I have a really horrible experience with Escape Homes. First I signed a contract which they said was standard only to realize later that they had sneaked in a "Special Conditions" page that essentially allows them to do what they want and charge you for it...and of course which are in contradiction to the main contract. I have not for instance heard of a clause in any contract that claims the date of commencement is when they first lay the slab.

They charge me for bringing in an independent inspector and treat that as a variation even though the inspection only points out to issues within the contract, build documents and building code that need to be rectified. Even their site supervisor agrees with the findings of the inspection reports. I am now left with the option of pointing out defects at the handover, which of course is going to be costly and very inconveniencing.
They sale you a turnkey project but put in additional costs that you have to pay within 7 days or else they delay your project by months.
The site supervisor is good and doesn't see why the many hurdles to do an inspection but their office and sales people are sneaky...be very cautious with these guys.
