Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Any experience with Gremmo Homes in Sydney 13Aug 05, 2019 11:02 am danc12 Hi DKT Before we signed we did a lot of reference checks and they were all good. They are very pedantic and thorough about the finished product. Our experience to date has been good. The owners are brothers, A is the builder, once you sign you deal with him. He is really Anal about making sure that the house will be secure and won't have problems. They have good subbies, they use the same subbies if they are building a 2 million dollar job or mine, a lot less than that. Progress to date: 1 The block has a lot of wet, its on Sandstone, so piering changed from standard piering to Grout injected, it costed more but was the right choice for the conditions. 2 A lot of hard clay was imported to provide an extremely hard base for the slab 3 Major channel up stream to divert any water away from the new house. These are all the variable site costs and they have worked hard to keep the cost down for me. A said that he works as though he was spending his own money. I feel that this is the case. My impression is that they are straight shooters, They have shown me the quotes that they get so i get a clear idea of actual cost to them. I have found that they put little or no markup on the site costs, the house is where they make their money not on the site costs. I feel it is important to build a relationship and they are good from that point of view. Slab will be down by Friday, that is the plan. There has been a lot of rain and this has thrown the schedule behind by about 2 weeks, but it seems to be Sydney throughout. So after the slab, the real fun begins but i feel good from what I have already seen. I am wanting to start a thread and put up photos if I can crack the tech. I will try and do something after the slab goes down. Dan Dear Dan, Sorry to bring up this old thread. I've been searching for people who had built with Merit Homes and it brought me to here. I found lots of the threads you posted in this forum are extremely helpful and wondering if you could share some of your experience regarding their build quality and accuracy of their quoation. Were you happy with their quality and if the finishes match up with the quality shown in their display home "The Elly" in Kellyville? What was the difference between their first quoation and the final quotation? How long did it take them to build and did they finish the building within the time frame stated on the contract? Thanks in avdance for your help! Kevin Hi All, I have been dealing with icare for insurance in completing our house after our original builder went bust.
