Prices were not made available to us at the colour or tile appointments, which I find a little disturbing (a lot disturbing after I found out what the upgrades have costed). The little things all add up (to alot ) and our tile appointment was very disappointing as we knew the prices of the tiles we wanted (priced at National tiles which I showed to our tile consultant) and we got charged alot more, and the reason apparently is because "that the retail price" which makes no sense to me. PD I would assume would get a volume discount and would offer a rebate on the standard tiles that we didn't use due to upgrading. Judging by our tile invoice there is no such thing as a rebate and we are still reeling from it. I know you have to pay for upgrades but our experience was nothing short of a blatant rip off. Makes me wonder if PD and National Tiles are owned by the same people really.... They'd better do a bloody good job....

We did receive an email the other day (not very often getting a phone call) saying that they *may* be able to bring our site start forward to November. In saying that we are still waiting on our variation which we have been waiting for for about 3 weeks I think, and i'm wondering if they're just trying to butter us up (and shut us up ). I guess i'll never really know My building thread : viewtopic.php?f=31&t=36059 Paid initial deposit 24/7/10 Tender appointment 20/8/2010 Flooring and tile appointment 25/9/10 Colour and Electrical appointment 13/9/10 December site start delayed Site start (YAY!) 17/1/11 Slab pour 1/2/2011 6 7967 Thank you so much for the effort.
