If not how have you found the temperature of the house? TIA Re: Problems building with Porter Davis 16May 31, 2016 8:43 am sian.wickham Quick PD question, did anyone add extra heating/cooling outlets? If not how have you found the temperature of the house? Yes, we have about 11 total in our 2 storey home. The house won't get warmer or cooler faster with more outlets. We only wish we added more thermostats. Re: Problems building with Porter Davis 18Jun 08, 2016 6:20 am The problems with PD continue. Almost six months into my build they emailed me to say that I need to choose all new bench tops because their supplier is not making them any more. They expect me to rush into World of Style to select the new bench tops otherwise it will delay the building work and this will be considered my fault... I probably wouldn't be so upset about this situation if their staff were the least bit apologetic. They're not, they are rude and completely unhelpful. Re: Problems building with Porter Davis 19Jun 08, 2016 9:25 am Sorry to hear this Joelpi. That sucks. Did you have your heart set on those bench tops? Speaking from experience many of the coordinators are young and often have not been through the building process themselves. And so they don't appreciate how something like this can be devastating. This translates into a lack of empathy and flippant attitude. You just need to keep reminding them of how things like this impact you and to show a bit more understanding. Failing that, go over them until you get someone who will help. Re: Problems building with Porter Davis 20Jun 13, 2016 10:30 am I tried speaking with my building coordinator's manager. I was shocked by how rude and unhelpful this lady was. I then tried calling the manager's manager. Despite making multiple phone calls and leaving voicemail he never bothered to get back to me. I eventually heard back from a different manager who at least sounded conciliatory. Nevertheless, PD should have notified me of the change in suppliers of countertops back in February (when it happened), not in June. The building coordinators (I've had two) both dropped the ball and now my house completion date will be delayed. Based on my experience, all I can say is that PD should be avoided at all cost. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12337 I am not a brick expert, but rendering would be 1 option, it would be costly to do the entire house though.... 2 6678 Hi all, has anyone been ask to do the weeds in their property while in the middle of build?
