We signed the initial contract with Weeks in late 2015 and moved into the house in November 2017.
Pros:
Most of the basic inclusions are of a good standard (I would reconsider next time things like the range hood that sounds like a tank rolling through from installation)
The process up to initial signing is good, helpful and expedient.
The steel frame is good (was not given the in-frame insulation option unfortunately)
Cons:
Once deposit is paid things slow down significantly
Although I had several delays triggered by local council (light regional – worst council I have ever dealt with) the length of each delay was 90% attributed to Weeks Groups time to process change or respond (My motto for them was “months not Weeks”). Even when they made a minor mistake on the final plan (which took some time to draw up I small change to please council) it took a month to redo.
Found that what is on the plan is not what is cut out for your block, in a sloped block they will basically cut a hole just big enough to build a house in and only services at the minimum depth. When you cut the rest of the block as per plan, services such as water, phone, electricity and gas are exposed. If you go with them get your own contractor to cut the block and plan it with them ahead.
Site was a mess all through, and care was not taken with materials delivered to sit and sitting on nature strip for weeks before installed.
Had various site managers, final one had slab sanded as he recognised poor standard finish, this was evident on back patio which will have to be tiled.
Communication is extremely poor, unless you call them and follow up they will not contact you. Most contact initiated by Weeks was related to or to ask for money.
Selections is very fragmented, unless you live in the CBD it will mean many trips in to Adelaide to see several different suppliers then a final visit to weeks for final selection.
At hand over, several things that were not done or needed fixing here is a few none were done at the non-existent 3 months maintenance:
- External clean not done due to weather, took 7 months to get it done, first attempt after 6 months was just to take stickers off windows.
- A toilet roll holder that was not attached to a stud was just sat back in place for the inspection, I ended up fixing it myself.
- Poor finish on plaster work, when fixed 6 months later I think more damage was done by the handy man bringing in and taking out his equipment.
- Lumps of excess concrete on back patio
- Range hood was installed defective, but my problem to sort under manufacturer warranty
They under estimated the dirt to be excavated from original plan and forgot to add in the extra from a 0.5 m lower slab. In total the estimated 160 ton ended up being over 600 ton, which was a significant extra expense.
Finish to most things is adequate but nothing special.
Would I build with Weeks Group again, no I really think I would not.
Would I recommend Weeks Group, no. I did early in the process and regret it as he was delayed starting even after everything was approved.
If you do use them, please contact them until it borders on harassment otherwise you will wait for ever, go into deep detail on exactly what needs to be done, employ an expert to oversee the process.

Approximate cost: $235000

My family have been going to grange road for many years and have always found them to be excellent in service attitude and quality of doctors. Like most doctors there is often a wait to get in, some people must think their doctor sits there all year just waiting for them alone; when the situation has warranted grange road have been great getting us in to see our doctor.

Great specials, top quality meat at fantastic prices and they are happy to cut whole rump etc staff are friendly and helpful

I bought a second hand car from here and was very satisfied with the deal the service and the after sales service, would definatly recommend

Had to go through a claim recently after an idiot hit our car, NRMA were amazing from the first call until the job was done, they made sure we were looked after before during and after the repairs.

Rewards central is as its says....rewarding, fun surveys, web clicks and competitions, also handy money from all this! there is also a great forum for chatting about anything.

You have to try this site its fun, informative, profitable and opens your eyes to a whole new perspective on how we buy and decide on things, a nice bit of pocket money.
