Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Anyone build with icon homes 4Nov 24, 2019 9:49 am ![]() At tender/contract stage, we were presented with house plans we liked. We had assumed that they did all their due diligence when these plans were presented to us. I am sorry to hear about your experience tinay but your post does highlight why a pre contract signing consultation with a suitably qualified industry professional who also examines the plans is often highly recommended by many industry professionals and others with similar experience to yourself on this forum. A builder with a social conscience and integrity would have owned fault and refunded your money in full but this is a broken industry. When dealing with builders and big budget financial matters, one must never assume. Let's hope that others may benefit from reading your experience. 3in1 Supadiverta.

I hope that your journey forward is a lot smoother. Good luck. 3in1 Supadiverta. Best Practice Rainwater Harvesting using syphonic drainage. Cleaner Neater Smarter Cheaper Supa Gutter Pumper.

You have a good case. Think about going to your State's consumer authority (they have building dispute services). You might also consider going to your State's Tribunal for relief. Their hopeless incompetence needs to be addressed. I have signed my contract with them and so far they have been really good. This is my 2nd build overall and first with symmetric.
