I’ve signed with TA and after doing my research I have no regrets. It’s coming out at about 24k per sqm but it’s everything I want and comparing it to…

Look to be completely fair- you pay a compromise I went to 4 different builders recently to move away from TA. Even with the price rises no one came close…

Have you scheduled in your start date yet?

So, speaking to Elation homes who were recommended to me- they come in at 3000 a square metre which is about $25-28k a square. More expensive that TA- but they…

Can I ask more about this? I'm at tender next week- how long did you have been tender and start? I was initially told Jan for start, which they revised…

I went a modification of their existing. Semi custom. I also put significant provisions in. Join the facebook group- it's not just me, everyone has had an increase of about…

I signed my drawings in March, and I'm expecting to start next April, so expect about 12 months from design to start build- longer if you're doing a pool before…

Yep you're right very very slow to be honest, but I wasn't in a rush, and I didn't want to coordinate designers, builders and other tradesmen myself. I'm just one…

I actually went with them not because of any sort of reputation or anything- my uncle built his house with them about 15/20 years ago, he turned out to be…

So the great thing is, given my frontage is now on the side street the approval was that the setback only needs to be 3m, it's given me a lot…

Hi,
I went with TA, but I'd also look at Mazzei (they've won a lot of awards of late), Carter Grange and even Porter Davis are doing some really nice stuff.…

hey team, i've had this same thing with other companies when i did my bench, it's impossible to get a perfect match, it actually is pretty close. Sometimes we notice…

Designs!
So given this is a corner block on a main road in Bentleigh East, I wanted to try and fit the facade of the street. I also kind of…

Not much has actually happened between February and now, not for the sake of trying. One thing I'm conscious of is TA is very very slow, as is a lot…

I made them increase the site costs to 44k and the traffic management is 22.5k. I was constantly told I'm 'over budgeting' but given it is a corner block and…

how long from designs to pretender to build? I had my designs complete at the start of July and still waiting on engineering before they start pretender. Seems to be…

So I've decided to knock down a house a bought in Melbourne and build. I have a corner block which is rather tricky because it's on a main road. It…
