Browse Forums Building A New House Re: KDR - Greystanes NSW - Lily Homes, Jasmine 34/36 14Jul 31, 2019 6:52 pm Seems to be a common theme Hiddle - glad we bailed out on them... We're about to lodge DA now, and the whole experience with Clarendon has been excellent. If i had one small whinge, it was the amount of time the plumbing team took to decide whether or not using an easement behind how block was feasible, it probably cost us 6 weeks. Not much in the scheme of things i guess ? We ended up going a bit crazy on kitchen / bathrooms etc but have a much nicer and bigger home for probably about 70k more than what Lily would have charged. I'm ok with that...

We bailed on Lilly after poor experience in the head office now with Beechwood we have upgraded alot but we wanted certain things and hopefully only doing this once. Still not convinced will get to build the house due to now a tree issue with council which is annoying as I raised the tree right up front as being a possible issue all of sudden the house doesn't fit with out moving forward and taking out a large native tree.

Hi Chellos, I sent off an email about 10 days ago to the colour consultant at Head office, just to clarify some issues.....no response, so 2 days ago, I sent off another email to check they received the first one.....still no response, she also never returns a phone call either. I'm getting so frustrated, to think we are about to spend a huge amount of money with them but they don't have any customer service. I'm thinking of ringing to speak to a manager. I really did't want to be one of those annoying pushy clients but I just think its so rude to not even respond to an email, even just to say "yep I received it". Sounds like Clarendon are a lot more organised and professional, you'll have to keep us updated on the build!

Its been a couple of years since your post, we are discussions with Lily homes and would love to hear how everything went in the end. Cheers Ally Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 13442 We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37139 |
