We got the driveway with them cos we just wanted to hurry up and move in asap .. I think they charged us $5G for this driveway .. we will do landscaping abit later No matter how nice or nasty you are am still now sure how some other people’s houses gets done much faster and some taking forever..

Which is better? To have the front open without fencing or still have a privacy fencing on the sides ? I have attached some pictures for example... we are doing our fencing next week so just wondering whether to add that extra fencing on the sides or just leave it open 🤔 Re: Building with Bentley Homes 45Feb 16, 2018 11:00 am Marlbling Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Wanted to ask a question?

I have attached some pictures for example... we are doing our fencing next week so just wondering whether to add that extra fencing on the sides or just leave it open Are you building in a new estate? A lot of new estates have restrictions about fencing forward of house. Some even say you have to have colourbond or capping. Have a look at the restrictive covenant. Personally, I like the privacy, but you might be limited by the covenant. Re: Building with Bentley Homes 46Feb 16, 2018 11:02 am We’ve just found out that or CSA is no longer working for Bentley. We had to call them to find out, no communication from them. I think we’ve had 8 CSA changes. Re: Building with Bentley Homes 53Feb 16, 2018 11:14 am We are 8 days out from contracted completion date and we don’t even know who our CSA is. It’s really disappointing. I liked Steph, and thought she was the best of all of the CSA’s that we have had. Re: Building with Bentley Homes 56Feb 16, 2018 11:24 am They are full of sh..it .. they just told me that Steph has gone on annual leave and she s not sure when she will be back yet 😳🙄 I told her doesn’t anyone reply back to any of the emails ? The lady said they are having some technical difficulties with their emails 🙄🙄 I hope they are not going bankrupt cos two builders went bankrupt and people have to finish their own houses Re: Building with Bentley Homes 57Feb 16, 2018 11:31 am I met with my Bentley SS on Wednesday and I don't think they are going bankrupt. They are opening 2 new displays in SE Melb. That said, I don't think they retain staff very well. It's a very small crew at Bentley and I think they struggle to keep up. They need to hire more people. Re: Building with Bentley Homes 58Feb 16, 2018 11:36 am Awee okay.. the lady has just called me back and said my site supervisor will confirm by Monday when our final Inspection will be.. this is the longest final stage in the whole wide world .. anyways I hope they will complete everything before our final inspection 😓 it was abit weird that they had the Henley reserve sign at the front of our house and when we asked them they said it was a mistake 😳 abit crap that Stephanie not here we trusted her and was a good one .. the others didn’t even care Re: Building with Bentley Homes 59Feb 16, 2018 11:38 am Marlbling They are full of sh..it .. they just told me that Steph has gone on annual leave and she s not sure when she will be back yet I told her doesn’t anyone reply back to any of the emails ? The lady said they are having some technical difficulties with their emails I hope they are not going bankrupt cos two builders went bankrupt and people have to finish their own houses Usually when someone is on annual leave, they turn on an out-of-office on their email. We were told one of our old CSA’s was on holiday in Europe and then a week later we had a new CSA. My husband was told they are having communication issues with their phones. I doubt they are going into administration, but my husband and I questioned it. They seem to be trying to expand, new colour room, new displays and new floor plans. IMO they should focus on internal communications, which would help with staff retention I’m sure. Re: Building with Bentley Homes 60Feb 16, 2018 4:36 pm Their phones are working again. But no one knows what is going on. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 47474 I would never build with Fowler homes.
