Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 24, 2010 4:31 pm Hi all, We are planning to build the Francis 29 . One of our estate covenants is the requirement for a 22 degree roof pitch. To facilitate this Porter Davis is charging us 1477$ to upgrade from the 20 degree roof pitch which comes with the default Alendale facade. We saw the plan for a Westleigh facade for the Francis, which by default comes with a 22.5 degree pitch. But after inquiring with Porter Davis they say its a typo. Has anyone got any information on this or have been through a similar ordeal?

Unfortunately it is correct that there was a typo on the Westleigh facade. All the facade options available for the Francis have a roof pitch of 20 degrees. Because of your estate covenants, you will need to upgrade your facade to match the 22 degree roof pitch requirement. With your facade options, have a chat to your CSC or even your sales consultant. They'll be able to help you out. I hope this clarifies things for you! Cheers, Jess. Porter Davis Homes Questions?

My concern is not style but to ensure that water comes off the roof as quickly as possible. I have also been led to believe that the lower the pitch the greater the possibility that water will push thru the tiles in strong winds??????????????? Not a criticism of different builders options.
