Osvids you seem to have an answer for everything...just like Oracle.
However they couldn't answer me this, surely you can? Why does the home across the road from me have frames up when they received all their approvals the same dates as me? I had nothing go wrong with any of the paperwork, I provided everything before they needed it. I still have nothing happening on my land? We are close apparently, they are saying we are in construction stage but still nothing? Still no phone call from SS, I know I will have to ring to follow up AGAIN.
Our solicitor advised that we are now able to serve notice on them as they have gone over their commencing work within 20 days & will be able to get all monies returned. We are in a position to do this because this company can't follow their own contract.
All we can do is share our experience but I would just hate to be the one to say to you after reading all of this, then paying your deposit is...I told you so.

Why is when someone states the bloody obvious they get labelled as mean, rude and whatever other labels you have there? I'm not on here to hand you a box of tissues, that solves nothing.
I was simply stating jumping in without reading your damn contract is the stupidest thing you could have done. Then blame everyone else but themselves, even worse.
If you don't like where you build is going, go get your money back. Look on the bright side, at least you read your contract and you know they're in breach, do something about it if you think you can. My bet is you'll just put up with being on the side line because you know how much you'll save building with them? That and the fact you don't want to start again. Perhaps the latter more so right?
To be honest, yours and the others bad happenings with oracle has me really nervous.... All I've done is lock in the current pricing by paying 1750 deposit. It's fully refundable. If we back out and they play silly buggers we'll just let the QBCC or relevant authority deal with them. It will be a lesson learned. But what are we all meant to do really? Think about it for minute. How many people on here have had such major issues with Oracle that they regret every instance of their build? how many? 4? 5? 7? Out of how many? 60? 90? 112? You see, it's human nature to vent and talk up when things go wrong. This thread is simple to find, so what I'm saying is, if Oracle were that bad, going around ruining the lives of everyone they encounter, where are these people? This leads me to believe these are isolated events and the NSW merge caused most of not all of these problems. In other words, the internet makes things look far worse than they really are because the people who did build with them who had no problems are not bothered to post in here and rub your faces in it.. are they? So... it's biased.... The problems presented here don't represent the vast majority.. You guys might be at present, 2% of the total... Look at the QBCC data, it doesn't lie. Heck, some of the others have a worse track record with more complaints, yet held in a higher regard because productreviewcom.au etc. Llook them up for yourself, Oracle is pretty squeaky clean with 1 SINGLE order from QBCC in 2011, that's it... Remove that one ticket and they're perfect.. but yes I know they're not, nobody is.
I feel sorry for you and anyone else who's having problems, but feeling sorry for you doesn't fix anything, nor does it paint a clearer picture of what might be going on. I'm looking beyond these isolated problems to try and find some clarity and see the bigger picture, not just for me and my peace of mind but for others thinking of using them also.
