Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our Better Built Homes Journey 36Apr 28, 2017 10:30 pm 28 April 2017: Today is my daughter's birthday and to celebrate, Better Built Homes decided to surprise her by working on the house for the last 3 days and doing all of the internal plumbing and starting on the first floor brickwork!!!! Here I was thinking that we were waiting until Tuesday for them to START the brickwork but lo and behold they want to FINISH the first floor by Tuesday. Might take a couple of weeks for the second floor to be completed but to be honest I am just over the moon with how our build has been going.

They are all friendly and more than willing to give you some of their time. They also take great pride in their work and want you to feel that the house they are building for you is as important to them as it is to us. Can't express how good that makes you feel as a client. Till next time everyone, Happy Building! Re: Our Better Built Homes Journey 37Apr 29, 2017 9:13 pm Looking good Krusade, we are still in council but hopefully our build goes as great as yours is going Re: Our Better Built Homes Journey 38May 01, 2017 12:58 pm mathewfrost Looking good Krusade, we are still in council but hopefully our build goes as great as yours is going Thanks for that mathewfrost. Yes we are very pleased so far. Hoping your council does not take too much longer. Also if you can, when you start see if you can get Aaron as your site supervisor. He is a legend! Re: Our Better Built Homes Journey 39May 02, 2017 9:29 pm 2 May 2017: Things are still buzzing over at the Kruse 35 build in Spring Farm. Better Built Homes just keep surprising me by giving me a timeline and actually doing things EARLIER than what they say. Completely the opposite of what most people experience with their builder. I was very happy to have bricks started. I was told that it would take about 2 weeks to get the scaffolding in and maybe get the top floor bricked then and then onto the roof. Well as you may have guessed, 6:30 this morning they are putting up the scaffolding and plumbers came to finalise the rest of the internal plumbing. Then I found out there were 5 bricklayers onsite on Saturday continuing to work on bricking up the house. Incredible progress. I don't know how long it will last for but as we keep saying, we are continuing to enjoy the ride!

Very happy so far with the service, quality and speed at which our house is coming along. Till next time everyone, Happy Building! Re: Our Better Built Homes Journey 40May 09, 2017 7:33 pm 9 May 2017: So my wife and I decided to stop by the house as we had heard on Friday that the brickies were going to start about 1.5 weeks earlier than anticipated. So they started back today and we have been told that they will now stay until the job is finished. Worst case scenario they will be finished by next Friday. But at the rate they are going it could possibly be even sooner. Met the ever friendly Brayden the carpenter on site as he told us that the roof trusses over our rear balcony were also installed today. Very grateful for the continuing progress and excellent communication.

After that we are looking at gutters, fascia and eaves and then hopefully a roof! Feeling very happy and blessed. Till next time everyone, Happy Building! Any advice on how to ensure the kit home granny flat that im thinking of buying will get council approval. The kit home companys wont release plans without a deposit and… 0 7209 brokers will also be in a position to get you a better rate than the advertised rate most times. 6 7566 I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home. Not only did I find Matt Lowe patronising and a bully, but the home is NOT TO CODE. I have water coming through the bricks… 1 14346 |
