Which builders in WA?
Hi all.
Just wondering if those that have experience with building have any advice about which builders to use both good and bad experiences etc.
We are thinking of building in Singleton, WA but not sure about it all. Are the margins she worth buying new. We've got 2 young children so not sure about it at the moment.
Thanks J

Personally if we did it again we'd pick a "proper" builder to do it all for us rather than the builders with the show homes.
Builders like Dale Alcock, Content etc. may appear good value, and ours wasnt too bad an experience other than some plumbing issues which have finally been sorted, but it's the maintenance and getting hold of someone to sort out minor issues that turns into a headache.

Everyone I've spoken to who's built has had their fair share of problems; I think it's irrelevant who your builder is!
They lie, they manipulate, theire client liaison are just buffers between you and the people who do the work - you're not allowed to talk to anyone who can make a difference......
Rant over. If you do decide to build, just be prepared for stress squared, that's all.
Good luck anyhow!

We're on the pan now (so to speak), so we just have to wait. At least we are now in our own home while waiting, so some of the pressure's off.
We're having a battle with them at the moment where they are saying we don't get a bilkhead in the kitchen when there is coding for one on the electrical plans. We are NOT backing down on this one and will seek legal advise if we have to.
These things are sent to try us, eh?
