But for me, its just a disaster. For us it took almost 5 months to complete the plan stage and CDC approval. CDC approval took almost 2 months. Provincial homes were not prepared with the engineering design. They entered to site for excavation 1.5 months back. Still no sign of slabs and piers. I was informed, it may take another 1 month for them to do slabs. 100% sure, they wont be able to build home in due time frame.But as like yours, they said 5 weeks of holiday break to us too. We were the first to settle the registered land in our block. But by the way how things are progressing, we will be last completing the build of home. All together we are looking 1.7 years to complete a double storey home of 30sq without flooring(iam getting it done separatly) I really should have consulted few guys who already built home with provincial homes. But a lesson learnt. Never, never Provinical homes. Looks like another few weeks wasted for me. I was told after signing final variations they would be good to start in 3-4 weeks. My interpretation of the contract was exactly this also. I called them after 2 weeks to double check we are all systems go and I couldn't get through to anyone but was told "If they need anything they will call me". Should have pushed to get through to someone since 3.5 weeks after signing the final variations I got an email with the final plans and asking how my electrical appointment is going. Clipsal never sent it through and they only raised it now. So apparently they have 4 weeks from now to start on site. For you though I would pay close attention to what they do with Rain days. I double checked the HIA contract and they MUST contact you within 10 days of being aware of the delay to request an extension of time. I know if they go overtime on mine ill be telling them to get stuffed if they just calculate rain days at the end of the contracted time frame. Also I did have a look on this forum before deciding to go with them and from what I saw most were good stories. Unfortunately in the last 2 months it seems to be nothing but bad stories. Re: Provincial Homes 540Sep 15, 2017 2:14 pm I too have been told that they are running behind and the piers will be a few weeks away. We were one of the first to register in our sub division and we know have several neighbors who have moved in and we don't even have a slab. We were warned by a couple of other builders but thought they were just making up stories to get the business. should have listened! The Dulux colour consultants are awesome. If you show them the photos they should be able to figure it out for you straight away 1 1918 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 109423 Hi there!
