Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Allworth Homes - Anyone? 4Nov 12, 2011 8:34 pm Actually we had issues from the start. Our rep was from Allworth Kellyville. I'll put them in point form. Hopefully it will make it easier to understand. 1. Issues on the plan that our rep drafted. He didn't point them out we only noticed the issues when our plans were sent to the head office to be drawn up. We had to wait 6 weeks to make the corrections. 2. Once corrections were made they were sent to the council. The council rejected the plans and notified Allworth. Allworth decided not to inform us and we found out 2 weeks later that our plans got rejected. We only found out because we decided to call the council. 3. Allworth didn't do anything to get our plans approved. I had to contact the council and get our plans approved. This took over 5 weeks of phone calls and emails with the council. In that 5 weeks Allworth didn't bother to contact us or contact the council or follow up what so ever. 4. Because of this we missed the tender and had to pay fees. 5. Once plans were approved we then received the amended contract price and it jumped up close to $5000 6. We are now in the construction stage and we think our contract price as increased again. My feed back would be to not go with Allworth Homes, unless you like being stress and you don't like to sleep, then yeah go with them. Hope this helps. If you do decide to go with them, just try and be on top of things. It's Extremely hard to budget when building a house so when everything is finished you might want to look into getting a part time job. Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 24827 I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home.
