Some intereting comment made about the building process through PD. We are looking to build PD's Davenport 29 and as i'm new to the building scene does anyone have any useful tips? things to consider/look out for? What to do and not to do? We're also looking into 'Ducted Air Con'. Does anyone have any suggestions for suppliers etc...?? Hi Jezz, Best thing to remember is any volume builders out there are the same, some are slightly better than others but most of them have too many projects than they can handle. You have to be on top of everything, make sure you know what they are doing & double check everything against your contract & drawings. Make sure you use independent inspector for peace of mind & don't let them push you. Read the contract & make sure you understand every single clause. Do not assume anything, ask for clarification if you are in doubt. Don't worry about the negative comments in the forums, most people who post in the forums have bad experiences, those who don't have bad experiences don't normally post in the forums. We didn't get any ducted air con for ours, we got evaporative cooling, so can't help you there. __________________________________________ Built Camberwell 29 with PD - Hand Over was on 22/12/10 http://ssazcamberwell29.blogspot.com/ Re: Porter Davis homes 1380Mar 14, 2011 2:32 pm inverell Victoria_g06 Yes, I asked for a copy of their inspections but was told I couldn't have it because I wouldn't understand it. When I met my SS he pointed out drawings on the wall indicating things that needed to be fixed, I did notice they were fixed but how many things are left due to discretion? They all have targets to meet and somethings are going to get left .. I will be getting a final inspection done just for my piece of mind, I really don't like the way my bricks are looking, and my SS said the brickie was "the best". I'm not so sure. Clients are entitled to all material documents relating to their build, including independent surveyor’s reports. It is amazing how quickly my builder furnished me with all manner of requested documents when I refused to make a progress payment. Hi Inverell, Can I ask who did you build with and what kind of documents did they release to you. I was wondering if PD will release all the documents for our appliances with the warranty cards etc.. Just by any chance are you in the reflections estate? tks pup Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12340 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74709 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
