Dont Know.Not aware.

they do compromise on quality of material and labour, and also bad customer service.

I would recommend if you haven’t yet finalized eight homes thn you are in profit
These guys lack in communication and supervisors blaming other supervisors
Please keep your site inspector if u can.
As our previous supervisor lied about lots of things

same experience, lie over lie and the builder will never answer u properly on anything you ask, they keep loosing theyre supervisor as well, new guy every 3 month

What advice you after. I dont get you?

It has been a good experience till now. I would definitely recommend them. Good luck.

Our build has been going for 15 months and is still not complete. I would advise you to choose a different builder, we have had so many issues and it has been the worst experience of our lives.

they'll start quick, get your money then stall. The house beside us is one of there builds' and nothing had happened to it for weeks on end, read the reviews mate, you're better off spending a little more, they pay for there reviews, should say enough with that alone

Thanks mate, Switched to Metricon.

OMG I am at the site cut stage (outer Geelong) & after reading reviews I must admit I am scared & worried. My dream, retirement forever home appears so distant & unsure. Seems I have no choice but to hire an independent building inspector for all stages due to many reviews re shoddy trades. So far Maria S & Ashleigh have been just fantastic but anxious to the stage of feeling sick in regard to the actual construction. Will post running reviews along the journey.

Hi Nikita.
Thanks for the reply. Finally I have been able to contact my supervisor and he has mentioned that they will resume working soon over this weekend. I am giving this one last chance to the team.
I will email you soon if this does not happen.
If eight homes can start working on my construction and give a good quality home, I will re consider giving positive ratings.

Will send you an email, I just hope I will get a reply from you because I have reported this to your display home office in Woodlea on 11 Aug and it has been put on record in your system but no one acted on it. I rang your office many times over and got transferred to the site in charge but nobody picked up the phone so I left a message twice, no response. The next time I rang Iwas referred to the administrator who didn't pick up the phone so again another message left and guess what no response whatsoever. So I would consider it a miracle if anyone would reply to my email.

It's funny your contact phone posted onsite is a trunk line instead of a direct line to the site incharge, no wonder it is so hard to get in touch when something goes wrong onsite.

Please be responsible on site because building a home is a costly exercise.

Good luck Maria, Honestly!! I've sent 40+ emails to eight homes and all they seem to do is bypass answering the questions I've asked in what appears to be an attempt of "if we ignore them, they'll go away" scenario. All I can suggest is that you keep emailing them daily. I'm finally onto the construction manager yet he appears to want to ignore the issue just as much as the first person I was talking too. The generic comment from Bec here (and every other complaint/ question) indicates that it's easier to copy and paste so they're more or less profit people, not people people

Hi Bec,

I'm not sure why you believe an email address is suitable given the lack of replies for three months but never the less, I've forwarded the emails through to the address provided. If you also read my question, there is no address to provide, you're building on the lot next to mine.

I have built-in Tarneit. My build time was extended by 3 weeks so yes delays are there. After service is poor. We have been in-the-house for last 2 months and have found poor quality doors, and the SPa had chips and the spa pump is not even supplied as yet. The builder is not replying my calls and emails... Rest you see my review.
Good Luck

I haven't built with them but I'm next door to a lot they're building on. They've damaged my lot and I would much rather get a gun license to shoot myself in the foot than to try get any sort of straight answer from them. Their site supervisor use language I'd never expect to hear from complete strangers and he was dismissive and just rude. They seem like they don't care about anything and they only way they can get good reviews is by buying them. Despite the mountain of proof that they used my lot, they still believe that because I cant show anyone actually causing the damage, that they're not responsible for the damage. They're a high volume builder who appear to want to build and then move on, regardless of what's left to do or what needs fixing. If something will eat into their profit, they don't want to know about it in my opinion

Does anyone know why Eight Home say one thing and change things saying it is Woodlea have changed ... WHEN WOODLEA HAVE CHANGEd NOTHING

Eight Home... please explain !!!!!!!!!!!

Probably because they can get more money out of you by having you pay for extras... render or additional brickwork and timber for example. They only get good reviews by buying them, I'm arguing over damage to my property from their build next door, they're not honest builders

Interesting Sean.
Pays to read and research. Unfortunately family members too keen on actually building their 1st home.

Hi Bec we are still waiting to be completed our home it’s been 2 month our contract was expired but still no clue to get our key so could you help us where to speack for more serious matter because our supervisor said always next week. It’s been 2 month. It’s really out of control even he is not answering our call too. Waiting for your response. Thank you

We started our house last year, our contract has expired already.still no clue to finish home. Don’t have a look 5 star reviews. We did same thing and we are middle of the nowhere

6 weeks over contract of a house that was told if good weather will be done in 6 months....took 1 week short of a full year to hand over....3 months later still things to fix without a fix date....5 star reviews are most people has not started building or got a gift card to do....if you tell the truth dont get a gift card....but dont care as long as people see what is to really deal with lat8 homes.
