Browse Forums Building A New House Re: New Build with Omnia Homes 39Nov 12, 2021 10:11 am I recently got handover of the house. The site supervisor and managing director of the company (Tela) did take note of items identified by me and the inspector to be fixed. A few of those items have been fixed, and a few are pending. I'm expecting those items to be fixed soon too. I've got an easement at the rear of the lot and the lot also slops upwards, so Tela himself came down to have a look and to suggest me on how should the landscaping be, to keep the landscaping costs to a minimum. I was handed over the keys of the house even before the bank released the final payment to them (got keys on Monday, and bank processed payment on Tuesday). This was, as we were nearing Diwali dates (our biggest festival) and we requested to get access to the house before the festival, so that we could celebrate it in our new house. I am happy that they took my request into consideration. At the end of the build, there were a few credits pending for PCVs and delayed completion, and this morning I received those credits too. In all, the build ran 11 weeks longer than the practical completion date. We love the house, and all efforts put into designing it seem fruitful now. Credit where due - with the dimensions and limitations of my block, a better floor-plan could not have been put together than what Omnia helped us achieve. The space is used in perfect proportions. Having said this, there are areas of improvement too, specifically related to communication. Additionally, I'm not too happy with the tiler too, now that I have moved in, I'm noticing a few alignment issues with tiles that the tiler should have taken care of. The communication with them improved drastically with the site supervisor during the last weeks of the build. The communication in the last 1 week has again suffered, with calls not being returned, maybe they're pretty busy during this time of the year. All in all, this entire build was full of ups and downs for us (emotionally), maybe because this was our first build and we were too stressed. Really happy to have reached this stage. Hi there! Putting the feelers out there for those who have (or almost) built with Arli homes! Interested in your experiences who've built from their stock home designs… 0 24549 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 18217 3 49716 |
