Browse Forums Building A New House 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.
