Understand completely about discrepancies In regard to our build, well nothing is happening STILL having issues with the floor plan and now the issue of trying to communicate e.g. not in, on phone, phone goes to voice mail, try main number, in a meeting, not available ..... you get the picture. We finally received an email Monday (4 weeks after the last contact) asking about our response to the plans they had amended and we replied immediately .... we are still waiting on a response Re: Building with Kurmond Homes 380Nov 04, 2013 2:26 pm Howdy all Just an update on our Allure 37 build. It was a bit slow but we recently got the plans that were are being submitted to council after having signed contracts a bit over a month ago. Our broker has asked us to get a quote for landscaping + window furnishings to go to the bank for the full valuation of the house so just waiting on that to come through. We have our internal colours appointment next week and have done the alarms & tiles already. During our tile appointment we chose the same tiles that are in the single storey display home at Kellyville! The process so far has been fairly positive. We've had to chase things up a bit and they're a bit slow but I'm not losing any sleep over it yet One screw up we made though which we may regret is the kitchen island bench. The plans in the brochure show an island bench width of 1.2m but the plans we signed off on have it much narrower (80cm). It ended up being this way because the version of the house that was used for our plans were the newer design (Allure 35) and then changed to include all the stuff from the older design (which we preferred). We just overlooked that they hadn't used the wider kitchen bench and signed off on it unfortunately. It's ~1-2k to get it increased but we've been told that we can go over it during our colours appointment so we'll see if Kurmond are happy to correct it without charge or say caveat emptor. Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74700 I would never build with Fowler homes.
