Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Kurmond Homes 1698Apr 24, 2018 1:43 pm Yes, Everything is a delay with them, I haven't been able to pin them down on dates for ANYTHING. So my longest/stupidest delay.. I had my internal appointment in MAY 2017. My colour file was finalised in MARCH 2018 ... 10 months... I cannot even express the amount of stupidity I have dealt with. I was one of the 30 clients that got screwed over by a colour consultant who didn't know what she was doing, or was doing things wrong or who knows. I thought that would have put me in a better position now because I thought they may have tried to make up for it. But no.. 10 and a half weeks after council approval I don't have a contract.. Worst thing is, i have some competitive friends who bought in the same estate... Their 2 story house now has bricks... and I still have weeds.. What designs has everyone gone with?? Re: Building with Kurmond Homes 1699Apr 24, 2018 2:05 pm our colour was in October 2017 and the file was closed in March 2018.
and we also dealt with lovely Kristie (name changed) ............... which promised us to come back with our colours within 2 weeks after the appointment and when we called after 2 weeks we found out that she doesn't work there anymore. and there 4+ months of silence... we also have neighbours who got registered at the same time - and 2 weeks ago they had their bricks finished. if anyone is interested, they build with "new living homes". I cannot say much about them, I just see that they are probably 4-5 months ahead Kurmond. we are building Claremont 23 - it is a small double storey as our lot is very tiny. By the way, we always send them Bluebeam sketches as comments. my partner and I are both in design/construction industry so we usually know what we are talking about when commenting. We always try to make their like easier giving them all the needed info because coordination of projects with other consultants is part of our daily tasks. I have never dealt with such unprofessional people in my life. Re: Building with Kurmond Homes 1700Apr 24, 2018 2:26 pm Wow, Me too, I'm a project coordinator in the construction industry. Unfortunately sending them sketches in bluebeam doesn't help... I tried...I drew them a sketch of what my alfresco cabinets should have looked like... 4 revisions later and it's still not right. For the first 3 revisions I had a full height refrigerator (instead of an underbench bar fridge hole). Now i have a hole for it, with no bench.. so.. progress? I had my appointment in May with KB, and she didn't leave until Oct/Nov... and my file still hadn't been sorted by the time she left. As far as I know she didn't even send my amendments to the drafting department at all, because when I got assigned a new person it hadn't been done yet. I even had argued with KB for about 2 months over whether I had fly screens on my alfresco doors. Oh, and I had to call all the external suppliers myself and book my appointments AFTER my internal appointment, because she booked in my internal appointment, and till hadn't even emailed my file to the suppliers. So, probably no great loss there that she didn't work on your file. Although the replacement wasn't any faster... I didn't get any documents from her until FEB. 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 109232 Hi there! Putting the feelers out there for those who have (or almost) built with Arli homes! Interested in your experiences who've built from their stock home designs… 0 26434 Wish you all the best. Once you signed the contract, they will find millions excuses to charge you. And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 25710 |
