Statesman Homes Questions & Answers

We've changed our mind on some selections and noticed a few that weren't correct on our final selections contract (we haven't signed off on yet). We emailed our design consultant but the only response we received was one that emitted annoyance towards us with no questions or anything in our previous emailed referred too in a helpful manner. I understand from a designers point of view it can be frustrating if people change their mind but surely if we are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a home we have a right to make sure we are 100% content with our choices regardless of that meaning some things will be changed?

Hi is the quote for paving or concrete for the driveway usually mentioned in the original quote before you sign your contract or after you pay the deposit money

How much does it cost to upgrade the internals for built in wardrobes to 4 drawers, 3 fixed shelves and double rails for a 1910 wide and a 1500 wide robe?

Hi. I was given a footing cost off around $34000 but after soil test & engineering report, its gone up to $40000.
Can't believe as i was in a tight budget but seems now i have to change my mind to build with you anymore.
Wondering if i do my own soil test & get the report for my satisfaction? Will you accept that report?
Thanks

Hi,
Just wondering what the general time frame is for the 2nd fix phase.?
Our 2nd fix period started 23rd March & we were told a rough hand over date early May that was moved back to end of May which is only 4 weeks away. I'm mainly wondering as we still have no eaves up (which have been sitting on the ground in weather for 4 weeks now). Also waiting for bathroom/kitchen bench tops, plumbing, electrical fitting throughout, tiling in all wet areas, painting inside & out, air con, solar panels & solar heating....
Thank you in advance

Hello, our Statesman home is About 10 years old. Ensuite is leaking and has ruined the carpet in our bedroom and walk in robe. The door frames have swollen and paintwork bubbling. We have stopped using the ensuite until we can determine how best to go about fixing this problem. Our family is now using the main bathroom which we rarely used before this occurred. Have now noticed the main bathroom leaking also. Great concern that there is water proofing issue and what other problems this is creating that we can't see. Two bathrooms in the same house leaking. Help!!

Thank you Rebecca

Hi, do Statman homes use Superlock?

Hi
I was just wondering who I need to speak to about a problem with my stone bench top as the join has come apart. my house is nearly 12 months old and I'm sure this is not covered under the essastone warranty as it isn't a manufacturer fault but an installation one. Would love some help please. Thanks

Hi, wondering if anyone knows what is included when statesman homes have the move in upgrade promotions advertised?

Can we see an Oakland House display?

We have had some problems with Statesman, and are about to build again, likely not signing up, but getting quotes. Our home is now 10 years young but these concerns detail that sub standard subbies built our home.
It took almost twelve months for slab because our stuff got stuck (lost, forgotten, misplaced) with engineering then the plan was wrong.
The issues are;
The Carport collapsed
Gable board flew off the front, and the next one is coming away too
Bench tops were not rolled under and The wood is expanding past the laminate
Kitchen Cupboard doors are peeling off (duroform) pot drawer has abig bubble in it, utensil drawer starting to peel
Bathroom and Ensuite tiling, the floor spacer pegs were grouted over, now the grout is coming away, stopped using ensuite ages ago, now can see the pegs in bathroom. We had the carport fixed, and one side of the gable, the rest has not been repaired but they know.
So what is the warranty on kitchen's? Does the tiling meet builders regulations?

Have to say I was and still am very disappointed with second rate quality took forever to build my daughters home then have the fit out so rushed that kitchen cabinet doors and towel rails started falling apart 3 days after she moved in and the huge pile of dirt that is still sitting in her front yard most of which isn't even from her lot she paid a fortune for a small landscaped garden that has been almost buried under a mound of dirt I would like to know that statesman/hickinbothem are going to resolve this for her without her having to pay out even more money?
