That obviously didn't happen. My estimate is that we will start around July. Thanks all did you start in July??? Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 311Aug 03, 2017 4:44 pm Hi Liz, Sgene hasn't started yet either but I think he is close. How long did it take you from planning permit approval to site start? Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 312Aug 14, 2017 4:39 pm We ended up going for the option of applying for a dispensation. We are .6% over the building envelope. PD phoned our council who said it should be approved without issues. Fingers crossed it comes back approved asap.. When we receive approval, then surveyor will need to review again then issue building permit. Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 314Aug 14, 2017 4:50 pm Fingers crossed you get it approved quickly, call the council yourself and find out the name of the person looking after it and speak to them directly. Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 316Aug 14, 2017 5:15 pm I wish I had your patience. I'd have called them Friday Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 317Aug 15, 2017 4:37 pm nikil Hi Liz, Sgene hasn't started yet either but I think he is close. How long did it take you from planning permit approval to site start? ummm a few weeks i think. we got transferred to construction then had to wait till we got a call from the slab guy.. more waiting Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 318Aug 15, 2017 5:09 pm I just love waiting... When you had your fireplace installed after handover, was it a simple process? Did they damage the plaster or anything? Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 319Aug 15, 2017 5:30 pm Nikki haha. I called council today. They received the application today! grrr. They said ours is a pretty straight forward application because its a new estate and no existing neighbours.. They hope to approve dispensation within the next 1-2 weeks. It better be this week. Ooh a fireplace! I'd love a fireplace in our lounge room. Is it expensive? Re: We are building VANCOUVER 33 with PORTER DAVIS 320Aug 15, 2017 6:00 pm Sgene85 Nikki haha. I called council today.

We are planning to do one post handover as our PD sales consultant said it will be much cheaper as PD charge way to much to do it! Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12344 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 110573 |
