Hi strawberry_swing, I understand you have some questions regarding PD's price guarantee. I am sorry you feel frustrated about this not being explained clearly to you. Airly has offered some great insights here & is correct in saying the sales consultant is your main point of contact during the sale process and during the time you pay the initial deposit. You are then contacted by a PD staff member and appointed a Customer Service Administrator (CSA) who will take over from the sales consultant to answer your questions and guide you through the Tender process. However, until you're assigned a CSA, all questions should still be referred back to your Sales Consultant for the time being. If you have deposited before xmas then you have locked in the pre-xmas price. My best advice is to call your sales consultant and organise an appointment to discuss this in detail. They'll be able to answer your questions and provide you with up to date advice. If you have any difficulties contacting your Sales Consultant, then please Private Message me your full name, lot address and phone number and I'll organise them to get in contact with you & help you out.

I am looking for something like Gnu Tan or perhaps slightly darker than that but i'm getting nothing here. Does anyone know if PD will allow other colours from their Dulux range if it's not stated here? Re: Porter Davis homes 897Jan 27, 2011 8:33 pm Hi SoniaPD, We have just had our colour appointment with PD and were told we could select any Dulux colour for our render. We were also told the same on a weekend visit to Hopetoun. Maybe you could go on the weekend and ask the staff, if it's the same for Lifestyle, which it probably is. Regards Re: Porter Davis homes 898Jan 27, 2011 10:39 pm Thanks so much Mimi, this PD booklet for render only had 80 paint options and did not state that i could use any Dulux colour as render, that's fantastic news. Re: Porter Davis homes 899Jan 28, 2011 1:17 am Well we laid down our $1k deposit on Atrium 36 in Dec and have spent some quality time at Hopetoun checking things out. It is a stunning house in our view and we were really keen to get things moving. However I was very disappointed today and am really wondering if this is worth proceeding with.. (please forgive me if this mentioned before but could not read all pages)..... After reading on PD website that they dont let you off site with unsigned tender documents as it can slow down the process, we asked for a copy to be emailed so we could be prepared.. lol now its actually 'Company Policy'.. not speed.. As we dont know what it is we cant be sure of why we cant see it.. now that rings bells in my world.. if there is no risk what is the issue? After reading the positives and negatives on this board I am really at a loss.. Can anyone enlighten us on the 'secret business' that occurs at Tender? Re: Porter Davis homes 900Jan 28, 2011 5:10 am No secrets. I was emailed a PDF of tender. The bestvway to approach it was to load up every option you want and eliminate the items at tender you don't want. Eg. I had tiles and floorboards priced. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12920 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 76041 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
