Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 04, 2010 6:50 pm Hi there, A new kid on the block with this forum - I was doing a search for posts on Hepner Homes from Woodford QLD. We have bought 2 acres in Wamuran and had a meeting with them today. We were very impressed by the initial greeting and feel of the place, Brett, his brother and Pam (I think it was). We will be seriously considering them if they can come up with a plan within our budget as they seem to be a down-to-earth, no crap, good ol' Aussie local family business. Any thoughts or experiences to be shared would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Re: Building with Hepner Homes 2Aug 17, 2010 5:38 pm Hi there cozziecane, we are 90% of the way through building our house with Hepners in Laidley. Got nothing but good things to say. As you have found already, the process dealing with Brett was easy and I never felt like they were out to rip us off at all - unlike my experiences with other builders. So , touch wood, everything is going great and we are VERY happy with our place. It's on steel posts, so it's not your typical brick on slab, but they put it up with no fuss and in relative quick time. We had to make small mods on the way as we weren't the most prepared couple, but Hepners worked in well with any changes we needed. Good luck and hope all goes well. Once the house is finished I'll post a few pictures up. cheers, Adam Re: Building with Hepner Homes 3Dec 06, 2010 9:39 pm Hi cozzicane Im a little bit late on the reply....we built with Hepners recently (and so did our neighbours they were that impressed!) You mentioned 2 acres in Wamuran - your not in Wamuran Outlook estate by any chance??? I dont mind if you dont want to say, or PM me if you want. Just that there is another Hepner going up behind us on the 2acre blocks. What are the chances hey?? Anyway were very happy with the build, love our house. Would use them again. Mitch is a genuine guy, really easy to deal with. Id be very surprised if you found anything bad about them directly! Oh but I must mention, highly advise you DONT use a particular concretor (I wont mention names on here) for extra concreting around the house/driveway, assuming they still use the same one. He was hopeless, overpriced, didnt listen to what we wanted and stuffed up part of our concrete. Not what you want. We ended up using Sunland Concreting and they were fantastic! And well priced too. Highly reccomend. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74688 I would never build with Fowler homes.
