How is everyone going with their new home so far? Any major concerns? quality? etc.. Was it worth all this wait and frustration in the end? We have been told ours would be completed before the end of July, I just want to know what to look out for when we have our handover. Its our first time building and I don't want to miss anything. Re: Who is building with Bell River Homes in Schofields NSW? 322Jul 22, 2016 7:03 pm Hi yadm we shifted almost 3 months back.Still work hasn't finished basic work like they haven't given fence gates,grouts missing door issues etc.Warranty team had come but are slow to be honest.Make sure if it's not correct and if u can wait don't take the house unless all work is rectified.We were told it will rectify in a months time and see they aren't.Our supervisor was only talk the talk!! Re: Who is building with Bell River Homes in Schofields NSW? 323Jul 23, 2016 6:31 pm Hey Rit, that's is very disappointing to hear. I can totally understand after so much delays and wait and spending the hard earned money, you least expect the quality to be there. Hope Bellriver sort everything out soon. Makes us nervous with build starting in 2 weeks. Re: Who is building with Bell River Homes in Schofields NSW? 324Jul 25, 2016 11:29 am We are still waiting! 27th July is going to be one year since construction started. Last week they told me probably another three months! We visited site with the site supervisor last week and identified few major flaws. The alfresco door opening is not straight. There is bigger gap between brick and door frame on one side than the other side. Looks like brick isn't laid straight. We got air on duct passed through the bedroom built ins. As a result the built ins lost one third space. It wasn't in the plan. They saying the bathroom tiles we chose is not available in the market anymore. Not surprised, it's been two years since we had our colour selection sessions. Does anyone know if they will compensate for the delay? If anyone new reading this and considering building with Bell River, my advice is DON'T GO THERE. you will regret it. Re: Who is building with Bell River Homes in Schofields NSW? 325Jul 26, 2016 9:00 am Hi spt, I can feel your pain.. Absolute horrible builder and no one wants the take responsibility whatsoever.. You contract should have some amount per day.They should pay as its per contract.If they don't you should call fair trading I think. Re: Who is building with Bell River Homes in Schofields NSW? 326Jul 28, 2016 8:01 pm spt, that sounds ridiculous!! 1 year since construction started? Our slab was laid around November 2015, and we are having our hand over in a week. However, site supervisor says the landscaping wont be done in time so that will follow shortly after. Rit1712, I can't believe months down the track they have not fixed those issues. Isn't there some agreement to say they have to fix within a reasonable time period? And fence gates? Why the long delay for such a basic work? Re: Who is building with Bell River Homes in Schofields NSW? 327Dec 31, 2016 10:31 am Hey guys. We are about to build with bellriver homes next year. Now that you are in your homes, are you happy with the journey and the finished product? Do you have any advice for someone about to start the journey? Thanks Re: Who is building with Bell River Homes in Schofields NSW? 328Jan 09, 2017 6:34 am Hi Fenty333. It is hard to say. It is our first time building a house so I have no other builder to compare it to. Generally speaking, we are quite happy with the finished product. Bellriver provided quality materials I like to think. The timber floors, the appliances, lighting, and the bricks weren't just the standard etc. So I think we got good value for our money. However, there are quite a number of things that have been faulty and still they have not been able to fix 4-5 months after hand over. Leaking gutter, insulation, broken pipe in the front yard. Oh and their landscapers are shocking. They rushed the leveling of the soil and the laying of the turf. However, BR are generally good at replying to emails and calls. But they will never call you. You have to chase them if you want something done. Hope this helps.
