Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Porter Davis homes 9663May 14, 2014 4:25 pm Hi all, Could someone shed some lights on the following upgrade? 1. Cost of installing 450mm eaves to the whole house excluding front facade & alfresco (we have these eaves as we upgrade the facade and alfresco option) 2. Cost of upgrading the roof insulation from R2.5 to R4.0 and upgrading sisalation in external wall to R2.5?

I've just looked at some of our quotes from last year and eaves around the sides and back of the house were around $1900. Our house is 29 squares. Don't have any info on the insulation sorry.

So yours is 450mm or 600mm eaves? Re: Porter Davis homes 9666May 14, 2014 4:39 pm bermuda23 So yours is 450mm or 600mm eaves? That was for 450mm. But we scrapped them in the end as we preferred the look of the brickwork above the windows and they don't put brickwork above windows if you have eaves (i.e. windows sit right underneath the eaves).

Got out first one tonight and it's our old ( non variant ) amount? Just so happens all the discount they promised wasn't in our contract so they had to put it in a variation instead but seems they have forgotten this at our invoice? Re: Porter Davis homes 9670May 14, 2014 11:50 pm Hi Joshcunno I was told any variation or discount will come off your last invoice. Just make sure you have the signed post variation contract as a statement of proof.

Just make sure you have the signed post variation contract as a statement of proof. Yes, that's correct - PCV Credits or Discounts will come off the last invoice (we got our last invoice last week). Re: Porter Davis homes 9672May 15, 2014 9:05 am We requested for our post contract variation amount (around $5k) to be taken off the Fixing stage invoice and that's what they have done. I thought the last Invoice was too small of an amount to be taken off of. Re: Porter Davis homes 9674May 15, 2014 1:39 pm I got the PCI date next Thursday with SS, is that means that's the day I should go with my independent inspector?

You probably need to organise with your SS and/or BC and make sure they know you are using an independent inspector, because I believe the regular PCI process changes when you have an inspector come through.
