(Or so the lovely Carol tried to explain) Sounds like not enough staff, and/or not enough care for the rest of us at the moment! I just want my build to staaaaaarrtttt! Re: Porter Davis homes 5628Jun 20, 2012 4:13 pm Has anyone had a fireplace installed after handover. can anyone recommend where to buy a fireplace from. Re: Porter Davis homes 5629Jun 20, 2012 5:13 pm Wateman Is anybody following up over the cat 5e plugs? Update on our Cat5e / Cat6 issue.. http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=497&p=871301#p871301 I reported it to our SS and after a few follow-ups Argus organised a techie visit. The techie said that the cables they provide are all Cat6, but since Cat6 sockets are expensive these are only provided if the customer specifically asks and pays for the same else Cat5e sockets are provided. He checked with his office and said that we were only supposed to get Cat5e sockets. Since our network drawings explicitly mentioned Cat6 sockets, I sent them to the SS who organised another visit from the Argus technician and our sockets are now all Cat6 ! I suggest you follow up with PD if your contract/drawings state Cat6 but you got Cat5e instead.

Cheers - J & C Re: Porter Davis homes 5631Jun 21, 2012 9:21 am J & C Hi On what page of the contract do they specify the Cat5 or Cat6 sockets. Cheers - J & C We didn't have any mention of the specifics in the contract, but the drawing attached to the Argus selections explicitly mentioned Cat6 data points. Re: Porter Davis homes 5632Jun 22, 2012 9:43 am Our frame was completed yesterday Our inspector is going out tomorrow to do his thing. Hopefully our little man will be well enough to make the drive tomorrow so we can check it out too! (he is miserable with tonsillitis ) Re: Porter Davis homes 5633Jun 22, 2012 9:49 am humble I am still waiting for resolution to the water bill issue, on the 29th May, a signed copy of the building variation was sent to the office, and not a word since. I have called every day no call returned. Unbelievable. During the build everything was awesome.. soon as those keys are in your hot little hand, forget it. Nothing gets done. Why? It costs them money. Would I build again with PD? Probably not. Will I recommend them? Well 5 months ago yes, but now, not really. Hi humble, I did follow up regarding the cheque so I just wanted to touch base and see if you’ve either received your cheque or a call from the PD office to let you know when it would be delivered to you?
