Thanks in advance. We didn't. We were asked for 2 things: - A letter from the bank confirming that the loan had been unconditionally approved (with loan number, our names and the amount available). - An ACC form (Authority to Commence Construction), which was a pro-forma, completed by the bank (their details, key contact, loan amount, loan number) and counter-signed by us. As part of all the loan paperwork, we also got a schedule of payments, which showed who the interested parties were, how much we had already contributed and how much each progress payment would be (based on the %'ages in the contract). We weren;t asked to supply this, but gave it to them anyway as it was a good summary. Thanks Rups, I just got off the phone with my bank manager and he said it is unusual for a builder to request the copy of the signed loan contract as it details how much we borrowed and interest we're paying etc... My bank manager said it's none of their business and as long as they have received the notification from the bank that the loan has been approved this is all they need for them to start building. UPDATE: I just rang HIA and they put me on to Consumer Affairs. I explained the situation to Consumer Affairs (domestic building dept) and the gentlement read the HIA Contract clause "Essential Information" out to me and told me that they don't need the copy of our signed Loan Document Contract and the formal approval they received from the bank is sufficient for them to start building. He also said if PD keep pushing for these documents for me to go to the next stage and make a formal complaint.

I’m highly disappointed due to the time that it takes to handover the house. Now it has been taken 6 weeks after the PCI & still the house is not ready to be settled. All the defects which were there would have been fixed in maximum of 3 weeks, but it has been taken a longer time & tired of waiting. Whenever I called the supervisor he keeps on telling me that the house would be ready by next week, but this “next week” have not yet come to us... Sounds like we are going to have a second PCI & the date has not been announced.. Has anyone else face to a similar situation.

Hi Roshi, I am sorry to hear you are having difficulties communicating with your SS and that handover has been delayed. I understand your frustration and want to help you. I will have someone from PD office follow up with your Site Supervisor. I appreciate your patience. Please keep me in the loop with your progress. Regards, Ebony Porter Davis Homes Questions?

Here is the story...I bought land in melbourne west which is already titled. I have signed the contract with PD on 20th June. The CSR called me a week later and said they have to apply for building permit because I chose higher ceilings and my garage was too close to the boundary (or something like that), which would cost $650. Has anyone had this? My second question is how long would it take to get the building permits? Its been nearly 2 months since i've signed the contract and more than a month I've settled my land and waiting for the building permit. When I contact PD for a timeframe, they have been saying next few days for a month now. I am sitting ducks and paying the interest on the land which is not an ideal situation. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!! Re: Porter Davis homes 2820Aug 08, 2011 2:41 pm Team PD Roshi Waiting Waiting Waiting !!!!!
