We are both building prestige 33 square houses in Saltwater Coast. Our contracts were signed about 2 months apart from each other, us earlier. The strangest difference was the price for the bush fire assessment. Ours is $600 and theirs is $250. Our blocks at most are 800 metres away from each other and are exactly the same size! So what I was wondering is, how much was your bush fire assessment? and, why would the price be different? Hi Rups, Our is $250. We are building in Werribbe's Vineyard Estate and we have a quarter acre. We were told by our PD administrator that usually the suburbs would be cheaper and anyone building in areas prone to bush fires would be dearer. I've driven to Saltwater Coast on a few occassions and it's not a bush fire threat area. I would be taking it up with PD but the fact you have signed the contract they may not reimburse you. But I would be arguing the point because you didn't have anyone to compare the cost until now and you took it in good faith that $600 was the correct price when infact it's not when your neighbour who is 800 mtr away is paying $250 plus puppyso and myself are also paying $250. Get them to justify why you were charged the $600. If they don't give you $350 back, I would be telling them to give you something in exchange for that amount. Door handles, locks, painted feature wall(s), etc..

What are the issues? Would be great to know what actually is wrong? Mel Re: Porter Davis homes 2498Jun 23, 2011 10:57 pm I've posted a number of things in this thread, in one of the other PD threads and in various threads I have started. I just don't have it in me to type it all out again or go looking so that I can link the posts, but the forum might have a search function whereby you can view all of my posts directly, rather than trawling through the forums for them. I just can't do it now I'm sorry, I'm down to my last single shred of patience and can't face it right now Re: Porter Davis homes 2499Jun 23, 2011 11:21 pm Jewelbaby, I understand what you are going through. We also felt like this and really disapointed with our PD experience. We were moved in believing all faults had been rectified only to find more and more faults every day. We have our 3 mths inspection tomorrow and I have pages of lists. Will report back and let you all know how its going Re: Porter Davis homes 2500Jun 24, 2011 1:26 pm Sorry, it's builder bashing time.....(Though I would call it CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM)...............Come on PD GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER . Reading a couple of posts (Jewelbaby's and Lunchtime's) and I know there are many more. It's not acceptable. If it wasn't for people choosing to build with you, PD would not exist as a company. People have paid good money to build their homes with PD and they expect higher standards in building and customer service than what they're getting. Remember, they've hired you to build for them so you actually work for them. People are building HOMES not a HOUSE. For some it's been a great process with minimal complaints, but for others you are destroying their hopes and dreams. All this comes from the top (Management). If the workers can get away with it and cut corners, they will and PD the company will be the ones getting the bad name in the long term. Hence people will stop building with you and you'll be out of business. For me to date PD have been good and looked after us but we haven't began building as yet. Is this where the nightmare begins; after you sign the contract.
