How long does Simonds take to build the home? I heard it took 5 months for Someone, is it true?

Hi Bharti,
The time it takes to build can vary depending on a range of factors. Typically, a single story home can take 4-6 months and a double story home can take 6-9 months. However the time frame can vary due to structural changes and house design. We require more on site conditions to be able to provide an accurate time frame for completion. I hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions.
Thank you.

Simonds

Enquiry why can't Simonds put up temporary fencing when us as customers have expressed our concerns many times of people dumping on our block. Which has been a huge issue in our state we got our title back in October we still don't have a start date not at any fault to us. Yesterday I got told we won't be starting till mid to late January that's the whole Christmas period of our block being exposed to the many builders already building in our stage and people. We still don't even have our builders permit this should have been done already it's starting to get beyond the joke, we were told 8 weeks from when we get title it's now way over that.

Kind regards
Samantha Forssman.

if they are reducing our home by a certain length in a particular area can we add that (reduced length) to another place of the home?

I think so. Talk to your Sales Consultant first before making a decision. My design was exactly what I was after and had the option for an extended alfresco which I didn't take. Structural changes to a standard design incurs a cost. We changed our ceiling height to 2590mm and that's all we did. Make sure to select a block size that suits your design. In our case it was a titled and soil tested estate where Simonds was already building couple of houses.

We have a cavity sliding door not working in our WIR just less then a year after home was completed. Just wondering is this structural maintenance part? This door was an extra cost at that time and I'm guessing this could be the result of installing the door at the wrong position at first then it got fixed but not at 100%.

We are having a bad experience also - we arranged private inspectors report and our site manager says its an opinion only.. some big issues that have been rushed. You spend so much to build a house - its disappointing that there are problems.

We do not normally cancel contracts. However, our regional office will happily discuss this with you but we need more information around the reason for cancellation.
Furthermore, would you be able to elaborate what you mean by "preliminary contract"?

Tiles was dumped on my driveway 6 months ago blocking my garage. No one bothered to come and do anything. Now that I'd disposed of it to clear our space and made complain about it and now someone wanted to come. I'd made my intention known to them that I'd given them a full year to do so but no one bothered. Is this how simonds building houses? Deliberately layed left over tiles into our house..dumped some more tiles in front of our garage and leave it there. Isn't one year enough to get it fix..if simonds dont want to fix it then i have every right to ask for credit back to get someone else to do it..what's simonds excuses for not crediting me back ? What's simonds excuses for laying left over tiles into my house ?

CB homeasked

VIC, Melbourne

Email sent and suprisingly as expected no response. We was able to meet the tiler and he told us that simonds was fully aware of the different tiles but simonds told the tiler to lay the tiles regardless. This is ethically and morally not acceptable. Can someone from simonds explain this to me.. you guys been around for 60 years and this is how you treat and built houses for your customer ? Throw in some left over tiles from somewhere and hope no one will notice ? You guys can keep quiet but I wont. Simonds screwed up my house and I will do the same to simonds. There are hundred of people at simonds so surely someone there please explain why you delibrately put tiles like that into our house. ?

Hi we are building our first home with Simonds.The house is ready and the final inspection is done to which the inspector found out some faults. Our Site manager is asking us to sign off but the blinds are still left to be installed and the faults are being taken care if.
Should we wait for these things to be done or should we sign off?
He has promised that the blinds will be done end of this month.
