Looks great. I found it really hard seeing your house looking finished when it’s still a month away. I noticed they’ve installed your range hood. They didn’t install ours until after handover with the rest of the appliances. Re: KDRB Bentley Homes Kyalami 370 34Nov 06, 2018 5:14 pm Kevin E Thanks for your help and advice. Im at the first step with sales consultant of Bentley homes craigieburn. Gonna build Ritz445. Tried to be as thorough as possible. Paid 2k. Waiting for colour scheme stage. Will keep you posted. Hi Kevin, if you don’t mind me asking how much did the Ritz end up costing total? With site costs etc. We love the design but not sure if it will fit in our budget. Re: KDRB Bentley Homes Kyalami 370 35Feb 15, 2019 12:09 pm Hi. I'll be building the Kyalami 34 soon (hopefully June-ish) in Mernda. How is the house so far now that you've lived in it? Were there any problems to do after you moved in from Bentley end? How did your maintenance stage go? Would love to see photos if you're ok to share. My concern is the kitchen and the general lighting and power outlets, keeps messing with my mind if i made the right choice with drawers or not, number of lights/powerpoints,etc Re: KDRB Bentley Homes Kyalami 370 36Jul 07, 2020 9:05 pm I'm looking at building the Magellen from Bentley homes on a sloping block in sunbury. How are your houses now thatb you've lived in them for some time? Would love any feedback that might be helpful to me.

Thanks in advance Re: KDRB Bentley Homes Kyalami 370 38Jul 12, 2020 9:52 pm I've been in my Bentley home nearly 2 years now. I'm over in Doreen. This was my fourth build and I'd say that overall they were pretty good. Downside is they are much slower builders compared to the larger scale builders. My advice is to be weary if building with hebel. The company they used seemed to be quite novice, which resulted in them needing to attend multiple times post handover to do / finish the job correctly. I also don't recommend the largest front door they have on offer via Corinthian doors. It has been a 2 year long issue as the door (and replacement door) doesn't seal. Even though this isn't a Bentley issue, rather a Corinthian doors issue, Bentley offer it as an upgrade and I don't recommend you take it. Biggest issue is that I am still dealing with them 2 years later...not sure if you would see that as an issue or a positive that they are still willing to work with me to get things sorted under warranty. The staff have been mostly friendly and helpful. No issues with the house ongoingly in terms of quality of the build (minus the front door!) Hope that helps.
