If so he is trying to go above and beyond to get a client the tiles they wanted... The other option is a big no no and looks like someone at Porter Davis needs to update their training on Data Security! I wish. I just heard back from a supervisor from the new homes team... they had a list of who had that particular tile that they handed over... apparently someone from head office was supposed to call but instead the tiler got the list. All I got was an apology and "he didn't mean to upset you". I don't think I'm convinced that's sufficient. Even if it was someone from head office who called... I don't think they should be calling around past clients scrounging their spares! And if they've done it to me, who else have they done this to? Who else was on that list that the tiler has access to? I don't care that he's a long term employee, this is freaking me out.

I can see PD calling you up to try and keep another customer happy, it'd be nice if they offered some sort of incentive to sweeten the deal even if it's just a cheap Bunnings voucher. I think it's pushing the envelope a bit but I can see where they are coming from. Handing over the list to an external counterparty is different though. That's definitely a breach of privacy, especially given it's a full list rather than just one person's name and phone number. Building a Kew 28 with Porter Davis Re: Porter Davis homes 16244Feb 02, 2018 1:59 pm Some good news here, we had a chat with our BC earlier in the week and we should have PCI in early March and hopefully be moved in by late March! It's actually been a pretty smooth process so far but we will be very glad when it's all done! Building a Kew 28 with Porter Davis Re: Porter Davis homes 16245Feb 02, 2018 2:00 pm Exactly. If PD had contacted me I'd have been a bit grumpy but our build got held up four weeks right before PCI because they ran out of benchtops & we had to change supplier & choose a new option (it was a long story forever recorded in the annals of this thread! haha). If they'd gone through proper channels I probably would have been OK with it because hell, I feel sorry for the person who's being mucked around by PD - been there done that. The tiler himself calling & saying he'll be around in half an hour is a different matter though Building a Porter Davis Livingstone 23 in Mayfield, Cranbourne East | Our thread 18/05/15 - Contract Signed 24/12/15 - Land Settlement 30/1/16 - Slab poured 9/06/16 - Handover Re: Porter Davis homes 16246Feb 02, 2018 2:05 pm thewoodies inexp_user I hope he was the tiler on your job in 2016 and he keeps his records of jobs in a filing cabinet at home!

The majority of people are honest, good people. I am sure the tiler won't come snooping around your house trying to break in for a tile. The list probably just had your build address and your contact number which we give to the local Blockbuster store (OMG is that showing my age??). I can see why they are looking for a tile. I can imagine if I had chosen a specific tile at WOS and they got to the end of my job and they were missing one tile I'd be asking them to ask around rather than me choosing another tile and them pulling all my tiles off the wall re-waterproofing and retiling with the new tile choice. Having said that I hope after this incident PD review their processes to ensure the information is not given to a trade next time!

Me personally, I wouldn't have an issue at all, and would happily hand over a spare tile if it meant helping someone else out. Perhaps the person at PD had the same attitude and overlooked the other side of coin.

Did you end up getting it finished, or has it been rescheduled? The site supervisor got a colleague to drop off a second iPad and he was going to stay back and do it again. We left and asked him to email us a copy of the list tonight. Hopefully between us we remember everything that we originally pointed out.

I was talking to a friend who is a builder and he said he has used a toilet on site because the builder has already removed the portaloo. I guess they need to be able to relieve themselves at their place of work but there is no excuse not to flush!! Porter Davis shouldn't remove the Portaloo until all trades have completed. I wonder if they will ask you how you know there was a gift left in the toilet? Technically you are not allowed on site without prior organisation and PD representation.
