Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Escape Homes and Developments 7Apr 14, 2019 12:06 am My neighbor is building with Escape Homes. Their contractors are very unprofessional. Their construction commenced in August 2018, as of now 13/04/2019 for nine months not complete. What really annoy me is Escape Homes does not have good supervision on their contractors. Site supervisor Anthony never know what their contractors are doing on site. There are several times these unprofessional Escape Homes contractors invade into my land. These contractors removed my wire fence to gain access doing concrete work on their site and left-over wash concrete, excess soil on my land. I have contacted Escape Homes head office to resolve this issue. Stephanie and Mariese who work in the head office said they are too busy and have limited visibility managing 100+ contractors. This matter is now escalated to the Wyndham City council for investigation and remedial action. Also, the landlord of this property is being sent a demand letter to resolve this dispute suggested by DISPUTE SETTLEMENT CENTRE OF VICTORIA. In my view Escape Homes is considered unprofessional builder because, 1. You might startup with a sour relation with your new neighbor before even move into your new home because the damage done by Escape Homes to your neighbor property. 2. Escape Homes takes too long to complete the house. For instance, my neighbor commenced construction in August 2018 and till now I am experiencing their rookie contractors recently pushed debris into my land in preparation of the driveway work for the site. 3. If you call them, this builder assures you that they will act but in reality, nothing progress. Therefore, I am sharing this on YouTube for community awareness, where this site supervisor Anthony from Escape Homes had acknowledged the damage done to my vacant land that was cause by their contractors. Unfortunately, till today they did not remove the wash concrete, soil, crush rock mix sitting on my land. Here are some photos as well of my land before and after the damage made by Escape Homes during March 2019. Thank you for reading.

My final product was f*cked! Sarah84 Hi there, I have just finished building with Escape Homes & all I can say is, WHAT A NIGHTMARE! I was drawn to them as they offer an all inclusive package but have had nothing but long delays through every step of the process, all the additional items that we paid thousands for were never installed, you have to follow up with them constantly as they never tell you what is happening with your home. The final build quality was absolutely appalling. I genuinely advise you to find another builder!! Re: Escape Homes and Developments 10Apr 14, 2019 9:23 pm I could write a list of the BS they built for us. Not only did they give us the basic sh*t that they renamed 'luxury' but when we questioned it or asked to clarify we were treated like we had asked for itemised gold products!! We weren't even given tape to go through and checkover at end of the build, we were told it won't change anything! The service we got was second class yet paid $538k for the place and land. The best part?! Watching the b*stards leave after keys were handed over! 4218 Escape Homes & Developments Coomera, have been building 4 town houses for me and they poured the concrete driveway without the gas mains being installed, then decide to switch them all to LPG bottles, months overdue and still not complete, other issues and problems, now they have issued me a large variation bill with no signed variation agreements and put a security guard at the site so I can't even finish it myself now the building contract is terminated. I am interested in hearing from anyone who had, or has construction defects with work done by Escape Homes & Developments Coomera and their contractors.
