Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Custom builder in Canberra 13Nov 18, 2022 10:39 am I agree with Kippers01 regarding ratings. Furthermore, it is obvious that some builders pretend to be customers on these forums and make their posts. I am glad that you had a good experience with ABM MrSober. However, McDJ, Rowson, ABM, Achieve / Sunny homes are out of my list. One more thing I noticed, when you check awards magazines and let us say someone won in the category of up to 400K, and you go to the same display and ask for how much they built that house, they will tell you double the mentioned amount or even more (I have done that with a well known builder). In other words, tons of speculation and not demanding customers and as a result we have this crazy market. Re: Custom builder in Canberra 14Nov 18, 2022 2:18 pm Good Luck with your search for a good builder in Canberra. I have yet to hear something good about any builder in Canberra. Every builder will have two sets of feedback, for some the result has been great but for some the experience been a nightmare. I would suggest going with someone who has a reputation at stake as they would not want a negative publicity. For very small builders who just one or two houses a year, there is nothing to lose and you may end up with someone who doesnt really cares about you.
