Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 13, 2017 7:12 pm Would love to hear other people's experience of building with GJG , especially Brisbane Northside. We are at final stages of drafting and all colour selections complete. It has been a very traumatic and stressful experience thus far and hoping the build goes smoothly. I have learnt many lessons along the way , and hoping our mistakes , will help others avoid many pitfalls and hidden costs. Re: First time builder - Gj Gardner Galleria 250 - Brisbane 2Mar 14, 2017 6:22 am We are currently building with GJ... A traumatic experience with GJ or just to get to this point? We aren't really having a great time... if I had my time over again I would have chosen a different builder Sorry to be a downer on your thread, there are others on here that are having a good experience with GJ, unfortunately that's just not us... Following along Can you post your floor plan and colour selections?

We have stuck it out as adore our plans and it's taken 9 months to get to this stage , I can't face starting again. I just hope the build goes easier than the negotiations of contracts. Communication is a very good thing to utilise and we felt rather let down by GJG Northside , luckily eventually we have got there with a plan we adore and choices we are happy with but it has been unbelievably stressful !
