Your curtains overall but especially in the theatre room look good. Do you mind sharing where you sourced it from and how much it cost? 05 Apr 2018 10 Junior Member Re: Bristol (44sq) - Porter Davis Melbourne - New Build 147Apr 05, 2018 4:53 pm Hi, we are planning to build Bristol too. Can u remember how much u paid to upgrade to colorblind roof tiles? We are tossing between Carlis lo e ane PD. Now but nervous after seeing the number of defects u had during frame stage. 30 Mar 2016 231 VIC Bronze Member Re: Bristol (44sq) - Porter Davis Melbourne - New Build 148Apr 05, 2018 6:20 pm  CathzHi, we are planning to build Bristol too.

Hi Cathz, Colorbond was a promotional inclusion ‘valued’ at $7K, but that also included a Hebel upgrade as well, so can’t really say how much it would have cost us just for the Colorbond. Every builder has issues...it’s really a luck of the draw in terms of a capable site supervisor you get, so my advise would be to go with the builder you feel most comfortable with and with whom you are getting the best value... 05 Apr 2018 10 Junior Member Re: Bristol (44sq) - Porter Davis Melbourne - New Build 149Apr 05, 2018 6:24 pm sinbox CathzHi, we are planning to build Bristol too.

Thanks Sinbox. Currently Bristol base price is $406k. And the promotion does not have the upgrades u have. But like u have mentioned we love the design of the house. Were u able to have a look at the display when it was opened? I would love to see the same house but unfortunately our sales consultant said they do not have any other displays. I saw from ur earlier posts that it took time to start, but after the build started how long did they take to complete? 30 Mar 2016 231 VIC Bronze Member Re: Bristol (44sq) - Porter Davis Melbourne - New Build 150Apr 06, 2018 1:05 am Cathz sinboxHi, we are planning to build Bristol too.

That’s almost a 70K increase in less than 2 years...they are ripping people off... We were able to visit the Taylor’s lake display a couple Of years back. We have been in construction since April 2017...and yet awaiting handover.... 30 Mar 2016 231 VIC Bronze Member Re: Bristol (44sq) - Porter Davis Melbourne - New Build 152Apr 06, 2018 9:18 am CathzOmg! That's a long time. Yeh they seems to increase prices but currently offering $20k off. Yeah...it took them close to 10 months just to get to construction (from signing the Sales Quote)! Others who have been building the Bristol like Priya above have had better luck and have completed their Bristol in about 10 months...as I said before it all depends on your site supervisor. IMO, The entire building co-ordination team is useless. All but trouble is what I have had with them...I have had to escalate things to their CEO to get things moving at times... 30 Mar 2016 231 VIC Bronze Member Re: Bristol (44sq) - Porter Davis Melbourne - New Build 154Apr 06, 2018 9:24 am CathzAhhha that's scary. Now thinking perhaps we should stick with Carlisle as it's not only u there are lots of other ppl who have said the same thing. Pity as we loved the Bristol and inclusions are better than Carlisle. We are building in inner Melbourne- Carlisle were not ready to build in our area for some lame reason. The only other project builder I could find to do a design similar to the Bristol was Arden homes. They backed out for a lame reason too... 03 Jul 2016 1,232 VIC Gold Member Re: Bristol (44sq) - Porter Davis Melbourne - New Build 156Apr 06, 2018 12:20 pm sinbox priya2015omg really.....just cant believe it....lol its such an extraordinary co-incidence....no we did it post handover ....we got a quote for it from PD and they were charging a lot.....our neighbour who is an electrician did it at a very reasonable price......will wait for your final photos...these lights are awesum....stunning.....and it suits the bristol void perfectly......i get a lot of compliments on those lights You would not believe if I said there are other coincidences- esp with some of the furniture we already have at home...
