Love the look of one of their homes (Carolina) but would love to be able to take on the work post lock up stage. I’m assuming low to zero chance but worth checking with the homeone brains trust Re: Montgomery Homes Lock Up Only 2Apr 10, 2021 1:25 pm Wegzmatt Hey folks, Does anyone know if Montgomery Homes has done / will do a lock up only option. Love the look of one of their homes (Carolina) but would love to be able to take on the work post lock up stage. I’m assuming low to zero chance but worth checking with the homeone brains trust Hi Wegzmatt Maybe a dumb question, but have you asked Montgomery? Alternatively, and I am sure you have thought this through, why don't you just get your plans drawn up and either owner build or get a local builder to get you to lock up. There aren't too many trades you need up to get you to lock up, finishes are much more difficult so if you feel confident in project managing your own finishes you can easily get yourself to lockup. If you're in Sydney I would be more than happy to help you with trade recommendations.

Haven’t asked yet but will be - just wanted to see if anyone had done this with them before so I had any examples at hand Here's another question to ask If they take items out of the display price, do they keep the profit mark-up and hand back their cost only? Though I do agree to lock up is the way to go, make sure you have your own design/engineering and a fair indication of the costings Cheers Chris Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Montgomery Homes Lock Up Only 5Apr 14, 2021 4:14 pm StructuralBIMGuy Here's another question to ask If they take items out of the display price, do they keep the profit mark-up and hand back their cost only? More than likely even less than that. Eg: if builders cost price is $1,000 and they are charging you $1500 you would be lucky to get back $500.
