We now know that a different style house with a design to suit type builder would be better. We have a couple of options and this is one of them. Would love to know everyones feedback on how they went with Rendition and any tips. I will also read thru this thread. Thanks in advance and hope everyones builds are going well.

So far we have a frame, windows, plumbing and gutters. The roof and bricks should be underway in the next week. The attention to detail has been fantastic. All tradies we have had dealings with so far have been fantastic. The carpenter even moved some windows for us after they had already built them in - he didn't have to as he had built them exactly to contract specs but I guess it is the pride he took in his work as well as keeping the customer happy. If you are happy to wait I would highly recommend them, I guess quality doesn't come quickly but we are hoping it will be worth it in the end. A lot of other builders seem to take a while to get started also. Goodluck with your decision. 2011 Home Sweet Home Handover 03 September 2010 PCI 27August 2010 Plumber 20August 2010 Electrician 19August 2010 Painting 04 August 2010 Cabinets 13Jul2010 Lockup 23June Frame 20April slab 1Mar10 Re: Building with Rendition Homes 159May 14, 2010 2:20 pm Thanks very much for your feedback guys!

VERY FRUSTRATING! Hey smbader You signed 3 months after us, you must be really close. Any idea of when the slab will go down? 2011 Home Sweet Home Handover 03 September 2010 PCI 27August 2010 Plumber 20August 2010 Electrician 19August 2010 Painting 04 August 2010 Cabinets 13Jul2010 Lockup 23June Frame 20April slab 1Mar10 Ask for references and speak to them.
