The thing that frustrates me is I haven't got any response from PD saying when the list of issues that are listed above & some others will be fixed even I have sent a couple of emails to building co-ordinator & site supervisor. Is there anywhere that I can reach to escalate this? Thanks !!! Hi tamugrg, I understand that you have been contacted and that a PD Building Manager is overseeing the efforts to resolve your issues.

PD Building manager called me & told me that he has plans to sort out the issues that I had raised with specific dates later to be provided by building coordinator. I am now waiting for call from building co-ordinator/site supervisor regarding the exact date on when it will be sorted. Hopefully, everything will be sorted soon. Thanks TAMU Building PD Marbella 38 Deposit:31 Dec 2011 Tender:08 Feb Tile/Col/Elect: 22 Feb Contract: 29 Feb Slab: 24 Apr Frame: 17 May Lock up: 02 Aug Completion/PCI: 31 Oct Move in: 17 Nov 2012 Re: Porter Davis homes 6554Feb 01, 2013 9:54 pm It's been two weeks since I raised all the issues with my SS in regards to the frame stage for the frame/slab/window issues, a total 22 items in fact and another 11 raised in a Building Inspection report from last Wednesday. The only ones fixed are 2 slab issues non of the other items have been resolved. Each time I have a converstation I'm told stories of how the tradie will be there in the next day or two to fix the issue, and assure it'll be fixed, but nothing happens. How long do people find that issues at this stage of the build take to get resolved? We've had the house wrapped, plumbing (done wrong) and roof rails install in last 2 weeks. The pace seems to have stopped. It's Day 53 and we don't even have a roof on. It's no longer exciting to visit the site, just depressing because we now know that every time we go something won't be fixed or a new issues arrises We are starting to wish we could just pull out... Oh and to add to it people are stealing our bricks (30 or so) that are sitting there waiting to laid and dumping dishwasher boxes on our site!

I hope you find some resolution soon and the build speeds up. We had independent inspection done at frame/slab stage and found the problems resolved quickly. It didn't hold up progress at all.

We had independent inspection done at frame/slab stage and found the problems resolved quickly. It didn't hold up progress at all. How quick is quickly? How long from when you raised the issues to them being fixed? How many issues did you have? Thanks! Re: Porter Davis homes 6559Feb 02, 2013 8:22 pm Hello kallara.
