Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 14, 2013 8:43 pm Re: First time build - Tribute homes Townsville 3Apr 14, 2013 9:01 pm We are using that new exterior cladding (http://scyon.com.au/stria.html) - its about 325mm wide and is triple insulated and being in the tropics it will reduce our reliance on air conditioning. We also gain about 6-8 square metres of floor space because external walls are only 90mm thick - rendered masonry block is 200mm wide so over a ~200m2 floorplan we gain a fair bit of space. The build time is also quicker - ~90 days and its cyclone rate. Heaps of ticks. If you want to play with your floor plan in 3D download google sketchup - its easy. There is you tube clips and tutorials on how to draw you rooms and doors and stuff. Also fun to tinker with all you furniture positioning and stuff. cheers dunco Re: First time build - Tribute homes Townsville 6Apr 15, 2013 4:38 am Looks great! love the 3d plans!

Re: First time build - Tribute homes Townsville 11May 17, 2014 4:17 pm Adamson Sorry this is a bit late but I built with Tribute Homes and was really disappointed. I hope your build is going better than mine did. Good luck. Hi adamson, We had a really good experience building with tribute and found that they were quite resonable to deal with during the design and construction process. I'm not sure what happened in your case but everytime we had issue we talked to them about it and we got a great home in the end. Its probably not too late to talk to them about it to see if you can get whatever you need fixed? cheers Dunco Re: First time build - Tribute homes Townsville 12May 20, 2014 4:48 pm I concur Dunco, we also built with Tribute Homes late last year and are very happy with their process and the end result. In fact we have just received an invite from the TV Show Australia's Best Houses, so stayed tuned to 7TWO for the show.

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for that show. cheers dunco Re: First time build - Tribute homes Townsville 14May 22, 2014 10:52 am I'm glad that you are all so happy. That's great but I can only reiterate that my experience was very disappointing on a number of issues. I can't really go into it on this forum but I would suggest that any future people contemplating using Tribute Homes do their homework very carefully. I would suggest talking with several people who have built with them as I know I'm not alone with my experience. It's always a good idea to talk to the tradies they use too. I guess that would be wise advice to anyone contemplating building a home. Good luck for the future and again, I'm glad it's all going well for you.
