Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Experience with Sett Homes 151Aug 20, 2014 5:03 pm Hi Shash, I'm building in Edmondson park, Derna st. spoke to Joe and he quoted roughly around $1200/sqm, this was over the phone, he said only if i confirm then he can get me a detailed quote . I have been referred by a friend to White Design & construction as well. They are a bit quick in responding and i will be getting a quote this week. Their build is pretty good as well when i went and saw my friends house. Re: Experience with Sett Homes 152Aug 21, 2014 12:30 pm Mikeann Hi Shash, Sounds good. Looking at their website, they do have a few nice designs there. Good luck with it! The knockdown-rebuild is actually my parents house in Wetherill Park. I grew up in that house, so would be sad to see it get knocked down, but it is time to rebuild as it's a 30+ year house. Hi Mikeann, I can understand where you come from while thinking of rebuilding your parents home,but as they say the only thing permanent in life is change,any way good luck with it. Hi Sprint1, We are on derna st as well on lot 2185, what lot are you on may be the friend who recommended you to white is a known to us as well as we know a few people that have build with them. Re: Experience with Sett Homes 153Nov 20, 2014 8:34 pm My experience with Sett has been pretty bad too. feels like he doesn't care anymore. Doesn't return calls/emails. Drove all the way to his office from castle hill, he promised to get back to us with a quote in 2 weeks, two months and nothing. Called and left a message, returned my call after a week and told me to send an email to fix an appointment, which i did promptly, been 2 weeks now and still waiting for a response. pretty poor form if you ask me. imagine he does this half way through building a house. screw that. Plenty of cheap builders like Sett out there people. Give this guy the flick. Re: Experience with Sett Homes 154Nov 25, 2014 2:34 pm Hi everyone, We have just completed our build with Sett Homes and I've been following this forum since we signed the tender back in 2013. I have to say it was quite helpful. We can understand everyone's frustration in terms of poor communication and responses,it was not a great experience for that. Joe definitely requires more staff to mange this business properly. However in terms of the overall completion of the house, we are extremely happy and proud to have the house we do. The quality is fantastic and we have seen neighbours houses, who also built new houses, and the quality you cannot compare. My husband and I say the headaches of poor communication and responses was worth it in the end. If you can be patient with Joe and be persistent you will be a happy customer. Re: Experience with Sett Homes 155Nov 25, 2014 2:51 pm I second that aae123. Joe definitely needs more help in the office, but the quality of his work makes it all good. My home is nearing completion and it looks great Building with Sett Homes at Bardia (Edmondson Park) Re: Experience with Sett Homes 156Jun 24, 2015 4:35 pm Just wanted to say how disappointed I am with Sett Homes, saw Joe a few weeks ago about a tender to build my home, thought I would phone to see where it was up to, and was informed he was now away till the end of July. So I now have to wait another 4-5 weeks. I thought at least an email would have been nice to advise me.
