We are currently embarking on our new home build with Danmar Homes in the southern suburbs of Perth.
Our plans were custom designed and tendered to various builders which included one false start with a volume builder that went nowhere.
We eventually decided to build with Danmar homes due to their flexibility in allowing non-standard items. As a smaller builder we felt their lines of communication were more direct than a volume builder, so any issues we have had along the way have been easily resolved. Now I hope they do a great job with the build!
After almost a year of preliminary enquiries, design alterations and preparation we finally received our building license last week, and site works have begun.
