Its great to see these info about hallhart as it seems they only started a couple of years ago and there are very limited info about this builder. We are also in the very early Stage on KDR. Would be really appreciated if anyone can answer the below questions:
1. They seem to provide tender estimate which they claim it will be very accurate to the actual one which will be provided after test and survey. How’s everyone’s experience?
2. Their inclusion price seem to be higher than other builders however it maybe because they include better quality ones but not sure. Its really hard to compare
3. They said after tender acceptance, they provide fixed price except hydraulic system, is it the same with everyone?
4. Anyone had warranty concerns considering they are new builder to this industry
Hello
As a current customer of HHH I can answer based on my experience:
1. Initial estimate is reasonably accurate. But your cost will change from estimate to tender and then tender to contract as you make up your mind on whether you'll stick with standard inclusions or upgrade. I personally felt the provisional allowance of 3K was not sufficient for kitchen upgrade as benchtop upgrades are pretty pricey.
2. Their inclusions are good. I think they list these in a premium inclusions booklet which you can compare with other builders. I have heard that lot of HHH standard is an upgrade at other builders.
3. After tender acceptance you will go through the selections process and all upgrades or downgrades (if you cancel a tender item) are tender variations which will affect your cost. You will know the total cost just before signing the contract.
4. No personal experience but you can check their insurance.
