Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 04, 2010 2:48 pm Has anyone built with Homes Now? I have heard their radio commercials a fair bit recently but haven't heard any feedback. We have found a great house and land package with them and I'm a bit sceptical as it seems too good to be true http://homesnow.com.au/img/downloads/houseland/taverner26ew2.pdf Re: Homes Now 2Jul 04, 2010 5:38 pm same company as national builders i think... i'm sure at least the same md and directors of the company, i think the difference is the designs obviously, but the inclusions are less compared to national builders. ---------------------------------------------------- Living the dream.... yeap a mortgage...

The above post is correct. We're currently building with them, and so far, so good. Please be aware that Homes Now (HN) will get you through the door (ie. sign you up) and then farm you out on to one of their many, many building contractors. I think it's a bit of, 'luck of the draw' in regards to who you get... but, we seem to have done pretty well, as our builders seem to be pretty good so far. We definitely had some issues with HN in regards to their admin (I think because we were trying to do the admin via the one fella who's primary job is to sign up new clients - we discovered the hard way that you're far better advised to go through the girls in the offices for the admin side of things!) ...but, all in all... I think it's worked out OK thus far. We really liked the house that was on offer... and we paid extra monies to get the ducted heating/ evaporative cooling and many other things that seem to come as standard in National Builders/Metricon/Burbank, etc.. homes. Good luck in your dealings with HN!

The kitchen is no bigger than the one we have now (that I can't fit everything in to) I might check out some more of their designs on the website now though Re: Homes Now 5Jul 08, 2010 5:44 pm Here are some previous topics on homes now which may help. http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9664 http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=13212 9 24636 This is one of the reasons I decided to go overseas for my double glazed windows. As the builder indicated, he's worked on many upmarket builds, these were the most well… 13 19032 2 15438 |
