Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 29, 2017 9:57 pm Hi All, Was just wondering if there is anyone building or has built a Mirage 60 with Kurmond Homes? There is no display for this home and wanted to get some advice on the experience with the build and any tips to look out for with Kurmond. Thanks Melody Re: Anyone building a Mirage 60 with Kurmond Homes? 3Nov 08, 2017 11:01 am We haven’t decided yet whether to build with them just yet.. we’re still considering other options at the moment.. I’ve had a good experience with the admin side of things but after reading all these negative comments about the actual building process it’s kinda turned us off them.. how is your build process at the moment? Re: Anyone building a Mirage 60 with Kurmond Homes? 4Nov 08, 2017 11:57 am Not good at all... @KurmondHomes ... #EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING & SLOW MOVING PROCESS ... #MISLEADING INFORMATION PROVIDER ... #FALSE PROMISES... #EXCUSES for UNNECCESARY DELAYING... #COMPLETE NIGHTMARE well KH is receiving negative comments but all those comments are 100% TRUE AND VALID...!!! Here is my summary: DEC 2016 - paid our first deposit MAR 2017(end)- Plan/tender received (took 3 months to draft a floor plan and estimate a rough figure) - there were 2 revisions in plan APR 2017 (beginning)- paid second deposit and stage 2 full payment (big amount 5% of total - e.g. ~ $22000) SEP 2017(beginning) - CDC approval received ( took 6 months for Kurmond Home's team to prepare to lodge CDC file, once they lodged our file, CDC approval received in less than 2 weeks time) SEP 2017(end) - FCT - Final Construction TENDER received OCT(mid) - Suppose to sign final Building Contract but SADLY WE HAVEN"T YET!!! we have been told KH doesn't have builder certificate so they can't sign a final construction contract and so can't start construction without a builder certificate, they told us we will get in Nov 2017 NOV 2017 - Waiting for Builder Certificate and to Sign Final Construction COntract - KH told us they will release builder certificate in Dec 2017 for their first batch and we are not in their first batch so we don't know when we will get builder certificate... FEB 2018 - expecting to start construction - HOPE SO...! KH hasn't told us or provide us with any dates...They refuse to provide a timeframe. KH told us construction time will be 43-50 working weeks once all the requirements will finish. Hope that help you Re: Anyone building a Mirage 60 with Kurmond Homes? 5Nov 08, 2017 12:30 pm Yikes! That’s crazy! Yeah we paid the $1000 initial tender price and they’ve been wanting us to go in and do the tender presentation and I’ve held off as we’re talking to custom builders now.. we weren’t spending a small amount either so decided to explore other options.. yeah we’re leaning towards not going with them.. just too many horror stories.. I hope though that once you’ve got your build started that its a more pleasant experience.. Which area are you building at by the way?
