Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 22Sep 22, 2013 10:01 pm Hi everyone. I can see this thread is a little old, but, I am just wondering if anyone is currently building with Ashford homes. If so, how is it going? What stages are you at? Quality? Build time? Any information would be great. Thanks! Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 23Oct 17, 2013 2:22 pm Hi I am happy to say i built with ashford and we finisehd about 6 months ago. They just did their maintenance last week.. i still had 6 months to do it. but there wass omly a minort 2 items some paint touch ups and some cracking on the cornice in our alfresco. I built in Point cook. I live in WA and they managed everything for me really well. My brother in law is a builder and he completed the inspections for me and said everything was done really well. .. a couple of "usual" errors as he called them but fixed pretty qucickly and superviser often mentioned them to my BIL before he saw them. I said i would wait before writing on here until my maintenance . .but am happy to do so as i promised the sales manager. Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 24Feb 14, 2015 4:03 pm Hi there I can see that this forum has been running for a few years, but wondering if any other members or readers are building with Ashford Homes recently? I would love to hear how your journey is going or how it ended. I am currently signing a contract with them and looking forward to hearing some recent comments. Cheers Noni Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 25Feb 14, 2015 5:09 pm @Guys CM just out of curiosity, did you make selections from WA or were you living in vic at the time? Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 26Feb 16, 2015 8:33 am Hi There Noni_77, We are building with Ashford, haven't quiet started as yet. So I can't comment on the building process yet, but can say the staff have been great, as we have been going through colour selections, and finalising the plans. We are now waiting on the building permits, hopefully not too much longer! Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 27Jul 10, 2015 3:02 pm Hi guys, we have also signed up to build with Ashford, a modified version of the Ancouley, we have been waiting ages for our land to settle so we are definitely ready to get going - plans and colour selection etc all finalised - just waiting on our land to be released (hopefully sometime in the next month). Look forward to hearing how everyone else goes. Whereabouts are you building? We are in outer Eastern Melbourne. My blog: tashandpaul.wordpress.com Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 28Jul 12, 2015 7:50 pm these guys were awesome. we modified the plan so many times without a single cost. at first they ask what kind of house we wanted so they gave us a design then me and my wife studied it and made a lot of rearrangements and etc. so those who are planing to build a new house if you got a quote from a different builder bring it to ashford and they will beat the price. and of course not same design Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 29Sep 06, 2015 5:32 pm Hi Sjh99, TashPaul & jedaking Thanks for replying to my post. We have signed our contract with Ashford Homes and now waiting for site start. Just wondering how you guys are progressing with your builds... positive & negative.... Especially the finishes inside the homes, cornice, plaster work, painting, slab, kitchen doors & bench. Thanks in advance Noni_77 Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 30Jul 03, 2016 11:02 pm Hi. I see its been 9 months since I last posted on here, when we signed our contract. Well we have finally reached site start! The delays have been a combination of bad real estate agents trying to sell our existing home, bad brokers such as RAMS that take forever to arrange a loan then come back with contracts that are wrong so I started all over again with Westpac..., and then also disorganised office administration at Ashford Homes and a lot of back and forth before plans are perfect. I've created a blog for interested followers if you want to follow our journey. http://www.thebuildingjourney.wordpress.com . How is everyone else going with your builds ? Finished yet? Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 31Jul 10, 2016 7:45 pm Hi Noni_77, we have just started building with Ashford Homes. We signed up two years ago but had a very long delay on our land titles. Site start was the start of April, then we had to wait 5 weeks between scrapping and slab. I have NO idea why, Ashford have been very bad at communicating! Slab was poured on a Monday and by the Friday half of the frame was up. That was 4 weeks ago and now nothing... Apparently there is a delay with steel, so they can't complete the frame yet. It has been very frustrating. I'm hoping to start my own thread soon of our build. Re: Anyone building with Ashford Homes 32Jul 19, 2016 1:56 pm Hi Noni_77. We started at the end of January and the build was progressing quite well. However, we lost our Site Supervisor to other sites about 5 weeks ago (someone else resigned so things got shuffled) and unfortunately not much happened during that time. We have a new SS as of last week though so I am crossing my fingers that things get back on track. It has been 5.5 months and we are at the last stage - painting, tiling, carpets, electrical, brick cleaning etc still to go. The last few weeks have been stressful as our landlord wants us out asap and with no action on the house we have felt a bit helpless. I am happy with the quality so far. Will do another update when I have some news.

Hi Party_of_5, How are you progressing? Are you in the Northern suburbs? Still nothing Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you.
