We are sooooooo torn as to who to go with! Gemmill and Dale's quotes came back roughly the same except Gemmill is their designer spec range and Dale's it's the basic (I think it's called Lifestyle?) Dale's obviously have a good reputation and can get the house built quicker (which is another incentive) Gemmill is the designer spec so possibly won't spend as much money at pre-start. Argh - I am literally about to make a pros and cons list! Im interested as to why you think Dales will build your house quicker. Did they give you an actual timeline already. I think their build times are probably ok or good. But we took ages just to get to slab. We signed with them in July 2012 and only had the slab down in March 2013. The block was already ours so there were no delays on our part. In saying that, communication with them since building has commenced has been great. It's so hard to decide isn't it. Such a big investment. Just go with your gut feeling and hope for the best! My build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64437 Re: Our dream home in Bedfordale!! 18Jun 08, 2013 6:36 pm I haven't posted in a while as we were going back and fourth with the two builders. We have finally decided on Dale Alcock Homes! Yay! I'm super excited they won out in the end as I love the fact they have Jemima! I think all companies should have social media advisors - such a way of the future! Since we signed a week ago we haven't heard from them again except our deposit has been taken out of our account haha. I think (?) they must be doing final plans? I'm not really sure what the next step is. Any who, I'm starting a blog on our build as at the same time we are also moving to Perth having lived in the Pilbara our entire lives so quite a few changes! My blog is still a work in progress so I won't add it to my signature yet but if anyone wants to check it out its www.buildingmanny.blogspot.com As soon as I get our final plans, ill post them on here. We're building a modified version of the Mansfield. It's a little bit tricky building something off the plan without having seen it so fingers crossed it will look great in the end!

Dale Alcock Homes. 19Jun 08, 2013 7:53 pm We are building the falls creek, very similar to the Mansfield I think! I think once you make the decision, you feel a lot better. Then you can solely concentrate on that design and builder. We have been pretty happy with them so far. Fingers crossed you get our SS and CLO as they have been great and very good with communication. Feel free to ask any questions. Our houses and locations are so similar. Good choice! My build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=64437 Re: Our dream home in Bedfordale! Dale Alcock Homes. 20Jun 10, 2013 1:18 pm Love your plan Tracyw... I keep seeing all these other plans and think they are better than mine. The only thing I really wish our plan had was a utility/drop zone but its not really going to work with our plan. We have added an extra metre into the garage so there will be enough space in front of the cars for some shelving or something. My husband tells me I have to stop looking at floor plans as I keep changing my mind and wishing I had something else. Was everyone else like this? How long after you get your final plans do you usually have to tell them your final colours so they can submit to the shire? We live 1200kms away from Perth and will need to make a trip down to have a look at some displays as we have no idea what we want our exterior to look like. Brick or render etc...
