Porter Davis Charlton 33

thank you Build2016.

Hi

I'm building the Charlton 33 it doesn't start til next April but have finished with World Of Styles and have contract signing coming up.

We are also building the Charlton 33, we start next week if the weather stays nice!

All up our Charlton cost about $365k not including flooring, the floorboards we fell in love with at WOS were $30k and we are getting the same floorboards and carpet for $13k through Carpet Call. We found the contract and pricing stage to we horrible compared to our previous build with Carlisle, but it will all be worth it because we know PD buid a quality home and we are in love with the open floor plan.

Feel free to ask me any questions at all!

Good luck

Hi! Did they charge you for additional flooring due to structural variations (we did upgrade to the extended kitchen, grand family and galley and separate WC upstairs)?

Sorry for late reply

Hi firsthomebuilder101,
No we didn't get charged any extra for the flooring because we are not doing them through PD, but no even when we had it in our quote it didn't appear to be more than than the $9990 flooring pack we selected - and we did the same structural upgrades as you.

Hi Charlton33,
Yes I just realised the price for outs was $365k, after we paid the $20k deposit, so we were up around the $385 mark as well.
No we tried to get credit back from PD but they wouldn't do it so we just got a quote from carpet call and submitted it to the bank with our build contract so its included in our home loan. Completely up to you if you want to go, we just found the quality of the laminate floorboard was low compared to the high price they were asking.

Here is a pic of the flooring we decided on, the top pic is a little more orange because of the light in the shop.

Hi Orchis,

Congrats on building the Charlton, it is such a beautiful home!

For us it wasn't as issue with including it the home loan, we just forward the Carpet Call quotes together with the PD contract to the bank and they approved us based on us spending the combined amounts, it was actually pretty easy! The only difficulty we has was actually with PD - as we opted for floor boards and PD refused to install the skirting and so did carpet call so we were looking at having a builder come in between PD and CC to paint and install the skirting. We fought and fought with PD and they have agreed to do and we will just get a quad join from CC. It was one of the many things we argued about with them which contributed to a 3 month delay but I am so happy we did, I love our floorboards and I really disliked all the PD options.

It did not affect National tiles at all, for us we were only left with tiles in the wet areas. Tiles will be installed before we take take the keys but floorboards and carpet will be after handover.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions - I feel like I could work for PD now haha

Good luck!!

Hi there, congrats on deciding on the amazing Charlton

These floors are called Paradoor Trendtime 1 in OAK colour. It is costing us about $13k for these floorboards + category 3 carpet and category 5 underlay (which is the highest cat and it moisture proof, as close to waterproof as underlay can be).. we are only saving about $1000 going through Carpet Call if you pick from their standard range. The floors we liked from PD are displayed the Madison in Sunbury were an extra $25k on top of the $10k flooring promotion

This is our colour inspo pic from the Madison, same floor colour, stair colour, wall colour and skirtings.



Let me know if you have any more questions.

Just checked out the floorplan! It looks great!

We arent building with Porter Davis, but with Henley the final price just seems to keep rising!

Just wondering how everyone's Charlton 33 build is going? We are finally going to start! Temp fence is up. Would be good to share pictures on how to build is progressing.
