Re: Porter Davis homes 8078Sep 16, 2013 11:38 am inglewood Just wondering what others have experienced in regards to their SS. When should we expect our SS to contact us? Our BC told us last week about site scrape, but we've had no communication from our SS - no idea who it is yet - I've read on here about others having their SS contact them prior to Site scrape and have given them dates of when they expect the slab pour and frame start, etc... Hi inglewood We got our SS (both the site supervisor and slab supervisor) contact details from our BC and called. As we didn't receive any calls we called the SS on day of the site start. Re: Porter Davis homes 8079Sep 16, 2013 11:49 am Team PD ftdt7882 Can anyone clarify if they have had or will have bathroom niches on walls that are external walls? In both of our bathrooms, one wall is internal, the other wall is external. On our plans, PD put the niches on the internal walls and the shower heads on the external walls which meant when you turned the shower on the water would be coming out the door (i.e. towards you!!!). We were told that PD does not do niches on external walls. So we scrapped our niches (really disappointed!) and moved the plumbing back to the internal wall so the water would not come out the shower door. But I've just read this on the PD blog: "Bathroom niches on external walls are available but there are some instances when these can’t be done such as when there is a metre box is within 600mm of the planned niche as we can’t have water near the metre box for safety reasons." And I've just done a search on the forums and found a couple of people that have had niches on the external walls. Helen - can you please clarify this for me? There is so much conflicting information! Thanks Hi ftdt7882, I'm having this looked into for you now. Will have someone get back to you tomorrow. Cheers, Helen just realised i have the same issue. Do we have a verdict? Re: Porter Davis homes 8080Sep 16, 2013 12:31 pm MummaDJ- Wow! I love the look of your house, the exterior in particular is a bit different which I love Tiles look perfect now, the house looks huuuuge without any furniture hehe Inglewood we got a call from the Slab supervisor (not the SS, who takes over from frame to completion) a day or two before the slab pour I think it was.
