We're new to Building a property and wanted to share our experience from day one.
We're building in the Ballarat area.
Land has been acquired and settled.
Chose JG King as the preferred builder after getting quotes from Simonds, Cavalier Homes and a few others.
JG King was the first to get back to us with a quote and were the most competitive.
We're building a 4 bedroom single storey house, and was told it may take around 4-5 months to build.
Finally got the Building Contract and reviewing it now.
JG King took almost a month and a half to get back to us with a contract. They were under the pump during Christmas and new year, thus delayed getting the contract to us.
Around $2k increase from the initial quote given. No changes made from our side.
Color selection was completed. Extra AU$250 for standard color template, no upgrades selected.
Contract says 166 days to build without Weekend, thats almost 8 months. Will try and get this down by requesting. Will update as we go.
So far, have mainly dealt with the Sales Rep who has been helpful thus far.
So the Rating is OK at the moment, but hoping it will end up at Excellent, fingers crossed!
Efficiency during our visit to the Display home, in terms of getting back to us with a quote and plans.
Slight delay in getting the contract
