I wish I had known them before signing up with our current builder. Mind I ask why the recommendations? Re: Good builders in Perth without "dale alcock" price tag 19Nov 09, 2014 3:41 pm Raytia The quality of a home is NOT solely dependent upon the trades that work in them. Agreed, it is very important, but people forget that materials in a home are also extremely important. To clarify: our house cost us 300k to build, the house next door is approx. half that. They have a 25 ceiling hardiflex alfresco, ours is 33c plasterboard. Their doors and windows are lowest quality Jason Windows, ours are high quality with low e glazing. We have sarking under our roof tiles, they don't. We have insulation in our double brick walls, they don't. And the list goes on and on. It's things like that that make the difference in price too: a more expensive builder simply adds more and better stuff in your home. (not trying to bag my neighbour, they have a lovely first home, but quality wise it doesn't compare to ours).. So Raytia, who did you build with?

The pool of tradies in Perth is very shallow so they are all transient and who you get is purely luck of the draw. DAH charge more but they don't deliver any more than builders who are charging significantly less. This is the exact argument I have in mind. We're definitely in shortage of tradies in WA, but the demand for houses is so high now..you can see why I'd rather not just go with the more well known builders as I don't think they can control the situation in the industry too even though they charge more. This certainly doesn't look good. I would be engaging with an independent inspector to have a look at this.
