Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Bentley homes 6Feb 08, 2016 9:14 pm raffiki We just started building the Ritz 400 with Bentley Homes. The slab to be poured soon, hard to review at this stage. We are also building Ritz400 Our land settlement is on April. It's good to know there is a thread now for clients building with Bentley! I wasn't able to find much reviews from previous post. I guess we are the possible first gen. Our colour selection is tomorrow! We have visited Boral, Beaumont and Taubman paints from Bunnings Re: Building with Bentley homes 7Feb 16, 2016 3:16 pm lilyh2o I wasn't able to find much reviews from previous post. I guess we are the possible first gen. There were some reviews before. Although not many. We're about to finish the frame stage in our Ritz 400. Re: Building with Bentley homes 8Apr 21, 2016 1:04 pm Hi all, We're planning to build a split level (upslope) benson 285 with Bentley. We had our tender/colours appointment last week and signed off. We're just waiting on contract drawings now. All good so far Anyone else have any updates on their Bentley build? Re: Building with Bentley homes 9Apr 21, 2016 2:18 pm Our construction of Ritz 400 in Ashwood is progressing slowly. A whole lockup stage lasts 7 weeks already and still far to go. The roof and the windows are in place. Currently we're at the brickworks stage, it lasts 3 weeks already, started just after Easter. I was advised by Bentley that the brick will be done this week, but honestly I doubt it as I haven't seen any visible progress this week at all. Re: Building with Bentley homes 10Apr 22, 2016 11:37 pm it is quite alarming to know that they are a bit slow. we had our initial tender mar. 7 and we immediately gave back our feedback for amendments 2 days after. what should have been a 2week turnaround time became 5weeks. we had to proceed with our land loan settlement first because of this delay. we got our 2nd revision only last week and again we gave our feedback which were so minor (only 5 items in the drawing) 2 days after. we were suppose to sign our contract today, but didn't hear back from them since i followed up tuesday. Re: Building with Bentley homes 11May 21, 2016 11:20 am crh66 Hi all, We're just waiting on contract drawings now. All good so far We've had a few weeks delay in booking in for contract sign-off (our customer rep left Bentley), finally booked in for early next week. We were originally hoping to be in by Christmas, was probably a bit unrealistic. Hows the Ritz 400 going raffiki and lilyh2o? Re: Building with Bentley homes 12May 21, 2016 11:33 am hi crh66, i think we have the same customer rep we are now waiting for developer permit approval as per our new customer rep. we just paid for the 5% deposit this week. now waiting to finalize our loan papers to send to Bentley. crossing our fingers! Re: Building with Bentley homes 13May 22, 2016 9:20 am Hi all, We are building the Kyalami 345 later this year. Our colour appointment is in late June so looking forward to that. I'm glad to find some others who are building with Bentley, will be following your progress Re: Building with Bentley homes 14May 24, 2016 5:21 pm lilyh2o i think we have the same customer rep we are now waiting for developer permit approval as per our new customer rep. we just paid for the 5% deposit this week. now waiting to finalize our loan papers to send to Bentley.

Re: Building with Bentley homes 15May 24, 2016 5:36 pm Vicki Hi all, We are building the Kyalami 345 later this year. Our colour appointment is in late June so looking forward to that. I'm glad to find some others who are building with Bentley, will be following your progress Hi Vicki. I was glad to find there are some others building with Bentley too. From what I remember of the last time I built (with Henley around 1997), I think some moral support might be helpful Re: Building with Bentley homes 18May 27, 2016 12:45 pm lilyh2o hi raffiki, glad to hear about your progress! post photos if you are able. we are excited for you Hi lilyh2o, see this topic for our house updates: http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=79265 Re: Building with Bentley homes 19Jul 08, 2016 8:54 pm Hi there, things are moving along for us. We have had our colour appointment and despite our CSA apparently going awol and them not being aware of our appointment being booked another CSA fitted us in and has been very helpful. So colours done and now waiting for our tender appointment in a couple of weeks. crh66, raffiki and lilyh2o how are your builds going? Re: Building with Bentley homes 20Jul 10, 2016 4:41 pm Hi all, Not much happening for us at the moment. We paid our deposit and the mortgage was sorted out in early June, just waiting for the developer approval/building permit. We had a bit of a issue a few weeks ago, our garage wall was going to be too high for approval so they had to reduce the height of our ceiling in the first level at the front of the house (was going to be about 3.2 metres, will be about 2.9 now). Hopefully all will be OK for the permits now. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 76238 I would never build with Fowler homes.
