Q: Have you found any major issues for houses being built
within large developments such as houses built by Universal Homes in Rodney or Long Bay?
A: In general,
it is true that well reputable building companies with long building history tend to deliver good quality buildings.
When it is unfair
to say that small and newly established building companies tend to build
poorly, it is a truth that most of problem new builds are built by un-experienced
new-comers or small developers.
Reasons are
obvious. Sole traders or small developers tend to cut cost by reducing
management inputs or completely ignore construction management. It is also
common for some small building companies or spec owners to limit their
construction management in price bargaining only.
This
finding is not a secret for most buyers. This is why spec house built by large
reputable companies are selling more in general. You get what you pay
for. This is also a universal rule of thumb for housing industry.
Here is a
very interesting topic: Can small building companies, sole traders, individual
developers and the like build as good as other well established building
companies? I will talk about that during future coming events.
