Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 02, 2018 3:22 pm Hi Everyone, my wife and I are looking into building our first home (double storey) and have been talking to Broadway homes and a few others. We would like a similar builder that we can compare with to see which one has the better features that will still fit our price range (400-450). There are very few reviews of Broadway and we are not sure of what other mid-tier builders there are. If anyone has some suggestions that would be great Re: Any builders similar to Broadway Homes (Perth) 5Jan 04, 2018 12:22 am Thanks echo_base and Sethor. It is so hard to know which builder to choose, especially with many of the product reviews on other sites being fake. I will follow up with Novus and Goldstyle (another builder recommended in an older thread). echo_base, what was the reason you chose another builder over Novus? Re: Any builders similar to Broadway Homes (Perth) 6Jan 04, 2018 10:34 am Hi Resolute88 Couldn't agree more with your comment about "product reviews on other sites being fake" Some builder have opted to offering kickbacks for referrals Prices are very competitive in perth at the moment..you might want to consider getting your own sketch done and putting it out to tender. If they want your business then they will have to sharpen their (quoting) pencils Make sure you have everything included tho eg site report, approximate engineering and inspections..you don't want any pricing or non compliance surprises as you progress to build. hth Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Any builders similar to Broadway Homes (Perth) 7Jan 05, 2018 1:45 am 101 Residential got done for having a clause in contracts refraining customers from posting negative reviews. I have a feeling the ACCC have quite a few ongoing investigations ATM, so i'm sure we will see more builders get fined in the coming months. But if you're just doing a comparison on price/inclusions all the builders mentioned in this thread are in your price bracket. If you're doing a comparison with 101 Residential keep in mind they use MasterWall on the upper floor so it will cost extra to go double brick.

"Caveat emptor" or "buyer beware" doesn't apply when Trickery & Spin is involved Egs. of main issues I see are
