Just doing some due diligence, anyone built with Greenland Homes Christchurch? What was your experience? How did they deal with any mistakes and were variations due to undervaluing of prime cost or provisional cost items common and add much to the contract price? Would you build with them again? Thanks

Hi, Sorry to not answer your question directly, but I do want to warn you to get PC Sums OUT of your contract. Everywhere! Our pc sums resulted in overages of anywhere from 60% to 164%!!!!! Our house cost $58,000+ MORE than we were quoted, and we changed NOTHING from the original plan. 58K is a huge overage on a 450K budget! So, my only help is in advising you to stay away from Signature Homes, and also to get PC Sums OUT of the contract. Honest contractors need very few of them. We had 2 PAGES of them!!!

Hi CG, sorry for the delay, have been away. We have built 6 houses so far through Greenland. Husband is a subbie and we were so impressed with Sean and his builds and price that we have built speccies with him. We are also going to build our next family home in Prestons with him and our best friends built their house with him as well.Some other builders I would recommend in Christchurch apart from Sean are McStay Builders, Peter Ray, DNA Structures.
