Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 30Jul 03, 2016 11:02 pm Hi. I see its been 9 months since I last posted on here, when we signed our contract. Well we have finally reached site start! The delays have been a combination of bad real estate agents trying to sell our existing home, bad brokers such as RAMS that take forever to arrange a loan then come back with contracts that are wrong so I started all over again with Westpac..., and then also disorganised office administration at Ashford Homes and a lot of back and forth before plans are perfect. I've created a blog for interested followers if you want to follow our journey. http://www.thebuildingjourney.wordpress.com . How is everyone else going with your builds ? Finished yet? Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 31Jul 10, 2016 7:45 pm Hi Noni_77, we have just started building with Ashford Homes. We signed up two years ago but had a very long delay on our land titles. Site start was the start of April, then we had to wait 5 weeks between scrapping and slab. I have NO idea why, Ashford have been very bad at communicating! Slab was poured on a Monday and by the Friday half of the frame was up. That was 4 weeks ago and now nothing... Apparently there is a delay with steel, so they can't complete the frame yet. It has been very frustrating. I'm hoping to start my own thread soon of our build. Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 32Jul 19, 2016 1:56 pm Hi Noni_77. We started at the end of January and the build was progressing quite well. However, we lost our Site Supervisor to other sites about 5 weeks ago (someone else resigned so things got shuffled) and unfortunately not much happened during that time. We have a new SS as of last week though so I am crossing my fingers that things get back on track. It has been 5.5 months and we are at the last stage - painting, tiling, carpets, electrical, brick cleaning etc still to go. The last few weeks have been stressful as our landlord wants us out asap and with no action on the house we have felt a bit helpless. I am happy with the quality so far. Will do another update when I have some news.

Hi Party_of_5, How are you progressing? Are you in the Northern suburbs? Still nothing Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you.
