Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 17, 2014 3:34 pm Hi all. I have been searching the net for other people building the new Advantage designs from Porter Davis since we signed with them in November, but I am yet to find anyone so I thought I'd post a thread on it! I am keen to hear about other people's experiences and colours/upgrades etc as an advantage because there is very little info out there at the moment and no display homes to look at! Most blogs I've read are from people building houses much bigger than our 20 squares! Specifically, we are building a Newhaven 20 with the Riva facade and ensuite upgrade. Interested if anyone managed to make any structural changes to their design, even though its discouraged with the Advantage line. We put in a cavity slider between the ensuite and walk-in-wardrobe, and after some phone calls and a bit of pleading they kindly allowed us to change the window in the kitchen to a sliding door! Anyway, if anyone else is building an Advantage, and in particular a Newhaven 20, send me a line because I'd love to follow your build!

Even I am trying to find some information and feedback of someone building this house but I suppose since it's a new series there not much out there. How has your experience been so far? Has the construction of your house begun? Where are you building? Re: Anyone else building a Porter Davis Newhaven 20, Advanta 3Oct 24, 2014 6:32 am Hi Hkhanum Well, when we bought the package last November we were told by our sales consultant that with a site start in June we would be in and settled by this November. As it happens we are now in the last week of October and we haven't even got a water metre! Our BC promised us our file would be 'transferred to construction' by months end. I'm not sure what that means specifically and how long from that point until they start but I am excited anyway. Hoping once things start it will move along quickly. I don't mind longer to save, but once your land has titled and you're paying for the interest on that anyway...Anyway, keeping positive about it. Just excited to have the opportunity to build. Have you guys started yet? Did you do a lot of upgrades with yours? Re: Anyone else building a Porter Davis Newhaven 20, Advanta 4Dec 01, 2014 7:11 pm Hi Dansarah and Hkhanum, We've not long signed up with Porter Davis for the Newhaven 20 too!! We have added the ensuite option and the alfresco and we've made a couple of changes with reconfiguring the kitchen and adding a window to the living room. Not due for WOS or contract until Feb but would love to see and hear about how you're getting on with you're builds! Best of luck!

And have seen their sites unfinished for a long time. 4 24807 |
