Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 11, 2010 8:37 pm Hi all, im new to this site... just been looking around for a couple of weeks, some really interesting and useful information on here. Just wondering if anyone is building or has built with Fairhaven. We are building the barwon and finally signed contracts. So excited and cant wait. Will start a thread soon on our progress. Cheers Belinda Re: Anyone building with Fairhaven homes 2Apr 11, 2010 11:03 pm Hi Belinda, YES we are building with Fairhaven ~ waving madly ~ thought no one would ask!! Also KJ_and_AJ on the forum are too, I think, but they are a way off as they are waiting for land to settle in Keysborough. Fairhaven have been brilliant to deal with. Very flexible and happy to make changes for us. So far all our delays have been due to our council ~ tedious stuff ~ all in our thread (see the link in our signature below). The Barwon is a gorgeous plan ~ and different ~ got a great feel to it too. Congratulations on signing contracts!! You are ahead of us already!! Go on, start a thread, can't wait to see it all.. ~ cheers, J _______________________________________________________________ We're a knockdown | rebuild ~ Melb SE burbs Building modified version of the Fairhaven Glenaire Homeone thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28429 _______________________________________________________________ Re: Anyone building with Fairhaven homes 3Apr 12, 2010 10:18 am No but I am a fellow neighbour http://burbankascent2500.blogspot.com/ https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28503 [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/] HOUSE COMPLETED IN 119 DAYS PCI Complete Handover 24th August Re: Anyone building with Fairhaven homes 4Apr 12, 2010 9:48 pm vanilla tree yeh they have been great..and very patient lol.. have just got permits and waiting on finance, then it all happens, we cant wait, first time building its so fun and exciting. pinkdiamond, cool nice to meet you, where abouts?

We loved the plan from about 2 1/2 years ago but couldnt find big enough land they then brought in the Barwon and I really liked that too. The level of finish in their display homes is great. We are itching to get started having signed the prelim 8 months ago when we bought the land. Our land got titled last month so hopefully we are close to contracts. How long did you take to get to contract stage and have you got an expected site start date? Building at Sierra Estate.

Congrats.. love the whistler floor plan as well but just fell in love with the barwon plan more lol, friends of ours are also building the whistler! We signed with fairhaven in oct 09, done 10 versions of prelims ( lots of changes and upgrades) this took time, tender 19th Jan, and contracts 6th April. Takes time in getting everything just right found out today tap is on our land and due do start in two weeks, we hope!!! Good luck and keep us informed of your process, fairhaven have been a pleasure to work with so far! Re: Anyone building with Fairhaven homes 9May 03, 2010 9:10 pm Hey, Well funny you should say that, we are building with Fairhaven and just today picked our colours! We are building The Glenaire...I agree, they have been wonderful to deal with and the colour lady was very helpful without being pushy. I am actually here at the moment looking at pictures of the house trying to imagine our colours in there! (sorry for going a little off topic, just excited!) Let us know how you go! Building the Glenaire from Fairhaven in 1C Somerfield Estate Re: Anyone building with Fairhaven homes 10May 06, 2010 8:25 pm KJ and AJ I know what you mean about getting excited, we signed our tender documents today, they should have contracts ready soon then we're away!!!! It's been a long 7 month wait to settle our land and now we're only weeks away from turning some soil! Building at Sierra Estate. We are looking to do a KDR with fairhaven homes, Have seen plenty of good reviews about them pre construction and plenty of negative reviews about them during contruction… 0 18039 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 24827 I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home. Not only did I find Matt Lowe patronising and a bully, but the home is NOT TO CODE. I have water coming through the bricks… 1 14374 |
