Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 05, 2018 12:43 pm My lot at Caddens Hill has just registered, and I am frantically looking for a builder. I have contacted many and Beechwood Homes has responded very well and might build with them. I just wanted few advice on how to go about things from here. I also need to get my construction loan approved, so, any advice on building contracts, builders, construction loan and other things I should be aware of is gratefully welcomed. Cheers.

Hi arksyd Our land in Caddens Hill also got registered at the same time. We are in Stage 2 (Lot 201). Which is your Lot number? Lets see if we are neighbours ![]() We are going with Eden Brae and our application has be lodged this week. The administrative process with the builder is not smooth. Make sure you read all the documents and have all in writing if the builder/sales person committed something to you. Ask questions if don't understand anything. Don't bother if you are asking too many.

We are currently deciding between several builders. The ones I would recommend are Wisdom, Better Built Homes and Hall and Hart. I've also posted on the Caddens community Facebook page and a few people there recommended building with Clarendon also. In any case it will likely take several months before the builder is on site if you start searching now, also taking into account the Christmas break. I would suggest taking your time over the next few weeks to request tenders. Also, don't be afraid to pay the tender deposit with 2-4 builders.At the end of the day they will all provide a discount to cover any monies paid to other builders so you won't lose out. That will of course be on top of any promotions they have. Much better approach than to request one tender and wait several weeks only to find out it's not suitable or you don't end up liking the builder. Also if it helps I've found:-

Agree with the floor plans and good inclusions, but their execution is not good based on our experience, starting with the sales. The first builder we approached was Wisdom Homes. We got an irregular lot and the sales person who looked at the lot gave an impression which was not encouraging.

Very frustrating, and if it weren't for the fact they have the most desirable floor plan to us we'd have dropped them purely on that. Re: Anyone building at Caddens Hill?? 13Dec 12, 2018 8:43 am I can see more constructions start in Caddens Hill region now. Hope you guys started the construction. Ours is about to start. But not sure if it starts before Christmas.

Did you guys find that your land registered on time, or were there set backs? Also does anyone have experiences building with Rawson? Hi Julia, Great to hear you're building in Caddens. We were stage 5 and the registration was pushed back roughly one month. I also have a friend building around the corner in the next stage and they have already been pushed back two months. I'd imagine the developer is a little behind, and seeing as your registration date isn't until next year it's also possible they will be caught up by then. As for your question about Rawson - reviews for them are generally a mixed bag due to their volume. That being said, another friend of mine has bought a house and land package with them in Marsden Park and I haven't heard anything negative from them. Also, there are around 10-12 houses being built by Rawson near Werrington that I drive past most days. They're all 2 storeys and probably around 26 squares. They have seemed to have gone up quite quickly. As for the quality I can't comment sorry ![]() Re: Anyone building at Caddens Hill?? 19Mar 12, 2019 11:16 am ![]() Also building with Caddens 🙋🏻♀️ Stage 5. Eden Brae.

No setbacks so far, but was bit difficult than before to get the Loan approved due to the Royal Commission, or else everything has gone as expected. Cheers Not sure your local council conditions but often you can maintain current setbacks by going through a DA as alterations and additions rather than a new build, hence the… 1 12168 I’ve seen acrylic garage doors on a few houses around here, and they do look sleek, but I can’t imagine choosing them myself.
