Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Orion Homes in Armstrong Creek, VIC. 36Feb 05, 2019 8:45 pm We have had the same problems folks. Avoid these people at all costs. The biggest regret we have is choosing these corrupt people to build our home. We signed contracts in October 2017, didnt even break soil on titled land until April 2014. We’ve been through 3 supervisors to date and they’re still not finished. Problems at every stage of the build. We’ve had independant inspectors that have compiled 40 + page defect reports at every stage which they just ignore anyway!! We’ve opened a case with VCAT with them as well. They have blamed everyone from the building surveyor, tradies, to the building inspectors who they believe dont know wha they are talking about!! The standard of work is very rough, their trades people have no pride in their work whatsoever. Just constant problems, issues, no communication, they ignore you when you raise issues and dont return calls or correspondance. Ive had numerous meetings with construction manager, building supervisor and customer service manager. We have the same issues as everyone on here, so everyone cant be wrong folks!! They have literally drove us to our wits end with this build and put us off ever building again, and still no end in sight at this stage. They are also out of contract with us. We could honestly write a book. It annoys me so much that they get away with it. If i can save anyone the heartache of these people, ill do all that i can. Totally horrendous experience. Avoid at all costs!!! Re: Building with Orion Homes in Armstrong Creek, VIC. 37Feb 08, 2019 11:21 am Another victim here as well. 9months in and its a nightmare, I could go on for days with issues. We drove around the estates in Geelong region/Armstrong there is 15 house in the same boat 9-12 months in. I feel everyone’s pain. We have a new name for them #slorion PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE. Re: Building with Orion Homes in Armstrong Creek, VIC. 38Mar 03, 2019 11:20 am We moved in June 2018 after a 12.5 month build and still have not heard a thing from them for our 6 month inspection. Obviously we will have to hassle them once again. An absolutely shocking run company whereby a lot of the office staff are all related so nothing is ever going to be done. Re: Building with Orion Homes in Armstrong Creek, VIC. 39Mar 04, 2019 8:27 am It just annoys me so much that owners just seem to have to sit back and take it from them despite so many problems and issues. They just get away with it, the most frustrating people to deal with. If nothing changes, then they will just continue to get away with it with no repercussions and more decent hard working people will just fall victim to it. We need to group together and take some action, either legal or collectively contact A current affair or something and expose them and their practices.

I have posted this before: We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing. Thorough reports… 2 4655 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 76002 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 106669 |
