Are you engaging an independent building inspector?
I'm not sure. Would like to know what others think about it.
We are still pondering that one.

Anyone wanna share some idea about the floor plan? Hey, We have done the same. We put a deposit down on the Newport 361. Where abouts are you building? Did you grab one of the options booklets with standard floor plan changes? Here is a list of the changes we are making: Ashmond Facade 2nd WIR to master (we are also adding a bath and making non standard changes to the ensuite) Changing the 3 bedrooms across the back to 2 and giving both WIRs Walk in pantry and reducing linen to a standard size (option 1 in the option book) Removing the wall in the kitchen/dining/family room Side entry stairs Under Stair Storage Rather than an L bench in the kitchen. Extending bench return, having a 90mm gap and turning the return into an island bench Our block is 16m so we are extending the garage by 2m to fill the block That is the main changes. Regards, Jeff Hi We also want to add extra wall infront of stairs. Just wondering is it enough bright? Thanks Re: Who's building with Fairhaven Homes in Melbourne? 33Feb 10, 2023 9:23 pm I wouldn’t build with Fairhaven, they are absolutely unreliable, after 1 year our house is still not finished. Management are leading us on from 1 week to another, excuses for everything. Making promises, but never keeping them, we never get straight answer, management and staff at the office are rude, communication non existent and lots of their staff resigning and not really doing their job. Their sales representative was the only nice person from the whole company. We are looking to do a KDR with fairhaven homes, Have seen plenty of good reviews about them pre construction and plenty of negative reviews about them during contruction… 0 18183 May I ask why you chose not to use GJ Gardiner? I'm actually meeting with one of the sales guys tomorrow for an appointment. Definitely not signing anything yet… 3 13693 I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home. Not only did I find Matt Lowe patronising and a bully, but the home is NOT TO CODE. I have water coming through the bricks… 1 14833 |
