Montgomery Homes Questions & Answers

Hi Fiona, thanks for your enquiry. Build times can vary from 20 - 42 weeks depending on factors such as home design and the status of land. The pre-construction timeline typically takes 6 months and is heavily influenced by factors such as council timelines, selections and BASIX approval.

We are building a holiday home in Nelson Bay, and have been told 50 plus weeks. It is a technical build. Just watch for all the extra's they slap on you every time you ask a question! I think we are at $3k + which we were never told about! The salesperson you want to talk to is Luke, he has been amazing! It is everything afterwards that has been interesting and disappointing.

We built with Montgomery 10years ago. We recently sold that home and a building inspection was carried out by the new home owners prior to purchasing. The building inspector took 3hrs trying to find any 'faults' with the home (and it was comforting to learn there were none!) We have decided to build again with Montgomery purely for this reason and their reputation of building good quality homes!

Thanks for the info Willow. That is good hear that you were happy . Can I ask you built in where Sydney or somewhere else in nsw . And also how was the building process . Did it take longer to build than given time or was in time & was it in budget what was quoted . And were you happy with finishes over the years living ( or there were issues here and there ) Sorry , to ask so many questions , it is bit nerve recking as building for first time ) Thanks

Hi Kris. We're sorry to hear it hasn't been easy to get your hands on our inclusions brochure. If you could send us an email at clientcare@montgomeryhomes.com.au we'd be happy to share these with you.

We are thinking to in Flame zone, as we are buying a block in flame zone.

Hi PKJ, I can confirm that Montgomery Homes hasn't increased their pricing since the announcement of HomeBuilder and we are happy to share more information with you. Please email us at clientcare@montgomeryhomes.com.au

No complaints on the quality of their tiles so far.

We moved into our new Montgomery home in Jan 2019. Immediately we noticed huge problems with all of our tiled areas... grout missing in sections, grout crumbling away, cracked tiles, tile lippage, and patterned tiles that don't line up. We had to go through 5 months of having a new tiler in the house for two days a week making repairs. We are still left with the issue of tiles not lining up on two walls in two separate bathrooms. Montgomery and Thynk refuse to fix those last sections because they tell us its just an optical illusion (!!!!!). The reality is that it would cost them too much to do the repair properly - shower screen and fittings removal, vanity mirror removal, bath taps removal, potential for entire floor to also have to be redone if they damage a couple of tiles while doing the repairs (because they don't have any from the same batch). We will be taking legal action.

Thanks for your response . Which thynk tile place did you use

We went to the Central Coast branch.

I would love to know as well! We have just been told we are in FZ, yet none of our neighbours are!!

So far we are looking at an extra $220k and still going.....

$520000 upwards - not worth it

Hi Rach21, thanks for your feedback. The outcome will depend on the type of roof you are having built which may differ from other clients' builds. We would like to clear up any confusion relevant to your individual home and ensure the correct outcome.

Customer services is one of our highest priorities, we are disappointed to hear your experience doesn’t reflect this.

As we can't determine your client details from your product review profile, could you kindly email build@montgomeryhomes.com.au

We would like to resolve this and any other queries you may have as soon as we can.

Thanks,

We had a concrete tile roof installed and sarking was included. It was not an optional extra. This is mainly about exclusion of water and dust. This was discussed with Montgomery during the build. I suspect that it may not be necessary with a colorbond roof where an insulation layer is more important. I am not a builder though.
