Note to other dont wait for a call back from allworth do the phone work yourselfs. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1469Jun 16, 2015 10:34 am I contacted our bank. They should get the letter from the valuer today or tomorrow. Then its takes 3 days for the payment to go through. So we will be lucky to get the keys on friday. Im really starting to get annoyed, but not at all with Allworth. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1470Jun 16, 2015 5:00 pm So for us it was no returned call as promised yesterday arvo. No calls or emails today from allworth. What I did get was an email from the certifier (only because I called him yesterday) explaning that he was waiting for a copy of the section 307 sewer and drainage certificate. He has emailed Parramata Allworth office and Central Coast and also emailed Wyong council. My wife called the site supervisor this arvo and asked why we are still waiting and he said oh no this is pretty normal. WHY THE HELL DONT THEY TELL YOU THIS DURING CONTRACT SIGNING???? At least we could have asked for a lomger settlment. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1471Jun 16, 2015 5:18 pm Hi All, I haven't read through all the pages but was wondering if anyone could help.We have settled on our land on June 9th after many delays with registration and have just been told that it may take 3 months for approvals. I have spoken with a few people who have got there approvals done in a few weeks (other builders), so was wondering is it Allworth who takes there time to prepare things ready for approval. One woman I spoke with is building with Clarendon and is expecting to have a slab laid in a few weeks. She was in the same release as us. I am at a loss as to why her process has been a lot faster. We chose Allworth because of their quick build time but if the other processes are much slower then we feel like we may have made a mistake. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1473Jun 16, 2015 6:51 pm Thanks Zook, we were really hoping to have a completed house before christmas, otherwise we will have rent and a the bulk of the build amount right at christmas. Maybe we will get a miracle Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1474Jun 16, 2015 7:25 pm I was at the stage you are in april last year. I had alot of dramas with allworth and the council. I thought i would of been in my christmas last year but i was so wrong. My house started at the end of jan and i should be getting the keys by the end of this week hopefully. The admin side is terrible but the building side is great. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1478Jun 16, 2015 9:13 pm For us with Wyong council it went thru in about 16 days. It was allworth that held the rest up. We were goven a 17 week build. They gained 2 or so extra weeks in the contract due to the amount of rain we have had. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 1480Jun 16, 2015 10:11 pm Melb01 Sounds like we may have some fun and games coming up. Our land registration was on Jan 2015 and we signed the contracts on May 2015. 3 months were taken for preparing final plans. Admin side is real slow. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74757 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
