Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Porter Davis homes 7112Apr 15, 2013 7:38 pm ftdt7882 Jackula It's so hard to decide which company to build with, if PD's Spring Stimulus was still on then it would be a no brainer. Just on this point, I found that the base house prices were dearer when the spring stimulus was on. The house we are building was 210k (base price), less the $32k promotion = $178k. The base price for the same house today is $181k. Unfortunately I only have the Lifestyle pricing from the Spring Stimulus. I did have the old price lists bookmarked on my phone but they've all been updated with the new price lists so I can't give you any info on the house you were looking at. I've updated the Porter Davis upgrades and costs to include the spring stimulus base prices from late last year. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=54817&p=1005310#p1005310 Re: Porter Davis homes 7113Apr 15, 2013 7:56 pm I've updated the Porter Davis upgrades and costs to include the spring stimulus base prices from late last year. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=54817&p=1005310#p1005310[/quote] Thanks for adding the Spring Stimulus prices. I've just had a look at the price we were quoted now compared it to then and it is almost identical in price once we deduct the $32K from the Spring Stimulus base price. Just goes to show that 'nothing is for nothing'. Re: Porter Davis homes 7115Apr 15, 2013 9:48 pm tinker Mikey_Harrison tinker Hi Does anyone know the price for a 2340 mm x 1080 mm INF 5 VG Corinthian door. I was charged about $1,100 with translucent glass. No cashback for the unused pmad104... Mike Hi mike thanks. Was it for the same size above? Or the standard size? Hi That was 820mm x 2440mm. Sorry, I didn't have my plans when I responded earlier. CD used to have prices online... shame these are not available now (or at least I cant find them...) You door will be huge... Send me a PM if you go for it ! Thanks Mike Re: Porter Davis homes 7116Apr 16, 2013 8:47 pm Also just noticed the current house prices are almost identical with the so called spring stimulus reduction of $50,000 for lifestyle double storey!!!! Would like an explanation from Porter Davis on their so called spring stimulus reduction in house prices what a joke!! Did you had to drop the prices of your houses due to a drop in sales and the housing market prices, banks just wouldn't value the houses in at the price you where charging.

That is longer than a pregnancy! Re: Porter Davis homes 7118Apr 17, 2013 12:24 pm MummaDJ Very excited that we now have our start date - next Monday 22nd April! Yippee, the next step in our long journey...308 days build time. That is longer than a pregnancy! Good luck MummDJ... We were about 300 also but came in at 275 days... Just don't aim to be in my Xmas... Assume you wont and aim for Jan. Everyone gets stressed about being in by Xmas, but you're disorganised, you may not have you your nice deliveries, and it's too chaotic. Who needs that ?

Enjoy Mike Thanks Mikey Yes, my DH wanted to be in by Xmas, but I just say, lets aim for Jan/Feb and if it is earlier, then fabo, otherwise he will just get stressed out!! I would rather a good build than a rushed one full of errors! Re: Porter Davis homes 7120Apr 17, 2013 12:43 pm Quick question for those who had to wait for their land to title... Was PD able to provide you with a house siting based on engineering plans? Our current house siting is based on the way the land is now. We asked to view a house siting based on engineering plans purely because we wanted to see what our house would look like on the block we purchased (providing the developers do what they say they will do), but were told no and that it is not something PD do, we need to wait until our land titles and wait for the second soil and survey. I just wanted to see if anyone else had it done? I know other builders provide house sitings based on engineering plans. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12672 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 75374 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
