Just looking for anyone who has built/is building with Sherridon Homes (Melbourne's western suburbs)? Wondering what you thought of their inclusions, prices and service? Any info would be great, thanks! Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 2Jul 10, 2009 5:52 pm Haven't had any experience with Sherridon Homes but I heard the owners were previous staff of Burbank Homes who left to set up Sherridon Homes. We have however, built with Burbank and didn't have a positive experience dealing with them. They didn't walk us through the engineerings but just post it out to us. When we needed to make changes at a later stage, we were charged $500 for each alteration. So, better check every detail before signing the engineerings. Their 3 months warranty maintenance was a most unhappy experience for us. The maintenance guys were rude, rough,aggresive, not on time and didn't turn up when they said they will, twice, and I had to take leave for nothing coz the owners had to be at home while they are working on the maintenance. One left our premises with the garage door open after finishing his job, eventhough we informed him tp let us know before he leave and close the door behind him. Another angrily threw his tools (hammer and all) on our nicely tiled floor when we informed him that the maintenance job (door lock) he did was still hard to unlock. He very angrily and unreadily redo the lock but still not working until now and we didn't want him coming back so we just bear with it as we dont want any harm done to us. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 3Dec 10, 2009 6:02 pm We've decided to go with them as the quality & price looks reasonable, and their upgrades aren't too bad. We're at tender stage now, am feeling a little nervous going with the unknown but hopefully all goes well. If anyone else has built with them I'd love to hear how it went! Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 5Feb 17, 2010 9:44 pm I have also signed up with Sherridon Homes. So far has been no BS affair so I'm pretty happy. Obviously I can't really make a judgment until I get the keys to the house but so far happy. I'll definitely be hiring my own building inspector though, just to make sure I'm going to end up with a decent product. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 7Mar 15, 2010 7:30 pm Hey Lolzz. I haven't actually started building yet. I purchased a block in Thirthy30 at point cook. I'm building the Ramson on a corner block there. I haven't found much info about them. How has your experience been with them and which house are you building? Cheers. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 8Mar 18, 2010 3:11 pm I'm building cambridge with them in Alamanda.... Their sales person is good so far.. I'm not sure about the quality they build.. hopefully it wouldn't be too bad. What about you? Any bad experience so far? Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 9Mar 18, 2010 3:56 pm Well, I guess they have been typical sales people so far. I have found there to be less BS with them compared to others though. What I do like is when I ask a question I get an answer straight away. The Cambridge looks to be a good little house though. When is your land due to be titled? Cheers. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 11Mar 21, 2010 9:07 pm Yeah ramson looks big on the plans but is only 27 square. Fits our block well though. Our land is due to title in July so hopefully start building in August. If you don't mind could you keep me updated on how you go with the build? I'm keen to hear how they are to deal with once you sign your life way Regards, JB82 Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 12Mar 24, 2010 10:58 am Sure. Just wondering, when you sign with Sherridon Home, do they promised tiled shower base? Did you see them on your drawings? I asked the salesguy, he said it's a mix up and I'll get the tiled shower base when the house is built.. just worried that he didn't keep his words... oh ya.. how did you go with your color selection? Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 13Mar 24, 2010 1:58 pm Yes they did promise the tiled shower base but I can't remember if they were on the drawings aswell. They also had a 4 burner stove top on our drawings but we spotted that and got them to change it to a 5 burner instead as promised. I will check out the drawings tonight for the showerbase. Also, we go in for the color selection next week. How did you find the color people? Is there a fair choice or is it a fairly no frills experience? Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 14Mar 24, 2010 2:57 pm OMG... I didn't check my burner.. I'm gonna check it tonight too... I think the color person is not part of Sherridon Homes. I think there are quite a few varieties (it was few months back)..but the standard builder range are not that impressive.. Perhaps it's better for you to know what theme you like so that they can guide you with the choices they have.. I made a mistakes for not doing homeworks before color selection and I'm regretting it! Sherridon Homes is not flexible when I tried to change my color selection... Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 16Mar 26, 2010 1:39 pm Hi, I'm going to build my house with Sherridon as well. How's the laminate option ? I was told that "what you see is what you get" in display homes, no more upgrade, regarding laminate for kitchen and bathroom. Thanks. Re: Anyone built with Sherridon Homes, Vic? 18Mar 29, 2010 9:34 am Hi JB82 I'm building Argon with them. I've got the stone benchtop as well. Would like to know the laminate options for the cabinet door and wall cabinet in the kitchen. Are there many of them that are not builder standard range ? Do you remember the brand ? TIA wondering anyone built with omaxe homes and care to share their experiences. thanks 0 13782 Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently.
