Well sorry Flash but unlike you some of us do have a clue about what is going on. Oh yes and by the way we are 14 months building with them and my husband is a project manager who builds multi million dollar builds!!!! Something strikes me as odd about your post, If your husband is a project manager who builds multi-million dollar homes, why did you choose this builder?

My husband doesn't build homes check your facts and we chose Formula Homes from England before we even arrived in Australia so there is nothing odd about my post in fact i have met lots of others building with them who too are not happy and have had to wait an excessive amount of time to have their home built let alone to regulations!!!!!!!!!!! Check my facts? i apologise for not being able to read your mind!

Just got phone call Formula Homes has gone bust!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Re: Formula Homes anyone?? 65Jul 15, 2011 3:56 pm This is true. Formula Homes is under administrator control so it would seem. I can breath easy knowing we have our house. We can easy deal with the squeaky stairs ourselves. I'm just so sorry for anyone who is half way through a build. NO EXPECTATIONS, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!

Someone told me about the current situation. My supervisor keeps in touch so I called him on his private number. ALL is WELL. It seems that trouble has been brewing for a while in the Formula and Simionds camp. An ASIC search will show Mr Gary Simonds of Simonds Homes as Director and Secretary until quite recently. He also owns 50% of the shares of Formula. Formula and Simonds have a common ( Group policy) Home Owners Warranty Insurancer ( HOW) which is QBE. So all, relax, you are covered by Gary Simonds !! Yea !! Check with your insurer who the guarantors to the HOW are .... Pass this on guys. All homes are apparently to be completed in full as Gary Simonds has one of his General Managers on the road finishing a report for Simonds. Once done, Gary Simonds will complete the homes and pay the creditors.....So I hear on the grapewine..Trades drums are talking... Cowabunga dudes and good luck... Re: Formula Homes anyone?? 68Jul 18, 2011 10:25 am I am bhuilding with Formula Homes also. Was contacted by my CSO and told that a " reputable" builder is going to complete the homes. I think this is Simonds Homes. I was told Simonds ownd 50% of Formula. Gary Simonds was director as well. Hoping to hold tight until further info. Met a trade who also said he knows that Gary Simonds is going to finish the homes and pay trades... See http://www.ozripoff.com/report-view/207 ... mula-homes Re: Formula Homes anyone?? 69Jul 25, 2011 2:35 pm Creditors meeting is today. Supposedly only 44 builds impacted. Wonder it that includes the likes of us with our 90 maintenance period or only houses under construction. NO EXPECTATIONS, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS!

PM me if your been effected.[/quote] Re: Formula Homes anyone?? 74Aug 26, 2011 9:19 am We have finally moved in, June 16 we settled. Still 18 items outstanding which FH promised to come back and fix (including installation of our range hood, which never happened). Now that they've gone bust, Simonds has promised to get back to us in the next 14 days to advise what the next step is. Our maintenance period ends soon, need to submit a claim asap. Very interested in a group claim, still thousands of dollars worth of work to be done to our place which we simply cannot afford.
