Re: Building the Monaco by Dechellis 60Jun 05, 2012 10:10 pm Yep, that frustrated me to no end with the costings. When we moved to fairmont, they have a book with a set price so you definitely know where you stand you think they would be able to get their act together and be able to do that so customers know where they stand. I think thats good customer service, but honestly we received none of that. Although Emma was brilliant. Yeh we are the one with the vaulted ceiling and funky chandelier hahahaha Honestly, we had a few weird looks when we said we are going from Dechellis (boutique builder) to Fairmont which is a mainstream builder. But honestly I have felt that we have not compromised at all and if not we have received a better product, in the way where we were able to speak that extra money on better taps and showerhead etc. I really think a house is what you put in it regarding selections etc. We had hardly anything to put in for PCI and trust me I am really picky and we have an inspector at each stage and we didnt really get a massive list. So overall, I am over the moon with the house and would definitely build with Fairmont again yes.... lots of people think because I am a lady and very young..... I am going to be a pushover! They messed with the wrong bunny We haven't got where we are without determination LynneY Hi Jessie (Sorry Monaco Build for using your thread! LOL ) Thanks for the heads up - I am a very pedantic person and to be honest I am also a major cynic (I'm starting to sound like I have trust issues... LOL . I think a lot of sales reps try to reel you in so that you can sign up and I have picked up on this. And you are right - the price variations are quite substantital sometimes depending on which rep you talk to!! And the credits you get back vary too..... but for heavens sake... all the stuff is the same so they should just have a set price to credit you back...not tell you what they think they can get away with!! Sorry to hear that things did not go at all well with Dechellis. At least you are happy in your new home!? Thanks again. BTW - I had a look at your thread... I think I have the right person... I love the vaulted ceiling in the entrance and the chandelier!! Sexy!! How embarrassing if I am thinking of someone elses house! You built in GG? So young yet so determined and so driven. You go girl. Monaco Build - we are missing you.... hope you have had some news.. but councils can take months so we might not see you for months??! go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 110573 Even if it's not being sub-divided and you want to keep it as Torrens title, you will still need to talk to a town planner or Council themselves, to see if they will allow… 1 11039 |
