We upgraded to off white mortar it cost just over $1000 for Windsor 47. Be careful because it is light grey and not off white as you may expect. We were not happy with our mortar

We are due for our pre completion inspection on Friday. Does anyone have a checklist we can use to make sure we cover off everything. Or some advise on what we should be checking. We are building the Porter Davis Windsor 47

We have our pre completion inspection on Friday. We don't want to miss anything. Does anyone have a checklist or can offer some advise of the items that we should be checking as we go through. Also there are a lot of nail heads showing in our skirtings and architraves, are we within our rights to ex...

Just be really careful when you pay for white mortar. We did this with PD and our mortar is grey. White it PD language means light grey.

We had a meeting with PD onsite on Monday and they still say the bricks are OK. They have agreed to fix all our other problems, and have offered to render the house. It is not really what we want but have no real alternative but to accept it as we really want the house finished. Our major concern is...

Just a query....you are building the windsor - a PD prestige home, which only use austral bricks. Just curious as to how you got to use a boral brick? We, and quite a few others have found it impossible to get PD to allow a different companies bricks from that specified for the range of homes. Good...
Good question. It is because our first choice brick was deleted and the the replacement was not able to be supplied by ...

No they haven't suggested any solution. Practically we would need to look at that as an option but we really didn't want a rendered house. The house is almost finished, and I'm sure replacing the bricks would be a nightmare.

We have spoken to every one up to the state manager and no one acknowledged there is anything wrong with the bricks. We have lodged a complaint with consumer affairs and hope we will get some resolution to our problem. So disappointing when the house is almost finished

We are building the Windsor 47 with PD, and having no end of troubles. Our major problem is that our bricks have pitted and chipped when they have been washed. Has anyone else had problems with Boral Vaniila bricks pitting and chipping when washed. The picutire below shows what has happened. Neither...

We are building with PD and the cost of the tile upgrades was significant. As an example we put mosiac tiles in the niches in our bathrooms, on average the upgrade was $160 per niche. Our extra tiles cost over $9000. The workmanship has not been great. Check every detail of your order because ours w...
