They said we are moving to construction Thursday but not sure if that means they'll start something Thursday or if he'll just get our file. Nel I think that's when you are processed with the construction team & you will get a new cso. They sent us the letter dated 5/11 and we have been told that they will start tomorrow. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 828Nov 11, 2014 10:17 am Stokes_43 Mel + Rob, If they don't commence within the 20 days period the construction program commences from the date of the 20th day. So for example with both our builds we have a 32 weeks program and no matter what if they don't commence on the 20th day this program starts. I assume that they would not let you increase the liquidated damage amount from $1 in your contract so if after 32 weeks the build isn't finish we can start charge them, but they wont care about $1 a day. Effectively no incentive for the builder to start as we will pay more in interest on our land loans & rent they will if they go overtime. We were told we are third on the list for construction, currently don't have a construction or customer team contact. Were told we would commence construction mid to end of next week, which would put us right at the end of our 20 days. Hi Stokes, Did you have in your contract 32 weeks? Have you got a start date yet? Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 830Nov 11, 2014 1:33 pm We were told from the beginning that it was a 26 week contract. I checked my contract it says 26 weeks but there is a clause for an extra 5 weeks for Christmas close down. We start tomorrow too. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 831Nov 11, 2014 2:19 pm Rang Allworth the construction program is site specific and estimated by the site supervisor (therefore subjective). The 5 weeks for Christmas shutdown is added onto your construction program as well. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 832Nov 11, 2014 6:21 pm Congratulation guys, looking forward to see your site works. good luck to all.

Allworth cannot do 300mm eaves and I don't want to reduce a square of my house. Sorry to hear that rajy13. Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 837Nov 12, 2014 11:09 am mel+rob I went past our land this morning & saw that they have started. So many tradies around I'll go past this afternoon to get better pictures. Congrats Mel and Rob !! Re: Who is building with Allworth Homes 840Nov 16, 2014 8:52 pm Congrats Mel + Rob, that's great news. I rang up on Friday and we are apparently next to go. The site supervisor will get our file Monday (which will be the 20th working day) and I can contact him for an exact start date.... I REALLY hope something happens early this week! Nel.B Building the Serenade with Allworth Homes Blog: http://allworthserenadeatchisholm.blogspot.com.au/ I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 109904 Hi there! Putting the feelers out there for those who have (or almost) built with Arli homes! Interested in your experiences who've built from their stock home designs… 0 26731 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 25909 |
