Land deposit paid: 17th Nov 16 Build contract signed: 17th April Land settled: 16th June Building approval: 23rd June All variations finalised and documents handed over to the construction team: 4th July How exciting! How have you found the process so far with Ausbuild? Could I ask what extras/modifications you Went itch and what your final price was? We're interested in the Dalton 30 and trying to work out whether we can get it and some changes into our budget. Any advice would be great. Thanks! Teva Re: Building with Ausbuild- Enclave Gumdale 6Jul 10, 2017 3:24 pm The process with Ausbuild has been not too bad. We had a couple of minor hick-ups but they were willing to fix them on our direction. We changed a few things, upgraded on most things as we are building for ourselves and not for investment, but a few notable things were added an extra shower, changed the direction of the stairs, changed the ensuite layout, added 40mm benches and cabinetry throughout including to the butlers pantry. we could've saved $50k if we did not upgrade.

On 17th July I had to ask them to stop because I was getting no response from the bank for the last week or so. Finally after a lot of pushing, NAB gave the go ahead and the build commencement approval letter on Thursday (20th) but by this time I was off the building queue. So now I've been waiting for Ausbuild to tell me what my new slab date will be. Was almost there!!!

Do you meet your SS often? I've only met ours once. Also how often do you get access to your build? I have met my SS about 4 times during my build, 2 of them were by appointments and 2 by accident when I bumped into him while I was on site checking out the build. I drive by my site every couple days since its on the way to work and I live close by, but generally you can only access outside of the site because it's fence off, I've only been in it when the tradie need to confirm with some stuff. I found that Ausbuild works differently to others I have seen on here where you can communicate with the SS but with them you will need to go to your admin clerk and book in an appointment which I find can be hard at time when you just want to get a simple answer, it just their company policy.

Also comparing them from 3 years ago, they are very difficult to deal with now it seems (I live an an Ausbuild estate developed 3 years ago). They currently seem to be rejecting my simple requests like having some soil delivered in the back corner before the fences go up(as I have limited side access). I'll need a few truck loads of soil as My back yard is 15m long and 13m wide with only a 1.75 side acces to get through to the back yard so I explained them about this and asked if I can get some soil deliverd to any back corner at their convenint day/time before the actual fence (included in my contract) go up. But they rejected they request without any explanation. All I keep getting from them is the management is saying "no". I was very pleased with them all along until the last week or so they are being a bit unreasonable.
