We're still here. We have had a hideous time with finance, so are still trying to get all that sorted. PD are ready to go which is good, but frustrating! Aaagh! So as soon as we can get this nightmare of a bank happening, we can start immediately!
my time here on this forum from now on in will be extremely limited if none at all.
I thank those who helped us during our build. Good Luck with your build into the future. Keep a eye on your build, make sure everything is completed prior to handover. PD are a good company, the processes that support certain area's def need work.
Concentrate on your relationships with the BC and SS. Be up front, open, honest and communicate. Dont wait for them to ring, you do the ringing.

Hi humble,
It will be so sad to see you leave, I know the last couple of months weren’t as smooth as they could’ve been however I really appreciate your honest feedback here and have forward it onto the PD office.
I hope you drop in on the forum every now and then to say hello and give updates on how your home is coming along and to help those who are about to go through the journey you’ve been through since you all that knowledge and experience now.
Good luck! Ebony

Just had an issue resolved by our SS and BC
May i ask what sytle home you are building.
We were initially asked to upgrade to transluscent windows because we were building a double storey.
After consulting the council, they said that the Overlooking Requirements is not applicable for us since there's no property behind and beside our property. We've raised this with our SS and BC (error was made during planning stage). After heaps of email exchanges and calls, we're very happy to share that they have addressed our issue.
Here's what we've learned from this experience:
1. do not hesitate to raise an issue, after all, you're spending hundreds of thousands of dollars for the property
2. do lots of research, backup your claim with facts
3. be reasonable and courteous, ensure that your complaint is valid.
4. use PD's 24x7 portal to ensure that every communication is documented (we noticed that they respond faster via 24x7)
At this point, we're really happy with our SS and BC. So far, they're doing their best to deliver our dream house.

How long does it take from frame to lock up and from lock up to fixing???
I know fixing is the longest stage

I know fixing is the longest stage
I know fixing is the longest stage
Not sure about others who have built a davenport, but for me building a Rowland ( or Marina) it was
Week 7ish frame complete
Week 14ish lockup
Week 35 fixing
So frame to lockup took 7 Weeks
Lockup to fixing took 21 Weeks
Week 44 and still no PCI and no approximate completion date....
44 weeks this sounds extremely long .. You are talking about 308 days in the time the average is 200
Have u tried to call the SS or BC or contact ebony from this website ???

[quote="sssfamily"]Hi All,
Can someone pls refer a handyman to install toilet holders and towel rail in Keysborough area...We have built a PD house and as this is our first home we don’t dare to do ourselves
Hey the SSSFamz
We've been in for about a month now.
I was very hesitant about touching the walls, but we had the most dreadful toilet roll holds that they had to come out immediately (and to think I fought for them saying they were on the plans - yuck). In our 2 storey house I installed 8 floating shelves, put the dryer on the wall above the WM and installed 3 toilet roll holders. I've had wallpaper installed on 6 walls and some glass artwork too. Now it feels like my house, not a PD newbie, so i say go for it...
PS 4 privacy locks to install next... I forgot to include them at the Hopetoun session..

Oh, how frustrating! I hope things get moving for you soon.

I'll be updating the blog in the next couple of days with what we saw this weekend. The roof is complete and bricklaying is going well, one wall is complete and the rest is probably 75% done. Plumbers have added pipes, and we have a hole for a bath to go in
As I was wandering through on Saturday another couple came on to the site; they are building the Drysdale just around the corner from us, so I got to wax lyrical about how the Drysdale is the best house ever designed

Hi JLD,
Yes, the weather forecast isn’t look too great so I’m praying the raining stays away for you and your rendering gets finished. Good luck with your PCI Monday, let us know how it goes. Cheers, Ebony
