And also would like to know the cost of adding windows in the main bedroom and meal room, the house type is Regatta, looking at the house plan, I just realize that there is no much window on the left hand side of the house. TIA Hello Tia, I was charged $647 for a 2100mm high x 2400mm wide colour bond roller door in lieu of a door and brickwork. Hope this helps Re: Porter Davis homes 3376Oct 10, 2011 7:53 am mqtutor Hi All Anyone know how much to add roller door to the rear of garage (instead of normal door)?

TIA Hi Tia, We're having a roller door to the rear of the garage instead of the standard door, this is what's written in our contract. 2100mm high x 2400mm wide Colorbond roller door to the rear of the garage in lieu of standard - $550.00 Re: Porter Davis homes 3377Oct 10, 2011 8:45 am serenitynow I had Blanco oven and stovetop in my previous newly built home. (we were owner builders so I hand picked all my appliances and thought I was getting the best with blanco) I would never ever go with blanco again. When I was told I could upgrade my appliances in my new PD home I said a quick no when they said blanco. Blanco oven rubbersealer repeatedly would come off in the oven. Even though it was under the warranty period they would fix it but it kept undoing, then it became out of warranty. The fan in the oven stopped working after 16 months. The cooktop never ignited properly I had the service man ( when under warranty) tell me I wasnt holding down the button long enough apparently I needed it hold down for 4 mins before it ignited Then after 1 year it didn't ignite at all. My cousin had the exact same problem with her blanco appliances, maybe we both got duds. I am happy to have my standard tecnika this time round Thanks for the reply - this is what I suspected... Will have to live with it for the time being...

One thing is my SS never contacts me to let me know of progress on the build. He has also been quite hard to get hold of, with his mobile always going to answer machine. Anybody got any tips on how I can get him onside?

TIA We added 2 windows to the family and meals area of our Regatta 23, each measuring 2100 mm high by 2400 mm wide aluminium sliding windows. Cost us $250 each. (We were quoted $220 each for 1200 mm high by 2400 mm wide windows). It's worth adding the windows as the house becomes much brighter than the display home.

Thanks for the info Solid Gold, really helpful. Yes, you're right, I don't understand why PD doesn't put the windows by default Do you have a blog? since you are building the same house. Thanks all Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12345 Ask for references and speak to them.
