Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Champion Homes 41Feb 17, 2021 1:01 pm Statutory Requirements and Provisional Allowance costs are not included in CH contract price. I have quotes from Beechwood, Eden Brae, Mojo Homes, and Wisdom Homes, and their contact price includes some of these main costs.below. They could vary depending on the type of houses, condition and location of land, different councils, contract prices etc., Concrete slab H1 site class $4,450 BASIX Requirements $5,810 Bush Fire Attack Level 29 $20,000 (depends on your Level) Hydraulic Engineer Stormwater system $30,000 (council requirement) Narrow access - allowance double handing Materials $17,500 Preliminary site cost allowance $26,621 Additional fill to natural levels/Saline soil requirements $3,750 Zone Allowance $6,000 Service Protection Report on Main Sewer line $1,080 Safety rail to perimeter of roof (Workcover req) $1,343 New Layback to Driveway $6,000 Dilapidation Report Post Demol $600 Additional excavation, import/export of fill & Drop edge beams $5,000 Overhead Power Galvanised Pole $3,450 Shade Cloth to Scaffolding 2No $950 Check these costs against your contact, if not included you’ll need to question your builder. In spite the above, I believe CH is still a good builder. Re: Champion Homes 42Jun 27, 2021 5:32 pm sandhyasahoo Hi, I would like to check if anyone is building/built house with Champion Homes in Sydney? The payment schedule which Champion homes is asking 25%, 25%, 25%, 22.5% and 2.5% . My broker told CH in cooling off period that No bank is accepting this plan. What options do i have? Regards Pavan Re: Champion Homes 43Jun 27, 2021 8:14 pm Hi Pavan, I am no longer building with them. I felt very uncomfortable with they were they dealt with me, forcing me to sign and then threatening to take me to court to get the remainder of the deposit money so I decided to go with Clarendon homes. I lost 11k in the process. They still tried to bully me for more. Horrible company. Re: Champion Homes 44Jun 28, 2021 11:15 am I cannot stress strongly enough that anyone considering building should have a precontract signing consultation with a well qualified industry professional (NOT a solicitor) who specialises in such. There have been continual numerous accounts on H1 over the years about a litany of problems and 'mistakes' with numerous builders where most would have been avoided if only the members had done this.

Re: Champion Homes 46Sep 30, 2021 9:12 pm grevolution We are very close in signing up for a House and Land package with Champion homes and then I saw this thread. I wanted to know if people have the same experience of extra/hidden/variation costs in the House and Land package too? or those experiences are more when you just build with them? Hi Grevolution, may I ask how is your experience with Champion Homes? I am considering to sign the Tender, but I am hesitated as their tender looks different with other builders’, no breakdown price for the items just a total price and $15000 non refundable deposit will be charged immediately after I sign the tender however the soil test hasn’t been done yet. Am I thinking too much? Thanks. Re: Champion Homes 47Sep 30, 2021 9:18 pm panchute Hi, I'm considering building with Champion Homes (house and land package) in Leppington. I've put down the $3k holding deposit tender preparation. I'd really appreciate if I can chat to anyone who has built with them so i can have an idea of what the build process is. Similar to other people I've read reviews and want to make sure this is the right decision. Thanks for your help. Hi Panchute, did you build with Champion?

I am a single mother of three and it was my first time building. Jon Troter (spelt incorrectly) and his superior (some ruddy, chubby, English bloke) then tried to do a standover tactic when I asked for my money back. In the end, I didn't get the money back. Did have any more money to try and pursue it. Please do your research. There are so many bad stories about champion homes and they exist for a reason.

Hi Arginta, thanks for your alert, yes I agree with you. You built with Clarendon? Is it much better? Thanks . Re: Champion Homes 51Oct 03, 2021 5:57 am Arginta Yes, am part way through my build with Clarendon, so much more professional and the quality is amazing so far. Very happy to have made the change, even with the loss of 15k from Champion Homes. Hi Arinta, I've lost 15k too, and decided not to proceed because they require you to sign the contract before council approves the plans.

Very happy to have made the change, even with the loss of 15k from Champion Homes. hi arginta, i am just signed up with clarendon as well. (sydney nsw, DEC). they have not pushed as in signing at all and had multiple contract meetings changing things here and there. process was generally smooth except if you want anything slightly difficult , they still state upfront that they wont to do it. Eg: window above sliding doors ( forgot what its called) , Aclove / recessed wall/ extra wide stacker doors in certain places which requires additional beams- they will charge you very high prices and you might choose not to do it. if you have an existing pool too close to the build they still suggest your to get rid of it. they picked the easiest way to get things done. if you are looking simple build they are quite confidence and easy to deal with as a project builder. they have indicated that the price will go up and suggested to sign in December hence we have signed Re: Champion Homes 54Feb 17, 2022 4:59 pm Arginta Sarah.z grevolution We are very close in signing up for a House and Land package with Champion homes and then I saw this thread.
