We did away with a corridor as we considered it to be a waste of space, and had our son's bedroom made bigger (I suppose that could be 2 changes). Basically, we just had the wall moved. I think that maybe others who had the same house built, probably did that too as the plans were changed on the website to be the same as ours. We found that the overall build quality was far better than the new build we had in England and we're really happy with it.

Unfortunately all that glitters is not gold with Dale alcock. The main problems are the poor workmanship, lack of communication, incompetent staff and poor customer service. We know, because we have had the mispleasure to build with them. Personally, I have had a good look at Homebuyers and they represnt good value for money ( You will end up paying twice as much with alcock). I have spoken to several people who have built with them and they couldn't fault them. On the other hand I have spoken to several other people on our estate who built with alcock and their comments were less than complimentary. Make your own mind up but DO NOT RUSH INTO SIGNING UP.

We are signing up with Ultimate Homes tomorrow, they have been really helpful and have made loads of changes to the plan to suit our needs.

They arent the cheapest but their standard specs are good and they have had some great reviews so fingers crossed.

Good luck with the build. I don't know too much Ultimate about them but they really can't be any worse than the Dale Alcock rubbish palmed on to us.
