All Topics / General Property / Feedback on Spec builders please
Hi helpful friends
I am looking to build a new investment property in Melbourne and am going to use one of the big spec home builders.(Metricon Simonds Henly etc.)
Has anyone had a bad experience that I should know about before I choose a builder.You see so many things on TV about poor quality, no service, structual defects.I would appreciate if anyone had some feedback

Hi Rossolot,
I don’t know anyone who HASN’T had a problem building through those types of companies…..good luck with it.
Personally, I’d do it myself. (Project manage)
Cheers,

I agree with diclem. A friend got Henley to build their family home and it doesn’t take a building inspector to pick out the cheap materials used, also poor workmanship.
I would shop around. Maybe pay a little extra and get something which isn’t going to tip over once out of warranty. Also, try and find people who have used a certain builder, get their recommendations and see whether or not they are happy with their job.
Regards,
Ozi
