The 153 days that they advise in the start build letter is construction days which doesn't include weekends or public holidays which takes us to an end date of the 12th of September ... such a big difference. but she advised our best bet is our SS which he has advised end of July/Early August ... so fingers crossed it is end of July so my husband has time to do the electrical and we can do our heating cooling concrete and fence and then while we are away the tiling can happen. oh god after a relaxing hoilday looks like ill be going through the stress of moving in.. was hoping it would be the other way around haha That's also assuming everything goes to plan. We were 8 months behind the contract date by the time we got to handover. Oh no way!! I would literally scream! So far touch wood everything good and no major issues. Why such the long delay? That's just crazy Haha, have you read my blog? Might be worth a read start to end if you're building with Porter Davis. Re: Porter Davis homes 12816May 27, 2016 1:33 pm So after the home theatre room ceiling leaking water a few weeks ago, it was identified that there was a rip in the DPC and last weekend a brickie came out, took some of the brickwork out and inserted new DPC and bricked it all back up again. Yesterday someone else turned up to repair the plaster board in the home theatre and the master bedroom that had been cut out to identify the DPC issue, only when he removed the cut sections of plaster (which had been temporarily held on with tape), it seems that everything is still soaked and that the DPC doesn't seem to have been the issue at all. Plaster has been put back in with tape, Supervisor out to look today and I've now been told they're going to spend most of the day there on Monday with a few different trades to try and work out what the problem is. While I'm glad they're attempting to resolve the issue, I'm annoyed that it's another item to add to a very long list of issues we've had with the house. Will the problems ever stop? Re: Porter Davis homes 12817May 28, 2016 8:27 pm Fireplaces... has anyone had Pd put one in OR had them apply the provisions for one??? Anything to be wary or cautious of? We are off to look at some tomorrow in hope to get some measurements to provide to them as we are getting the provision so we can set up post handover Re: Porter Davis homes 12818May 28, 2016 8:48 pm lizbf85 Fireplaces... has anyone had Pd put one in OR had them apply the provisions for one???

Cheaper way to do so Really. We investigated it with a few places and the costs ended up being much the same if not cheaper and easier with pd as thered b no stuffing around afterwards.

Pd was going to charge them $13k for fireplace they ended up paying $1700 for provisions and then got fireplace installed after and cost them 6k. Def install afterwards Hun Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12432 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74890 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
