We’re in Sydney planning to build the Miami 16 Executive in northern NSW with Brighton Homes. We are at colour selections and had two days in Brisbane- it was very rushed and at $93+ thousand price tag above consolidated tender price- the trip is now virtually useless because we think the prices are gouging us. Eg $827 per square metre for splash back- I’m not kidding! This tile was suggested by the design team to fit a Hamptons design. $3k for one appliance tower. $1500 surcharge to have a ‘white’ paint colour for architraves and skirts. I have found the whole experience so bad I don’t know how to keep going. It takes about 4-5 days to get answers from the studio on simple questions ...and some questions just don’t get answered. My phone calls always go to a voicemail so I’ve just about given up phoning. I’m nervous about being ripped off and want to engage with someone but they are always sooooo busy with other clients. I can’t jeep popping into the studio like the locals ....I’ve asked for phone appointments for 30mins- ignored. Soooo frustrated. Worst experience ever. How do I break through with this company???? As a Builder myself the thought of Variations haunts me to be honest, but only during construction is it a real costly problem. Pre construction it is usually a much simpler and cost effective way of working and the ideal way. I'm not familiar with how Brighton undertake their business or design options but I must agree some of the items you have raised such as an extra charge for white? $827m2 for a tiled splashback are very usual but if you have requested a particular mosaic or maybe an enamel paint then I would agree with the costs. Also the appliance tower let alone any joinery item will be costly : ) Be sure you have a clear understanding of what they are delivering prior to construction because changes later will be more costly and will also delay the job. If you need any further help happy to review it for you. Contract if the next key step, if it gets tp that PM me. Myles Clark Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 47245 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
