We definately recommend Format Homes

published

We have built 3 other times with various builders in SA over 27 years and have to say that building with Format was THE best experience that we have had building a house. We had our own design and nothing was impossible. From the moment we started building we were given the mobile number of the supervisor and had one to one contact with him. But we only met him close to handover as we didnt have any issues all through the build.
The staff in the office from the receptionist, the selections people, the administration people to the owner (whom we met) were all really nice.
If we ever build again, we would go straight to Format and will be recommending them to everyone we know.
Hassle Free Building - even with our own design

Good

With our own house design, Format listened to our needs and gave us a great home. A few quirks along the way but you'll get some with any builder. See an in depth review of our house being built at http://www.clearchain.com/blog/tags/format-homes

Having to chase the builder

Excellent

We have noticed that Format homes do give you a few little extras that no other builder will do with out you asking or paying for.
We are so happy with the service we have been given, the quality of their work is amazing. We have defeinatley never been left in the lurch. If we needed advise help and changes etc they never questioned it and gave us great solid advice.We are looking forward to our new home. There def was no hidden prices etc in our contract. A great company to build with we highly recomend them
To be honest we just cant complain !

Do you built at Normanville and do you guarantee your timelines with compensation paid to the client if you do not make it?

Hi Donna,
Yes we do build at Normanville and have done quite a few new homes there in the past.
We shy away from 'guaranteeing' building timelines purely because we take the approach that it is better to do the job properly rather than rush it for the sake of a few weeks. We have a core group of good trades that we use continually as they produce good quality work, and find we get a better result if we give them the time and space to do the job properly. Having said this, over 95% of our new homes are built within the Contractually specified build timeframe.

I am currently building with Format. The complete build from contract signature to completion is now expected to be 22-23 months although I still can't get accurate end date. If it was just a matter of a few weeks I wouldn't see an issue but I wouldn't build again without guaranteed timelines with compensation in the contract. I have lost track of the number of times that I have asked for an estimated finish date to be told that they will be able to give one at this milestone. When that milestone arrives and I ask for an accurate time frame and I get given another milestone of when they should know. Most of the estimates have been and gone.
