My hubby and I are building a house in Mt Colah, mad I know! We chose Wisdom as our builder for their designs, their flexibility, their reputation for being fair on upgrades and credits, etc. So far we've only had a couple of hiccups but I am sure it can only get better. I am sure that our emotional rollercoaster has only just started even though we've been in this process with Wisdom since early Nov 08
