In relation to the email that has been doing the rounds.... There were also some comments about public exposure etc. - I can totally understand the frustration and anger - but I do recommend to check your contracts – to the best of my knowledge “Westminster Homes Pty Ltd” or similar was affected by the DOCA, not “Westminster Building Co Pty Ltd”, but I am not an expert in this aspect of the process... Also, not everyone on this email list is necessarily a ‘home owner’ – so it is an ‘uncontrolled’ distribution… just in case you write something that is not, how do I say it, meant for public disclosure…. coley7: I am really sorry that you have had such a poor experience at such a young age it should be a very exciting time - and I hope that you will one day (soon) be able to look back at this period as a hick-up on a much greater journey.... PS: turn your CAPS key off Re: Westminster Homes 549Aug 12, 2011 5:01 pm pjbuilder nina marie Hi PJ - has this been organised by WH - or by a customer? Are you building with them? This has been organised by a group of Westminster Homes customers and is nothing official, just a gathering of customers who are building with Westminster Homes. Yes I am building with them and have been for nearly 2 years. Due to work commitments I am not able to check this forum on a regular basis but hope to see you all at Parramatta Leagues on the 21st. Regards, PJ. Hi PJ Have you received an email from other Westminster customers? There are now a large number of customers who are aware of this meeting, probably 30+ so maybe plenty going to be attending. Re: Westminster Homes 550Aug 15, 2011 3:44 pm This is the first time I have visited this site. I am very sorry to read this on here. This is my second Westminster Homes house I am building. We built 10 years ago in Manly and are now building in the Hills District. We are up to lock up stage and I do grant there were delays compared to when we built last time but I would have to say that the last 6 weeks I have seen a drastic improvement. I hope everyone else out there is having the same luck as us over the past 6 weeks Re: Westminster Homes 551Aug 15, 2011 6:12 pm Hi All, Due to the closure of the cafe for renovations, and a large function this Sunday at Parramatta Leagues club (causing parking to be at a premium), the location for the friendly catchup this Sunday has changed to Castle Hill RSL Club. Just to confirm: Castle Hill RSL Club Sunday 21st August 2.45pm for a 3pm start. Meet in the foyer. Regards, PJ. Re: Westminster Homes 552Aug 15, 2011 6:29 pm Hi Pj, Is there any chance this meeting can start a bit earlier than 3.00pm? can we start it at 2.00pm if possible? Re: Westminster Homes 556Aug 18, 2011 12:54 pm jande Yep I think everyone did? Hi J not sure that everyone did actually coley7 What was the letter about ?? is it about why the work isnt being done ?? I'll send you a pm Welcome to the forum - albeit in these circumstances - I'm gathering you are building with them? Still not in. Don't ask!? Re: Westminster Homes 559Aug 29, 2011 11:02 pm Hi all, just thought I'd check in and advise I too got the now infamous "letter" from Barry & Michael Thurecht and it appears it has had a range on impact on those that did receive it. It was not difficult to read between the lines and it obviously scared some and riled others. I am glad to say that I have had some tiling done in the wet areas of the house last week - I did not get a chance to go today so do not know if the tilers returned to finish the wet areas but I certainly hope so. How bad is it that productivity from this company is that rare that any work carried out is a like some kind of privilege - what a joke! Re: Westminster Homes 560Aug 30, 2011 5:25 am Excellent news Tokon, at last you're getting some work done....very happy for you. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74701 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
