Great floor plan, love homes where the kids area is completely seperate! Sorry to hear about the problems your having getting a 6 star energy rating, hope you get it sorted, so you can proceed with your build. Cheers Barbs Re: Custom Build with Rendition SA 37Oct 25, 2010 12:25 pm Oh Rebecca, I just had to comment because we have been very unhappy every step of the way with Rendition Homes and this is solely due to the lack of communication and the time they have taken to do everything!!! We signed the contract with them in February 2009, plans lodged to council in June 2009, pre-selection interview in July 2009. Our footings were not poured until mid June 2010!!! 16 months after contract signing! Even now, we are not even at lock-up and it is most likely we won't be in until March 2011 - more than 2 years from contract signing!!! I say March because according to the contract they give themselves 190 working days to complete the house from pouring of the footing, which works out to March. Our house is not difficult, nor large, nor did we have any issues with council. The past almost 2 years has been the worst experience. I hope things get moving for you soon. Re: Custom Build with Rendition SA 38Oct 25, 2010 9:11 pm Far out smbader......I cant believe it, yet hearing your story has made me even more comfortable with our decision. I just sent you a PM. For those that are interested, we sent a letter to the owner today advising him of our decision and the unprofessional way in which his staff has treated us. We also contacted Consumer Affairs who have given us some guidance on what our options could be. It seems that they have acted unfairly. I am looking forward to our meeting with our new builder on Friday, he's meeting us at our block and cant wait to hear what he has so say. Thanks for the positive comments all and I look forward to sharing the rest of our story. Will get some completed excavation pics on here soon.....that side of it is looking great!!!

Re: Custom Build with Rendition SA 39Oct 26, 2010 10:11 am Hey Bec, looks like you have decided to go with a new builder? I think that is a wise decision given the fact that they have treated you terribly BEFORE signing the contract (i.e trying to get your businsess still!). Imagine what it would be like once you signed the contract and they had all the power! I look forward to the next update after meeting with your new builder. I know that this feels like a set-back for you but chin up - its important to get the best experience possible when building and if that means delaying things slightly then it will be worth it in the end. Am interested to see what your new builder says about the 6* stuff. ------------------------------------------------------ Handover: 14 December 2010 Current: Putting in plants!
