We chose the Emporio 430 and are waiting on them to start building. Im hoping it will be really soon. So far the people we have dealt with have been good. We did have quite a few errors in the contract though so would advise you to read through it over and over. I would also recommend a private building inspector regardless of who the builder is, especially if this is the first time you are building, like we are. Where is everyone building? Re: Anyone building with MainVue Homes 13Nov 14, 2011 8:15 am Hi MD@KEYS. I'm building at Greenvale Gardens, land wont be ready till end of Jan. 2012, so I'm hoping for a May build time frame. Hope everything goes well with your Emporio build. It's a very nice design, was one of the houses we had in mind initially. Keep us posted if you will on your Mainvue experience. Re: Anyone building with MainVue Homes 14Nov 21, 2011 12:12 pm Hello fellow MainVue-rs! I've been searching for a topic on building with MainVue, when i stumbled upon this thread...we are looking to build with MainVuew homes too...the Amlfi 532 with a double+ garrage. Our land in Truganina doesn't title until mid next year, so we've only just completed our colour appointment, as of now, our experience has been very satisfactory, right from the sales consultant XP to colour/interior designer DZ. We did look at all possible builders under the sun, even some boutique builders, but keeping our budget in mind, finding a floorplan with minimum alterations to suit our needs and quality of their houses, MainVue came out on top. Looking at our quote after the colour appointment, the price has shot up(almost 40%) from their listed price which is a substantial increase, but that's partly because we have opted for a fair bit of upgrades, but then again there are may things which are very heavily overpriced too. Anyway, i reckon our experience has been 'so far so good'. Re: Anyone building with MainVue Homes 15Nov 24, 2011 6:20 pm Was wondering if anyone out there has already started construction with MainVue. Would love to hear your experiences. Likewise has anyone used the financial services of Henley, i.e Waterstone Financial Services to secure a bank loan ? I was told that by going through them you get a $1000 rebate on your final contract price plus you can defer the initial payment during contract signing and move it to start of construction instead. Re: Anyone building with MainVue Homes 16Nov 25, 2011 7:16 pm hi edb, We went through Westpac, i know they dont have the cheapest home loan on the market, but one thing worth considering is the relationship of the broker and with the bank u take a loan with, especially during construction. My wife worked in the loan construction area of a big 4 bank, and we know 1st hand what happens when payments and work completed don't agree and the bank refuses to release payments and what not. Especially during construction your broker/loan manager should able to pull strings to resolve issues quickly when things get stuck. Our Loan Manager was a Ex-Westpac Bank Manger, so he knows the team who handles the construction loan. Hope this helps. Re: Anyone building with MainVue Homes 17Dec 12, 2011 7:18 am Hi All, We are building with Mainvue also, we haven't quite started but we do have the temp fencing around our block and we are told we should have a slab by Christmas. So we are expecting them to start this week So far we have been happy with them there have been a few minor issues along the way but each time something has come up they have been great at fixing it quickly! So far so good, I'll keep everyone posted on how we are going.
