I recently updated our Waldorf build blog with more posts in the coming days. http://hydeparkwaldorf48.blogspot.com.au/ Hi snail, could you share how much open balustrade costs? I'd like to have balustrades, get rid of the void and the bulkhead next to void as well. Thanks Hey, sorry I missed your post. Our stair case was option 2 and included as a promo item. The balustrade extension in lieu of dwarf wall at the rumpus room was $1045 upgrade. I'm not sure if they can get rid of the void and bulkheads or not. Thanks. Re: Building a Waldorf or Marriot by Porter Davis 8351Jul 08, 2017 5:02 pm Hello Waldorf Lovers, We moved in to our Waldorf 6 months ago, still struggling with layouts and decor for a few things. Would love to get some ideas from those who have managed to conquer 😊 - there is no wall space for a console at entry, would love to know what people have done to decorate the area - Would love to know how people set up the cloak room that works 😊 S&G World of Style - 6/8 and 7/8 Tender Appt. - 09/09/2015 Contract Appt. - 30/09/2015 Re: Building a Waldorf or Marriot by Porter Davis 8352Aug 29, 2017 10:29 pm If anyone is interested, I have recently updated my build blog with a bunch of new posts.

Omg that is just awful! I'm sorry your family has to go through this. Someone's home should be their sanctuary and I completely empathize with you. What has PD offered to do at this stage? If they told you at this late stage that the frame never passed their own independent inspections then you may have grounds to fight this at VCAT as they didn't follow HIA process and have impacted your family living conditions and well being by causing significant delays? Did you have independent inspections as well? To be honest though, their own independent inspections mean absolutely nothing. Our frame PD inspection passed even though the roof was undulating because the entire frame wasn't building properly. Roof was sagging and many many studs were not aligned etc and slab was very uneven. They had to not just fix the problems, some had to be fully replaced. So it's mind boggling that it passes their own inspection. How did you go getting all of the issues rectified? We are currently having the same issue with different colour render. Is your build complete? Our waldorf has taken 11months so far and there is still heaps to fix. I am so sorry to hear you too are going through this. This is all dejavu for me!!! PD did nothing to help or speed up any process no matter our housing arrangement after months of advising wed be in by feb. We too were left in your position. I really hope you get some action asap because at this point you just have no choice. In regards to the pd inspection its a joke. There is no report or photos but a peice of paper that says approved even if its not approved. Take no chances and do not even factor their inspector into ur equation Good luck Re: Building a Waldorf or Marriot by Porter Davis 8356Dec 08, 2017 4:50 am Congratulations!

Re: Building a Waldorf or Marriot by Porter Davis 8359Dec 08, 2017 7:46 am KCR4 Hi can I ask how long the build took? Our build is currently at 380 days 😯 Oh gosh. We are at 262 and I thought that was long. Have they started paying you compensation or will that come through at the end? Our contract deadline is Tuesday so I'm wondering how it works. Re: Building a Waldorf or Marriot by Porter Davis 8360Dec 08, 2017 9:43 am In our contract they have allowed 389 days so no compensation yet!! It is practically completed yet failed certificate of occupancy. Had 14 pages worth of things to fix after our last inspection. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12341 go upvc window frames ensure insulation under colorbond. not just sarking, lighter color roof also not sure if you have seen this viewtopic.php?t=5823 last couple of pages… 4 110572 |
