After i signed contracts i was still able to make changes. I was provided post contract variations, but once the final drawings were done i wasn't able to change anything else. My colour scheme now is more like the standard board Mediterranean.

Re: First home builders! - Building through eight homes.... 11Dec 05, 2017 12:54 am Hi Danielle, congrats on your first home. We are also building their Tempo 27 with Eight Homes. We are at PCI stage and should be just few weeks till handover. Our experience is very positive so far with some minor issues. Our site started in July 2017 so about 5 months and almost there. The sales and pre-site experience was really good. we went through the color selection as the sales consultant waived $750 for us. I actually told him i will not put any deposit unless this is waived and a complementary upgrade to timber looking garage he managed to get that approved as we took the gold pack too. The communication is great with the on site customer service and the supervisor calls back promptly. However, like with any builder you need to be very close with construction progress by visiting site very regularly. Also Independent Inspector is a good idea. We used one as well. So far no major construction issues which is great. Best wishes to you. some photos for you Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ 1 comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: First home builders! - Building through eight homes.... 12Jan 28, 2018 2:50 pm Persol Hi Danielle, congrats on your first home.

Thanks so much for your reply Your house is looking amazing, hope you're in it & settled now We didn't think to play hard ball like you did haha, good work! We are going to our contract meeting in 2 weeks & hoping to have all of our queries RE: upgrades & changes etc answered, we just can't wait for it to be built already! There is someone else in our estate who are building through 8homes and i am just so excited to watch their build & see the progress, so far they're one of the only ones with fences up and pipework started, hoping ours follows suit Danielle. Re: First home builders! - Building through eight homes.... 13Jan 30, 2018 11:26 pm Hi Danielle, unfortunately we are still not in which is very frustrating! The end of contraction is pretty disappointing as the supervisor keeps missing things and fails timelines. To be honest pretty ordinary service from this super user. Yes they were onsite pretty quick but the build time does drag. We have houses has site start after 2 months of ours and did the handover last week despite lots of follow up. We are now preparing the final payment and hoping handover next week. Hope your experience will be a goon one. My suggestion will be stay close with construction and keep following up things. Re: First home builders! - Building through eight homes.... 14Jan 31, 2018 7:57 pm Hi Persol, Oh i'm disapointed to hear that for you; that mus be so frustrating. We have heard your same complaints from quite a few people which is a bit of a worry to be honest. I hope everything finishes smoothly & quickly for you! We live around the corner from where we will be building and is almost on route of our drive home so we will definitely be staying on top of the whole build that's for sure! All the best Persol.
