Thanks in advance. were doing our own carpet and floor boards post hand over. carpet approx 7k engineered oak floors approx $120 - $130 per sqm incl installation Re: Porter Davis homes 14255Feb 23, 2017 2:43 pm Does anyone roughly know the credit PD give you for removing the flooring? We will be building the Marriott Grange in QLD which is equivalent to the Waldorf Grange in Vic. We will consider getting the flooring done post handover if there's decent savings to be had, however if the difference in price is only a couple of thousand, then we will just get it done through PD.

If it's a couple of thousand different I would go with your builder for sure. It more work to do it after handover and it doesn't look as good because of the skirting board or the beading around the cabinets. We had to do it post handover because our builder won't do solid hardwood anymore. Re: Porter Davis homes 14257Feb 23, 2017 3:25 pm Yes PD will give you a credit for the flooring, However it is a cost price credit so not a huge amount. Re: Porter Davis homes 14258Feb 23, 2017 3:45 pm Oh Liz what a joke, so sorry! So we thought about engaging Porter Davis stylist company PD studios... for the living room, alfresco and hallway...gave her a 20K budget (1 sofa, 2 armchairs, 2 pendants, a coffee table, side table, outdoor setting & a few pieces of inexpensive art work, some cushions-that's it!) She came back to us saying it would be 30-38K to source that, and take her 30 hours so 5K. I almost fell over. She had said she could work to any budget. Uh double is not any budget. And 30 hours? Shouldn't she know all the places anyway? So obviously NOT going with her as lovely as she is. But in the same position as before. So madly looking at Hampton style on Pinterest, found a few things within 30 minutes while watching paw patrol with my toddler so I think she's taking the mickey saying 30 hours ;( In good news framing has started! So excited! Father in law sent some photos, aren't great quality but I thought I'd share. In the meantime anyone who can recommend a great furniture company to us would be MUCH appreciated.

I was quoted a credit of -8500 for carpet and bolero laminate of a 46sqm home I really want to do it with the builder but the SC wouldnt even give me a bamboo/timber flooring quote as he reckons it will be too expensive. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12333 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74701 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
