Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Valeco homes 3Nov 02, 2018 5:25 pm Tashmc Hi Cory, We are just completing our build with Valeco and we have had no extra costs or surprising bills. Just our contracted price. Hope that helps. Hi Tashmc, Good to know. Is your contracted price close to the estimate/quote given by the sale consultant? Re: Valeco homes 5Nov 02, 2018 6:03 pm Estimated price was basically spot on give or take certain upgrades that weren't included in the first few estimate's. I can honestly say our build has been great no problems or set backs, and our ss is awesome. Having said all that every single build is a different experience. We had heard so many bad things about them and we're hesitant to even go there, but I'm so glad we did wouldn't change a thing. Communication is the key. Re: Valeco homes 6Nov 20, 2018 1:17 pm We informed them of all the upgrade we wanted early on so the sales quote was spot on. Plus got credit back on council fees that werent used (narrow block). Shouldnt be any difference unless you want changes after the contract. Wouldnt recommend Valeco though. 2014 Custom Home - Antech Constructions - 2018 Custom Home - Valeco Homes Re: Valeco homes 8Feb 16, 2019 11:07 pm I have a friend who built with Valeco. He said from the start of the build it ran smoothly and had a great site supervisor. But everything from when the contract was signed until the build started was a nightmare and for that reason alone wouldn't use them again. I know one of their site supervisors, and he's a pretty switched on guy, but no idea what the rest are like. It's a tough call to make - I've heard people going through Clarendon Qld who've had a rough time, but my time so far has been pretty easy. Partly luck of the draw I guess? Though the admin phase is tedious enough, I'd hate for it to be any worse than it had to. Clear as mud right?
