I am looking at building with Dechellis homes in Adelaide, we have picked the house design but have not hit the contract stage yet.
Any feedback on anything to look out for would be much appreciated
Thanks

What are they adding up to and can you share the plans? 09 Jun 2020 5 Junior Member Re: Building with Dechellis homes 8Dec 02, 2020 4:28 pm Hi Donga, we are also at the final contract stage and we included most of the upgrades along the way through the different stages of plan issues, they were great and the final price was not much different to the variations price throughout the plans etc Still have the selections but they also gave us a voucher to spend at selections so that should cover any additional add ons Cheers 09 Jun 2020 5 Junior Member Re: Building with Dechellis homes 10Feb 13, 2021 6:30 pm Hi Stella, all good so far, just finishing off selections so hopefully will get started with the construction soon Are you building or looking at building with them Re: Building with Dechellis homes 12Feb 28, 2021 10:03 am Hi Stella Please read what I have written to Donda. Hi Donga I previously wrote. Yeah, We built with Dechellis, wouldn't recommend them to anyone. We had a contracted term of approx. 6 months that instantly turned to 12 months due to a series of woeful errors by them. Their response to any compensation for lateness is 'NOT IN HIA CONTRACT'. The poor quality of the finished home is beyond a joke. We have been in the house for 11 mths and nothing from our pre-handover or handover has been repaired. Guess the loose term of within a reasonable time frame that is all over the HIA contract protects them !. We have 5 pages of faults that include non-compliant bathroom tiling to floor tiling that over 70% is either hollow, chipped, cracked, and uneven. They bullied us into taking handover of the house and even have bullied me to sign the letter of compliance certificate saying HIA has advised us of a $4000.00 fine for not doing so. So my definite answer is NO I would not recommend Dechellis to ANYONE! PM Me for more details. As an update to this, we have gone past our 5 years "statutory warranty period" with Dechellis making no attempts at any of our warranty concerns. They have in fact over the period entertained us by sending staff to inspect then never report back, even after countless attempts to have any items repaired. They even had the nerve to write back at the end of this period to tell us they had actioned everyone of our requests. Good luck if you have signed up.
