Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 13, 2018 1:02 pm Hi all, We have recently bought a block of land (400sqm) in Harpley, Werribee and planning to build a house on it asap. But it has been an overwhelming experience so far trying to shortlist with the number of builders available out there. Also, we live in south-east and travelling to Werribee to talk to builders is a time consuming affair specially when we can only go there in the weekend. So, we need your help to shortlist a few builders. We are not looking for a high end expensive builder. We just want to pick a design from a catalogue and build as cheap as possible without much changes and upgrades. Our land is already settled and started paying mortgage and rates already. So, we would like to start building asap. The message I am getting is volume builders aren’t able to start building before nov/dec even if we go in a contract now. Would smaller builders be able to start sooner? We would really appreciate if you recommend us few builders based on your own or your close ones’ experiences.

Re: Recommend a builder 4Jul 13, 2018 4:04 pm I know who NOT to recommend. Their quality and designs is terrific. But thats it. Everything else I would score -10.

Was looking for people's recommendation so that we could narrow it down to a few. The choices are vast. We are not fussy about designs or plans. Re: Recommend a builder 8Jul 17, 2018 12:13 pm A friend of mine has recently built with Sheridan Homes (AHB). And he recommends them. He is saying the independent inspector didn't find many faults in his reports. How is their reputation like, generally? Hi Mofflepop, I would recommend finding a building designer to prepare plans, they should design to your specified budget. The benefit is you can tender the project out… 9 20398 Hi, did you get any money from insurance? if you did, does it match what you've already paid the builders? 3 9563 |
