Re: Porter Davis homes 7859Aug 15, 2013 10:45 am MummaDJ We have a great BC and SS. I would be very careful about having a thread as mentioned above. Just remember your legal stuff. Also, at the end of the day, if you have a problem, then you should be speaking to their management or send Helen on here a PM. Agree with this Re: Porter Davis homes 7860Aug 15, 2013 11:38 am Jackula ajd78 Quote: Also, anyone who is have a building inspector - highly recommend Houspect. We have got them for the 5 stages. They did slab and highlighted a few minor issues but I guess that would overcome the potential prob relating to wrong plans - picking them up at a very early stage! We were quoted by Building Expert but haven't commited to anything yet, been hearing good things about them too. Why were there 5 stages for you? I thought there were 4 stages only - pre-slab, frame, pre-plaster and final? Hi Jackula. We have been very impressed with Houspect - with the contact we have had. They are very approachable and very organised. They knew when the slab was to be poured before us! We chose to do the five stages because I wanted someone independent - on my side and I am the sort of person who is very anal and could easily spend 50hr on the weekend with a tape measure making sure plumbing, doors and windows were in the right place. SOOOO, to take the stress off me, we hired them. I want to "try" and enjoy this building experience.. hehe.. You can do all or some or one of their 5 stages but for the $2k (or just under) we are paying for the service, we think it is a good investment given the amount we are spending... Their five stages are; 1) Slab down/base 2) Framework (walls and roof frames) 3) Lock-up (Roof covering, external walls, doors) 4) Fit out/Fixing 5) Practical Completion Hope this helps.... Wow that is terrible about the insurance! I guess ideally proof of insurance should be provided prior to first deposit but I'd imagine they would refuse to be out of… 17 14215 There isn't any need to.
