In November 2019, my wife and I purchased a lot for a knock down and rebuild project. We immediately started looking for a builder. Everyone was telling us that the site costs for our block will be about 60k to 80k (with large volume builders). We spoke with Dulger Homes (Jane), which analysed our draft (we made a draft in AutoCad of the house we wanted) and she told us that the site costs will probably cost about 20/25k$. We decided to pay the deposit and have our land surveyed. The first estimate of the site cost came back at 25K$. We were really happy about the accuracy which Jane demonstrated. We wanted to do a custom build, and for a small extra cost, Dulger Homes, allowed us to do so. Let’s just say that it took a long time to reach a satisfying layout, but Jane always helped us always giving 100%. it took us 8 months to draw everything and selecting all the fittings. Jane was exceptional! always in contact with us, calling us in the evening (to not interrupt our working hours), giving us advices and ideas. It’s our first building and we wanted to be extra careful in everything we were doing. We never felt that they were pushing us to sign as soon as possible. We always had the impression that they didn’t care at which speed the process was moving… they just want to build us the house we wanted, and that takes time… no rush. We have just signed the contract… we upgraded really a lot… and still the final price was well below what the large volume builders have quoted us at the initial stage (~10-15% less). The site cost came back at the end at 29k$, locked in price (no surprises). They will start building around January/February (they still have to demolish the old building), after which, I will keep updating the review to provide more details about this builder, which for now have extremely exceed our expectations!!!! December 2021: Handover completed with little surprises 🙂 June 2022: Final maintenance completed (very minor things) I wanted to take a couple of minutes to really thank you for the magnificent work done with our home. We could not be happier!!! All the team members always performed extremely well. I want to particularly name four people: – Jane: Her initial quotes were very close to what was the final quote, with little to no surprises when the contract was ready. She was always very kind and provided us with fast and good outcomes. – Zaid: He always doubled checked with us when something was coming up, and assisted in making our a beautiful (and more importantly) well built place – Dean: The relationship with dean did not start very well, but the more we talked to him the more we were able to reach a good understanding. His time in explaining why additional expenses were added was very much appreciated. – Paul: Paul worked really hard to finalise all the small defects in a prompt way. Always available and speedy. Yes, it took long time to finalise everything, but that is what you expect when you work with contractors. And finally, I know we did not have any direct contact with many other employee that made this project possible, but to all of them, I want to say a sincere THANK YOU. If time comes, we will strongly recommend DH to any friend or colleague that is looking to building their home!!!
