Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Premier Builders Group 62May 14, 2011 5:20 pm Have found out this week that due to the illness of one of the Romeo directors our home will no longer be built by them. They are apparently still building homes but not the ones on our side of town. We are going to be going with Onley Construction instead. Am assured by our building consultant that they do a great job. Little bit nervous as I have heard a bad review of them from someone else. Also their website shows only more modern homes not the period style we are doing. Any one have any info on Onley? cheers Linni Re: Premier Builders Group 63May 23, 2011 9:53 pm Hello Linni, we are in the same boat as you. Our building consultant has assured us Onley will do a really good job. At this point in time we now need to have new contracts issued and resign them and then they will apply for the building permit. Originally we signed our contracts in April 2011. We just want things to get a move on as we feel like the whole process has taken awhile. Will keep updating on here as the process moves along. Would appreciate updates from you also Re: Premier Builders Group 64May 26, 2011 9:39 pm we are now going with Prime Projects Construction rather than Onley. Just weren't comfortable with all the reviews we were hearing. Much happier now. Re: Premier Builders Group 65Jul 04, 2011 9:36 am Hi All With respect to Onley Constructions, I built with them back in 99 (my first house) they were terrific! Not as fast as Carlisle were (my second house), but the quality was good and I wasn't stuffed around by them at all. I am about to sign up with Premier Builder's Group - we are looking at the budget friendly Barclay, putting it on a lovely block out in Drouin, great views but a little slope to deal with (2.5 over the house). We have decided to do the site prep privately before bringing in the builders (family members who run their own earth moving businesses are a blessing) which will give us a definite on the slab costs up front and hopefully save us a little. I have appreciated the comments on this forum, they have been great. Sel. Re: Premier Builders Group 66Jul 10, 2011 8:32 pm Hey Selenys were also building in Drouin, What estate are you in? Shell_Shell Re: Premier Builders Group 67Jul 23, 2011 7:28 pm HI Everyone, We are new to this forum, and only jumped on as we are looking at Premier Builders for the Delatite Cottage with modifications. Looked at the display home in Doreen and was impressed with the quality of build and finish. We are very new at this and are grateful to all the responces on this forum. We are building in South Morang can anyone who has used this in this area or for this style of home please respond and give us some feedback. Is the quality of build good or is that all for show in there displays? Re: Premier Builders Group 68Jul 24, 2011 12:12 am Hi we are building with Premier in Greensborough. Our builder is Prime and we are building a modified Delatite/Jameison Attic. See our blog if you like for more info. www.thehalls.com.au cheers Linnibea Re: Premier Builders Group 69Sep 15, 2011 7:13 pm bean Hello Linni, we are in the same boat as you.

Would appreciate updates from you also Onley Construction is NOT reliable company at all. They built a property for us. We ended up with almost one year delay in completion of the construction and massive amount of major problems in quality. All other neighbours were utterly frustrated. Take our advice - DO NOT DEAL WITH onley construction for YOUR OWN BENEFITS. Re: Premier Builders Group 70Sep 15, 2011 7:26 pm Prime Builders use builder which is called Onley Construction.

Take our advice - DO NOT DEAL WITH onley construction for YOUR OWN BENEFITS. And stay away from Premier Builders - they have good web sites only........

We had plenty moulds and rotten separation walls. Re: Premier Builders Group 72Sep 16, 2011 4:09 pm Premier Builders display is good but it is a farce. Finish might look ok.

Premier Builders Group should be banned from construction. The way they do their job is unbelievable and disgusting. I certainly WILL STAY AWAY from these people. Re: Premier Builders Group 74Sep 16, 2011 6:27 pm Maybe the building industry watchdog should be informed,if not already. Have a look at room4acubby thread very interesting Re: Premier Builders Group 75Sep 17, 2011 10:10 am The complaint was sent to building industry watchdog. Seems I am not the first who was not happy with Premier Builders. See how we go. Re: Premier Builders Group 76Sep 17, 2011 8:32 pm Was the problem with Premier or Onley? Onley have only been building for Premier for less than a year I thought. And room4acubby had Romeo as a builder and the "problem" at Romeo has been dealt with. We are building with Premier, Prime are our doing the build. We are really happy with their work so far. Just my experience of course. Re: Premier Builders Group 77Sep 28, 2011 9:50 pm We signed our contracts with premier builders through the Dooren Premier Builders sales consultant with out an issue and we're building the canterbury by Onley Constructions in the outer northern suburbs of Melbourne our build is progressing nicely! Im a happy customer..... fingers crossed this continues because its not long now until completion. I have sat back been patient and enjoyed the construction phase it hasn't been the quickest build in the estate but attention to detail has been of a high standard. If you want to build with a smaller builder I think you have to be open minded to fact that they may take longer than the builders who push hundreds of houses out in my opinion. Re: Premier Builders Group 78Sep 28, 2011 10:22 pm I agree BurleighJ, glad your build is going well. Actually the others I have heard of who are building with Onley are happy too so they must be doing all right. I think if you started a thread trashing some of the big builders (Met$%con, Hen^&y, etc) you would get heaps of complaints as well as heaps of praise. If you want a something built fast go with them, if you want something built like a craftsman would then stay away from the big guys. Just my humble opinon of course.

And who is this who is so happy with these cheeky boys???!!! I haven’t heard anything good about Onley and Premier Builders except ****** on their websites. And of course!!! flashy home displays – these homes cost them double of the price they sell to us. Why? They use expensive professionals just to attract our attention. When they build for you they use cheap unexperienced trades.

Hope your construction is going well! Your last quote was made before Christmas. But what would you tell us today about the progress? Let me explain why I am asking about this particular time of the year. When Onley Construction was building for us (2010-2011) they stopped doing all activities in the mid of December and resumed in the mid of March next year. On my question what‘s going on Onley Construction and Premier Builders answered that it was Christmas……. THE Christmas that last for almost three (!) months. Such event should be in a Guinness Book!!! Ohnestly. So my friend please share your thoughts about these fellas now. Any issues? They could improve – you never know! Thank you. 4 15887 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending. All their existing trades and businesses don't work with… 14 110963 Thank you so much. This has been very helpful. We definitely wish to settle and get these people out of our life. They are trying to charge us interest on late… 7 15302 |
