Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jul 28, 2017 8:15 pm Long time follower of Homeone now starting my own thread. we are building at Fernbrook Ridge Estate, Redbank Plains with Fresh homes. The reason for going with them is "Custom Design". We should be more excited to start our building but we are just having so many issue with the builder  . I am starting this thread for the people who wants to build with them in future. I found it hard to look for reference for fresh homes as they are not very big and new builder. Hope this thread would be a little help to the people who wants to build with them.Our Timeline: Land Booking: October, 2016 Deposit paid to Fresh Homes: April, 2017 Land Registration: 15th of June Contract sign: 26th of June Colour Selection: 5th of July Re: Custom design with Fresh homes 8Jul 28, 2017 9:51 pm Hey peter good to see your thread go up! The first couple of photos don't load I like your colour choices, they are quite similar to what we picked out. The bench and cabinets are very similar, as are the basins and tapware! Are you just waiting on council approval now or? Re: Custom design with Fresh homes 9Jul 28, 2017 9:57 pm Yeah, it took me a while to learn how to upload a photo
the photos are from photobucket, may be that's why it's not working. I am trying to give my plan again Front facadeLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Our custom planLike ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Custom design with Fresh homes 11Jul 28, 2017 10:07 pm  allblaqkHey peter good to see your thread go up!

Are you just waiting on council approval now or? Hi allblaqk, thank you. No we are still waiting for our variation to come back. Actually after signing the contract we are going nowhere! Builder is giving different prices for everything everyday. They said they will do covenant application first now they are saying they need to do working drawing first. And for working drawing they need all the variations. They are not giving any price clearly. We have got our soil test. They are saying we need E slab, that's why trying to charge us $7500 more but in quote they are saying it's just for piering. They are not mentioning $7500 for E slab. When we asked they said that's what the owner said! It's happening with everything. They have got very poor customer service and they are not honest! Re: Custom design with Fresh homes 12Jul 28, 2017 10:48 pm That sucks Hopefully they can get their sh*t together and give you the variation. I like your floorplan, the alfresco is really generous. All the best for your build, I have subbed to your thread since we are practically neighbours  Re: Custom design with Fresh homes 13Jul 28, 2017 10:49 pm Oh i just see you've added some more photos, I have contemplated some of those same tiles  You have good taste!Re: Custom design with Fresh homes 14Jul 28, 2017 10:56 pm Haha...thanks.

Building house is already stressful, I don't want anymore stress😣 I'll invite you around to our housewarming  Hopefully once you get out of the admin stage and into the actual build it gets less stressful for you.
