Can't comment on this, but our BC has been awesome. Maybe 2 day reply tops. And the replies have been very thorough and answers everything even if I list 20 questions 😂
Has your build started yet?

Sorry we've been MIA, have had lots of things come up (like having another kid!) that has made us completely forget about this thread. A quick update, and may get into more detail if I find the time: We have finished lockup stage (although we disagree), and plaster is going in as we speak. We have had our fair share of issues and delays. One thing I'll say is, I can live with delays in the build due to trades and material. I can't live with poor workmanship, lack of quality and an illogical flow of work. We are quite disappointed with the issues we have dealt with so far, and if we didn't catch issues and constantly kick up a fuss, it would have been swept under the rug (or hidden under the plaster let's say) and we wouldn't have known the difference, except possibly later down the line after having moved in. Anyway, we are on track to have fixing stage completed before Christmas. Our contract ends around mid April, so hoping they can deliver before that, but I definitely won't hold my breath. Hi. We have just signed our HIA. It has been and frustrating road to get here. I’m sad to hear about your frustrations. Wondering if you had building inspectors throughout your journey? If so, who? How did Thomas Archer go fixing up all the issues they reported? If you have any advice for us I would be very grateful. Thank you Zoe. Hi Zoe, I think we have spoken briefly in the TA Facebook group. Same names as our username here. We are using Darbecca. Luckily, our SS has been receptive to fixing issues, although I do feel a general attitude towards 'this is unnecessary but I'll do it anyway to make you happy." Darbecca have been great with the thoroughness of their inspections, and also general help and guidance with the plethora of building issues that we have come up against. My advice moving into the build phase is, try to stay on top of what is happening, as I know if I didn't pull them up on all the things I did, they would have moved ahead and covered up the issues. Best of luck, and feel free to reach out to me on Facebook if you have any questions etc. That you don't get comfortable speaking about in public. Cheers, Jay Hi Jay, Sorry to hear about your frustrations. We are currently with TA but now seriously considering other builders due to a few factors.. What stage are you at now? Would you build with them again? Appreciate your feedback.. we’re at a cross road.. Re: Thomas Archer Nouveau 41 Glen Eira Build [2021] 93Jun 14, 2023 12:29 pm Hello - sorry to jump in .. we are with TA building atm - we would not build with them again. The headache and drama is not worth it. Go with a smaller builder where you are more important and they need your business. 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 19951 For reference, this is the Austlii reference. My take on this is, that they would be breaking the law denying access to a homeowner in Victoria, or their agent from having… 1 10252 2 6651 |
