I didn't want the house to look dark. It was very hard to picture how it would look from the pictures on the PD website so it was great to find one that was real life. oh sounds like ours! do you remember the actual colour of the render? the only thing we went different was the monument gutters to match the roof. Did you find it at a display? 05 Feb 2016 773 VIC Gold Member Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 64Feb 17, 2017 2:45 pm nikilOurs is light grey render, white windows and front door and white gutters with charcoal roof tiles.

Hopefully we can switch to the Fisher and Paykel appliances. We're going with the Waterside facade. If you go to Austral brick's website you could actually get an idea on what your house could look like. They have a couple of houses to choose from, there's only one with PD which is the Waldorf. But there is another house that looks just like Vancouver with the Waterside (Marcoola by Coral Homes) so luckily for us we were able to visualize as to what our house facade would look like. Here's the link - http://australbricks.com.au/ivisualise/ We're going with a french industrial theme, so our colours are black, greys and reds. I'll try to upload a photo of the design I made from the link. 02 Feb 2017 35 Junior Member Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 67Feb 17, 2017 4:05 pm nikilWe went with the standard seaside facade, I finally found a real life picture of it and now that I have seen it, even though its a different colour to what we picked, I am very pleased with it. Hi Nikil, We are building the Dunedin with Porter Davis and have chosen the Seaside facade also. Are you able to upload a picture of the facade in real life? We have only seen it on a computer so would love it see a actual photo of it! 06 Dec 2016 719 Melbourne Gold Member Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 68Feb 17, 2017 5:40 pm lizbf85 nikilOurs is light grey render, white windows and front door and white gutters with charcoal roof tiles.

I think the render colour we picked is rampart? 06 Dec 2016 719 Melbourne Gold Member We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 69Feb 17, 2017 5:42 pm Danniellejayde nikilWe went with the standard seaside facade, I finally found a real life picture of it and now that I have seen it, even though its a different colour to what we picked, I am very pleased with it.

We originally fell in love with the raked ceiling looking at the Dunedin at Point Cook! I felt the Dunedin was just a bit too small so we decided to go with the Vancouver. We have purchased a price in Kilsyth South, we we settle on in May, so hoping if everything goes smoothly our start date is not too much longer from there. We have decided also to put an additional 2 metres on our garage - hubby is keen for a man cave. We have been at WOS a few times and have also started doing some research on tiles (which appears to be expensive if you upgrade) Ill have a read of your blog!

The process you have done with PD is different to ours! There new process is you do tender first......pay 3%.....then do WOS...then contract Currently Im not a fan of this process as really not going to know full extent of upgrades until contract and then they will charge for variation if I decide to change something....but thats their process so we will ride it out! Really like you colour selections, We are considering doing the Galley post hand over as they charge a fortune for the cabinetry! No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 22321 No, not yet. It’s currently being assessed by our building surveyor 4 19566 With that sort of soil type if you ask for a design to include piers then I would also include void formers. That way you should reduce the chances of settlement and heave. 7 20043 |
