Your not the only one. It took two and a half years before i got my house and they still havent finished things and they got their money. It started from the first day of construction. Got charged for 6 cubic mts of rock that came from the house behind that were digging a swimming pool. Had no steal beam to continue brick work upstair and had to wait about a month. Brick work not done upstairs and plaster was in. Had the wrong cornice. Got floods in the house because the rumpus room was all open from where the beam had to go in and when they did fix it they didnt put any insulation in the roof and it still doesnt have any. Staircase had to be redone 4 times and then half of it a 5th time because their stupid workers put an oil stain on the step. All my window frames are scratched, they raised the shower bases so high that the tiles dont even hide the cement and the porch leaks. We had to pay extra for a builders clean and it was disgusting i had to clean it myself again. And this was before handover. After handover is another story. Got the hot water put in and it was the wrong one . Got a rheem solar panel and a dux hot water tank. They connected everything and it didnt work had to wait a month for hot water and when they did come and fix it i was told my hot water tank doesnt have any warrenty because they put a different solar panel and im still waiting for them to change it. When they put my oven in they couldnt push it in the cavity because it was too small and we had to fix it ourselves. Cant use the bath because there's no spa pump and found a hole in the bath from when they did the frame for the bath. I got no mirrors so we put them ourselves and we paid for them. No manhole cover and a missing handle on one of the doors.And to top it off today we started getting water in the house leaking from the roof. So i know how you feel they are the WORST EVER BUILDERS and i wouldnt reccomend them to anyone even if they were the only builders around.
Totally Agree!
There should be some penalty for these small time builders who think they can get into the caper easily just by doing a building course and starting up a company. I hear the MD Ravi has a house in toorak. wonder if it has been sold or taken off the market?will the law penalise such crooks and make them pay?
Good Bye To Bad Rubbish (GOOD RIDDANCE) we just finished our house in time, feel sorry for any one caught up in this crap to follow, we still have some issues but can fix them ourselves, the directer (Rani) should lose his building license and never be allowed to build a dog kennel let alone a house again, I hope he loses his house, car etc. and get a taste of what he has put some of us through, the so called building manager (Frank ) will probably end up working for bunnings and pity anyone that listens to him for advise, For diori1966 I believe Ravi's name is Ravinthran Krishnan as per the building regristration Number DB-U 29470
I'm a trades person that has worked with them they owe us thousands of dollars the ### deservers every thing that's coming his way, it's funny how he drives a $100, 00 dollar car and he did not pay his trades people. Good luck trying get money out of them, and to all who has built with this company I feel sorry for all of you.
Hey guys, I hate to advise but Formula Homes has been put in the hands of liquidators. They were hopeless at running a business and have ruined many people's lives. I personally believe that the directors were scammers, taking people's money without any intention of delivering what they were supposed to. They also didnt pay many of their contractors, leaving many in financial ruin. Does anybody know Ravi's surname, I would like to take action against him personally
i have just had an independant inspection done on my overdue unfinished rubbish formula home.25 pages later most of the house has to be pulled down i am going to end the contract at the end of this week and finish it myself.They are the worst builder ever and none of the employees will answer thier phones or contact back.Section 43 of your contract tells you how to end it, a substantial breech is going over the allocated build time or not installing the correct items as per contract.all you need to do is send it on paper to them and give them 10 days.
This ### is still building his own site works and has not got his planning permit yet. Expects another person to clean up his incompetence. What a joke ! No one can build on his land and he is paying penalties because of his own inconpetence
We are in the same boat, what a pack of d!#kheads we are 6months over and i think i'll have to stop the contract and finish it my self, there is a section in the contract to do so! we have had three building supervisers Ravi wont come anywhere me and the building manager hasn't got the balls to return my call SO DON'T GO ANYWHERE NEAR THESE JOKERS !
Well add me to the growing list 135 days over contract,
I wouldn't reccomend this mob to built a dog kennel because your dog would be left out in the cold !
Next step a head to head with this Ravi a$@ehole I bet you his house wasn't built by Formula Clowns !
I have had the same problem.. I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND FORMULA HOMES to anyone who's building a new home. They are the worse builders I've ever come across. I have friends who have gone with other companies and they haven't had any problems even remotely close to what I'm gong through... It's been over a year since construction started and I still haven't gotten the house yet. Firstly they screwed up my plans and I had to change the whole design just when I was about to sign the contracts. And this took another few weeks to get finalised. From the start they kept stuffing things up and i had to make changes while the construction was going on and with no compensation for the time that was extended. Then they put wrong items instead of the ones in the actual contract. And half way through they said I can't have certain things that were already in the contract. And I didn't even get any compensation for that. Building a house should be an exciting process, but building it with Formula Homes has been an absolute nightmare.. it was the worse decision I have ever made in my life. Please, if anyone comes across this, pass it on.. Never choose Formula Homes as your builder.. You'll regret it for the rest of your life...
