Re: Anyone Built with Langford Jones (Melbourne)? 89Jul 07, 2022 10:23 am Japevias67 toocan 23 LJH took our money for preliminaries, BP, and variations back in mid 2021, then started to mess us around with no communication, no responses, then when you did hear from them, they just give COVID excuses, its all crap and they are dishonest. Keep away from them is an understatement. Kiss my deposit and variations payment goodbye most likely. Don't know how to get any money back from the crooks? Hi Toocan I’m in the same boat. Contract signed Aug21 after delays. Paid deposit then For variations then the silent treatment since December. No construction has started. Was building insurance organised? I got the insurance in May 2022, after 10 months from signing!! They obviously had no money for the important things.

They obviously had no money for the important things. The builder is a recognised OAM (Other Australians Monies) recipient (humour) OT, Contract is not enforceable until insurance is paid, You pay him $50K and he pays $5K insurance where's the other $45K? Correct starting your build wasn't important? (humour) Badluck... better luck next time, maybe not?

From the stories here it sounds like all the usual rubbish by a builder prior to an insolvency event.

I was told by the surveyor yesterday that we can still use the permit we are under but the new builder has to do a new contract and warranty insurance? Re: Anyone Built with Langford Jones (Melbourne)? 93Jul 07, 2022 11:46 am They probably mean none of the documentation needs amendment and so all of the drawings and reports can simply be re-used (unless you are planning to amend). The permit would need to be re-issued with the a new builder's registration.

Okay thanks Re: Anyone Built with Langford Jones (Melbourne)? 95Jul 07, 2022 12:13 pm If you have not started your build can you claim increased costs with a new builder for a new contract under VMIA? I'm guessing not as this would fall under damages. Re: Anyone Built with Langford Jones (Melbourne)? 96Jul 07, 2022 12:47 pm No Cheryl. You can only claim costs related to your current contract (including costs related to making the claim). Read the full insurance policy found here: https://www.dbi.vmia.vic.gov.au/policies Also, a neat summary of the policy here: https://www.dbi.vmia.vic.gov.au/-/media ... 1331DA851B Re: Anyone Built with Langford Jones (Melbourne)? 97Jul 14, 2022 11:12 am Hi all I just spoke to an insurance claims officer today. Technically you are not covered for variations unless the build has started. If you have any emails which state they will not issue a building permit or start the job unless variations are paid upload it to your claim. They are investigating so the more evidence we can show of misconduct the better Re: Anyone Built with Langford Jones (Melbourne)? 99Jul 27, 2022 10:54 am Hey there, Is anyone here has any feedback for Beach House Constructions? We are now very cautious about choosing our next builder. I have checked the Phillip Island community page but not much info there. What other pages in Bass Coast you guys using to get info? Re: Anyone Built with Langford Jones (Melbourne)? 100Jul 27, 2022 1:43 pm Beach House Constructions did/do higher end homes haven't seen any builds by them in a while I think they do more around Inverloch. Lamar Homes also did some builds around Smiths Beach not sure if they are still building. I have not used either and have no connection with either. Beach House Construction always great looking houses. Lots in Silverleaves. I haven’t. But have a Lowe Design home. Not only did I find Matt Lowe patronising and a bully, but the home is NOT TO CODE. I have water coming through the bricks… 1 15767 Hi AKG, We had a base tender of $592 for 31 squares from MC Donald Jones. It looks relatively cheaper than other builders. But I assume there are many hidden things that… 1 17609 Hi All, we are starting to think of building with Masterpiece Builders in Victoria, has anyone had any feedback or experience with them 0 14614 |
