We are into our 12 month. It has been nothing but a nightmare. what happened? Re: Custom build with Orion homes on Harpley Estate VIC 23May 26, 2018 4:48 pm Unfortunately, NO, we would not be recommending them to anyone. We have also been very upfront and told the owners this. I tried to give them constructive criticism approx 6 weeks ago. It went in one ear and out the other. The owner said she would ring me back, 6 weeks later I'm still waiting for that phone call. Things like their policy states they respond to emails within two business days. We have now been waiting for a response since the 13th May but that is normal. If you decide to build with them, you can always be reassured that they will never ever be late sending you your invoice for a progress payment though. Just to give you a small birds eye view of some examples of what we have been through, and still are 12 months on are: engineers plans stipulated that we have temporary downpipes on our house when getting built. This was never to be. Lucky we hired our own independent inspector and he has noted that we may have the possibility of a VCAT claim if there is foundation damage. We had no meter box poured at slab stage, again, it was our independent inspector who picked it up. We lost our first supervisor, but the only reason we found out was through our friends who were building with them. I'm not sure when they were planning on telling us. One shower has now been ripped up twice due to the tiler tiling crooked! We had approx a 15 week delay on gas line. Orion tried to blame Red Energy. My husband rang Red Energy up to see why it was taking so long, they said" it's not taking long at all, no paper work was submitted until !!!date" My husband rang the office and the woman in the office admitted she made the mistake, but yet the owner is still playing dumb and pretending our house is taking a year to build because of the gas line. MMM what next? I"m about to write a thesis on this company. lol Stay tuned. Our lease finished in Feb so we are thousands of dollars out of pockets. There is so much more. Re: Custom build with Orion homes on Harpley Estate VIC 24Jun 21, 2018 9:54 am I totally agree. They are so bad. Our build took 12 months and 2 weeks. if we didn't have our independent inspector the house would be falling down.They used the wrong nails at framing stage. They didn't even calk the bathrooms. They honestly are a joke. Everyone on their facebook book page inboxes each other so the word is spreading. They are so sly and rude. We had no response from emails from Noel the owner for month when they brag on their website that they return calls/ emails within 2 days. P{LEASE BEWARE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34269 6 55346 |
