We were right at the beginning of the process when it all went down having just paid a $500 holding deposit. After the DOCA was signed and after many late nights of to-ing and fro-ing we took the plunge and are now building an Elizabeth at Wadalba. It looks like Westminster are keen as mustard to get ours completed as they are moving ahead at a cracking pace....the building seems to be happening completely independent of the payments - we can't keep up! After almost six months of waiting, in the space of the last two weeks they've laid the slab, had us in for our colour and tile selections and erected the frame!! I'd be interested in people's thoughts about timeframes from here. Anyone think we'll be in by Christmas? I'll keep you up to date as things progress.

We were very excited when there was finally some action on our site about six weeks ago. The slab, drainage, frame and plumbing have been done. The first course of bricks has been laid but now nothing is happening. We've been promised several times that the brickies will be there "tomorrow". My emails are not being answered and if I call I always get directed to M, not the staff member who was in charge of our job. I'm getting worried Re: Westminster Homes - The official thread 260Sep 03, 2009 10:22 am Forgot to add our first payment notice came before the slab was completed (we didn't pay until it was completed) and when it was time for the second payment we received a call to make sure we had received our invoice. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74719 I would never build with Fowler homes.
