No mention of anything about LPOD so I'm assuming that's ok. Yeh i guess we were the same, the initial spoil doesnt say alot, at tender we had a note to say that we 'may' require screw piles so we took that as we would need screw piles haha sure enough. Your building the Vancouver aren't you, sorry i have forgotten. I believe our slab was about $35k and services was about $3 we might have just needed more screw piles becasue ours went up by a few thousand at contract for that reason. yeh the LPOD was a huge issue for us, that's all looked at when they assess it for a rebuild, and found that our pit was too shallow, therefore it took 8 weeks to resolve with council, and engineers to create a fix. costing us $11K WE are just hoping that it all runs smootly today when they complete there work and connect it. Yea I'm sure once we get to contract the screw piles will be in there, I'm just hoping there's no other surprises as we are at the top of our budget now. Yes we're building the Vancouver 33.

Oh i thought that tender reffered to the scre piles already. Id also study the slab plans once u get ur docs because we looked at tender and contract and noticed steel taken from the final plans but no credits.. funny that! We questioned and got a "oh sorry" heres ur credit. U gotta study everything!! Yep thats right Re: Porter Davis homes 14180Feb 08, 2017 8:40 pm We received some pretty disappointing news today. And honestly just expected it based on such a horrible experience so far.... it seems our pci and even handover at this point will be delayed for an unknown time due to a permit for our lpod... We are fed up and i honestly broke down today when i read the email. For months weve been following this up with our ss to ensure it was on track as we knew that if anything this could potentially hold us up like it did before our contract. We continue to get emails saying its been followed up. Clearly no actual action or care was taken just another forwarded email. Pd really are unbelievable!!!! Kdr specialists hahaha please!!! We are hoping like anything this permit was done in the process of getting our lpod through council all those months ago and this is already held... if not they can expect some pretty furious customers. ABSOLUTELY OVER THIS NIGHTMARE!!!! After this is over and if it ever ends its fair to say i would be never ever be recommending PD to a single soul.. it should be illegal to put customers through this amount of stress and hell for 13 months.. . Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 13113 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 76495 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
