It's been 8 weeks now since we reached lockup stage, and all they have done is the tiling, cabinets and sliding mirrors/glass showers. 8 weeks since lockup and they still won't even give us an estimated date for PCI. Ridiculous level of work being done on a small house that we are paying near a full mortgage on now. Re: Building with Hamlen Homes in WA 8Aug 24, 2020 12:03 pm Hope they get it sorted for you soon! In a way I guess it is fortunate you are at this stage already, as there will probably be a tsunami of trade shortages with the effect of those Building Grants hitting soon. Re: Building with Hamlen Homes in WA 9Sep 29, 2020 3:55 pm Hi Ship2shore, Thank you for your post. Our home will be built with Hamlen too, just wondering how long they would start the sitework and slab from the final construction plan. How is the progress of your home? Many thanks Re: Building with Hamlen Homes in WA 10Sep 30, 2020 7:32 pm bunle1193 Hi Ship2shore, Thank you for your post. Our home will be built with Hamlen too, just wondering how long they would start the sitework and slab from the final construction plan. How is the progress of your home? Many thanks I sent you a PM. We aren't happy with the build at all. We are now on 13 weeks since lockup, and they still have a whole list of things to do. It's just been excuse after excuse. They've made building our first home one of the most distasteful experiences of my life. Re: Building with Hamlen Homes in WA 11Oct 14, 2020 2:12 pm Hi Ship2shore, Hope you are doing well. We are going to build with Hamlen too. Our timeline is below: 02/07/2020 - Contract signed and deposit given. 31/08/2020 - Settlement on land 16/09/2020 - Pre-start meeting 21/09/2020 - Signed pre-start variations 12/10/2020 - Signed final construction plan and addenda We have been advised by their Admin team (at the beginning of Sep) that the certified building permit would have been ready by now. However, some mysterious insurance renew process are taking place and it has been 3 weeks without a clear answer from them. To be able to submit the WA Gov Grant we need the slab down before Christmas but still no building permit as of now. So ridiculous! How is your house building going along? Hope it is going ok? As you said previously, they make our first home buyer experience a nightmare, so stressful chasing after them. My best regards, Bao.

But yes overall we are mostly happy with the house, just not with how long it’s taking.
