Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Porter Davis homes 3906Dec 05, 2011 9:33 am Twiggy Moved in two months ago now Our curtains went in a week ago and the carpet went in a few weeks before that. Feels so much more homely now. We're still waiting on one fence to get finished though (Should of been done about a month ago). It's stopping us from bringing the dogs over though, so that's very annoying to say the least! Landscapers start at the end of this week for the front yard, so it will feel completed when that's done. Will still havet o do the backyard, but we can chip away at that Hi Twiggy, That’s great news to hear that your house is becoming more homely. Do you have any pictures to share, I’d love to see some.

They are planning on getting the slab done before the Xmas break. Our new BC is incredibly organized, such a massive improvement over our last one. Hi Wateman, I’m so delighted to hear that things are now working out for you, and even more pleased to hear that you’re happy with your new BC.

Eli-Kay, we had a lot of silver sheens in our old front yard which was starting to go hedgish before we sold. Loved them. Our estate gives free landscaping, so we're getting them to run them down both sides of our house to make a fence (Can't have any out front here) Looking forward to them going in Hi Twiggy, Wow that's great you get free landscaping, unfortunately we don't have that option in our estate. Would love it if you could post some pics of your house (internal and external). All the best.

Do u think a frame will be up before xmas? Thanks Nope I don't think we'll have frames as our slab pour is the 19th, gives it a chances to dry so no drama. We always knew they'd stop for Christmas so not worried at which point that is.

I’m glad you’ve been able to settle your worries about carpet, and it’s funny you’ve mentioned about pricing at Hopetoun, there is a changing coming soon – watch this space!

Good luck with your search for wall paper. Cheers, Ebony That’s good news about changes Ebony. Customers enter in to a building contract with mixed emotions and fear of the unknown, transparent prices will help customers work out their budgets and BC’s won’t spend half their time answering pricing queries.

Good luck with your search for wall paper. Cheers, Ebony Ebony, if there is one thing that can be fixed its the process of picking stuff @ hopetoun, while we all understand that prices change, it needs to be clear what the price is. The floorplans are standard things, just give everyone the pricelist as of x date for the floorplan they have chosen. The BC people must hate the tender/contract process, as one can only assume this is where the debates occur. Meeting SS onsite on Friday, we should have carpet on Thursday.

I would have thought we'd have things done at the same time seeing as we're building the same house with the same SS and start time.

JLD, They will not do them both at the same stage as they can not utilise the same tradies at the same time. Having said that it makes you wonder though as our build the tradies have not been there an entire day, just half days here and there.
