Hi All,
With either builders, any idea what the actual process/build time is from tender to handover?

Hi Lazychef,
Have you made progress with the process? Could you please share your experience since the last post?

Did they builder say why they recommended BBH?
Just wondering what criteria you used to narrow it down to BBH over other builders? With the pricing between project builders you mentioned,…

Thanks for reply.

Before a demolition for a knock down rebuild, has anyone tried to sell whatever they can from the existing house?
If so, what were you able to sell?

You can lways give them…

Just wondering whether or not people have been able to negotiate for freebies or…

I think Hall and Hart might fit in the smaller builder category, if you're comparing to metricon and the likes.
Generally, the inclusions for smaller builders seem to be better, hence…
