Porter Davis homes

Went into hopetoun today to have a look around, get a browse, it appears a lot of the colour selections we want are in standard ranges for the prestige so yay!

Now to go back to some of the displays to see them in real life...

We were the same Fortunate for us huh?? We didn't spend a great deal at all on upgrades as we had what they called the "Platinum Promotion" at the time which gave us heaps of upgrades at really good prices.

Our tile selection only came in at $1198 extra on top of standard

Yay Humble! Get those creative juices flowing!

It was the same for us. We had quite a few different combo's with the Cat 1 tiles before deciding with our final choice. Also because our colour palette is pretty earthy it fit right in We tweeked the standard with feature tiles and splashed out a bit more on our master ensuite (because this is the main bathroom that is going to be used until the kidlets come along) and the splashback in the powder room. I think our tile upgrade came in just under $1500. I was so in love with the metallic deck tile and i wanted them to be a real feature of our bathroom.

Can't wait to see pics MelNRob!

Oooo.... Have you got a pic of the metallic deck tile?? Sounds great!

I'm a complete dunce when it comes to this! Mon what should i be looking out for with the sand exactly? we have an off white mortar selection.

We have off white mortar and this is the sand we had

Our mortar is truly off white

I love love love this tile! here's an example of the tile in a bathroom



We have the metallic deck as our splashback and it is also on the bath hob and in the ensuite. We've kept the floor tile the same as the rest of the house, Kimberley stone internal.

Thanks B1!

General question for all those PD'ers out there as it's the weekend and can only talk to CSC tomorrow. Should the windows (awning/sliding) windows have locks on them or was this an upgradeable item? Our windows went in yesterday and had a squizz today and noticed there were not locks. For some reason i thought it was just as standard feature. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Cheers, M

DH is just looking at our contract now, can't see anything about window locks

I have the 'Complete Promo' and locks are included for all opening windows and fly screen aswell.

Optional extra for mine.

Extra for us as well... but we forgot. Add them as we go.

Thanks for the quick responses guys!

We too have the complete promo. i know on the flyer in the fine print it only states the flyscreens being included (excl louvre and bifold) but for some reason i thought they were included. I seem to think i saw them on display at Hopetoun (although i could be wrong) so didn't think further about it.

Otherwise, i'll have to visit bunnings and do the old dowel stick trick for the time being

Cheers,

We had our electric appointment a few days ago and were informed that we are no longer allowed to have down lights in the house because of a new legislation. Is this true ?

has this legislation affected people who have finished electrical appointment but are yet to start their construction ?


Cheers,

J & C

Hi J & C,

No down lights at all, that’s odd!!

We had our electrical over a week ago now we didn’t get any down lights so cant help you there sorry but we were told we couldn’t have as many flood lights as we wanted because there would be too many watts which will make our house not a 5 star house so we took one off and replaced with a junction box in instead (If we put one in later its ok). I think if you pay your $1000 deposit after May then all PD houses are now 6star homes so this may affect it, but I am only guessing!
