I am so sorry you've had to go through all this. Our first build was with Avonwood right when they went broke and it was an absolute nightmare for us.…

So glad to hear your fiance is doing better! I'd love to hear more about your build. We decided not to build this year as well. It was all becoming…

We went up to Bacchus Marsh yesterday to look at Essence. It's a lovely part of the world, but just not right for us, we just didn't get that WOW…

This is where our problem ******. The size of the land available and the price of it. We would have been very happy to build a large single storey house…

We really do love Grand Lakes, I love the street lights, the lakes that are within walking distance. All the walking paths are wonderful and great for a life with…

Yes, we have a big family - already have three kids and a new baby due in August. That's the whole reason we're looking at building again. We don't like…

We're considering building again at the moment. We started out looking at large land and single storey houses. We need five bedrooms and at least one study - we have…

Thanks for all that. I have a feeling he might have been confused. Either that or maybe he gets kickbacks from Stonehill We'll pop out…

We're considering Bacchus Marsh at the moment and one builder's rep today suggested not building in Essence because it's not flat. He suggested Stonehill instead. I liked Essence because of…

We had pipes in the wrong positions, too. Their *fix* was shocking and it still bothers me to this day (10 years later). They put a pipe in the doorway…

Emeri, that's a stunning colour!

ETA: I'm watching this thread too, we're thinking of building with Henley in the not too distant future. Good luck, I hope your build goes…

I've been watching this thread for the last couple of weeks and I am so impressed with your build. Most of all I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your view. It's just…

We built over 10 years ago and while on the Gold Coast for a holiday we got an invoice (and a phone call) telling us we needed to pay for…

I've just read through your thread and your progress is amazing!
We built our current house 10 years ago and the builders put two pipes/holes where they weren't supposed to…

We're considering building our second home in the next little while (could be a year or two) and we're currently looking at display homes.
Even before we set foot in one,…

I find it laughable that the PD rep here is addressing minor comments and not commenting AT ALL on the more serious issues. I think that's all you really need…

I like the pendants and am considering something similar in my kitchen. I'll probably get something colourful because my kitchen is black and white.

Pretty sure, although with jokes like that, I could change my mind

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking since about January and finally decided to join up last week. We're getting ready to build our second home and this place seems like a…

That it does!
As of today, after interesting discussions, I think we're one step closer to a real decision!

Thanks Penjay!
It's funny, because he talked me out of the black granite, said it was too porous and suggested I go with Quantum Quartz in a black instead.…

Thanks Paula, that's a lovely kitchen. I agree totally that vinyl wrap should be cheaper, but when I'm told two different things from two different people in the same…

Thanks, Paula. I understand that, I guess in my rant, my main question was..
Should vinyl wrap kitchens cost more than timber kitchens. I've never had a vinyl wrap…

After lurking here for a while and reading some blogs, I looked at the Carlisle Homes website and really liked their houses. Sadly, they don't build out where our…

I am new to the forum and hope you don't mind me re-opening an old thread. Not sure what the protocol is here.
We're hoping to build with PD and…
