Well I don't know if you are all still reading on the Dixon Home issues here, which I've only just decided to search. But we signed up with Dixon Homes Cairns last December (we are situated a lot further south)  and had the block cut in June, I hassled a couple of weeks ago about getting more tradespeople and had a plumber turn up last Tue and do our plumbing and now I'm told the concreter has left Dixon (not bloody surprise) and now waiting for a new concreter just for a slab. I agree that the price they pay these tradespeople is where a lot of the problem obviously is, but prolonging these jobs is also costing them too, surely. So who knows when we'll even have a finished product. There are some others we know, as we live in a small town everyone talks, and they are taking over 12 months to complete.
