Re: Think twice before using Wisdom Homes 17Nov 29, 2022 9:35 am I know right (thank you) we are just fortunate i guess that our site is progressing well.....what am referring to "Experts in building" compared to us an accountant would not know how building construction works so i leave it to them that is why we paid them to do the job. We did a lot of research before putting our trust to Wisdom to build our dream home....now that we trusted them we are collaborating with them as our choosen builder either good or bad we have made our decision and no regrets it was our decision to go with them in the first place anyway...that is our mindset can't waste my energy to something i do not have control over....i really hope your site will be finito soon! Re: Think twice before using Wisdom Homes 18Nov 29, 2022 9:44 am wisdomhomes what are the specific reasons for the slow construction progess? Have you communicated these to mark_ashcroft in writing for each delay so far, as per the requirements of your HIA contract.

You should use the opportunity to learn as much as possible about the process rather than putting your trust in them. After all there are plenty of experts that are untrustworthy. Just take a look at the recent number of collapsed and bankrupt multi billion dollar crypto exchanges and businesses. They were all experts too. Not to mention the multitude of "experts in building that have collapse din the last couple of years also. As an accountant you should be familiar with the term "trust, but verify". Builders are notorious for over promising, underdelivering, misleading, cutting corners etc. My observations are that all the people who have overly positive experiences are those that know zero about what is going on. Its a matter of ignorance is bliss. But when were talking about such a large investment, its not something that should be blindly trusted. In staying so, its not about being distrustful, angry and demanding, but you need to have some level of understanding and assertiveness to make sure that youre getting what you paid for, which in many cases if you just "leave it to the experts" will be less than what you are obliged to receive. Be carefull. Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it. Trust me, its in my sig. Re: Think twice before using Wisdom Homes 20Nov 29, 2022 9:50 am We did our research too. They seemed to be way ahead of anyone else with the right size house for us. I know builds don't go like clockwork & we've spoken to a Charlie at head office when CQ was taking too long. He did push it through quicker. I don't know how to collaborate with them now as they don't respond to to phone calls or messages so this is where I'm at. I just need this house completed with no more delays so my family can be more comfortable with their medical conditions. It's the reason I'm building. Can someone please offer some advice? Im DESPERATE. Because I'm completely and utterly exhausted. How long are variations taking with other companies at the moment?
