Can someone please provide some feedback for Homebuild Homes, Baillie...

Home build were signed up to build and project manage our son’s house. It soon became obvious the builder was incompetent and Homebuild were asked to several site meetings to discuss the very poor workmanship. My son was fobbed off. Eventually he stopped the build by locking the gate to the property. A quantity surveyor was employed by my son to determine how bad the build was; his report was that it was ‘a push over and rebuild’. After almost 8 months of being ignored the situation was finally taken to mediation and a confidential settlement was reached. However it is obvious my son does not have enough money to pull the build apart and rebuild to an acceptable standard.

If you are seriously considering Baillie Construction, find people they have built for and talk to them directly. Don’t take the directors word for it, he is not a builder. Get everything in writing. Their site reads very well and seem to have good ideas but very difficult to make it happen in reality.

Homebuild Homes are the worst. Avoid at all costs!

Stay away from Bailee Construction, they make promises to finish your build in a short time, but in fact, don’t in anyway meet timelines or take due care

Homebuild Homes are nothing but disappointment! Don’t be fooled by their false promises of low costs and fast build because you will be very disappointed at the end. The only time that they put an exceptional service was prior to signing a contract with them. After that, it went down hill and will give you excuses after excuses as to why there are so many long delays! It took them a year to build our house when everyone else around us were being built for 6 months. At the end, we ended up spending way more than what was promised and more than what was quoted by other home builders. Avoid them at all costs!

It’s way past when you’ve built, but I want to plug for Origin Homes. They were spectacular to deal with in our New Build. Transparent on costs, and such great builders – perfectionists. There were some cost overruns due to weather, and they were very upfront about it, and were happy to go halves on a cost for particular mistake in calculation (this was around $4k in total, so a tiny %) We’ve referred a few people their way. A colleague built with them, then built with someone else afterwards (paint finish wasn’t quite 100%) but now has many regrets going to another company, as Origin were so good.

Hi john, Im interested as Im looking into them. Would you be available to contact?
