Coral Homes

Having a chuckle Jo

I haven't seen much about Coral on here.

We have looked at their homes and the prices seem good. We like the Stradbroke 279 or 251.

You never know. Do you have a start date? Our Brampton started on 19th Sept and we moved in on 2nd Dec.....yeah I know that was 11 years ago but they were quick!

Diner as a back-up not a bad idea

I'm about to begin building a two storey Coral home, I'm doing a blog of the build process.

Why have I started this blog?

This will be our first house, one of the main reasons I've putting my blog together is to try and help other people that are building their first home, after going through this process so far I know how big of a task this is and I understand that people could benefit from the help of others, so that’s what I hope to do.
We also found it very hard to find any information on two storey Coral homes, the only two storey Coral homes were down in Sydney, this is too far to travel for many people. After doing a search on the internet, we couldn’t find any information. I would like to make it much easier for people to know what to expect from a two storey Coral home. I plan on putting up lots of photos to help people out if they are deciding to choose a Coral two storey house.

If anyone would like to follow my process here is the link http://twostoreycoralhome.blogspot.com/

Hi Cob79

Where abouts in Brisbane are you building?

Sorry, can't help with C0ral info, but I know there are others on here building with them

Hi cob79,

I am also building with Coral Homes and the construction begins on Monday Check out my blog for the process so far.

How did everyones build with Coral go, we are looking at building with them but want to make sure they are decent to build with.

We are building with them too. We have taken forever as we changed plans to a Heron after working on their Hamilton plan for around 4 months! Apparently this itself would have given most builders a coronary but Coral were very accomodating. We made heaps of changes to the Hamilton which we thought were reasonably priced. The sales lady while initially being a bit of a cold fish (hope she isnt lurking here anywhere) did warm over time. She was patient & I guess maybe was wondering if we were serious with all the muking around we ended up doing. We made less changes to the Heron and none of the changes were a drama - except a couple of flat out 'no we dont do that'. I accepted this as sort of quality control - wont do it as htey have to guarantee their work?

Once we went to contract we had a fair bit of contact with the admin staff. Ours was great but did get a bit pushy when the bank dragged their heels with the ACC letter.

Anyway we are now in the early stages of the build (plumbing just gone in) and they have continued to provide a good customer service. We have been kept informed, have 24/7 access to the site & after speaking to a couple of the siteworks guys on the block, are happy we went with Coral. Their reputation within the industry has been confirmed by these guys & other builders & tradies we have met away from this project.

Looking good so far - time will tell.
Plenty of Coral builders on here on the Gold Coast & in Brissie so you should get a good idea what they are like. Time to stop waffling

Cheers

We are building at Upper Kedron in the north west of Brisbane and are looking at building a modified Magnetic 204.

The kitchen distance is not really a big deal for me and have lived in houses that were similar. Will be hopefully using the lounge area to put a bar and a pool table in.

The modification will be extending the main bedroom and changing the layout of the WIR, ensuite and main bathrooms.
