We are currently building with Generation Homes in Hamilton

Hi Sarah, Watch everything. Generations only consideration is to complete the build in 14 weeks, regardless of what they hand you over at the end, then come back and finish the house properly under the guise of maintenance. Your with Hamilton, we were with Waipa so hopefully your build goes well, but we moved into our “dream” home and then spent the next 12 months having nearly every tradie back to fix up poor work which Generation missed (because they never looked) and we had to point out to them, and I mean two to three tradies a day at times. The maintenance in our case basically consisted of us finding a fault, reporting it to Generation whose only involvement from there was to pass on our contact details to the tradie involved. I see recently they have removed the review capability from their facebook page too , I wonder why. Anyway proceed with great caution, and like I said hopefully they have picked up their game or the Hamilton lot are better than Waipa.

Thanks for this feedback. We are looking at who to use to build in Te Awamutu and will stay far away from Generation homes thanks to this feedback =) Have you heard anything about Davies homes?

Hi Anon Have heard of them but not seen their work. If i were building again i would probably go with RPS, classic or if i had a bit more cash Vida, who have a show home on Cambridge Park.

Hi Steve, Yes we have also been looking at rps homes, they are very reasonably priced. And A1 homes. Davies Homes does a lot of the St Kilda builds I believe. So many choices!
