Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 28, 2008 12:55 pm Hi All, new to forum.
We are in the early stages of planning to build our dream home. We have chosen the Sanctuary Cove, built by Ventura Homes. Does anyone have any feedback about Ventura?? If anyone has some working plans of the Sanctuary Cove that would be great too, we're just working out our budgets! Cheers, Re: Anyone Built with Ventura Homes??

Perth-1st Timer has built with ventura the link to their blog: http://thecambridge.blogspot.com I am not sure if anyone else on this forum has/is using them. We are going with Ultimate (Peter Stannard) ourselves, and hopefully will have a slab soon. Where are you going to be building? Good luck with it all. Re: Anyone Built with Ventura Homes??

No direct complaints about Ventura (apart from all the normal issues such as not returning phone-calls etc). I would say that you have to pay close attention to all the aspects of the house build, but you should be doing this with any builder, if you are unsure (I suspect this is your first home build?) then employ the services of a friend/relative who has been through the process, or even better engage an independant consultant. I foolishly didn't (trying to save $1000 or so) and now regret it as I didn't pick up alot of faults with the house that should have been fixed at the time (very uneven concrete slab being one that bugs me 12-months on!). Hope that helps - PM me if you have any more specific queries after reading through my blog.
