Yes, the standford 23 sq with a base price of 140,900, and Henley Carynia with 25.67 sq with 140,900 BASE so really 2.67 Extra. also Henley came with stone bench top to Kitchen, ensuit, and bath, which PD was charging me $3,000 for it. I am tryin to get a free dishwasher from Henley though. This is something that PD was offering and Henley does not offer as a promotion. I think overall the standard inclusion of Henley was much better in my idea. and they did not have a big list of Variation like PD. almost everything was standard in the display I saw, which for PD in my experience everything was extra.

Well, I think every reader of this forum is hoping things will go smoothly for you. In regards to promotions and what you get free - it's all about timing and what they're offering at the present time. When we were going with Henley we couldn't get the stone benchtop (nor a dishwasher) where as we got them for free with PD. And you know, standard inclusions (if you like or dislike them) is a matter of personal taste. The main thing is that you're going to be happy living in your house. So, again, good luck and keep us posted. [sneakersss] Re: Porter Davis homes 137May 28, 2007 8:47 pm Hi everyone,
We have been in our Hamilton 34 for 3 months now. We had our 3 month inspection today. We had a really good experience with PD, had a great site supervisor who was very quick to return calls and act on our behalf. We love our home and are very happy. Although one thing we are not happy about is that they cut way too much out for the site cut that when our fences were put up, there were massive gaps underneath them (so our fur babies could escape quite easily), we are in the process of reporting this to PD to rectify with some retaining walls. Hope they come to the party! I have found the paint work in the house leaves a lot to be desired and chips so easily. But other than that we have been one of the "lucky" ones. We did our own tiles and carpet and timber entrance and saved heaps. We also had a friend of ours do all our cupboards/cabinets. Good luck to eveyone. Re: Porter Davis homes 138May 30, 2007 5:04 pm ok....
well, all was going along fairly smoothly, some stupid prices, fairly non-efficient customer service....but nothing too stressful....till yesterday! Our file was finally due to go to construction this friday to start building in the next week or two...so rang our customer service person yesterday just to ensure the building permit was issued and that our bank had sent them all the paperwork they needed..... But no......they have had to re-apply for a "build over easement" permission which is going to take another 3-6 weeks...then the building permit is issued, then we go to construction...so our house will possiby not start for another 2 months..... And they hadn't even bothered to let us know till we ring them to check everything is ok Built Porter Davis "Dromana" 2007. Re: Porter Davis homes 139May 30, 2007 7:39 pm Just a little oversight I would have thought??
Just a complete lack of due care and attention to customer service... Re: Porter Davis homes 140May 31, 2007 1:26 pm Quote: Just a little oversight I would have thought?? Just a complete lack of due care and attention to customer service... That pretty much sums it up.... After much "discussion" and unleashing the dragon onto them (the other half) they are suddenly saying they sould have it all sorted out next week....will not hold breath, but a little more positive than yesterday... Built Porter Davis "Dromana" 2007. Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12182 Ask for references and speak to them.
