Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Porter Davis homes 3287Sep 27, 2011 10:05 pm Wateman Do u all use the 24seven portal? Is it kept up to date as far as selection document and things? Mine is missing my tile selections and the electrical ones have never been updated, which is why I didn't know they had changed anything after my appt 3 weeks ago. My BC said this is normal and it's having problems but I don't think I can trust her anymore. She also said that as the reason she never gave me log in details for this until I asked for them. Hi Waterman, I have been reading this forum for a while now and I can tell you that there are always issues with that portal. If you search through this thread you will find countless comments in regards to the portal being down or out of date.

I actually have not heard from my BC at all - i just had a message on my phone yesterday from my new SS! I actually sent an email to her yesterday about a few other concerns I have but still have heard nothing - she is usually really good! So far no one is being very helpful with dates at all which is really hard as i am doing my own floors and need to give them an absolute minimum 4 weeks notice to install them. Hi Audreyand Oscar, I’m glad to hear your new SS has been in contact with you. I’d like to help and follow up with you BC about the concerns you email her about, are you able to please send me a private message with your full name, lot number, address, your BC’s name and the best number we can reach you on.

BC rang me yesterday and sorted everything out! I'm still a very happy camper! Re: Porter Davis homes 3291Sep 29, 2011 11:30 am Thought I should post some good news rather than always being a whinge! Yesterday I had the mistake on my electrical plans fixed, and the change I requested made. I also found out that they FINALLY got my soil report back after not being able to gain access to our land(stupid developers!). So no more delays, engineering is being drawn up, contract underway and signing is on the 11th Oct! We may actually be getting somewhere!

With their Smart Wiring packs for FTTH estates PD offer four and eight packs in the OpenNetworks, Telstra or Opticomm packs. I know you can also add more points to these packs at an extra charge. What I am hoping somebody might know, is if there is a difference in the enclosures/system that they use depending on whether you pick a four or eight pack? Is it a larger enclosure? I can get away with only getting the 4-pack and getting one extra data and TV point, but I want to be able to add more later on if I ever need to, and I want to make sure I will be able to do that easily with their system. They say you can only have a max of 8 data points in the 4-pack and 16 in the 8-pack, so I get the feeling one is bigger than the other, but I don't want to pay for an 8-pack (which is an extra $1,200) if there is no point. Argus would be the perfect ones to answer this question but I've been trying for 2-weeks now and have had no luck. Anybody know what I'm talking about lol¿ Re: Porter Davis homes 3297Sep 29, 2011 6:57 pm mak_ i hope for your sake, site cost's come within budget mine were $20,000 over what they estimated I wasn't going to budge and accept the $20,000 Hi mak, That is disappointing for you, is there a slope to your block or lots of fill? You say you weren't going to budge, so have PD reviewed the costs for you, or what have you decided your going to do? mimi Re: Porter Davis homes 3299Sep 30, 2011 10:37 am mimi23 mak_ i hope for your sake, site cost's come within budget mine were $20,000 over what they estimated I wasn't going to budge and accept the $20,000 Hi mak, That is disappointing for you, is there a slope to your block or lots of fill? You say you weren't going to budge, so have PD reviewed the costs for you, or what have you decided your going to do? mimi Hey Mimi - The promo was "Site Costs Inc" inc with the Complete back in 2010 for $1,999. and at the initial $1,000 deposit the sale consultant never mentioned that there would be any further cost's. To get to a "pre" tender for them to explain that is "Won't be anymore then $16,000" promo is for only 500mm of fall and we have 1.2m - so nothing too massive. At our proper Tender they got the final cost in at $35,000 for really only 720mm of fall I have looked elsewhere and is actually better for us to change - we are still in limbo . We have a few weeks until contract. Staying with PD we are waaayyy over budget and with a Wedding to pay for as well we financially cannot do it. Re: Porter Davis homes 3300Sep 30, 2011 10:45 am In our promo we had the first 10k, we were presented with a bill for a extra 6k. We had a flat block (13cm fall) and we were on a PD H&L package.. it was a nice debate in the end, but meh. You learn to suck it up. We dropped the aircon to get it under budget. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12337 Ask for references and speak to them.
