Hi,
I have been looking at this site for a while trying to get ideas and reviews on home building companies. After buying a couple of established houses we thought we'd try and see how we go with building as we have found that we could not find exactly what we wanted established or if we did, it was pretty $$$$$$.
We came down to two companies Aveling and HGWA we really loved the Aveling home but with HGWA we felt that we were getting more for our dollar (though as we get closer to pre-start I am starting to doubt this as a lot of the standard Aveling products are upgrades for HGWA). I am basically finding now that I am two months past singing our contract and I am all ready kicking myself and thinking I'm just going to loose $2000 as the stress of choosing colors, making sure everything is recorded correctly and that everything I choose looks good is killing me as I am always second guessing and changing my mind. However I have seen a lot of beautiful and well thought out designs and colour selections posted on the site which I might have to borrow and I will probably be asking for a lot of advice to help me though this journey.
