Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Porter Davis homes 5749Jul 18, 2012 8:18 pm Hey guys, thanks for your comments above, really appreciate that This morning I was getting ready to ring my BC and complain when my phone rang. It was PD saying the final plans are ready to be signed... WOO HOOOO !!!! Now we are hoping for next week site start (fingers crossed). I might join Zinner with the dance. Re: Porter Davis homes 5750Jul 18, 2012 11:17 pm Zinner WOW!!!! Just had a call not even an hour after posting my disappointment post and I have been told that my cat5e will be upgraded to cat6. I'm still in shock!! .... so much so that I think i'll have to dance a jig As someone who spat the dummy privately with PD a few times. DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THIS THREAD. Many many a time I vented on here only to have my issue sorted immeadiately. They def do watch posts, and if you have had a single deal with Ebony your records are on file. My username v my lot/house address is linked. So you do get traction. It wasnt until I blew up on here that I got my water bill sorted. Re: Porter Davis homes 5751Jul 19, 2012 2:26 pm serenitynow Congrats JLD I am going to post a positive review about Porter Davis. We absolutely love our home, we had our 3 month Inspection happen today. Porter davis rang us about 3 weeks ago and organised the Inspection. Our inspector was absolutely brilliant! Our house is fantastic we have no cracks or major issues, my husband and I check the house constantly, and we are very happy. Only a couple of minor issues and a little brickwork has to be redone the attitude of the maintenance guy " that this will be fixed" was fab. Totally happy. Awesome maintenance guy. I have to give credit when It's due. very very happy. Great home and the after care for us has been fantastic, they even replaced scratched windows for me. Hi serenitynow, it’s so pleasing to read your feedback and hear how happy you are with your new home – thanks for sharing. I have also forward on your comments to the main PD office.

PCI went really well, ultimately the house is in really good condition. Plenty of little bits and pieces like paint touch ups and little grout touch ups. Not really anything major at all which is fantastic. We are full steam ahead to handover end of next week and I can't wait. Getting really excited about decorating the house as I've been buying plenty and would love to get it in there....oh and the curtains and blinds, really looking forward to seeing all of it come together. monkeypantz JLD PCI today Woohooooooo! Hope it goes well! We are scheduled for lock up this week I've done last week's blog update, hopefully this week's will be up sooner rather than later We visited the site on Saturday. In preparation for lock-up our front door frame is in and we LOVE it!! We went for a 2340x1200mm pivot door with single sidelite. There's a temporary door in its place at the moment, but the size is so impressive, it's exactly what we were after . Your house is looking great! Congratulations on your PCI JLD! Glad to hear it went well, I think it can be a nervous time with people not knowing if they will have many issues that will need fixing so it’s great that there was little bits and pieces. Now to decorating, the fun part – I look forward to seeing some updates and pictures. Cheers, Ebony Porter Davis Homes Questions?

Hi mitroff, Firstly welcome to the forum and congratulations on starting your build journey! I love forum, it has such a sense of community thats always comforting when you’ve just started, plus you can get tips and very honest feedback and advice from people who at all very different stages of their builds, as you can see from the recent posts. We’re always looking at ways to improve our customer experience which is why we’re very active on the forum and to also offer assistance. I think that the most important thing in your journey is your relationship with your BC and SS, if you feeling unsure about something definitely keep them in the loop and if you’re not feeling 100% satisfied you just need to let them know or feel free to chat to me via a private message.

I’m pleased to see that your issue has been rectified, even though it did take some time, its a good result. Cheers, Ebony Thx Ebony. I thought I was done and dusted on this one (as the news from both my BC and SS was that there was nothing more they could do) so it was very surprising for to get some news to the contrary. 46 weeks building so far... and I still say that overall PD have done a good job fixing issues with my build... so yes... im still dancing The drama continues for me however (you just wouldn't believe it if I told you what has gone on the last 2 weeks or so), but this new drama is not related to PD.... its the other "big player" in the building process...

The house is coming along a treat. Tiles have all been laid and grouting being done today. Plumbing also today + fit offs and carpets next week. I should be getting a date for PCI and completion. As usual, I have had no problems with my BC or SS. They have really been prompt with getting any issues fixed without question, big or small. Upon completion, I'll be giving them a very good review.
