Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Darwin Builders 38Jul 27, 2016 10:52 pm Hey guys, great post! We previously built our first home with abode homes off the plan didnt have any dramas with them, but a post like this would've been great back then! since then we have decided to upgrade and we were recommended by two of our friends to build with Alpha Homes (as they did), and i have to say they are pretty good. Worth chatting with the guys if your after a quote, its a family of 4, George, Nick, Natalie, Katina, flick them an email and they respond within the day. There standards are very good as well, and they do custom builds (which we did) and were very accommodating. One thing i didn't pay attention to last time is how builders look after there work site and Alpha keeps there site very clean (clean as a work site can be of course) compared to others and they also fence of the block, which made us feel like they put more effort into their work and keep the their tradies in line. What i also liked is you do walk through during the build tp double check everything, also amongst other things you get 2 power points in every room and extra power points are only $50 not $250 like the previous post stated lol Overall really happy with the process. Highly recommend. The other builder we were recommended was Tropical, but they didnt return our email when we were chasing quotes and overlander are good i heard.. Probably avoid the bigger ones. Re: Darwin Builders 40Sep 24, 2016 11:52 am Well, we bought the block in June, I had my heart set on having Vantage Homes build our house, so we're going with them. We signed contracts two days ago, but the house has been designed (Dennis, their designer, has been very patient), the rock breaker thingy was in on Thursday preparing for the new back fence and the pool. On the plus side, there are a lot of pretty rocks we can use in landscaping. Tom has been a delight to deal with and very obliging. He's taken us through two of the homes they've built, and I went through a four year old one a few years ago (fell in love) and they are all beautifully built and finished. We've chosen our tiles, bathroom fittings, kitchen has been designed, finishes chosen, and he's having timber samples sent up so he can lay a section for me (Forest reds). I'm very excited and looking forward to seeing our dream home emerge. Site works are just about to start on our build with Blueprint in Midvale. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=106894 2 4119 Hi all, We are looking to build a new two storey house in western Sydney.
