Browse Forums Building A New House Re: building with 8homes. 34Jun 04, 2014 6:08 pm Hi everyone All went well. Was given wrong Info on the supplier thy haven't changed, so our brick will not change yay!! Picked up a couple of errors while reading contract, one being charged for cat 2 laminate floors that we hadn't asked for. But there was no issue with changing them back. Also the nbn is an extra $600 than on our sales quote. All in all we came in at budget so we are happy. Just need to wait on soil test and energy rating, fingers crossed. Just need to wait for land to settle now before we can do anything else. Re: building with 8homes. 35Jun 04, 2014 8:51 pm arnoldsabode Hi everyone All went well.

It's a different type of package. Re: building with 8homes. 36Jun 04, 2014 9:30 pm arnoldsabode Hi everyone All went well.

I think our package is a bit cheap I think it says $680 on quote so I'm guessing they have made the same mistake always good when your in budget! Re: building with 8homes. 37Jun 04, 2014 9:49 pm It wasn't stressful at all. Yeh then another $600 added to that so $1200 approx. for the nbn! Yep all going to plan so far!! We also got a choice of another colour for the blinds that we decided on. Re: building with 8homes. 38Jun 19, 2014 7:29 pm Just reading all the posts in this topic, We have just signed our contract with 8 Homes and will be starting to build shortly. We took the 40mm reconstituted stone option, however there was limited samples available to see the actual stone they would be using... has anyone had this put in their kitchen when building with 8 Homes? Also, we've yet to have our energy assessment done, and at contract they said that because we modified the design, that we may have to pay extra for upgraded insulation, but were not sure... anyone had any experience with this? we didn't upgrade the ceiling height, but did add a larger stacker door to the alfresco and an additional sliding door to the side of the house... so far 8 Homes have been very attentive, but I do get nervous reading some of the more negative posts... would love to hear from people who have gone through the whole process.

Thanks Welcome to the post and congratulations on your contract signing! We've upgraded to the 40mm ceasarstone, so wouldn't be able to help you there. We're starting build tomorrow and we've gotten the energy assessment yesterday! I had to ask for it and they sent it through saying no upgrades are require. We scored 6.2 star rating We upgraded the ceiling heights, 2 larger stacker doors, extra windows and extra lighting. My administrator is attentive but you just have to poke them an email here and there because they forgot to mention something in particular. Re: building with 8homes. 40Jun 20, 2014 9:51 am Thanks RoseN, That's encouraging news regarding the energy assessment. Good luck with your build, would love to know you are getting on throughout the process.
