I am so sorry to hear about all of the trouble that you,re having I know how you feel.....we signed up with Hickinbotham July07 and our bricks have just been finished..... It has been a very frustrating process made even worse by the complete lack of communication It took them 11 months for the contract stage...we have no idea why as the council only took 2 weeks for approval and we really haven,t changed the plan at all. There,s so much more that I could say,but won,t,so I wish you lots of luck and really hope that they get it right this time! P.S the communication is so much better now that they have started building,so hang in there Cheers Mel Building on 9 acres Re: Any comment on statesman homes ? 17Oct 28, 2008 3:58 pm Hi Mel,
I saw at the start of this thread you're building at Mt Compass. Lovely down there Our development is Hickinbotham houses only, and the general feeling in that place is Hickinbotham is incompetent. We have spoken to a few of our neighbours and they have all had dramas regarding the length of time taken to get to the construction stage. We thought that it would take around 5 or 6 months when we originally signed up, how wrong we were! On a happy note, I just did a quick drive by and they have done our carport and lower level of the house (slab). I will hopefully go back up and take some photos before it gets dark...I didn't take the camera as I am so sick of packing it and driving down there to find nothing has happened! I am glad your communication issues picked up after building started. I have been really angry with the way they've taken our money and then run away...contacting us only for more money. Even when there's a problem we've had to chase them up because things have been sitting idle for months. Anyway, I've now enrolled the kids in a school down there starting term 1 next year, so I will be really angry if things are delayed further. I don't fancy driving down there twice a day for the next 12 months because of their incompetence Re: Any comment on statesman homes ? 18Jun 30, 2010 11:54 am Hi All, Sorry to comment on an Old Thread, however me and my partner just recently signed a contact with Statesman Homes to build the "Evanston" modified in Parafield Gardens..
