Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 21, 2013 7:29 pm Hi, Everyone: I am a newbie in Home1, and really don't know much about building a new house. Now we are planning to build our new home in Brisbane area, and it's hard to decide which builder should we go with. We have talked with Ausbuild, and sales is really nice and professional but I when I google Ausbuild, so many reviews are "terrible", same thing happens on other big builders like G.J. Simonds, etc. Is there anybody has built your house with Aubuild ? How's youre experience? Or Please give me a heads up, how can I find a reliable, good reputation builder in Brisbane area? Any ranking? Thanks! Re: Who has built or is building new houses with Ausbuild QL 3Jan 22, 2013 9:59 am Hey BlueJava, Welcome to the forums. You'll find that there aren't too many Brisbane builds here - You've got Plucka's at Springfield, TashnStu77 out at Toowoomba, StellaBella up at Gympie and I'm out at Mitchelton. (apologies to those that I missed out..) There are also a few non active threads out at Dakabin and Northlakes I haven't seen an Ausbuild thread on here for a while. When we built out at Warner Lakes in 2008, we did look at Ausbuild - display homes were nice, but in my opinion they were overpriced compared to what others were offering. Can't offer any insight into the build process with them sorry... How about yourself? Have you purchased/have a block yet? Obviously you haven't picked a builder. You've got the choice of going with a volume builder like Ausbuild, Metric*n, Coral, Hallmark, Plantation to name a few. Or there are some smaller builders around - both have their pros and cons, you need to find what suits you. Plenty of information and advice to be had, just need to ask the right questions.

Have done more works on the prices these days, Ausbuild is really overpriced comparing others. Seems I need to collect more prices from other builders. Thanks again for your reply. Re: Who has built or is building new houses with Ausbuild QL 5Jan 26, 2013 11:06 pm Hi, We built with Ausbuild in 2011 in northwest Brisbane and had no problems at all - the build went smoothly and professionally and the quality was amazing - I found that although it appeared more expensive, they included alot of quality extras. My brother also built with them in 2011 and again a really good build, and a very good friend of mine is currently building with them and again, have found them really good. We are just about finished building with Plantation Homes, again in north west Brisbane, and although initially we were very disappointed with the level of customer service and professionalism we received, we have had a fantastic build with the best site supervisor we could have wished for - sure there are things that go wrong and they did on both builds, but I can say that both Ausbuild and Plantation homes (the build part) were amazing. Hope this helps a little bit!
