I'm not sure how to up load a photo using this forum on a phone to show you buy we are building the same house as you Felicity and say if you were standing looking at your hips from the side of the garage all 3 didn't line up. Site supervisor said it was normal but after speaking to his fellow site supervisors they decided it was not right and are now going to fix it for us. That means removing roof sheets etc as it is a structural thing. It was only picked up by another roof chippy on the site next down the road from us. So we met our SS on site and I have to say finally we had some comfort in knowing the place was getting looked after and were reassured he had it under control. It was all the little things that added up at the start just simple communication, a few things he shouldn't of said to me that made me feel like he was brushing me off. but I have to say if you get the chance to meet your SS and put a face to the name and run through the schedule of the build it puts your mind at ease! Re: Builidng with New Generation Homes 14Feb 11, 2014 1:39 pm I would recommend NG based on quality apart from the whole roof issue but at least it's getting fixed. We are very happy with everything else. If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't rush anything and ask questions when unsure at the start prevents heartache down the track. As for SS he probably could of handled dealing with our build better, have received an apology and he is really trying now. I think the worst thing is us feeling like our house was neglected in the way trades work being checked. The whole roof issue could of been avoided and the fact the roof sheeters didn't pick up on it either but in the end it's going to get fixed with no delays to the build time so we are happy. Re: Builidng with New Generation Homes 15Feb 12, 2014 10:27 pm Hi Ashlk, Good to hear you getting your roof sorted out now, will be following your build thread, as we are also building with Summit. Hopefully things run smoother the rest of your build. BUILDER SUMMIT HOMES | DESIGN THE MONACO 248 » Our Build Thread Re: Builidng with New Generation Homes 16Feb 14, 2014 12:20 am I am also building with NewGen in Heron Park. We are at contract stage at this moment. Well, I have read lot of feedback on NewGen and it was quite good. Based on your issues with roof , now I am also planning to involve the independent inspector from the starting of the build stage. BTW, we have signed NewGen Fast Track promotion and building Sutherland design (it is called as The Minerva currently).
