Eight Homes Questions & Answers (page 2 of 5)

Is there any difference in the quality and workmanship from display homes and customers homes.???

We have just put our initial deposit of $888 down with eight homes, building the octave 32. All the displays seem to have that wood along the skirts over the floor boards. Do we have to have this? Cant they do the flooring and come back to do the skirts? This will be our forever home and whilst i LOVE everything else in the home i feel like this could make me not want to go ahead with them

Has anybody had the floating (laminate) timber flooring installed in their new home and found it noisy.

Does anybody’s know what part of the build of the home you can do yourself?

To anyone who has built with or is building with Eight Homes!

Did they cover your water and electricity bills during the build stage or just the usage part leaving you to pay all the charges?

I have built with two different companies previously and have never had to pay any part of water or electric bills until after I move in!

Anyone tell me about Eight homes. I am gong for sign final contract for a double storey but somehow I feel doubt about it. Please advise.

Hi 8 Homes. I’ve heard start dates after land settlement in the Geelong area can be up to 6 months! Is this correct? If not, what is the average start time after land settlement? Thank you

The major terrible thing that I am going through is final payment. Can any one give advise of it?
Have anyone been through the final stage with 8 home? They have the policy that I have to make the final payment before the home appliances installed, the rubbishes on site removed. The policy is NOT clearly mentioned or stated in the contract . And with other side, lender stated they need all the contract works to be completed with all materials and appliances installed BEFORE sending the final claim. What should I do?
I am currently going through the final stage with 8 home. It such a nightmare.
*The ACTUAL total construction days are excessed the days which stated on the contract.
*Things not getting done on time as promised.
* Ignored my emails
* Site supervisor been changed to different people and so many time without informing owner. And they did not pass things to the replacing supervisor before they left the position. Lack of communication.

Hi just wondering if eight homes offers a fixed site cost?

we have just started building with eight homes and we were wondering is there anyway possible we can add an alfresco in? just the roofing? or there's no way possible

I have chosen 8homes to build house for me. My sales quotation is final but they have given me building contract signing date after 1 month. Is this normal time frame? I don't find any reason why it will take 1 month? Due to financial reasons I need this building sign contract asap.

Can I please ask what is the direct email address of 8 home's complain department? I sent a complain letter to 8 home customer service but I also would like to make sure complain will be seen and issues can be addressed ASAP. The staff who responsible my job is not reliable and trust able at all. Not replying your email, not follow up for your requesting, ignore your question, arguing with you, lying, never does what she promise or does it in other way. It just too frustrating. I need someone can help me with this situation.

I can't find any info about energy ratings, water proofing of wet areas ect ect . I really like eight homes, but just curious were they stand compared to other bulk builders? There's isn't much info on the web site . Thank you, Kelly

Hi all, im looking at a floor plan with a base price of 200k, im wondering how much extra people spend once you include all the extras??

Hi
I am building with eight homes in atherstone estate lot [Personal Information removed]. I did choose a niche to be built in my family room in a s six house. I choose the niche from the display home and I asked the sales consultant that I want same niche in my house. He put it in my qoute. He added the wrong description of this niche instead of 500 mm deep he put it 90mm niche. I did not get the final drawing copy until the day of my contract so I couldn't check the dimensions and on contract day I was rushed by admin to sign the documents asap. I asked my admin [Name Removed] to fix the niche but she said I have signed the plan drawings .Now please tell me how can I check every single dimension on the plan and sign all the documents in two hours? I don't want any bad experience from eight homes so please fix these little issues.
Thanks

Hello,
We are thinking about building and have a few questions
- how many single storeys do you build?
- how many double storeys do you build?
- how many homes per year do you build?
We may have to relocate soon, what areas of Australia do you build in?
Thanks so much!
