One of the worst builders you can build with. No time frame with building, quality is very poor…read more The communication is very poor. They do not reply to emails, neither to phone calls. After handover they do not want to take responsibility to correct all the defects. They do not have any site supervisor who actively checks on all the things happening. I don't know how they still have their license. They are very unresponsible. I would strongly recommend people not to go with Bramwell to build. You will lose peace of mind and time with them.

If any of this is familiar to you and Bramwell/Cornerstone has done this or similar to you, please…read morecontact me as I have been in contact with legal council email me at bramwellcase @ gmail.com Signed a fix priced duplex house and land after consulting with Effie and Cameron from Cornerstone Wealth Management who has "access" to builder and land not listed for sale blah blah. Cornerstone is just the sales agents For Bramwell homes and will tell you whatever you want to hear, dont believe a word they say. We signed for the fixed house and land package in August/September '21 and told with out any hesitation we would be complete and have tenants in buy end of January '22. When we asked Effie and Cameron directly, clearly and without any room for misinterpretation what happens if the site needs piering, hit rock, needs cut or file due to the lay of the land etc what happens, without any hesitation we were told and i quote "it's the builders' problem not yours, it's a fixed price house and land package" this was confirmed at least twice. They told us Bramwell build in the area, Tamworth, and know the land and would only purchase land they know they can build on without problems. Awesome sounds great, they offered to do our taxes, manage our finances, have our main house and the investment paid off in 8 years, signed contracts and never heard from Effie or Cameron again, zero follow up, zero contact whatsoever. Chasing Effie and Cameron about the build from about November as we had heard zero about start date, or council application etc, got ignored, then when finally contact another member of cornerstone got given Bramwells Client Manager, Tricia. Chased Tricia up from then on, ask simple direct questions via email, e.g. has the building application been put into council, only to be given generic run around answers. after 6 or 7 emails with the same generic response and zero actual answers, Tricia never got on the phone once or even had the balls to answer my calls leaving the reception to make excuses. then get a call from another member of Bramwell, James who is the new client relations manager, this is in late December. Still zero application filed with council, and we were promised a finish date by end Jan '22. James offered a generic apology, made excuses that we were never going to be complete by end Jan '22 and blamed Cornerstone for saying that, Remember Cornerstone is Bramwells sales agents, and they work all together in the same office so they know what each other is doing. Again still chasing 6 months later to be finally told the block is in bushfire zone, but they are are playing with the design to make it work, ok why not tell us this 8 months ago seeing you claim to know the land and the build, zero response just generic blame game. Finally get Bramwells managing director, as well as Effie and 2 others on the phone in June '22. Clearly asked what the hold up is and why we have been told nothing, to get a generic apology as per usual. Ask what the story is as we were supposed to be complete 6 months ago at this stage and yet the building application hasnt even been put to council, to be finally be given the actual answer. The block not only is in a fire zone -- rating unknown, the block now is at a bad gradient which now requires the slab being piered, the duplex design now to be split level, more surverying needs to be done etc etc, and it will take another 18 months ooh yeah and another minimum of $350k!!!!. Remember this is a block Bramwell/Cornerstone knew and sold for the house and land package, and it's fixed price dont forget. Effie from cornerstone, when ask straight out, this is a fixed priced package you sold us, how is this our problem? didnt even answer the question just blatantly ignored it and talking about something else and gave excuses ask to why she never contacted us again even after numerous emails. If a builder puts this in their building contract, do not go anywhere near them, and i quote from the last page "The owners shall not make, in any shape, form or manner, an announcement, blog, public statement or article for publication in relation to or connected with the builder or the work under this contract without the builder's prior written consent" Lucky for me Bramwell void the contract so i can post the truth. contact me if this has happened to you bramwellcase @ gmail. com

Easy Fall Guttering

We were hopeful that the Easy-Fall System would solve our overflowing and blocking gutter issues…read moreand it appears to have done both! We had a problem with the previous gutters backing up and overflowing through the eaves in places during heavy rains. Whilst we haven't had heavy rain yet, the moderate rain is flowing nicely through the gutters and through to stormwater. We also have significant leaf problems through trees in the park next door and the leaf guards are working very well with little leaf build-up. Additionally, Paul and Marty have been excellent with customer service and follow-up through the process. The guttering was delivered within the timeframe specified and the installers did a very good job. The finished look complements the house nicely and I would highly recommend the company and system.

Mr Budget

I had 2 areas of carpet which were in bad need of repair before selling my property. One was a red…read moreink stain which had been made worse in my attempt to repair; and the other where it appears water had come in and rotted the carpet down to the bare fabric. Mr Budget suggested I use carpet from the inbuilt wardrobes, and went about his work. I have to confess I did not think that both areas could be repaired. The first one was the rotten carpet - quite a large section. You can not see the repair! It is quite amazing. The second one which I agreed on due to the success of the first, has made the carpet look almost new. I am absolutely delighted (and no I am not related in any way to the owner of this business). I have also written an email to the owner of the business and would be happy to talk to any prospective customers who may have the same concerns as I did going into the repairs. Recommended!

I contacted Geotech Built for a quote, out of apparently good reviews. However the experience was…read moreso bad that I decide to take the unusal step to white this review. On Tuesday I contacted John and he said there would be $360 for the come out and ininital inspection. The invoice was not received on Wednesday so I called him on Thursday to chase up. He eventually sent the invoice at the end of the day and I paid for it. I am serious about the inspection and I am not after free lunch. I also double confirmed with him that he would come between 12 and 2pm as I have other schedule afterwards. On Friday 12:40 he texted me saying stuck with work and 1 hr away, asking if still ok. I called back and found out it was impossible for him to make it even I waited till 2:30pm. He offered to come "first thing tomorrow". I agreed. On Saturday, instead of 9am he promised, he texted at 8:50 saying 10am. Yet at 10:15 still no sign of him. I rang him and literally asked where he was. To my surprise he took a huge deal of if and blamed me to be rude. I pointed out that it was even more rude and unacceptable to be late for the appointment, twice in a row, and when the customer paid $360 for it. He then became defensive and used excuses such as family issue, "we are not machine" blah blah blah. He clearly doesn't care that the customer also has family, and has wasted time simply because he didn't show up. If a business constantly doesn't keep their time promise is bad enough to avoid dealing with, then combined with a terrible attitude is worth alerting others.

*REVIEW UPDATED 26/08/2021*…read more Since posting this review Brendan contacted us on 25/08/2021. He came back and completed the roofing work on 26/08/2021, at the scheduled time. He accepted responsibility for the delay, explained how he had injured his back, and informed us that he had implemented new document/customer management systems which would improve his professionalism. Our details are now in the system and we are under 7-year warranty. He also issued us with an itemised invoice and a note that it had been fully paid. We are just relieved to have our roof fixed and hopefully our insurance claim can now be finalised. I am leaving a modified version of this review here for future reference. *** In April we hired Brendan to complete maintenance work on our roof which was requested by our insurer. Specifically we asked Brendan to complete three (3) tasks. When he came, he suggested pressure cleaning our roof before doing the maintenance work. After completing the pressure clean, Brendan said everything looked fine and he would come back after the next heavy rain to make sure there were no further leakages. There were indeed more leakages. Our insurer inspected the roof and said that the 3 tasks hadn't been completed, so they couldn't finalise our insurance claim. Over the next 3 months (from April to July) we contacted Brendan almost every week, but he either didn't show up or gave us a reason why he couldn't come. We were sympathetic to his reasons but as the situation dragged on, it became extremely stressful for us. After another no-show on 17/07/2021, we gave up contacting Brendan and sought other avenues of redress. On 13/08/2021 I submitted the previous version of this review. In response to my review Brendan has been in contact and completed the work (see above).

My special thanks to Brad for his expertise and professionalism, as both my house and my parents house are now restored to its former glory. Brad's excellent workmanship is a true reflection of his passion for his trade. To top it all, his excellent customer service has made it so easy and very pleasing to deal with him. He turned up on time, every time as promised. I have no hesitations in recommending Brad and would definitely be calling him again for my future renovations.

I got a quote, price was OK (average) and booked in to come in today (17/11/2015). He turned up and but refused to do the job because there was some furniture in the room and walked out. The furniture could be removed out of the room in less than 15 minutes (or less). Not professional and would not trust him.
