I stepped outside and saw that they are cleaning your site. I jumped for joy this Means its only a couple of weeks away.

Looks like that dinner and drinks will be soon So it no longer looks like downtown Bagdad? I didn't mind the state of the site, then again... I didn't have to live with it... (/points at neighbors and people already living in the estate) Building the Rowland with Porter Davis 115Jun 22, 2012 5:08 pm Baha yes a little like Bagdad or bangkok. Looks nice and clean. Can't wait for the render colour and garage door to complete the look. Almost there Re: Building the Rowland with Porter Davis 116Jun 25, 2012 10:34 am Week 42 - pfft! who cares... Not really concerned with how the house is going anymore. I have bigger concerns now. Still no PCI or completion date. 42 weeks on its been way to many times of getting my hopes up about an approximate completion date and having them smashed for me to care anymore. Currently in talks with the bank and real estate to avoid being homeless and organising places for the wife and kids to stay if I cannot sort it out in time (as we wont be able to all stay together atm). Re: Building the Rowland with Porter Davis 117Jun 25, 2012 1:57 pm Hi Zinner, I have silently followed your thread from day one as we are also building with PD in Officer, in fact our homes have quite a similar facade. After reading your last post, I feel near to tears and just wanted to say I'm so so sorry for the unprofessional way you have been treated by PD during your build. I hope you can sort out your living arrangements to stay together during this final stage. I wish there were something I could do for you! Take care, Jacqui Re: Building the Rowland with Porter Davis 118Jun 25, 2012 3:05 pm Zinner, Thats just terrible that this is happening! I hope you are able to arrange something so you and your family can stay together during the last stage of the builder. Like you I signed the $250 liquated damages agreement not knowing i could increase the dollar amount to actually cover living expenses. Thankfully we were staying with my folks and we didnt have to claim this but $250 is an absolute joke. Hang in there and hopefully you will be in your home soon.

The bank have also generously decided to loan us the money (@ 22% + insurance costs every month) to pay for the shortfall between our rent and our penalties ( we wont get paid penalties until the house is finished anyway so we are effectively paying 22% on the whole rent). Its nice to see just how many people there are to... "help"... when your in a sticky situation... ( Bank can see more $$ from us a mile away...). We still have no PCI and no completion date on the house. Just like we have done for the past 18 or so weeks... we hope we might get some sort of commitment to a PCI next week... With the rain predicted I'm not betting on it... I tried contacting the our new BC but the phone just rings out. As there is no PCI date anyway, I'm not to fussed as I don't really have anything to say until we get a PCI date. I just thought it would be nice to talk to our new BC and officially start the communication with her as she has not bothered to contact us yet. I got the feeling that we have been totally forgotten by the PD staff anyway and whats the bet that at our handover (if that day ever comes), our paper work is all messed up or lost. Building the Rowland with Porter Davis 120Jul 02, 2012 3:07 pm Zinner I am sure your Pci is around the corner. Your house is looking completed, garage door is on and your final Render has started. Are you able to ring the project manager (your SS boss ) about all this, we did this and it was to our benefit. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12345 go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 110588 |
