Re: Building with Rendition Homes 204Dec 13, 2010 4:56 pm Spud McDoug A bit quiet around here recently, where is everyone up to with their builds? We just had our builders interview, at long last - contract was signed in August 2009. Finalising a few last details now, should be getting to site early-ish in the new year. Hey Spud, Did you have any particular problems that held things up so long. ? We signed in April 09 ( not Ren )and moved in July this year. I remember at the time comparing notes on different things and from memory you were building in TP. Mr. X Re: Building with Rendition Homes 205Dec 13, 2010 8:11 pm We had PCI today. All went smoothly, no major issues. Despite the wet weather over winter Rendition still managed to finish within 2 days of the scheduled PCI date (170 working days since slab pour). Thank heavens the whole process is almost over. Ask me in a couple of months if it was worth it.

I remember at the time comparing notes on different things and from memory you were building in TP. Mr. X There were a few specific delays - it wasn't the easiest house to design (three levels, narrow sloping block) and there was several delays getting it through the ever-delightful Mitcham Council. Also another delay when the soil report came back as "one of the worst they had seen"... great, we didn't really need those $30k anyway. So I'm not saying that any other company wouldn't have also had rather significant delays, with a gap of at least 18months between contract signing and getting to site, it hasn't felt like the most stream-lined process, to say the least.

Fair enough, not your everyday spec home. If it's where I think it is I look forward to watching it's process. It does get quite exciting once they get to site. Good luck from here on in. Re: Building with Rendition Homes 208Jul 28, 2011 10:22 pm Hi Everyone, I'm very new to the whole forum thing, but have been reading all of your posts and have found them very helpful. After much pondering my husband and I decided to go with Rendition to build our new home. We've signed the first lot of papers tonight and handed over the first lot of money so all very exciting but at the same time a little daunting having never built before. We've found the sales guy to be very helpful and about one of the only ones who has actually listened to what we want, so the design is nearly complete and I suppose we're on the waiting line like many others now! We have land at Nottage Rise so would love to chat with prospective 'neighbours' and everyone else going through this journey! Re: Building with Rendition Homes 209Aug 20, 2012 9:14 pm Just subscribed to this thread......... We've given Rendition a copy of our (own design) plan and we'll see what they can do with it and what their costings are. Are we REALLY still talking (at least) 18 months from contract signing as people seem to be saying ? Cheers, P_D .

Are we REALLY still talking (at least) 18 months from contract signing as people seem to be saying ? Cheers, P_D Fingers crossed they develop your plans nice and quickly. I wanted to build a two storey house. I had drawings of our my for downstairs and gave them free licence for upstairs (just give me 4 bedrooms and a rumpus). I had a detailed brief about our vision for the home. Four weeks later I came back to have a look at what they had drawn up and was presented with a freehand drawing of my downstairs plan and an upstairs with 3 bedrooms and no rumpus?? No development or detail at all?? In the same period of time two other builders (who do not claim to be custom builders) took the same plans and brief and developed it significantly. One of them even managed to make 4-5 sets of changes and included a detailed price estimate with each version of the plan. We are also being given about a 12 month timeline. We are moving ahead with that builder........

Our brickwork was just completed so I am wondering how much longer it will be before we can move in. Guessing middle of May but who knows? How many weeks did Rendition take with everyone else???
