Your post brings ME hope! At least I know Ventura actually do build houses! I was beginning to wonder. LOL Re: Feedback on Ventura Homes, Perth 8Nov 30, 2010 6:27 pm hahaha!! Do you know who your CRO and SS is yet (don't write names on here obviously) but hopefully you get good ones - ours were great. If you are thinking of terminating the contract, I think they can charge you for any work they have done (paperwork etc), but I'm not 100% sure. Have a good read through your contract. Just remember if you leave and start with another builder, thats another 6 months or so on paperwork with a new builder! But at the same time you need to have confidence in your builder and if you don't trust them to build your home, then yeah I guess you don't want to end up regretting not leaving. Hope whatever you choose to do turns out well!

We will see......if that happens, then they are within the commencement timeframe and we are locked into the journey come what may!! THanks again for your feedback, it really was encouraging. Re: Feedback on Ventura Homes, Perth 10Nov 30, 2010 6:56 pm I think it took approx a week from the day siteworks started on our block to when the slab went down. no worries!! Hope it goes well.

I haven't posted at all since....should really put some more up when/IF it all gets underway. Re: Feedback on Ventura Homes, Perth 14Nov 30, 2010 8:25 pm Allycawthorn...glad to know they finally got back to you!!! Hang in there ... Perhaps all will go smoothly after this last hurdle!! I'm only comparing plans online now but am tossing between DA, Redink and ventura. Looking at Ventura mainly because they have more loft options... But I'm still not sure if I want to spend that extra bit for the loft. Otherwise it's the Hampton with DA or custom 5000 with redink July 2011 Signed up with Redink Sep 2011 Titles for Land Dec 2011 Plans approved by council 30 Jan 2012 SLABBED! Re: Feedback on Ventura Homes, Perth 16Feb 08, 2011 11:46 am Hi I am building with Ventura at the moment. It has been going on for over 12months now. Have a look at my thread for the ride ive had. The service so far has been shocking. It better be a good build based on how long it has taken! ive had the same as allycawthorn with waiting for email replied and phone calls.
