Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 20, 2014 1:45 pm Hi we are working our way through builders - trying to choose the "right" one! We are thinking that Oakford Homes (SA) seem reasonable. Their display homes and their sales staff are good but from reading all the posts on this site it seems that most problems start when you sign the contract! Is anyone currently building with Oakford ... or maybe have recently built with them? Would love to hear about your experiences.

We ended up going no further with Oakford because our block is a bit tricky - odd shape and a slope - so we needed something specifically designed for it. Oakford were a bit unresponsive, so we're now looking at Longridge and Beechwood. Hope your build goes well! cheers, francie1 Re: Is anyone building with Oakford Homes - SA? 4May 03, 2014 4:14 pm I have a few friends that have built with them and been very happy. We initially were going with another builder but we had to change blocks and took the opportunity to review our plan and quotes. Oakford were much more competitive than I previously thought and they have been fantastic to deal with. We are pretty much finished our selections and so far we are relaly happy. All of the trades we have dealt with so far report that Oakford are one of the better builders to deal with from their point of view. Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 24827 I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home.
