Currently building with Generation Home Chch (just started) things are going smoothly at the moment. Is there anything I have to keep eye on during this building process. Comments are highly appreciated Thanks

Built with them in Cambridge so not a direct comparison but I would say watch anything and everything. Their 14 week build ‘claim’ means excess pressures on their contractors to rush a job to meet a target often at the expense of quality. Visit the site as often as you can and get straight onto them if there’s the smallest thing your not happy with. They chucked ours together and we’ve taken a year of fix ups to get the house to where it should have been when we moved in certainly way beyond anything you could have deemed “maintenance”. Target driven company rather than quality driven. Like I said that’s Cambridge not Chch so hope your build goes better than ours.

Built with them in Cambridge so not a direct comparison, but I would recommend daily site visits if you can and keep an eye on everything they do, they are a time driven rather than quality driven company and will do what ever it takes to achieve their 14 week build time often at the expense of doing a proper job. We have taken a year of call backs and reworks to get our Generation home even close to where it should have been when we moved in. Like I said not Chch so hope they are better than the Cambridge lot and your hope your build goes well.
