Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 61Oct 27, 2010 10:09 am Hi Bingxia, The water bill will be your water rates. Builder cant do anything about that, when you settle your land, information gets passed onto city west water and they rate your land. They charge rates even if you don't have a tap on your land!! I'm in Wyndham vale. Just be very careful, and get there often to check the work. hire a building inspector. I used a company called new home inspections. They were pretty good. Good luck Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 63Mar 09, 2011 10:03 am I moved in to my property.. Still have plenty things to fix and I'm quite disappointed that the supervisor/maintenance guy didn't return my call during maintenance.. I couldn't organize for internet/phone connection due to this reason... Please aware of the carpenter's and painter's works.. some of my cupboard doors appears to have scratch here and there..and my garage door is not leveled properly (you can see the light inside garage from the gap of the door and its door frame). The painting was a terrible job too! Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 64Mar 09, 2011 10:06 am Yes, I've already signed up with them but haven't started building yet so can't comment on workmanship. They are quite slow to get out to site. Also, make sure you get a building inspector of your own. I'll say it again, INSPECTOR, INSPECTOR, INSPECTOR! Best $1500.00 you will ever spend. Search for some posts from a guy called bulldog on this forum. He had some issues, but because he had a building inspector (not the builders own inspector!) he could hold them accountable. He ended up getting a lot of things fixed but was reasonably happy with the end result. He just went through alot of heartache ..... Cheers. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 65Mar 11, 2011 11:21 pm thanks for the reply...well hope its only minor things that need fixing...and that at the end of the day you build your dream home and it was a good experience...just saw the avjennings house on today tonite..kinda scary to know that an award winning house can turn out like that in a few years.....oh man.. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 66Mar 12, 2011 8:22 am Yeah, these building company's just hire contractors to do the actual building. You may get lucky and get a good bunch of guys onsite, and you may be unlucky and get a bunch of idiots who couldn't care less about their quality of workmanship. Really, all the building company can do is not give the bad ones anymore work.... Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 67May 27, 2011 12:31 am Beware of the Sherridon/AHB australian accountant. They was used early invoicing, which they sent email request for stage building payment, but infact it has not complete and inspector hasn't called in, so they can take advance of your monies. I once argued with them the stage completion and endup had to paid 18% penalty for late payment fee. They was realy try to take whatever they can. Bad builder! Bryan. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 68Sep 24, 2011 1:30 pm mine havent started yet but i can tell you their communication skill is pretty poor..always say they will get back to you or will do it but never do. but i get a feeling that if they need your cash thats when they will contact u on the spot. Wish there was more people posting.. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 69Oct 31, 2011 9:10 am We are building with Sherridon. It took ages for them to start the project but once started they have been so fast and efficient. The site supervisor is friendly and so far we have had no problems and look foward to moving into our first home before christmas. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 70Nov 29, 2011 3:45 pm I'm also building with Sherridon at the moment. This is my second build and I'm really impressed with the service I've gotten so far. They keep me fairly upto date with what's going on. I also didn't think they took too long to start onsite. It took about the same time as my previous build. Looking forward to seeing the finished product! Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 71Dec 03, 2011 6:02 pm Hey Guys!! My first home here. I found this forum from googling Sherridon Website. I am excited but also a bit nervous after reading what some of you have said. I've been doing my comparison between Sherridon, Burbank and Urbanedge. I decided to go with Sherridon because their inclusions seems to be pretty good but what got my attention was that the consultant said he is the only person i can always go to till handover and price is 100% fixed no matter what. So far, so good, haven't got any bad surprises yet. Fingers crossed everything will go well. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 72Dec 13, 2011 11:20 pm marcopolo Hey Guys!!

Hey Marcopolo - we did the same, went to all the other builders and they all just wanted to rip us off - like asking questions like " oh you want lights, well that will cost you an extra $65 per light " ... Sherridon just seemed like everything is included and our sales guy so far has been great. Even answering my emails at 11pm. Let's hope the service stays at this level. We have brought a house and land package, so am hoping that we will run into less problems than others who buy land first and then get a builder to build on the land. Are you getting your own Inspector which has been suggested ??? if so i would like to know who you use and how it all goes. When is your house due to be built ? Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 73Apr 06, 2012 9:03 pm Hi everyone, Just wondering if there are any recent updates on your builds or newly signed up reviews? My hubby and I are looking at Sherridon Homes and would love some recent feedback and reviews.

Hi djwanz The sales guy did also reply my wifes e mails late at night and we were surprised by that and appreciate to have our questions answered so quickly. My house is already on the ground, slab completed and just received invoice for my frames on friday. I must say they are pretty quick, i think it took them 2 and 1/2 weeks to get up to this stage. So far the sales been delivering his promises about the efficiency and 3 1/2 to 4 months build time. Lets hope this will continue on. He also mentioned there are free inspections? Did you guys get them as well? i didn't get an inspector but will probably get one in the fixing or lock up stage as i think those are the important part? I think i willl be in by July so my partner and i are getting real excited. So is your house on site yet? Which house did you pick? Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 75Apr 29, 2012 2:56 pm paod Hi everyone, Just wondering if there are any recent updates on your builds or newly signed up reviews? My hubby and I are looking at Sherridon Homes and would love some recent feedback and reviews. Thank you Paod Hi Paod, So far so good, as my house is on site now and they are pretty quick. Its my first house so i'm not sure if that's the usual speed, but just seeing the progress excites me. Now i will just haev to wait to see the finishing product and quality. Sales are pretty good and seem to be living up to their words. The approval stage took a bit long and i had to chase them up a few times, but they explained that its not within their control. In general, i would recommend them to anyone who is looking to build. thanks Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 76May 05, 2012 9:14 pm paod Hi everyone, Just wondering if there are any recent updates on your builds or newly signed up reviews? My hubby and I are looking at Sherridon Homes and would love some recent feedback and reviews. Thank you Paod Hi paod, My wife and I are also looking at SH,the land & house located at Wyndham Vale, we decide to sign the contract by next month,hope everything goes fine.... Thanks Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 77May 19, 2012 9:42 am This is my first home so when i started i was looking for infos on sheridon everywhere and did not find much but found they are with ahb that did not have good reviews. Kinda scary. so hope this helps as i know how nerve wrecking it is. As I am in the house now and now i can finally say that i would recommend them actually and pretty happy.Had to do a bit of chasing up with them but no major issues...Lucky.... plus is used a private inspector too..who did not have much to fault on.. Anyways...Quality is not perfect but very good. They are fast once they start. One thing tho. you HAVE to supervise them as they did miss on a few things. Did do early invoicing but was happy with the job so did not matter much. I had a great site supervisor and the person in charge on my case was fantastic too. Overall they get 4 out of 5. So good luck guys.
