Browse Forums General Discussion Re: Building with Dechellis - has anyone any advice? 6Feb 27, 2019 1:39 pm Unfortunately, you won't be able to evaluate internal/structural quality of the build by looking at the display homes. What helps a lot if you find an owner (or better multiple owners) how had independent inspections of their build at each stage and will be happy to provide you those reports as well discuss how quickly/professional they were in resolving issues found by independent building inspectors. The overall visual quality of the interior finishes is not that important as it is something which can be easily fixed/resolved at any time.

IF only everyone would listen to the above advice,building practices would improve,text book advice,take note new home builders or risk a russian roulette type building experience. Re: Building with Dechellis - has anyone any advice? 8Feb 27, 2019 2:54 pm I am so glad we hired independant inspectors for our build. Though it took a lot of effort convincing DH but eventually it was ll worth it. They picked up a couple of problems at stage 2 which were rectified by the builder promptly. Our build will be finishing soon so left with one last inspection.

Our build will be finishing soon so left with one last inspection. It would be really great if later you could (confidently) share your building inspection reports as well as comment on your experience in rectifying issues with the future customers. May be it is a good idea to create a public resource where customers can purchase such reports/experiences directly from the previous customers of the certain builder, by the way. This will be so much more more valuable than just reading text reviews. It will also help to push unreliable builders out of the market. This can probably be done pushing this directly to the independent building inspection companies such as Derbecca, who can ask their clients to opt in for this service and potentially receiving some kind of free extra money and eventually paying out the cost of the inspection/service.
