One other point which I was pleasantly surprised with is that Dennis Family will allow you to amend their plans provided that you do not move a load bearing wall. We are building the Stanthorpe with DFH and noticed that the design did not have an alfresco, however did have a lounge room, family room and games room. We decided that we did not need the lounge room and was able to convert this room into an alfresco which was under the roofline and in close proximity of the meals and family room areas. Kell, just out of curiousity where are you building. We are building in Taylors Hill. Regards, NoviceBuilder Re: National Builders or Dennis Family 23Mar 10, 2009 11:41 pm My neighbour is building with NB. I noticed nothing has happened during the last two months. Construction was started about six months ago.... it’s not even halfway through. Don’t think this is a good sign, I’ll certainly keep away from this kind of middleman 'builders'. Re: National Builders or Dennis Family 24Mar 12, 2009 7:31 pm We are building with NBG in regional Victoria and have no complaints so far. We have just had our slab poured. The whole process so far has been v. good, right from when we first looked at the display home.
Site costs were reasonable, making changes to plans was not a problem and the inclusions and bonuses were fantastic. Color selection was great - put up for the night in a motel, free meals, help from color consultant. We have a local builder who uses local tradies and so far we are happy. Re: National Builders or Dennis Family 25Feb 01, 2010 11:28 pm I am also currently divided between NBG and DFH. I especially like the fact that evaporative cooling, vacuum system and a bunch of other stuff are standard in NBG. NBG also emphasized to me that they use bigger pillars and place them denser -- I don't know whether this is true. What is interesting is that NBG has actually won the Australian Achiever Award in 2007. Nevertheless, the negative things said here are putting me off NBG...
