Porter Davis homes

Hi Rups,

I got it. Thank you so much. Will let you know how we go.

Hi Rups, thank you for those photo's of the bricks, my hubby especially thanks you.... the only brick I could find that I liked was a Daniel Robertson and that of course meant more dollars! The Hawksburn looks good!

Hi Rups,

Thanks again, we went down this morning. Very nice bricks. Great variations. Our contact day is this Thursday, we are still at a loss of what bricks to have because now we are thinking of changing our facade. PD may not allow us to do this, but we will see what happens.

Hi Roshi, we have option 3 too. I cannot remember what we chose, but that's what we got. Most bathrooms have mixers, and its only where the rain showers are so am not too fussed. One thing I noticed was that the promo said 14 combinations, but the showroom had 4 at the max. A bit odd that.
Humble, glad you like your bricks! Phew - was holding my breath for you !!
Papers sent to Consumer Affairs, now to see what happens next!

Anyone can recommend me independent inspector that is good and at reasonable price. If you can't name the company, please PM me. Thanks!

Kevin from New Home Inspections

Thanks, yer we are stoked, just need to confirm PD will make them available for the same (or less price), they should be a cat6 brick.

How much does he charge?

Thanks

Hi T,
There are prices on their website.

I hear Kevin is good. The Building Watchdog - Malcolm Axford is good too - we used him.

Off-Topic - Trade Person recommendation

Hello All,

Can anyone recommend a good carpenter who would be willing to work around the Mornington Peninsula area of Victoria? I need a deck built and am now unable to do it myself, so hence looking for recommendations. Please can you PM me.

Thanks in advance,

Chorlton

I know someone, will pm you with his details. He did a fantastic job with our deck. Will pm you with his details, not sure whether he does your area but no harm asking.

Thanks Karmaz

FYI, I have been informed by Hopetoun that the new (replacement) Austral bricks are not available for selection at the moment...

I had a feeling that this would happen. Big business need time to approve new additions and changes. They probably need to negotiate prices which could take time.

Remember that this isn't PD's fault.

I remember, I also remember that the prestige houses now have less selections then a access property.. Well we go to Contract on the 30th, hopefully they have it sorted by then. We will delay contract signing until a determination has been made.

Okay... so have found my pricing... Bare in mind that the handles I picked were from the deluxe range... abit exxy

no. 4: $30 each
no. 5: $42 each
no. 6: $42.4 each

no. 34: $20.25 each

Also, in my original quotation we were looking at these handles... $12.50 each from the standard range.

Hi All
Its been a while, but yes we have finally moved in = thinking that we had all covered with all the checks and balances, we still have a lot of work to do but loving being here, we are still finding things which arent up to scratch but thats I suppose part and parcel of building, - so for all of you still building, the fun doesnt end once you are in - its just less stressful.

Examples of what you found? (might save some others including me)

Thanks flagstaffIV...appreciate this

Would you be able to tell me the number on handle (ten from bottom in the first picture)...Its nor visible clearly.

If I can get the number I might get the hopetoun / CSC to give me the PD price.

Cheers
