We built Elara's top plan, it was an absolute nightmare the whole way through, they cut every corner possible. Our issues started before the build started and continued just about every step of the way... We have been chasing them all year trying get them to come out to complete issues we found before handover and was told it would be all done by handover, then was told it would be done on the 3 month maintenance period, its nearly been a year since handover and very little has been done. Now we're dealing with plumbing issues where we had a blockage that filled the pipes up and we quickly found out that the toilets, baths and showers are not sealed to the pipe in the concrete slab, so we had septic leak out everywhere, it went under all the tiles to the carpets in rooms surrounding both toilets. Septic has soaked into frame work, skirting boards, plaster, the concrete slab and as I said, the carpets and under all the tiles. The scary thing is that Elara's plumber said that he's been doing it the same way for 25 to 30 years ! It's looking like insurance isn't going to cover the damages due to it being a building defect and will be under the builders warranty... I've contacted Elara and its looking like they want nothing to do with it, the owner said to contact my insurance... I suggest that anyone that has built with Elara homes or Aaron j homes, to get you plumbing checked, as its just a matter of time before you have the same issue! Would be great if someone started a facebook page about them, I bet the stories will come flowing in ! Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 77465 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
