Re: dennis family homes 16Mar 11, 2009 8:42 pm NoviceBuilder We are currently building with Dennis Family. Our site start was last Friday. In our experience the contract stage took approximately 3 months. We had a month delay due to the Christmas break over January and after two variations we arrived at our site start date last Friday. From the time of initial consultation we had regular contact with the sales consultant to get to a proposal stage at which time I paid the $1000 deposit. From that point it was just waiting for the contract to be produced. About one month into the wait for the contract we received a call from the DFH Colour Consultants to arrange our colour appointment which is held at their colour room at their head office in East Malvern. We are also provided with a colour pack which provides the contact details of their preferred suppliers. We utilised the rest of the contract stage to visit the suppliers to select colours, styles etc which made the colour appointment very straight forward. Hope this answers the questions you have raised. Regards NoviceBuilder Thats a very clear and excellent explanation, Novice Builder. Spot on Congratulations on your site start! We have also paid our $1,000 deposit with DFH now, just waiting for the soil report to come thru. hoping that our site costs wont blow up. We will be having our colour appointment just after the easter break. Cant wait for that! We have been contacting and visiting the suppliers to the available selection, which is great! Its good to know that people generally have been happy building with DFH. It gives us more confidence. oh by the way, we are building the Harvard from the Aspirations series.

We are building with Dennis Family Homes, who have been fantastic. The process itself has been a little stressful at times and there have been some lengthy delays early on as when we paid our deposit our land wasn't titled. A lengthy waiting period was frustrating but at the same time not the fault of anyone and couldn't be helped. We paid our deposit in Feb 08 and our slab was layed in November! Currently we are at lock up stage, the wet areas were tiled today and our supervisor (who has been awesome!) has given us approx. 4 weeks until handover. Exciting, i can't wait! We are starting small as it's our first home and only the two of us (for now) we are building the Barwon from the Generations series. We also delt with the Taylors Hill Office, who were really great. We are building In the Tenterfield Estate in Burnside Heights (close to Taylors Hill). Re: dennis family homes 20Apr 06, 2009 2:46 pm We are building the Columbia with DFH and they have been terrific - we went through their financial advisors too and Neil has been just wonderful. I am building with my brother. We haven't got our contract yet, our land doesn't settle till early July so we are just waiting at the moment. We had some dramas with the lawyers for the land vendors which were a bit silly, but our sales consultant and finance dude were only too happy to call them and tell them they were being unreasonable!
Can highly recommend so far...we did have dealings with one uninterested sales consultant at a display village, but the other people involved have been far superior to her and made the experience worthwhile!
