We signed with RH in February 2009 and have only just had our builders interview. Due to their heavy workload we have been told most likely early April 2010 as a date for the slab. That makes 14 months just for the paperwork!!!!
We were initially advised to expect about a 12 - 14 month timeframe from contract signing to handover depending on council approval. Well council only took 3 months, so that leaves 11 months in RH hands for other paperwork. This is unbelievable.
Realistically it is more like a 20 month process with RH from contract signing to handover. If we had known this at the beginning we would have run screaming in the other direction!
I agree with what one other author mentioned 'if RH homes say 1 - 2 weeks, convert that timeframe to months'.
