Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 25, 2014 12:14 am We have been looking around for a few years for the right block - and I think we have found it. A few years back we saw heaps of display homes to figure out which company to go with - and WBN seemed the best - though Shelford Homes looked good too. I dread the thought of looking at all the homes again and comparing specs and meeting with salesmen again.... Has anyone a suggestion on good builders who deliver what they promise, are good to deal with, well priced and build quality homes - decent foundations, etc? We want a large single level home and a competent builder.

Do you mind sharing that PM Perth_Euro? Thank you. Re: Recommendations for builder for new build in Perth 4Jan 25, 2014 1:27 am Hi ennoh We're building a single level home with WBN at the moment. I think if you found a design of theirs that you like, they'd probably be pretty good. We've been happy with the workmanship so far, with just a couple of exceptions (basically plumbing and roofing). However, we built a design that was completely re-arranged and changed for us and to be honest, they just haven't coped with that. It took us forever to get the paperwork correct and they made far too many mistakes in costings. And during the build, they keep overlooking things (like conduit to our lights, and a roof vent that was meant to be on the other side of the roof to allow space for solar panels...). And it's been us who've spotted the mistakes, not our site supervisor, which is disappointing. Based on our experience, our advice would be to only consider WBN if they have a display home you like with only limited changes, otherwise go to an architect or building broker and go through a process that gets you something made just for you.

Simon is one of the good honest ones. His opinions are valid and I can see that he treats his client well and updated. Iām pretty sure his last build broke… 7 20165 Hello, we can help you please get in contact 0421019219 thank you 3 24588 |
