Hi everyone, you really need to be wary in the current market of WA project builders with regards to timeframes. I know for a fact builders in the BGC group, including Commodore, are taking 18 months to build on a titled Lot including Pre-Construction and construction timeframes.
For all the money you save upfront, you then forfeit in holding costs/lack of rent. Not to mention they are cheap because they use their own products - window frames, bricks, appliances etc. I don't mean to sound blanket generic, I'm sure they'll build a good home, but 18-24 months for a single dwelling is just too long in my opinion. I do hope they buck the trend for you though SunnyBill!
You wouldn't happen to work for the competition would you!!. I think full disclosure is required of who you work for and what your role is. My guess is ABN Group who are in hot competition with the BGC Group. I have seen the construction timeframes for Commodore and at the moment the average is 11 months. They have told me to add 3 months on to this. So the average 18-24 months you are talking about is frankly a load of rubbish. I have built with the ABN Group (Homebuyers/Celebration) in the past and have been happy it just so happens BGC (Commodore) have the best deals at the moment.
