Most of the prices for electrical was from this forum, other upgrades I obtained from others who had already signed their contracts.

One thing which is quite annoying is when we upgraded to wooden windows they were going to put on metal flyscreens We ended up swapping these fly screens from the windows we upgraded (x7) for flyscreens for the stacker door in the rumpus. Doesn't seem like a good deal but its something at least. We now have to get wooden flyscreens for these windows. Has anybody looked into those cavity flyscreens for bifolds?

We're having ours stained (which we paid extra for) but i'm not sure if varnishing is standard (hope it is ) 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 Re: Porter Davis homes 2039Jun 01, 2011 7:47 pm We didn't have to pay for staining for the bifolds, only the windows. That is strange you are being charged for that...we queried if the staining was included in the bifold figure and they said yes. The charge for the window staining did not include varnish....staining alone is very expensive, I would hate to see the charge for varnish. Porter Davis homes 2040Jun 01, 2011 8:10 pm J & C We have just finished all our selections, so we sent an email to our customer service officer requesting PD to price all of our selections/upgrades. We have been informed by our rep that PD does not provide for the prices of upgrades until we have signed our contract. The logic behind this defeats us. How is one expected to give their bank a dollar estimate of the price if PD expects us to wait until we sign the contract. From this blog we go to understand that we have to have our loan formally approved prior to signing our contract. Fortunately for us we were able to get the pricing of most of our upgrades at before our tender so we had a number to build on. We feel PD can benefit much more if they can be more transparent with the pricing as most people might not adopt a conservative approach. Has everyone on this blog been through this or did you manage to get all prices before the contract. Look forward to your responses. Cheers, J & C Hi J & C, The pricing for your selections will be provided at the Contract appointment, but definitely before you sign anything. You can also elect to remove items if they exceed your budget. You can't get formal (aka: unconditional) approval for your loan until you have a signed contract, which has a construction cost along with the specification. As such, there is a Finance clause in the contract. You can get conditional approval prior to the meeting to give you confidence and get the whole process started, but again, nothing formal until you supply the signed contract to the bank. hth Rups Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 14066 I would never build with Fowler homes.
