Porter Davis homes

Hi Ebony,
Hope you have been well. I've still trying to get a few items resolved, one from our 3 month inspection, the rest from the 12 month one, and despite several emails to Maintenance have not had any succcess. I would appreciate your help:

1. Lock on powder room still to be fixed. This is still outstanding from our 3 month inspection.
2. The locksmith said that the bifold door is not aligning and needs to be fixed, also a plate from the front door deadlock is missing.
3. Last but not the least, the balcony leaks. I showed this to the supervisor and he said it was the rain coming through. The tradies who visted on a bright sunny day saw the water that had collected and pinpointed the leaks but said they could not fix it. There are streaks down the sides of the bricks and the moisture is clearly visible on the underside of the balcony and they confirmed that this shouldnt occur. These show the water that pools in the balcony leaking through. I think the water shouldnt be pooling in the balcony either as it get stagnant and mossy, this makes it unsafe.
Love the house, these are few niggling things though are still that need to be sorted.
Thanks,
Karen

Is it normal for bricks to develop cracks! we saw some of the bricks on the garage wall have been cracked (thin). Has anyone else encountered the same

We have just signed up to build the Sandarah and I am very excited. Now we have all the fun of making sure we have included everything we want in our house.
I am trying to make myself a budget and trying to get an idea of costs.
Electricals is the one area I have no idea about. I have been looking at everyone's blogs to get an idea. I am trying to understand what the Electrical packs are and what they offer. When I look at other peoples blogs, they talk about Fibre packs. Is it something that we will probably need?

I haven't gotten around to updating the blog after Saturday's visit yet, but it was a bit disappointing. We knew that work had stalled for some reason or other and the completion of the fixing stage was delayed, but it's the first time we've been out and seen hardly any change. Our bulkhead has been installed (still seems strange to me that they would do it after the cornice), and there's lots of circles scribbled on the walls, presumably someone needs to do something in those spots. Architraves are progressing, almost complete, BUT we realised they've used the wrong architraves ! Notified the SS this morning and he thinks it will be fixed by the end of the week and not hold anything up, I guess we'll see.

Our side fence is complete, but our neighbour is complaining that our incomplete gutters are directing water onto his property and he can't have his driveway poured because of it. SS says the rain has delayed the work on the gutters and he doesn't know when they will be completed. I know they're all minor problems really, but it looks like our dream run is over I'm glad we're finally meeting the SS this week.

can you post a pic. Sometimes bricks have hairline cracks and it's perfectly normal.

I've not see you on this site for a while, how is your new house and landscaping progressing.

Hi Guys,

Our PCI inspection is this coming up on 13th of August Cant believe is happening so fast. This is our first building experience, we are very excited and little nervous not knowing what to expect on the day of inspection.
We would appreciate any advise during the inspection day?? such as what should we be long out for?? any comment or suggest would be a great value

Thanks,
