Wisdom Homes..........The Wise Choice

This is their point that I tend to disagree with the most.
If they insist on this (or on signing the contract before I have fully checked it) then it's…

You mention 'answers at contract signing'. I need the answers before that point is reached.
Did you get to check the contract (yourself and/or with legal help) prior to their expectation…

Just a quick follow up - I had a brief discussion with our financial institution loans person today and they were very interested to hear the justification from Wisdom for…

If they say it's unnecessary to correctly name the one responsible then I can't see why they have a problem removing it when requested by the client.
Also, why would a…

A couple of problems I see with that -

2. Initiating direct contact with clients (current and potential) is a great way to demonstrate…

By the way - anyone know why a company director/owner would start a thread like this (good intentions I am assuming) but then so rapidly disappear from the forum? Was…

Will be interested to hear from them why our first sighting of the actual contract would be at the point of signing.

I'm just about in the same position so would be very interested to hear anyone's experience with Wisdom at this point in the process.
Was any of it able to be…

Can you expand on why you would not bother?
I am not expecting to use all of the existing kitchen as it will be a different configuration but I believe I…

We are looking at demolishing our current home and building something hopefully much more practical and current.
As we also have a second house that needs some work we are considering…

That sounds manageable - especially considering your build was double storey and we are looking at just a single storey 28 sq house.
We are still trying to decide between the…

They have selections from AustralBricks, PGH and Boral. We have pretty much decided that the Austral selections are more suited to us/our location.
Just as an example this is the Austral…

Lots of ideas! - outdoor feature wall

Wow... so much more attractive than the tank on it's own.
Makes you wonder why so many people leave the tank so attractively exposed!

Excellent point.
I think this should be highlighted in the FAQs.
People generally do not understand how much identifying information they give away online.
Data inherent in images is one that I…

Security screen for a 1200mm timber front door

That is a very nice finish and a great match for your door and brickwork.
Looks very similar to what we are considering at the moment.
