It was so disappointing and not sure if PD will have any excuses not to paying the late penalty!!!~
i remeber them sayign that there was a a difference in start8ing date actually refers to site start dates... does this help?
Just gave my $1000 deposit to PD, however I am now feeling unsure going ahead with them as most of the comments/blogs I have read about PD aren't very encouraging.
Anyone here had been happy with PD so far?
Thanks.

Lots of people Qas.... remember that only the unhappy usually speak up. Consider them the miserable minority.
For what it's worth, building a house is awful, no matter which builder you choose. The only good thing about it is getting to the end.
Start a building thread and keep us posted - you'll find lots of support here.
Building is stressful, but the end product is worth it. You just have to be prepared to fight when you need to but also be excited and enjoy and learn from the experience
I'm glad to have found this forum, i browse a lot but not post much, well not yet..
This is our first build and have very limited knowledge of the building process, still heaps of learning to do.
PD was awarded Most Professional Builder this year so they must be doing something right?
I will be posting more and will definitely be seeking comments as the build starts.

More to the point, there are many people on this forum who've had good experiences and the really miserable experiences are in the minority.
Putting my moderator hat on, I have to point out that this forum isn't a venue for airing grievances - there are plenty of avenues open for pursuing real problems with builders, but bagging a company on the internet isn't the best way to go. There's a pretty clear warning about the dangers of defamation here.
Some of the posts in this thread are pushing the limits and I just wanted to draw that to everyone's attention.
Qas, I look forward to following your progress. Do start up a thread of your own - and be sure to add photos.
I have been reading Homeone for a little while and it has woken me up to a few things to look out for
Hoping for a good build here
10 months after moving in they finally turned up yesterday to fix some chips in the front render
We still have a few basins that won't drain the water quickly so the pipes are obviously blocked (PD are aware of this) and a paint mark on the carpet was removed but it's ruined the pile so I am going to hit them up for a whole room of new carpet. This will be address at the 12 mth maintenance appt in August and if necessary the word VCAT will be mentioned.
But despite this, I still love my Illoura
it's how your builder deals with them that is the test of a real quality builder i believe. JMHO
I have read so many negative things about so many builders. But have decided Its the house plan that we love & will make the final decision.

Any comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We recently built with PD, we had inspections at all major stages.
Good luck with your build.
May I ask if that's something you arranged yourself, or did you liaise with PD? Any suggestions on who to use?
Cheers.
We built with PD and had no issues with getting our own Inspector several times throughout the build. It was definitely worth it and everything was addressed and fixed by PD with no hassle. We received the written report from the inspector the night of the inspection.
PD have been great to deal with. Sure some issues arise but they will with any builder. PD have been great with all of our concerns and addressed them all to our satisfaction. Best to be reasonable and you will get things fixed.
Good luck with build. You'll have good times and bad but the good far outweigh in the end.
Thanks for that.

PD had no issue with it, I always let my CSC know via email and the SS via text for what time was arranged. Details of who we used is on our blog (link below)
In fact our SS was eager to get the last report quickly so many of the issues had been addressed before our PCI. I totally agree with oze there will be issues but it is how they are dealt with that matters and as far as our build went PD have been great.
Anyone else building the Cayman?

Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk.
