Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Aveling build in Secret Harbour 24May 08, 2014 1:35 pm Hi - great pics. I was wondering how your experience has been with Aveling homes? Have they been slow? Are the upgrades expensive? We are soooo close to deciding to go with them, however they don't do 28c windows/doors. Would love some feedback Thank you Re: Aveling build in Secret Harbour 25May 08, 2014 5:45 pm Hi hurryup, I don't want to take over shellndogs thread but I'm not sure if you have your own. We are building with Aveling and have 28c stacker doors. My build: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=68002 Re: Aveling build in Secret Harbour 26May 08, 2014 7:06 pm hurryup Hi - great pics. I was wondering how your experience has been with Aveling homes? Have they been slow? Are the upgrades expensive? We are soooo close to deciding to go with them, however they don't do 28c windows/doors. Would love some feedback Thank you Hi Hurryup, Our experience with Aveling has been overall very positive to date. We have made steady, but continual progress through our build to date, but most importantly from initial design through to current phase of build they have been in constant contact throughout. By this I mean a phone call once every one to two weeks to keep us updated, which we deem enough to show that they are making the effort to keep us in the loop, others may disagree but we are happy. Upgrades, in my mind they are expensive, but given we didn't have anything else to compare to its hard to judge. Some items were seemingly outrageously expensive, however they were at all times described as such, most others were within reason, and subsequently we chose to have Aveling upgrade many aspects of our home. Sorry I don't know much about 28c doors as we never considered them, however if Burns has them then I am sure that a mention to your consultant that 28c stackers doors are being installed to a friends house (we're all friends here surely) may result in a change of heart! Most impressively, we had two changes from what we were given as standard inclusions at sign up phase, to what was offered when the plans came through. My wife noticed the changes and we queried both to Aveling. Within 24 hours they had contacted our sales consultant, who agreed that we were informed that the upgrades (waterfall ends and stone feature to front of property) were included, albiet verbally when we signed. They immediately relented and included these at no charge (sorry Burns...). We had mentally resigned ourselves to paying more. It must be stated that our house is far from finished, but being relatively experienced buildees (this is our third home), we are happy with Aveling to date, particularly when we compare to our last builder (Ventura) who were simply awful in every aspect of the term, our home was a nightmare project from first day to last and it almost put us off ever building again. Aveling so far have fulfilled their part in us regaining confidence in the building process, and we pray daily that it continues as such. Please let us know if there are any particular aspects of the build, design costings etc you had queries on and we will try to recall the details if it helps. Lastly, as our premier subscriber Burns you are always welcome to comment here! Shellndogs Re: Aveling build in Secret Harbour 27May 08, 2014 9:16 pm Thank you for your reply. They sound pretty good. This will be our 3rd house = 2nd build too. We are building in Port Bouvard/Wannanup, Possibly have the same builders. Hi Burnsfirsttime thanks for your reply Re: 28c doors. Did you have to get them ordered in as a special request? We have been told it would be several weeks for a quote via Jason's doors as they don't supply them. Feel free to pm me so I a not clogging up shellndogs thread/ Re: Aveling build in Secret Harbour 29May 09, 2014 8:58 pm Is your front render done too? It looked like it when we went past earlier.
