Can anyone recommend a house builder for Queensland?
 

We have just bought plot of land in Peregian Springs, Queensland. We originally had the intention of building a Retreat style home with Plantation Homes but despite numerous emails, we can still get no reply. We are now having second thoughts with regards to using this company if this is the level of service they provide, we are concerned if we actually buy a house with them. Can anyone recommend a decent builder.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Mil & Caroline

I know a few tradie's..brickies,chipies etc..Plantation pay the lowest rate of pay they can get away with,so consequently get the worst tradies.

I also know 3 people who have had homes built with plantation and not one would build with them again.

Another one to look at is BMW homes

Not knowing the area you are talking about...when you say "retreat style" are you talking about a "block & brick" construction or a timber frame "Queenslander" style house?

Plantation are a nightmare and the workmanship is shoddy.

Try Clarendon Homes.

We've just moved into our Grandview Home. It's beautiful. They have show homes up in Peregian Springs and also at Kawana.

Metricon are doing a house near us and seem to be doing a damn good job. Friends are using Plantation and it's been a nightmare for a year. They may be in by May.
