I think when you get your final contract this will be reduced, 19.5k in Allura is high i guess our sales rep added 14k as a allowance for our site cost. Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis 147Oct 15, 2014 12:35 am sorry i forgot what reason they gave us abhie,they are goin to conduct another soil test again and reimburse if they need to which is a bit unclear to us since we really dont have any idea becoz this is our first build!

Hi All, Thing to remember is that we are not all building the same spec house, we are all having different options, rumpus, grand rumpus and so on. Also other factors such as the soil type and is there a cut and fill required all these will impact the site costs. Therefore we cannot compare the site costs unless its apples for apples.

I thought these were meant to be colour bond?? Re: Building Bermuda 23 with Porter Davis 156Oct 15, 2014 6:31 pm emily05 Question......my builder is telling me that our gutters are going to be painted. I thought these were meant to be colour bond?? Hi emily, It is not colour bond, only colour will be matched as per colour bond. Colour bond gutters are an upgrade. They are zinc aluminium, I chose to go with zinc gutters. Did a lot of research both options have positives and negatives. In the end used my money for other options.

I thought these were meant to be colour bond?? Hi hash_nanny, Long time no see. Hope you are enjoying your new home. Did not see any new pic updates on your build blog. Please post some more pictures of your house, inside and outside if it is ok. How do you find the family room space and kitchen space, does the open plan feel like more space ?

I thought it was someone's build. Anyway, we are using Darbecca. I cannot comment on their performance yet as we are yet to start building but their initial service has been great! Other options we considered are: - Building Expert - New Home Inspections Cheers Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 13793 I do enjoy the drama:-D In his latest two videos he has started bringing security guards to site, I am waiting for the punch on to begin lol 6 46219 |
