Porter Davis homes

my situation? touch and go. Should I stay or should I go now...a lot of collective angst reflected here. Not rectified by 10 years of feedback...After being hit with some BV's post contract.I am talking to other builders

No way?! Why wasn't it fixed? What happened?
Very disappointing

Not good to hear about the 'rectification issues'

Most times, the good folk at PD are busy in training classes, so be prepared for a bit of a longish wait...Ask me how I know?

Excuse me for the blasphemy,for raising these questions about the good folks at PD; but can some one help me with answers to the following? Preferably from members on here, who have also experienced the nuances of this Touching, feeling, seeing ? PD rep free to join in, if not in a training class.
I am not a troll, just getting my head unwrapped about this biz.
The usernames are real, as is our contract to build a Hoffman 39.


1.Has anyone been able to talk on the phone to your BC?
Never happens when we call, no call backs either. Wonder if its a company policy for the BC NOT to answer/return calls...
2.How many BV have you faced on an average? AFTER Tender, AFTER contract signing and the whole 9 yards, where an item e.g. which has is awaiting pricing by the 'world of(?limited) Style' , yet you get a demand for a $1500 variation or some such charge.
Am not too glib with the 2 and 3 letter acronyms, and couldnt be arsed about them, so shall stick to some plain jane names if I cant remember them
3.Does your contract come signed US style, in MM/DD/YY format, leading to financial institution asking for correction? yup, you got it-ANOTHER delay, courtesy ,the good folk at PD.
3. On an average , how many times were you told about your 'journey' and 'going to site next week', and each time, the
' going to site' fairy came by and scattered some 'go to hell' dust - yup more delays, "...such and such form was not sent/ signed in proper format..." and more ad goingtositum.
4. Another one- how long does it take to delete a power point from somewhere it was never added on? this was again on a final check,a few weeks before 'going to site'- a Please remember this term, a monumental, life changing event in a PD homeowners lexicon.
5. Never mind the fact that the whole house can be wired up, but a single multicore cable cannot be pulled from point A to B for the security system-Why? because we're not going with the company one.

The clients fault, Jawohl!?

Live it?
More like touchy feeled.
And its not a happy feel either...

We have deleted choco gogo colour for our front door at our WOS appointment but didn't get a sample. Does anyone know of this colour door or have a picture of it?

Amazing news!
Had our pre slab inspection only 4 minor issues that were fixed on the spot! SLAB WILL BE POURED TOMORROW!!
Updated our blog below...

Fantastic!!! Good luck for the pour



Thanks. Will update. We know they were doing work on Friday so will be interesting to see what happened.

I don't think I actually told that story... Got a phone call from a very confused carpenter on Friday afternoon "errrr there's blue spray paint here but I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing???" Well use your imagination! Haha ok so I didn't actually tell him that but I did give him the inspector's phone number. I think it was as confused as the framer was as to why they were calling me!

Anyone else had problems with the location of their LPOD (legal point of discharge)?

My plans show my LPOD close to my boundary fence, but PD have stuck it smack bang in the middle of what was supposed to be a nice large lawn area - over 3m off of the location shown on the signed plans and the stamped building permit.

Wow that's so exciting! How quick did the roof go up?! Glad everything went smooth as so it should since what you have exprieneced so far

The stupid thing is that we would have been freaking out less if the site supervisor had just explained things better. I think they get that now!

Well there wasn't a roof when the inspector was there Thursday afternoon... And now it's done!
