Re: Mega Homes (Melbourne) anyone??? 15Jan 21, 2011 11:44 am Hi, This is a very old post but if you're still active on this forum can you advise if you went ahead with Mega Homes? I am talking to them regarding building my first home but wanted to know if anyone has had prior experience with this builder from Williamstown. Regards, MP Re: Mega Homes (Melbourne) anyone??? 16Jan 23, 2011 5:51 pm Mega Homes built my brothers house. Finish seems to be OK though getting them to repair anything after hand-over is a bit of a challenge.. (as it is with most builders i assume!) Re: Mega Homes (Melbourne) anyone??? 17Mar 15, 2019 5:14 pm My wife and I built with Mega in 2015. We had a contract agreed to and signed by all parties. At the end, they requested final stage payment - which was all good... We went to the office to sign off on everything and collect the keys, etc, then they hit us with "you owe us $20,000 for overages we incurred during construction..." They were unable to advise me exactly what for or why we should be paying $20K over the quoted & contracted amount. To this day, they still feel we owe them money, and are trying to get money back, but we keep fighting them. I spoke to someone today at Consumer Affairs, and they are not surprised - they are hearing a lot of complaints lately about Mega Homes... All in all, the build is fine, can't complain with that - Graeme, our contractor builder assigned to our project was great to work with - just the office cannot get paperwork right, don't understand technology, aren't too flexible, and their finance broker to established the NAB home loan was a joke - glad we only had to work with him for a week and nothing longer! This is the short version!! My advice to anyone looking now in 2019 - STAY AWAY!!! BEWARE!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home. Not only did I find Matt Lowe patronising and a bully, but the home is NOT TO CODE. I have water coming through the bricks… 1 14405 May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner? I'm actually meeting with one of the sales guys tomorrow for an appointment. Definitely not signing anything yet… 3 13260 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 24833 |
