Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 18, 2009 10:59 am Hi All, As some may have read in my previous topic I've been having some big problems with my current builder and I'm looking to cancel the contract and change builders. Has anyone here had any experience with the Cavalier Homes franchise here in Newcastle? Any opinions on the build time and quality would be greatly appreciated so that I can avoid the mishaps I've had with the previous builder. Thank You!

They include site costs in their upfront quotes from memory so can be a little "gulping" when they talk prices but once you factor this in seems to be around the money for a private builder. There is a new home being built by them off Newcastle Rd at Waratah (near Christo Rd exit) - noticed it on Saturday. The other builder we spoke to was the Hotondo dealer at Charlestown - Cherry Road Constructions. They seemed to be on par with Hotondo from our initial conversations. Good luck - will watch your progress with crossed fingers. Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Anyone built with Cavalier Homes Newcastle? 3Oct 20, 2009 9:12 am Thanks Kyton, My girlfriend lives just around the corner from Christo Rd so I'll have to check the house out next time I'm over there! The architect I've been dealing with who initially recommended you-know-who suggested I try cancelling the contract over a month ago and changing to Cavalier but only told me it was because of other customers of his who were dissatisfied with you-know-who. Speaking of you-know-who, still haven't had any luck talking to a director, none of my calls are returned and they never seem to be in the office. Heading up there tommorrow to try to sort things out and meeting up with Cavalier on Saturday to talk prices and inclusions.
