Hi
Just wanted to post this about our experience with Stylemaster homes for those looking at building in Brisbane.
We are currently building a house in on the northside of Brisbane with Stylemaster Homes. The process started back in June (authorising soil tests, contract to be done up etc) and we signed a contract in July. Throughout this process and even until August we were told by the sales consultant that the whole process from soil test to completion would take 6 mths and we could expect the project to be completed by December 07. As it turned out this was completely untrue - the site was only cut on Thursday and the slab will not be laid until 14 November (we were even told in September that we could expect the slab to be poured early Oct). Basically, their timeframe is still within the terms of the building contract as their interpretation of events that trigger different stages in the contract has changed several times.
What has made us more annoyed with the company is that the same Sales Consultant is currently building with Stylemaster also in North Brisbane, his project lagged ours (ie our soil tests were conducted before his land was sealed, ours went to Council first etc), but construction on his property has already commenced.
So overall the process is now taking longer than other builders would and costing us more (one of the main reasons we chose Stylemaster was the short completion time as this is an IP).
