We have a bit of a Mexican stand-off between the bank (cba) and PD. The builder says they won't proceed to construction drawings unless the finance is sorted. The bank is saying they won't approve finance without council stamped drawings. How did others overcome this? Re: Porter Davis homes 9617May 06, 2014 9:06 pm Louise88 The delay was due to problems with my demolition contractor stringing us out. Eventually had to fire him and change to a new one. More to follow later... We also sacked our Demolisher last week after 8 weeks of failed promises.

I'm building the Sandarah 45 in a S.E Suburb of Melbourne (@ Jackula - I think we have the same site supervisor and we're building about 2 suburbs away from you). Is it Kris? We didn't like him at the start but he turned out to be a decent bloke to work with Yes, it is Kris. I agree, he seems like a decent bloke. We've had a generally good experience so far. He usually returns phone calls the same day (which is a big difference compared to our building co-ordinator!)

More to follow later... We also sacked our Demolisher last week after 8 weeks of failed promises. We had a hugely frustrating experience with the initial demolisher we had decided to go with. He kept advising us that he'd be ready to start the following week, about 6 weeks later we had enough. And unfortunately by that time it was the latter half of December so with the shut down over the Christmas/New year period, it was about 2nd week of January before the new demolition contractor was able to do the job.
