We built a house and we had a FANTASTIC experience!!
My suggestion would be to drive around the area and look at homes that are being built - more often than not there will be a builders sign out the front. We used a local builder and found that we were more of a priority for him - the bigger companies often have LOTS of houses on the books and getting an answer for something can take days. We also found that most larger companies charged a premium for the "brand".
My advice - GO LOCAL!!! You will save heaps and get a much more personalised service.
Not quite the same - we had an extension built. We used a small local company. I got quotes from big firms, as well as smaller firms. The company we used, had the lowest quote, (and had more in it), the builder has some great ideas and was happy to tell us what would or would not work. Our extension was built in under a month. With no hassles at all.
I agree - go local - and the biggest is not always the best.
