Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Porter Davis homes 6235Oct 10, 2012 10:14 am I've followed your build Wateman and I do recall the situation, and even remember the drawings and their excuse after excuse, the way you were treated left me feeling pretty disgusted. Especially when another poster here even provided you with their drawings showing it could be done and was actually being done for them. We have had to fight for so many things in our house, luckily we were able to 'win' most battles but it was us always coming up with the ver do-able and not particularly complicated solutions to the problems, never PD - what happened to you regarding those niches was unfair in the extreme and then to be charged for making a change to rectify the problem (ie the extra bedroom) really just topped it all off. That charge should have been waived. There is either something seriously wrong with their process (that this wasn't addressed much earlier for you) or they really just don't care!! Amazing that they are up for customer service awards for 'respecting their customers dreams' (see the PD website blog for more on their recent HIA nominations if you don't know what I mean) Porter Davis homes 6236Oct 10, 2012 11:57 am Don't get me wrong I know I probably come off as bitter, but I love out house and it turned out good in the end we even had some luck go our way eventually. I just got annoyed seeing somebody else have the issue as its such an unnecessary drama for them. If PD don't like doing them they should not put them in displays and tell ppl from the start they can't have it Re: Porter Davis homes 6237Oct 10, 2012 12:05 pm No not bitter at all, just understandably disappointed and that's fair enough. Im so glad to hear that you love your house, and I hope the niches were worth the pain. We have them on our plans too, I think they are a great idea! Re: Porter Davis homes 6239Oct 11, 2012 7:54 am tamugrg, that's really disappointing that they didn't tell you about the niche straight up. I don't know what the options are (fortunately both our showers are on internal walls) but I imagine it would be hard for them to do anything at this late stage? I hope you get a satisfactory resolution. Only a couple of days until PCI for us . Hubby went out on Tuesday and saw that the external painting has been done, the splashback has been installed, and the lights under the overhead cabinets in the kitchen have been installed. The last door has been hung, the front door handle is on, and the meter box has been changed. There are some blurry pictures on the blog. We are well and truly locked out now so we probably won't be going over this weekend, although it hardly matters given we will be there on Monday for PCI. Everything is crossed that we might be able to handover late next week! Re: Porter Davis homes 6240Oct 11, 2012 9:22 am got some good news to share with you guys, handover is in 7 days.
Also updated blog but sorry no pics....... Three options 1 Ask the liquidator 2 Find another PD customer and ask the source of their report 3 Pay for new report 3 12332 Ask for references and speak to them. If they are defensive or try to avoid the request, walk. 1 74700 I would never build with Fowler homes. I built with them in 2021 and till date maintenance issues are pending.
