Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Premier Builders Group 10May 02, 2007 9:37 am I have this response from Carlisle Homes when I asked why didn't they want to buid in inner city:
"We only build in the outer suburbs our pricing and ability to construct in a timely manner is why we stick to these areas." Not sure what that means but I think what they are saying is they have better control when building in the outer region therefore can offer better pricing. But why is that they will have less control in inner city? Beats me. What is frustrating is that many of these builders do not state that they don't build in inner city clearly or upfront. It is only after you have spent some time (totally wasted) looking at their homes and talked to the sales people then you found out. Not sure if there are any regulations against refusing to build in inner city or at least requiring them to state the restriction on their website and display homes. Good luck with your new homes. Re: Premier Builders Group 11May 02, 2007 12:06 pm Hi Bessie,
Our house is based on the original Gracemere floor plan with study option, however we have requested changes such as a larger garage - extra metre wide, enclosed toilet in ensuite, additional picture rails, different doorway for lounge, weatherboard frontage extended over garage etc and have been told that this is not a problem, providing changes are done before contract signing. Premier appear to be very flexible and easy to deal with. We did really like the Hawthorn attic but preferred to have a single story house. I'll be interested to hear how you go with your project if you decide to proceed with Premier. leajoh Premier Builders Group 12Jun 30, 2007 9:55 pm Hi,
New at this site and hubby and I are considering building through Premier Builders Group. I was just wondering how people had found them so far, as the first posts went up in April. Any information would be greatly appreciated as we are complete newbies to all this and feel a bit out of our depth. Thanks, Binny Re: Premier Builders Group 13Jun 30, 2007 10:05 pm Hi binny and welcome....
Hopefully there will be some further experience to be shared with these builders since these posts... Good Luck! Re: Premier Builders Group 14Oct 10, 2008 5:19 pm Hi,
we are considering building the Yarra Studio. We were really taken by the Hawthorn Attic, and had our hearts set on it. But, we were worried about the estate we were building in that it may be the "odd house out". Then, we discovered the Yarra Studio, which is the exact same floor plan as the Hawthorn Attic, only with a larger Master Bedroom which we loved. After seeing that house, we switched from the Hawthorn to the Yarra, because we loved the floorplan anyway. Really we have just changed facades, and the inside isnt "cottage like". Im really looking to find somebody else who has built the Yarra Studio to see how theirs has turned out. Good luck with Premier. So far I have found them to be very helpful.
