I think that's one of those "how long is a piece of string" questions. PD presumably want to build it as quickly as possible so as to get paid and move onto the next job, but there are always going to be delays for a bunch of different reasons. Even the amount of time given in your contract can stretch out, they just have to pay a penalty (probably $250 a week) if they do.

How many days did they allow in your contract?

As standard the galley comes with no cabinetry or bench tops, just melamine shelves. Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 592Oct 04, 2017 8:18 am Yep...I should have stated that this is the upgrade cost - so you need cat 1 there in the first place. The galley is going to cost us a bit to fit out...will be worth it though Building Vancouver 33 - My Thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=89689 Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 593Oct 04, 2017 8:20 am It will be worth it, we almost just went with Cat 1 in the galley but at last minute I changed it to match the kitchen. The colourtech cabinetry is an expensive upgrade if you decide to go for that I can give you an idea of the pricing for that too. Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 594Oct 04, 2017 8:45 am Yeah I think it will be worth it too We are thinking of doing the island bench in colour tech and the rest of the kitchen in Riven finish if the colours work together. We love the cat 4 Lagoon but will fall back to Lyra if funds arent enough.

Cavity sliding doors were only $330 or so for us though going from memory, we put them in for the ensuite, study, lounge/hallway and lounge/rumpus rooms.

Cavity sliding doors were only $330 or so for us though going from memory, we put them in for the ensuite, study, lounge/hallway and lounge/rumpus rooms. We raised our ceiling height as well, so all our doors are more expensive as they all need to be taller otherwise it would look funny - not something I thought of when we wanted the higher ceiling.
