*From the first business day it was received
If you’re not satisfied with how your complaint is being handled, you have the option to take it a step further by using our dispute resolution service.
Should you feel you require this service, please contact the aftersales team, providing details as to why you’re escalating the issue.
We call escalated complaints ‘disputes’. Once we receive your dispute, our aftersales team will inform the relevant Department Head who will oversee the resolution process.
Within 5 calendar days, you’ll receive an acknowledgement of your dispute, along with an estimate of how long it will take to investigate the concerns raised.
Our goal is to resolve all disputes within 28 days from acknowledgement.
In the event that the resolution offered by the Department Head is not to your satisfaction, you may ask for it to be further escalated to the Managing Director, who will review the complaint in accordance with the above timescales.
Our internal policies and procedures are designed to ensure that our customers reach agreeable resolutions – this is our top priority.
If your concern isn’t addressed to your satisfaction, you can approach Build-Zone, your warranty provider.
Build-Zone can mediate discussions between us or use their own Alternative Dispute Resolution Service (ADRS) if necessary.
Should you decide to make a formal complaint to Build-Zone, you can follow the steps in their Homebuyer’s Guide.
