From my research on various forums Harkaway seem to have an excellent reputation for both quality & service, I have asked a number of questions which so far has gone unanswered. I will ring them tomorrow and see how we go. I have received an information pack from Kitome, we like the Glenbrook 24, without rumpus room which we would have as a veranda and delete the side veranda & dinning room as it is a little too wide for our block. Cant wait for the house to sell so we can move forward.

I was very disappointed with that and the instructions that weren't very prescriptive. I will point out though that we didn't get a full kit and we erected the kit almost 2 years after purchase due to issues with owner building loans ie difficult to get. I wouldn't say DON'T buy from them but there are some specific questions you will need to ask to ensure that it won't be as difficult for your builder as it was for ours. I can help with that if the time comes.

Remember, its more difficult dealing with someone interstate I would agree there although for me Kitome was in the same state but any significant distance could prove an issue. However doesn't have to be the case. I think barkersontheblock are building a kit from PAAL and so far the support he has had has been good.
