Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Nov 03, 2014 4:54 pm Ok so, My partner and I are looking with building with them. They have the only double story design that we seem to like and thankfully, within our price range. However, all the houses they have on display are all between $300k to $350k+. We are looking at "the Markham" and we love it. But no display I just want to be able to go for a walk through to get the layout and the feel of it. Has anyone built with them and can anyone give me any ideas about them or things that I should look out for as I have never heard of them and don't want to get stuck in that trap.... Any information and tips when building would be helpful. Thankfully I work for a law firm who primarily deals with the purchase and selling of property and property law, but As they said no one has built with them before. Any info would be helpful. Thanks so much Re: Who has used Ben Trager Homes? 2Nov 03, 2014 5:25 pm If you do a search there is heaps of threads on here about them. We are building with BTH, our design also had no display but you can ask them if anyone is building the same or similar design and arrange to go through it. So far we've not had any problems but we are only at slab down, others have had some issues which you'll read about but I don't think any builder is without its issues or 'safe' really, if you aren't already working with a sales rep I recommend Derek, he was great.

Here's to some luck being on my side!
