Just jumping in this thread, as a excited newbie, who has learned so much thanks to all of your input, so a big thank you! We're upgrading to a bigger home have just put the 1000 deposit on each the house and land. We're going with the Dunedin 29 . We wanted the alfresco, but have been advised we can't, as it would mean the building takes up 63% of the land which can't be done we just can't go past the floor plan of the Dunedin so will do the alfresco after handover. Anyway, just saying hi! Ad look forward to learning more and sharing Hi there! Just wanted to say hello as we are also building the Dunedin 29. We were lucky enough to be able to add the al fresco area. It's a lovely floor plan. We are a little more advanced and hope to have the slab down by the end of May, all going well.

Re: Porter Davis homes 7178Apr 28, 2013 7:29 pm inglewood The changes that we made on contract day were added to a post variation contract - rather than the contract - we thought this was strange since they couldn't print that day anyway so we figured we'd get the whole contract and any post variation contract would be for after that - but maybe I don't know enough about that kind of thing. Should we expect that those changes we made should have been put in the contract? In the mean time we won't sign or initial anything until we've spoken to them. I'll send our BC an email tomorrow after we've gone over the rest of the contract and will be asking for a new contract. Is that fair to ask? It is strange for changes on Contract day be added as Post Contract Variation (PCVs). From my experience, you are better to have as much as you can finalised in your actual contract and have little PCVs. PD are also desperate for you to sign the contract so would normally act pretty quickly to get things into the document. PCVs for us took up to a month to finalise some information after we signed the contract. Re your contract drawings - I suggest writing on the pages directly in red pen or using a highlighter to note things that are incorrect and exactly what you expect them to be. Then there is nothing lost in translation. Goodluck. Re: Porter Davis homes 7179Apr 28, 2013 7:32 pm Mumtomonkeys Hi!
