Word of the month would be "slooooow" progress - well ok, at least there's progress. A house build can certainly feel like the longest process, especially after misleading assurances by the building company. 18 months in our tiny sleepout of 18m2 has not helped our patience.

    Could you please share how much the TOTAL cost was to have your home built on the slope in AKLD. It would be so very helpful for those of us that are about to embark on a similar journey in NZ. ...I can't even imagine what the retaining walls cost.... So, if you don't mind sharing it would help to know what the total cost was.

    That is so sad. Thank you for being brave enough to share your pain. Please don't hesitate to talk to a professional about it. Sixty six years ago when I was a baby my Dad sat in his car in a hospital parking lot all night, waiting to hear in the morning if I survived the night. I still tear up now thinking of his love for me. Kind regards Vince (Perth WA)

      Oh wow, thanks for sharing your story. I'm glad your dad got the good news that you survived. I'm grateful I got to be by my boys side the entire time. I even went into CT and MRI scans with him. I still think about it a lot but luckily he's recovering very well, now 2 months after the accident.

    As a Kiwi I am absolutely horrified to hear this happened in New Zealand. So glad you've at least got a house to live in now and can focus on gaining control of your finances again, but as someone who is very keen on having his own home built here, this doesn't fill me with confidence at all. At the very least, I will take your lessons to heart and do my best such fraud under control. Thanks so much for sharing your story.

    • @hillsidehouse
      @hillsidehouse 10 месяцев назад

      We'd actually consider building again and use all we have learned to make it a better experience. I think the main issue was the lack of control and the way the building company abused the power they had through lies and ability to make more profit by not acting in our best interest. I hope you get to build your own house some day and have a positive experience. Although I'd still factor in budget and timeline blowouts ;-)

    • @DuncanJimmy
      @DuncanJimmy 10 месяцев назад

      @@hillsidehouse Thanks. What gives me pause is Clause 12.8 which allows the builder to claim cost fluctuations and increase the cost of the house you've already negotiated, e.g. $500K house with $100K deposit becomes $750K upon completion. One can only hope the lawyers set Schedule 1 of 3910 correction to prevent that from happening in NZ. Terrifying.

    Honestly a 25% margin on price increases is ridiculous. And the build company wasn’t willing to negotiate it? 10% is far more reasonable. Especially since the price increases isn’t going to increase the build company’s overhead by much. The only cost involved for them is a bit of repricing and variation processing. Seems really unethical…
