I requested the bank to issue a cheque for my settlement in the next few days. We we confirmed when we would receive the chq, were told by CBA that the payment has already been made to PD. I am really upset that they have paid PD before my final inspection - not giving me an opportunity to query and ask them to fix things not up to standard. PD has even declined to reimburse me. Has anyone have experienced this? Any suggestions/advise would be appreciated. cheers Re: Porter Davis homes 1174Feb 21, 2011 4:35 pm Colour and Electrical went without a hitch and we are so happy with our choices, i suppose I should start a Blog soon but haven't got time at the moment. A big thankyou to Melissa (Electrical) and Amanda (Colours) at Hopetoun, you made the day enjoyable and hassle free. Thank god we did our research first though, i couldn't imagine trying to make all those decisions on the day. Re: Porter Davis homes 1175Feb 21, 2011 7:39 pm We had a walk through inspection with our SS on Friday and we were told that a water mark on our timber bi fold doors, told on Friday that sugar soap would get it out and today we went and had a look and well well well that water mark is now darker than ever !!!

That phone call was Tuesday the first of Feb. Not heard anything and didn't get his name. I don't have anything on next weekend so happy to go sit outside the displays with my sign if that will help speed the process? Hi Lauren, Thank you for message. I'm sorry that the appropriate action has not been taken and will follow up with this issue with the relevant staff at PD. They'll be in contact with you soon to discuss these issues with you. Thank you for your patience.

Re: Porter Davis homes 1178Feb 21, 2011 8:04 pm ![]() Miss Piggy, just a thought. Why dont you ask to speak to someone senior at AAMI and explain your situation. They should be able to indicate whether or not your claim will be & the amount and expedite it given that you have so much riding on it. There should be service standards and if they do not respond within a certain period the Ombudsman is fantastic. Been there done that with great results. Thanks for the info, we spoke to them today and they have sent the stuff we have paid out of our own pocket through to claims, we will call them on Thursday to see what they say they will pay pack, the other items that we have not replaced ourselves have been tested etc and we are waiting on that stuff to be approved for replacement once the guys who test the stuff gets the reports in but the bummer part is that we already had to let go the block we wanted and had on hold, as we need the deposit for it already due to them going to contract early, we are still hoping it will still be there when we do get the money back but have put it in our minds that we will just have to wait till the next stage ![]() Hopefully on Thursday we are told we can get our cash back and the block is still there ![]() Re: Porter Davis homes 1179Feb 21, 2011 9:30 pm Our Corinthian front door doesnt seem to meet the door frame and our door doesnt close against the frame. . The back of the door sits flush against the frame but the front of the door there is a gap of around 5-10mm away from the frame. My SS is saying that this is normal, however I dont agree. It appears that the door isnt as thick as its suppose to be or either the frame is too big. I have been told that a lot of houses have this. Has anyone else have the same experience? Is it normal or should I be asking more questions Re: Porter Davis homes 1180Feb 22, 2011 6:55 am Can anyone give me the details of the gas ducted heating unit that PD is installing in their Lifestyle homes? I've been told it's a Brivis but that's all I know. We're still debating whether we lock in with PD this week before the price rise so I'm trying to sort out some of my outstanding issues. Another one is whether to use Heble. Has anyone done this? Hi there! Putting the feelers out there for those who have (or almost) built with Arli homes!
