Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 310Nov 18, 2013 7:48 am Is the new promotion that much better? I only had a quick look yesterday but it seemed rather similar to me.. Make sure you check the base house price though as they can change when promotions change Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 311Nov 18, 2013 8:46 am in our case , the base price increase 8K , but seems the new promotion has more value (by our calculation, around 11K) the main difference of the new promotion is it come with high ceiling (2.74m to ground floor) , Kitechen Galley cabinet + stone bench top., tile to master suite ceiling , semi intergrated wash machine, 920mm overhand cabinet , Kitchen/Galley cabinet silk finish. Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 312Nov 18, 2013 8:48 am BuildingInBallarat The same thing happened to us before tender. We paid our $1000 with free colourbond and dreams wait for no-one packs. then the free flooring came in effect, so we were prepared to walk away unless they honored the new promotion. We got our own way Hi BIB, do you need pay extra to get the free flooring? or it is a bonus?

We got our own way Hi BIB, do you need pay extra to get the free flooring? or it is a bonus? Hi Scott, Not exactly - the way it worked out is funny. We negotiated when we paid our $1,000 deposit that we would not sign unless the $5,000 regional build fee was waived... They agreed to this as a sales incentive if we signed before the end of August - we agreed and coughed up our $1k, the very next week the free flooring package promotion started (which we had just locked in for $8500). So, we asked them if we could have that promotion as well, they agreed but put the $5k surcharge back on, so basically we saved $3,500... if they hadn't of agreed it would have been pretty poor of them and we literally would have saved $2500 if we walked away and forfeited our $1000, then come back the next day...

I c, so there will be a charge one way or the other, but still a good win In our case, the base price will up 8k, the extra upgrade new promotion included will cost 10k ( we need upgrade all of them anyway).... So...... Will fight to get that..... Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 315Nov 19, 2013 1:56 pm I can see a couple of posts a few months back with regards to fly screen sliding doors. Has anyone else had these fitted by PD? I've just been given a price of $1217 PER SLIDING DOOR for a fly screen. Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 316Nov 19, 2013 2:12 pm ftdt7882 I can see a couple of posts a few months back with regards to fly screen sliding doors. Has anyone else had these fitted by PD? I've just been given a price of $1217 PER SLIDING DOOR for a fly screen. Ours worked out to roughly $330 per screen, with the stacker door consuming two of those. I actually felt they were quite reasonably priced, as they're made by the same company who built the door frames. If you have a four panel stacker door $1217 might not be impossible, but it definitely sounds unlikely to me. Maybe give A&L a call for a quote on a fly screen of the same dimensions and get it done after handover?

HD Well that was per door/screen, and 2 of the doors are the same size (just a standard sliding door) and we have a stacker. I think maybe they've quoted on security mesh?! $330 per door sounds much more reasonable, I was budgeting $1500 for all three doors as the stacker is quite large. I'm just waiting to see what my BC comes back with - I will also do what you suggested and give A&L a call and see how much it would be to do after handover Re: Porter Davis Upgrades and Costs 319Dec 11, 2013 8:29 am How much does each downlight and double powerpoint cost?
