When we were selling our house our next door neigbour was building with carlisle, they had their slab put down end of october, frame was delivered a few days later, however the frame was not started until Feb! carlisle are severly back logged at the moment from what I have heard, however there are a lot of builders in this position.
Henley are not even pushing clients through from sales until their blocks are close to titling and in some cases have titled! Its a crazy time due to all the land being released in melbourne! The demand is very high and there just are not enough trades!
I have just been saying that in another post. It Looks like there's not enough tradies. There's a shortage and therefor the ones that are there are charging double. I reckon too many houses getting built around Melbourne. I don't think it's not enough tradies. I think builders are taking too many houses on. As they are building everywhere in Melbourne. Country doesn't exists anymore. Lands getting released everywhere.

yep! You are correct I think its now more or less becoming a case of Greed now.. People are starting to get a little bit money hungry! Someones pockets are definitely being filled at the moment![/quote]
I don't get why these builders cant just have their own tradies. Instead of hiring contractors? Might be cheaper that way. Plus you would know what it's is working for you. Their skill level.

I agree, as some of the trades have some of the worst workmanship I have seen! If normal people were doing that in their jobs... well let's just say we wouldn't have a job!
