Problems building with Porter Davis

"tens of thousands of dollars to fix the mess" that awful!. What sort of fixes are needed?
We have had ongoing problems with PD's subbies - just hopeless really.…

Have you tried contacting tellus@porterdavis.com.au or 1300 799 105. (http://www.porterdavis.com.au/why-build ... er-charter). That may help with escalation.

Yeah they pay once the water consumption cost is $250+. That excludes supply and service fees. So 99% of the time PD wont need to pay for water…

Edit: Kevin finally called me apologising profusely - just too busy at the moment. Considering the current building industry I'm not surprised.

Normally I would have recommended Kevin too, but he is no longer returning my calls. We have paid a lot of money to his company for his services. …

We couldn't get PD to not install quad and we pushed for it. Typically you attach the skirting boards on top of the laminate/timber flooring but they do not…

Benchtops look great. What is the colour?

Great to see painting going on - exciting.
We are going to have all our tiling done first then painting - have been told to not worry but we remain skeptical!

Yeah they need to redo that though. Not good enough quality and can be easily fixed. Hassle them to fix it and if you get no joy talk to their…

That fence looks awesome!!! Who built it? We are looking to put one in pretty much the same.

Not sure on cost - doesnt sound outrageous. Handy having it done as part of the build and also included in the construction loan. Wish we had done…

Nice! I like the driveway - we are struggling to get people to quote on putting our driveway in. People dont need the business I guess. …

Hard to tell what the colour in the laundry is but its Smoke Strand

I was wondering about the cabinets too :)
I spied our cabinets arriving on site today. Keen to see them later today!

Looks a bit high, but it's hard to tell. Std height for a washer and dryer stacked is about 1650mm or so, so as long as it sits behind that…

Late? You could say that. It's taken nearly 3 months to fix the slab and frame issues - remaining slab fixes are supposed to be happening this weekend…

We are sorting out our new Silestone selection today. My wife is heading over to WOS shortly, but we have a choice of one colour really as we…

Silestone? Is Essastone no longer what's used or is that just for new builds and not ones in progress?
