After approaching several builders in Canberra I could not find a plan that would suit my needs. After doing some online research I approached Matthew Smith of Gold Ruby with my requirements who then showed me around several houses he had under construction at the time. One happened to suit our needs and that was the one we ended up building with a few alterations to the plan. Where other builders have fancy display homes and other office staff (which you end up paying for anyway) Gold Ruby has none of this - there good name speaks for themselves. Only after starting the build I found that a work colleague was building with them there second house and had nothing but praise for Gold Ruby. Having no other builder to compare with makes it difficult but from what I have seen and heard (and now experienced) Gold Ruby is one of the most flexible builders to deal with. You are dealing first hand with Mathew (as opposed to office staff) and is always available to discuss any issues in a professional manner. His tradies were also available during the build process. The quality of the build is excellent and definitely not expensive for the inclusions offered. The biggest plus in going with Gold Ruby was that I was able to access the site without making an appointment. Hey, I own the block and I have every right to be on it. Other builders stop you from entering (mainly due to liability if something happens or this is the excuse they use) but I would rather pick up on a mistake before the end of the building process rather than having it fixed at the end. I have seen and heard this first hand with other builders as they would rather fix something at the end even after you have moved in. Oh and in case somebody is wondering, yes I do have a white card and thus I could enter legally to do cabling work which I was licensed to do on my property. There was an ongoing issue after the warranty period had finished but Matt went above and beyond to get the problem resolved. I would be more than happy to go again with Gold Ruby when the time comes to build again. I recommend them highly. Wow I hadn't realised things had gotten that pricey in just a couple of years since I built, that is crazy with how much land is now costing if you aren't lucky enough to… 3 7112 9 24791 Thank you. Do I use timber floorboards for stairs or do people use timber treads? Or is both the same? 6 7272 |
