Re: Porter Davis homes 14608Apr 06, 2017 5:46 pm 9528 lizbf85 Ashik_09 Hi 9528, That's a bit expensive, we were thinking of sliding door to the WIR entrance. We have our tender on Monday and would ask them to update the door to 1020 from 820 for the entrance. I am expecting that to be $800. Will let you guys know once I know how much its gonna cost. Cheers, A We paid $203 each for a cavity slider on our robes 2040x720mm x2 and for a standard extra door on a WIR and rumpus we paid $266 each Hi Liz, your pricing is not excessive. I sort recall you paid $330 for 2 hinged door cupboard over fridge. Yesterday at WoS appointment with Kitchen Culture, for the exact cabinets, I was quoted for $545.90 for Laminate finish. To get silk finish, there is an additional charge of $86. It seems they charge whatever they like and transparency is virtually non existing. Could anyone share how much they paid for overhead cupboard above fridge? Thanks guys We are paying $390 for overhead cupboards where fridge is.

Hi Doulton, may I ask when did you get your quote for over fridge cabinets? Did you get from your Kitchen culture at WoS selection appointment? Would you mind sharing a photo of that quote?

We were quoted $545.90 (quote date 10/2/17) for a "2 door hinged cupboard to top of fridge with 16mm shadowline." Includes handles. With 10mm overhang to doors. Cabinet to be approx 320mm high". We were over budget so we just left this and the laundry cabinets for later improvement after handover. Hope this helps...

We were over budget so we just left this and the laundry cabinets for later improvement after handover. Hope this helps... I caught up with a mate of mine recently who works for a building company. He was saying that cabinetry costs them about $800 a square meter which I find absolutely astonishing for what is often just a bit of chipboard and laminex. I think we were quoted around the $545 price for the cupboard on top of the fridge and decided to leave it. We can always just put a shelf in there and display a nice bowl or tagine or some such was our thinking, we've got a bunch of those sorts of things from when we lived overseas.

We got quoted exactly the same price on 30/3/17. Re: Porter Davis homes 14618Apr 07, 2017 10:33 am We got the keys!!!! And done except a cleaner is coming back again for windows then its time to get this show on the road. Security, floorboards and blinds which are all booked. Unfortunately no bubbles.. not even a PD provided one or welcome to ur new home hamper.. im actually pretty disgusted about that unless its still coming. Thanks all for answering some of my questions throughout our journey and also tolerating my outburst of frustration. Hopefully the joys this new house brings overide all of it.

Shocked that they didn't have a bottle of bubbles waiting for you, even if it was just the cheap stuff! Re: Porter Davis homes 14620Apr 07, 2017 12:19 pm Congratulations Liz, hopefully the handover all went pretty smoothly? How long is it supposed to be until all the floorboards and extra stuff are done and you can finally move in?
