That's terrible. I wouldn't be surprised if a similar article isn't released shortly about my builder! Really sounds like OP dodged a bullet C U S T O M. C O R A L.

Do you think it's safe to say they are all operating the same state to state and just the names are different? We are meant o have colour selection on Friday and feel like we should pull the pin on Newstart. Any advice would be great thank you.

Home Australia is the over-arching company for Newstart, Ashford, Huxley and Homestead (and one in WA I think) - yes they are all the same and the senator Bob Day is the sole director of everything. I am with you and extremely concerned because I am almost at site with Homestead in SA and haven't had the smoothest of experiences through the admin stage. If I were you I would seriously consider looking elsewhere - I have a feeling that if Huxley or Ashford go under the rest will follow suit Re: Huxley Homes 13Oct 09, 2016 8:41 pm I have contracted to them, it was unprofessional there's no quality, we started frame no garage door beams or alfresco a house frame if trusses are ready should take a day tied down a day and a half max, frames took us sometimes a week to complete due to not having correct tie down or supervisors just dicking around in general. Same with eaves and it felt like 4 months in between frame straighten which is where we put windows in remove braces cut out doorways etc, and fixout never ending dramas Re: Huxley Homes 15Oct 09, 2016 9:14 pm Yeah look I'm just saying that from a QLD perspective the owners were incredibly drained and stressed, find a builder with a solid trade base and good supervisors there the guys who push things along Re: Huxley Homes 16Oct 14, 2016 6:44 pm LochietheChippy I have contracted to them, it was unprofessional there's no quality, we started frame no garage door beams or alfresco a house frame if trusses are ready should take a day tied down a day and a half max, frames took us sometimes a week to complete due to not having correct tie down or supervisors just dicking around in general.

Lol Re: Huxley Homes 17Oct 14, 2016 8:01 pm Hi Ladybugs, we've just pulled the pin with Homestead and we were about to go to site. Both the state manager and finance officer told us that the interstate companies are dead (Ashford and Huxley) and the problems are now spreading elsewhere, already build times here in SA are delayed and work has stopped on some sites. I would definitely recommend looking elsewhere, even if you have to forfeit a deposit it's a small price to pay for peace of mind. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 77655 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
