Hey Simeon
Based on those prices, is building double brick now cheaper than using frames or at least close to the same price?

If they can't provide an insurance certifvate for the work, find another builder.
Could be many reasons for having multiple registered entities, worst case their phoenix construction companies that'll…

Good luck with the build, hopefully the weather improves.
I'm not far away, drove past today and saw the demo guys in full swing. Look forward to seeing it…

That's great mate. Hope things still going well with your build.

Yes agree, 52sq at $615k with upgrades. Who are you building with ?

Hi Hondo
It was actually for sale so we went through the open house. It was larger than what we want but similar french provincial style.

Hi Hondo
We haven't started our build yet, been away for work. We have given out tenants notice though (end of year) so hoping for a build start sometime in the…

My niece just built with Masterton in western Sydney. Quality was ok for the price. A few issues along the way but nothing major.
They built a single storey,…

very wide block. Our block is 20m so we want to stretch a design fairly wide too. Fingers crossed you have a good run with weather through winter.

Good to hear your coming along well, looks good! How wide is the design? 15/16m?

Hi SejaeD, how's the build coming along with your new builder? Cheers

Good advice! Having said that, being the owner of investment apartments that haven't had these type of issues there are some good builders out there. I personally wouldn't…

My brother in Newcastle got away with $1250 sqm for a single storey volume builder home. Probably say it's a low-med level of finishes.
Sydney build coming up for myself…

If you already have a lawyer ask them to draft it. They'll charge you to proof read so might as well get it done right the first time

Are you in Ku Ring Gai? They are crazy for trees.
$1.4m is ridiculous and how could they possibly enforce a fine like that.

No arguments from me. Negative feedback where factual is 100% fine and should be encouraged.

I think he meant the builders lawyers used that reference of the T&C's to get the specific posts taken down by the forum moderators

5.3.4 is written poorly. Should be extended to note in relation to false or misleading claims.
Absolutely nothing wrong with disseminating negative feedback if the statements are factual. …

Check out Charleston Homes. We are very close to choosing them for our build.
We've been through two of their completed projects, beautiful homes.

Yes agree, 2k won't get you absolute luxury, but a decent level of finish. Getting a builder who'll also work with outside products is a good way of upping…

450sqm for $720k, if you can find a good custom builder for that pricing point your doing well.
I'm on the upper north shore too and looking to build. …

That all sounds good Manishg, hope your build runs smoothly!
Did you need a DA due to the house size? I think by memory on my block we…

I think it's just the way the solicitor wrote the letter. In the other thread the front page is posted and it says we represent Mr XXXX the owner of…

Geez mate looks like your going through a nightmare. As someone whose shopping around right now to build I'm glad my shortlisted builders have nothing like this going on anywhere…

Hi Manishg
That sounds good, did you have any luck with the price negotiation or just went with it?
We are down to two builders. Charleston and Homestead homes. …
