Just a word from a Tradesman, I have worked with nearly all of the group builders as a sub contractor and yes, on occasion seen some terrible work.
BUT;
Generally most of the group builders do try hard and turn out a good product, with the best bang for your buck, do your homework and see what your square metre rate comes out at….
Go to one of there work in progress sites and see the finishing detail and ask about the timeframes.
If you have good prompt correspondance and transparency with the builders representative you
should not have any problems as these guys do actually value there business and do not want it to go down the pan.
Just to give you the heads up I built with Platinum Homes under 2 different franchises, Once in Puhoi with the Orewa crowd and now up in Kerikeri with the Northland/Whangarei franchise.
I still live in my Kerikeri house and 5yrs on we are still very happy with it.
I would build with them again tomorrow…
