the other builder we are considering so far is Eden Brae but their site costs and modification costs is too high and wisdom on the other hand is dearer in these sections plus the plan is pretty much the same for both. with wisdom we liked Aspiration and eden brae we liked metropoliton so we are finalizing between the 2 Re: Anyone building with WISDOM in Nelson reidge 4Feb 18, 2009 9:35 pm Steven We saw wisdom homes and liked it but was wondering on their experience with Holroyd council as what i had heard so far is they are a tough council to deal with and experience can always come handy the other builder we are considering so far is Eden Brae but their site costs and modification costs is too high and wisdom on the other hand is dearer in these sections plus the plan is pretty much the same for both. with wisdom we liked Aspiration and eden brae we liked metropoliton so we are finalizing between the 2 Give the Wisdom head office a call, they're a friendly bunch of people and you may even get the managing director to field your question. If you don't want to do that, give The Ponds display a call because those guys are quite fantastic with their knowledge.

Progress on our house has been seriously quick, and when there have been issues (as with any build) our site supervisor has sorted them out first time of asking without any quibling. It really has been a refreshing experience. Check our blog for more details if you like.
We also dealt with Eden Brae, but only at the pre sales stage. We found them to be extremely helpful too, but we would have had to wait too long before they could start our build so didn't proceed any further. I would say give Domenic at Wisdom a call and tell him you're undecided between Wisdom and Eden Brae and see what he can do for you. Good luck making your decision!

Re: Anyone building with WISDOM in Nelson reidge 7Jun 03, 2011 4:32 pm Hi, We are thinking of building with Cosmopolitan in Nelsons Ridge due to their present in the area. We spoke to their sales guy couple of times in New Roushill office and found him really helpful and knowledgable. We are looking at building Northcliff 30, we are happy with the design and everything. Plus cosmo is also giving us fixed price quote which includes, lights, drive ways, all the floorings (tiles downstaris & carpet upstairs), blinds, solar system. So we pretty much have to move in once they are finished. Only the front fencing and landscaping is not covered. For me and my wife, we don’t have much knowledge of building process so we thought this is good if they do cover everything in fixed price. However, one thing we don’t like about Cosmo is their Fascade for Northcliff. They only have one fascade and it is also in the picture, not on display. We don’t like that fascade. Did anyone had this type of issues, and how did they overcome from it? Re: Anyone building with WISDOM in Nelson reidge 8Jun 03, 2011 10:32 pm We went with the most prolific builder in NR and they still got it wrong with council regs. Actually they realized their error just before submitting to council and months after we'd paid a deposit and had plans drawn based on the house plan they said was council compliant. I know of one wisdom home currently under construction in NR. Not sure if there are any others. As for the northcliffe, there are a number of changes you can make to the facade. We are going with the relatively ugly standard one due to budget but if you take a drive around the bottom End of the estate you'll see heaps of northcliffe currently under construction with different facades. Pretty much all are 22 sq but will give you an idea. Land at Chermside At tender stage Hi, guys!
