We started our build three years ago with Fowler Homes Southern Lakes, director/ project manger John Mansfield . Still waiting on occupancy certificate, 56 page report of fails. It’s been an absolute nightmare. We have been lied to on numerous occasions , this man has no idea about customer service , my advice don’t even consider them!
Geoff
I would advise you not to use this company, our overall experience has been extremely stressful.

Hi
I can recommend Dunlop Builders – they’re great and lovely people.

We also had a bad experience with Fowler Homes Southern Lakes. Can I talk to you Deb and Geoff?
Deb
Would love to compare notes on our experience , we have been advised to go to fair go by our solicitor due to length of time this has dragged on. I can email you have requested a follow up email when you reply so it should not show on this forum.

Fowler Homes Southern Lakes are not paying their sub contractors. Big issues here!
Steph Carline
Thanks for the Link, we were expecting this. He’s been giving us the run around for some time now.

Tony Hill claims he has contacted customers of John Mansfield and reassigned them builders . We have not been contacted and I know of another customer in Queenstown who has also not been contacted. Hoping to hear from others who have not been contacted.

We have also not been contacted by Tony Hill since Mansfield went into liquidation. No help at all. Nothing.
