Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 29, 2009 8:02 am Hi all, We signed up with PD to fix the price on the 23rd of February. We also signed on the 'Fixed Price Guarantee' paper which comes with time slots you'll be covered for. In that paper, If you sign for the period from the 1st of January till the 28th of February, then you'll be covered for the next three months (till the end of June). You'll have to pay $2.5K then after. The question is, does your 'Fixed Price Guarantee' paper cover you for three months (end of June) or six months (end of September) ? Thanks Re: Question to people who are building with PD .. 2Mar 29, 2009 4:29 pm My guess is that you are covered until end of June, then you'll get slugged the extra $2.5k. Did they give you a build month yet? and any reason why you would need longer than June? Blog: http://bluemistkids.blogspot.com "Never be afraid to try something new.

The reason is that my land will settle in June. But how'd you know that I will be covered till June ? Is the fixed price guarantee valid for 3 months only ? Then slashing the $2.5K will start coming in ? Thanks Re: Question to people who are building with PD .. 4Mar 29, 2009 10:15 pm I can't imagine it being until Sept as they only normally give a 3 month slot. We signed in Nov for a Feb start date, our land settled in Jan. The builder delayed us into march but we didn't pay any extra (as not our fault). When we had our tender appt it stated in the contract that our fixed price guarantee was until end of Feb. It sounds like you should clarify this with PD so you don't get any nasty surprises.

You can really use anything you want the main consideration would be how it looks once painted/finished - or the look you want.
