Whoever you build with, make sure you get independent inspection done at each level for your peace of mind. Some builders will only allowed inspection at handover and it's too late to report some issues, like framing, roofing etc. Inspection might cost around 1500 to 2k but worth it just for peace of mind.

Hi Val, I think every home builder will have their own hiccups. Like we mentioned before best to get an inspector to assess the house when it is built before you release your funds to the builder. It was my first time building with Fairmont NSW as my first builder. I have lack to experience so now i know what is involved now prior to building a new home. They come across very unprofessional and they were trying to offer $700 to me to take my review down on product review site. It is not worth paying me that much as it cost more than double of that offered amount to fixed that ceiling. That's is how they get top reviews on the site. I had over 800 views on my review from product review site and now it is less than 5 views. They will bribe their way through to keep their reputation up for very little money that they offer and avoid helping you when you do find faults on your built home when you report to them. Good luck! Re: Fairmont homes NSW built 2015 very poorly 11Nov 08, 2020 12:50 pm Val G Hi, I'm in process of choose the building company and Fairmont was on my list under N1. After reading reviews about building not sure which company to choose, most of them have a horrible review. Just start panic - who can build my house without headache. Any suggestions? Hi Val G Good luck with your build. Can I make a suggestion about picking the right builder. Make sure you get to actually speak to some of their past clients. Most builders who have happy clients should have no problem arranging for your to speak to 2 or 3 other clients. Every build has some issues, so what you really want to know is how well did that company resolve the issues and how easy were they to deal with. Also, my 2nd tip is to make sure you visit 1 or 2 of their homes under construction. If they are clean and tidy you know the company is organised, if they are dirty and messy, then you know that is how the company operates.
