Porter Davis homes

Can someone please let me know, if the land outside the house is flattened and free of debris at handover.

hang in there.

Mines the same, bricks look fine.

Hi Rups,

Congratulations on your baby Girl, she is gorgeous
I had a look at your blog and must admit your house looks awesome. I love your choice of furniture, lights and all the other smaller details that make your home beautiful and warm. You've done well
Also, if I can please have the contact details of your electrician that did all the post handover work for you, it would be much appreciated. It is very hard now days to find a trustworthy and reliable electrician.
Thank you and all the best for the future

Rups your house looks amazing!! I love the styling too; it looks so chic, but still comfortable! And congratulations on your bundle of joy. They certainly do change your life and complete the "home"! Thanks for sharing

Hi Mitroff, I've sent you a PM with his details.

Hey
I asked SS to clean up the site at PCI as there were broken broken wall tiles, and such everywhere. I still ended up with a few bags of rubbish and some scaffolding which was kindly deposited at the nearest PD site. Although they did leave me (as my request) the last pallet of bricks.

As for levelling, once the site scrap is done and slab poured, nothing else will happen with the levels. That'll be your issue to resolve:-( However, if you have any landscaping packages, they might if you follow up with their landscaping contractors early.

Thanks
Mikey

we've had our final inspections and have been informed that are floors were not leveled before tiling and also a window is not on level. Has anyone been in a similar situation...how was it resolved.

Our frames have started to go up!! Refer to blog for more details!
Its amazing how fast PD is working on our site! Sorry for all those who haven't made progress on your building, maybe our tradies are heading over to yours sometime next week!

Well, our independent supervisor had a look at our slab after its been poured and he's said that all is level and the slab was within tolerable range. Im wonder what this range is, anyone have any ideas?

Also, I've noticed that some of the outlet pipes or down pipe usually have a tape over it. Im worried that some of them may have been broken off or damaged during the build. What is it gets clogged up during the whole building process? I've read on the forum that some people are finding that AFTER they've moved into the house, their toilets get clogged, and their showers are not working etc.
Any suggestions how I can prevent this from happening, or rather, should I get someone to go check on the pipes now?!

Finally, with the solar hot water panels. We have ours drawn on the drawings facing the Western sun.
From some research I believe the system should be facing a Northern sun preferably. Would the solar panel guys coming out know what to do or will they just mount it to whatever specs the drawings have done?!

Hi guys, I was also hoping you may pass on your electricians details?

Been in our house for 9 months, had hotwater system stolen overnight..

wtf..

Hi Lisjac, I've sent you a PM

That sucks! Did you have it behind a side gate? Were you able to get it replaced today?

Yup. Behind a gate. Albiet unlocked (not any more)

Yer we did.. $1550 installed (mate is plumber) it was just the gas booster and the ingnitor. Hope the insurance will pay out.

What the?! That's awful, humble!! So sorry to hear that.

hi gabster, we were told by our inderpendent inspector that 6mm was the tolerable range, ours was 10mm out in certain areas. its been a abousolte headache trying to get it straight before they laid the tiles. Thankgod we have a good s/s and he was not prepared to lay tiles down until it was right.

hi guys well got news this week that our PCI is on the 8th october. so looking forward to all happening now, lets hope it all goes well. Update blog also....

Blog updated with this week's progress. Mostly tiles

your have had bad luck... hope insurance pay it out for you

Looking good ma! Your place looks to have come along in leaps and bounds since your last update, although I guess that's the difference that something like tiles can make! You can really see the finished product coming together.
