I'm currently starting the process with Stylemaster. Paid the initial deposit and awaiting the first draft of the fixed quote. Like you I feel they are one of the best builders value wise and reviews have been generally positive.
Interested to see you timeline and what seems like a couple of big gaps i.e 3 months from council approval to the site prep and 6 months from slab down to the finishing. Any particular reason for the delays?
Hi there, yes a few big gaps - mostly due to Stylemaster and their tradies being really busy at the moment. We were warned before we signed the contract that they were running behind schedule and it would be a while until our build started, so we factored that into our timeframe. There haven't been any huge reasons for the delays during the build (i.e. no one tradie or supplier that held things up) ... instead, it just seems to be that people aren't on site every day so things have progressed quite slowly. It is clear the Stylemaster is under the pump.
That said, given the price and levels of inclusions, we would still go with them again if we had our time over
