Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone built with format or dechellis in sa? 16Jun 26, 2019 12:00 pm eri1469 Monkey55 Iguanatan How did you know??? Ha ha. Yes. 'I'. Hmmm. Slab to frame was 2.5 weeks. That beautiful blue steel goes up fast when they start. Here is to ending up with gorgeous homes in the end. I do still have faith that Format are a good builder, but there are some elements of the customer experience they must improve. Hahahahah... everyone knows!! Fingers crossed they start framing soon.... Im so sick of waiting!!! But yes - I dont doubt the quality will be there where abouts are you building? We are also building with Format homes - Wish i had seen this thread before, we signed in October 2018 and still haven't gone to council. Our consultant is completely useless and yes starts with an "I" . I seem to constantly be complaining to the manager about his inability to remember requests or even respond to emails. I'm hoping the finished product is far superior to the communication . Seeing as we haven't yet gone to council we are currently contemplating shopping around for another builder. Can anyone tell me if they were happy with their completed homes? Hi, We are basically at lock up with Format. The paperwork process extended to 10 months for us, slab was poured first week of March. We are on track for the 6 month build time. Im very happy with everything so far, no real mistakes have been made, brick work is immaculate. Communication is still pretty pathetic, but Im just banking on it will be worth it in the end! What area are you building in? Re: Anyone built with format or dechellis in sa? 17Jun 26, 2019 2:57 pm Hi, Thanks for that sounds like you are happy with the final product. Makes me feel a bit better. How exciting that you will be in soon. We are doing a knockdown/ rebuild on our acreage near McLaren Vale. They have said we will get our final house costing today but I'm not holding my breath!

Like Monkey55 we are at lock up with Format and have been very pleased with the build so far. There have been a couple of issues, but genuinely no huge deal. Look, I don't blame you for considering looking at other builders, there was a time where if we weren't so invested we would have ran.... but I really have hope that the final product will be worthwhile. Hi All, we are starting to think of building with Masterpiece Builders in Victoria, has anyone had any feedback or experience with them 0 13816 I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home. Not only did I find Matt Lowe patronising and a bully, but the home is NOT TO CODE. I have water coming through the bricks… 1 14592 Hi we are looking to talk to people who have built with them recently. We have signed mid range built contract but identified that a lot of things are not included.… 0 761 |
