Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building Strand 40 with Kurmond Homes - Jordan Springs 41Jun 14, 2011 12:06 pm Well land settles this Friday and we're still holding off to the final hour to make sure there's nothing we can do with the mortgage insurer and the issue we have with the HAF grant. All the updates on that are on my building blog. As for Kurmond, we're taking our time with them and we did our external colour choices last week. Again you can read it on the blog. Wasn't impressed with the whole process, could have been better. Saying that if you're prepared it would have gone much better. A tip for those building with Kurmond, they use Taubmans paints, decide before you go on your Moroka and cladding finishes.

We decided to research and found that to be the case. My wife and I are after some nice browns. We have the below, what do you think? - Bricks - PGH Chocolatto, off white Mortar - Roof - Ebony in tiled contour - Window Frame – Custom Black Matt. - Fascia – Monument - Downpipes and Watertank – Monument - Garage Door: Paperbark (Looking at cost to change to wood) - Moroka Colour 1 – Taubmans Greenstead (T112-8A) - Moroka Colour 2 (Arch) – Taubmans Chocolate Bay (T118-7) - Cladding – Taubmans Chocolate Bay (T118-7) hmmmm.....not sure on this. - Eaves - not sure? - Porch Louvers: Silver (not painted) - Driveway - Charcoal - Front door - Taubmans Jarah Here's the plan - slight change is the right hand side we made all Moroka, so the whole front is Moroka with cladding upstairs. I'm unsure if cladding would be ok as the chocalate bay as well??

Re: Building Strand 40 with Kurmond Homes - Jordan Springs 45Jul 08, 2011 6:44 pm For those wanting an update on Kurmond Homes. They're getting slightly more weird - I've had regular updates by different people, the colours etc has been going ok. But it depends on what you're after. I've had some difficulty lately trying to get my contract fixed and resent to me corrected. I've sent multiple emails and even called and the lady looking after it hasn't called me back. But I ring the colour girl and I can talk to her, I tell her my frustration and she tells me she'll pass a message on and just keep trying. She's trying to help and is at least doing all the stuff I ask and moving right along. I'm ok with waiting if I'm in line, but I want them to manage my expectations and tell me when they plan to get back to me. Ignoring me is starting to *** me off. I plan to try the boss again on Monday if I get nothing over the weekend (which I doubt). The contract part is important, it allows me to go organize the finance so they can submit plans. Worst case I plan to send the wrong contracts to my solicitor and pay him to chase it up and have them corrected for me. I think they might have 1 or 2 people on their team that aren't up to scratch. The ones who have been on the ball have been excellent, shame it doesn't go the length.

The salesman was also very rude to her on the phone. Well, I have 5 other friend who have their contract with them and still waiting & waiting... I think you need to call the boss asap... Re: Building Strand 40 with Kurmond Homes - Jordan Springs 47Oct 02, 2011 12:23 pm we are building at Jordan Springs and we called kurmond homesand left our details for someone to call us back as there was no one there to take our call and they NEVER called us back so that was enough for us to move on and find someone else that wanted our business Re: Building Strand 40 with Kurmond Homes - Jordan Springs 48Oct 02, 2011 5:59 pm Yeh I've been hearing a lot of funny things like that lately.
