My husband and I are building the Montague 21 in Altona North. We just had our World of style appointment and I thought I'd start a blog so I can keep updates as reading blogs helped me allot in preparing for things so far (also being a school teacher I'm on holidays now with nothing better to do lol) an if any of my rambling can help out someone then why not. I'd really appreciate any feedback, never built a house before and never wrote a blog before. I'm really scared about the building process and really looking forward to the last tender to know exactly how much it will cost to build on our land. http://buildingmontague21.blogspot.com.au/ Re: Porter Davis homes 13779Dec 21, 2016 12:07 pm Naama Hi everyone!

We have negoiated with PD and all we are getting in our kitchen is a sink and cabinet underneath. this will allow us to do the kitchen post hand. we are able to get our dream kitchen incl 2 pac cabinetry through out and Calcutta marble for half the price WOS quoted us Re: Porter Davis homes 13780Dec 21, 2016 12:18 pm dc_1985 Naama Hi everyone!

Our stone upgrades cost $2.5k approx however we are extremely happy with out kitchen. Lucky for you you were able to negotiate. Our tiles just went in and our kitchen is starting to really take shape. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 14039 I would never build with Fowler homes.
