This thread may draw attention to some of you, in addition to the last thread made about Marshall Baker Homes. If you are not already aware, Marshall Baker Homes is now liquidated and bankrupt. Lets get to the point. Are you wondering WHO bought the company? Was come across an advertisement in the HOME Magazine in Saturday Herald Sun today. FORMULA HOMES bought Marshall Baker Homes. And I just cannot believe it. They have included the PORT DOUGLAS and DAINTREE as a part of a new series - RESORT SERIES. I was familiar with the photograph of Marshall Baker's style, on a Formula ad. What do you guys all think of this? I find it rather bazaar and strange.

Formula Homes as far as I know did not buy MB Homes. If they did then they would be finishing off houses for those who were already building with MB Homes, and they are not. I will say though right now I am pretty disgusted with the building industry having just seen the advertisement. Whilst there are plenty of people out there who had started building with MB Homes who have been left in a bad situation, another company can come in and start selling those exact same houses without one bit of concern about those who have been left with nothing but stress and financial issues to deal with, whilst not even knowing when our houses (that have just been sitting there for months) will be finished. Re: EXTRA EXTRA! ..........? Has Bought Marshall Baker Homes 4Sep 21, 2008 3:21 pm does anyone or has anyone contacted formula homes to gauge the price as to what they are selling the marshall baker homes for?
it would be interesting to see if the prices change from their mb prices. cheers Re: EXTRA EXTRA! ..........? Has Bought Marshall Baker Homes 5Sep 21, 2008 6:31 pm Hi Mattydals
Here are the prices detailed in the advertisement for Formula Homes. Resort Living (which includes Port Douglas and Daintree) is priced from $164,900 to $214,900. Port Douglas 34 $214,900 Aspen 26 $164,900 So the others are in between those prices. Interestingly, MB prices in 2006 for the Port Douglas 34 was $229,900 ad the Port Douglas 30 was $219,900. So not sure if Formula Homes is cutting back on the spec somewhere. Re: EXTRA EXTRA! ..........? Has Bought Marshall Baker Homes 6Sep 22, 2008 8:11 am hi photogirl, thanks for that.
we had signed up to build the daintree 30 before MB went bust. we've signed up with another builder, and we're really happy, but it would be interesting to compare what formula offer and the price difference between what we would have been paying with MB. cheers Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently. We have signed mid range built contract but identified that a lot of things are not included.… 0 640 I work with owner, he/she is my man on the ground and I instruct them when to visit the site and take photos and I have other tools in the bag. 4 15244 |
