Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Custom Home Builders in Sydney – Has anyone used one? 76Aug 05, 2019 9:42 am Casa2 Hi BuildingNewHome, I used Merit Homes, which were not on my original list. The house was finished 3.5 years ago and I am very happy with the result. I can certainly recommend Merit Homes and I woudl think they can meet your budget. Cheers, Casa Hi Casa, Sorry to bring up the old thread. I'm in the same boat as you were 11 years ago. I'm going to build a home with my own design from a home designer. I like the quality that I see from Merit's display home in Kellyville and am very keen to build with them. I had a meeting with Darren last week and told him of my budget $1m. He told me he should be able to build a home for 50 squares with larger portion of garage (4 car garages). As budget contraint is the main issue for me so I abosolutely don't want to go over my budget too much (2-3% is ok for me). I know you've been very happy with Merit's build quailty but wondering if you could share some of your experience regarding the budget? Did your final cost go over the final quote from them? What's the difference between your first quote,final quote and the actual cost? I know they charge 5% deposit after first quote (if I get them to design the home for me). I'm a bit worried about the risk of getting stuck after paying $50k deposit and end up finding the final quote is much higher than first quote and not able to afford that. Do you have any suggestions regarding keeping the cost within their quoted price? Thanks in advance! Kevin Re: Custom Home Builders in Sydney – Has anyone used one? 77Aug 05, 2019 9:50 am BuildingNewHome Thanks Casa, Our initial thought about Merit Homes is they are on the upper end of the market. We will have a second look. Thanks for your response. Can anyone recommend other builders? Dear BuildingNewHome, Sorry to bring up the old thread. Did you end up building with Merit or someone else? I've been talking with some of the customer builders at Kellyville including Young, Ellandra, Bardane and Merit, and Merit is at the top of my list. If you end up building with them, it'd be appreciated if you could share some of your experience. Thanks Kevin Hi All, we are starting to think of building with Masterpiece Builders in Victoria, has anyone had any feedback or experience with them 0 13567 4 14258 Thank you so much. This has been very helpful. We definitely wish to settle and get these people out of our life. They are trying to charge us interest on late… 7 14242 |
