We had our contract signing appointment at the Porter Davis Northern office in Bundoora on Friday afternoon. We met with our Customer Service Co-ordinator who went over all the important points in our contract as well as covering all of the other information that needed to be signed off on by us. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ During the appointment we covered: The Porter Davis contract Promotional items Upgrades and variations and plans to demonstrate these items Porter Davis terms and conditions Specifications 6 star energy report Soil report Insurance details The HIA New Homes Contract: All the legal obligations of each of the parties to the contract (ie Porter Davis & the Client) The terms and conditions to allow construction of a house in an efficient and orderly fashion Once everything had been covered we needed to clarify a few points as well as check a couple of things that we thought were included in our original sales quote that we hadn't covered. At the end of it all we included a couple more cost to our build which were: Fly screens to all opening windows and Doors - $4500 6 Extra Down lights to living area -$900 Once we were satisfied we signed all the documents and paid a 5% deposit. Our Customer Service Co-ordinator will now need to send a copy of our signed contract off to our broker to get our Constructions Loan approved and then we will finally be done with all the admin side of our home and we can get ready for the construction fun!

We are at a similar step to you and are just about to have our appointments for our drysdale 30. Any chance you would be willing to share some quote info with us? We just have not had anyone discuss the glass next to the door with us- was that an extra cost? Also what the cost of caesar stone to the benches was? Any other Upgrades we should consider adding would live you to make suggestions. Cheers! Re: Drysdale 30 by Porter Davis in Wallara Waters, Wallan 20Sep 18, 2011 7:39 pm Hey thebigbuild, Nice choice of house I would be more then happy to give you some help.. thebigbuild Any chance you would be willing to share some quote info with us? We just have not had anyone discuss the glass next to the door with us- was that an extra cost? The side light (Thats what they call the window on the side of your front door) is included. We upgraded the glass though to have Rice paper in it for more privacy. thebigbuild Also what the cost of Caesar stone to the benches was? Any other Upgrades we should consider adding would live you to make suggestions. The Caesar stone to the kitchen bench and the island bench was included in the promotion that we chose (Gourmet Kitchen $5499) We did pay extra to have Caesar Stone in our bathroom ($248) and Ensuit ($451) We are having a double vanity bench in or Ensuit. Other things we upgraded were having kitchen cupboards all the way across the kitchen wall, we added a glass splash back rather then tiles which is standard, but these this are more for looks then a necessary thing... Things that we opted for that were more practical: *Included insulation to the interior walls of the house (PD doesn't put anything in the walls which means sound can travel very well from one end of your house to the other) $1224 *Upgraded the underlay for our carpet which cost $204 *Evaporative Cooling to whole house $5475 *Fly screens to Whole house $700 *Sliding security screen doors to glass sliding doors $1179 x3 So yeah, we added quite a lot that I didn't list above but they are the main upgrades.
