Browse Forums Building A New House Re: JG King- Ballarat, new home build 15Sep 25, 2019 12:33 pm Looking good. How are you finding JG King in Ballarat. We are also building in Ballarat, near the new DTC. Hey with that gap beside your garage to boundary? What size is it and what are you planning on doing there? Reason I ask is we also a small gap beside our garage wall (200mm). Good luck with the rest of your build, and what is your expected handover date? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Re: JG King- Ballarat, new home build 16Sep 25, 2019 1:28 pm Hi Darb, JG King has been fantastic actually from the very beginning. Every person I've been passed over to (sales consultant initially, contract staff, 2 build supervisors) has been accessible and friendly and the quality of the build itself I've been impressed with so far. I read a lot of bad reviews about the company but I've got nothing but good things to say. As for the gap next to the garage, that is just the space between our side and the neighbours fence and not big enough to do anything with so will have to put a small portion of fencing up to close the gap.

We have pretty much the same setup on our block beside our neighbouring boundary. We will also just put a small section of fence to block it off I think. I actually asked our brickies when they were working on that wall to 'accidentally' drop more mortar on the ground to hopefully reduce weeds growing etc. Funny that I had to ask as they seemed to accidentally drop mortar in most places around the house anyhow! When are you expecting handover, and how long do you think your whole construction period will end up being? We had a slab down in late January, and we are hoping to get to handover next week or so. So a looong process for us! We're building with Bryan & Petersen. They've been fairly good but definitely need to allow time to get it completed with them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Check our Homeone build blog here Re: JG King- Ballarat, new home build 18Oct 04, 2019 3:52 pm darb74 Yeah now that I see your site plan that side area makes sense.

We are expecting hand over (we were told mid November) early December. The house is in the final stage and painting, inside and outside, has been completed. Tiling will begin this Monday. I was at at the house recently had a look through the inside on a party cloudy day and got a much better idea of how lighting (through the windows) enters the house through different areas. Every time I take a walk through I appreciate different things and am happy about the choices that were made, such as, power point placements. This time when I walked through, I felt that the living areas are very generous in their size and the white walls seems to make the rooms feel bigger (?). Have you had hand over yet? I don't think I've seen your house- would love to see the finished product! 1 8419 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
