I must admit the beginning of it was a bit slow, part of it is due to the delay in demolishing the existing house on the block which we had to arrange. But we are surprised after the buidling process commences, everything has been going super fast, we had lock up in just 2.5 months, and there were only minor issues witht the pre-plaster inspection (brickwork is yet to be inspected).
Our CSR is replying to very single email we sent promptly and our SS is also seem to be on top of things. I guess it all really depends on the person that execute the work more than the reputation of the company. So far so good for us.....knock wood.... everything will be Ok all the way Our payment break-down is slightly different, we pay 35% on lock up and 25% on fixing stage Start: 15 May 08, Current: Handover inspection 19/09 after that, the house is ours!!

We were given that breakup by the salesperson last year - it wouldn't be the first thing we were told incorrect. What house are you building? We're building a Stoneleigh.

Yep we also had a few minor amendments along the way, mostly drafting error on the drawing on measurement, nothing major... My suggestion, forget what the sales person have told you, they need to be more resourceful We're building the Gerbera 28. Have you guys started building?

We're due to start in September, we're just ironing out the details at the moment. I know what you mean about the salespeople. A good tip for anyone starting out is to do what we did, we pretty much made all our specs choices and changes well before we put the official file in. Each time we wanted to change something we e-mailed the salesperson to get a quote. That way, when we put the file in we were confident that we wouldn't have any nasty surprises. Suffice it to say that when the first tender came back it was $10k more than we expected. Anyway, long story short - we had kept all the e-mails back and forth requesting prices, so when the tender prices came back much higher, we wrote a huge e-mail addressing every discrepancy and referenced back to the e-mails with estimates on. I have to say this for Burbank, fair play to them as they honoured every price except two - and those two had been given to us as allowances anyway, so we couldn't argue there. We are pleased with what we are getting from Burbank, and the level of service, and we have enjoyed the process so far - but I have hounded them all the way to make sure our things get looked at etc. They must think I am a right pest.
