Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 22, 2010 12:57 pm Hi all, I am completely new to this forum. Hubby and I are thinking of building instead of buying an establish house. This will be our first home. We are considering SOR - Canningvale, Huntingdale, Southern River etc. We met with a builder called Taurus Homes. Wondering if anyone has any experience with them? They were established in 2005. Being a fairly new company,we thought they would be keen to get a good name and hence provide good service. The consultant seemed quite honest - gave us $ figures for everything whenever we asked as supposed to HBC who wouldn't give us any figures and kept saying "depends on what u want" even for pricing for standard specs! We liked HBC coz their plans are nice and they specialise in first homebuyers. But Taurus are cheaper (they even provide ducted air con for $1 and include Garage in all their plans) - that's a couple of thousand $ difference already... We would appreciate any help you can provide.

I have seen one of there display homes though in Bletchley park and I just loved it - it really stood out from the 20 other displays I saw that day. It has since been closed and sold off. There is someone a few doors down from us who has just started with Taurus, slab has just been poured I'm looking forward to going for a sticky beak when they get some walls up. Sorry I'm not much help , hopefully someone else has heard more about them. Re: Taurus Homes 3Feb 23, 2010 11:03 am Hi Shell83, Thanks for the reply!! I suppose its a good thing that no one has been complaining about them! I loved the display home as well ! I would be interested to know how it goes for your neighbours!

Also haven't found any feedback about them on the web.
