (Sorry - too lazy to check your thread!) And if so was this included in the 260 days, or was it 260+ break? viewtopic.php?f=31&t=37229 - our Iris 4!

I believe other double story homes with c are about the same. Where are you building? And have your neighbours started? [i][b]Krissy & Dave Re: How long is your building contract? 17Oct 01, 2010 8:13 pm We're building in Luddenham in Western Sydney. Looks like the Masterton house next to us has been pegged out, but none of the others have started. We started last week. I am keen for those around us to be finished before ours is, so there's not as much dust etc around, but like everyone else I want to be in our house tomorrow....
