Yeah I’ll give that a crack.
Also there is supposed to be an independent building inspector provided by them. I haven’t seen one report yet. Has anyone actually received a…

Yeah that’s the thing SS has already said it was for electrical and plumbing.

Hi All,
Our build has progressed well and they are telling us they have finished fix stage.
It’s not finished as there are still some things not completed. Seemingly nothing…

There is a lot of whinging on this thread and unrealistic expectations of how smooth a build goes. So your slab pour didn't happen on the very day they said…

Where are you building? Who is the developer?

We went for a massive 6m wide boutique stacker door to the alfresco. Might as well open up the whole area to the alfresco. It will be a real feature.

Our land titled today!!! So settlement on or before the 13th and hopefully a July-August site start.

I'll have to check but from memory it was included on my fixed site costs under estate requirements or something similar. I will check though.

I refused to sign the first time until they remedied most of the issues. They didn't want to put them through as a new contract so they had the pcv…

If you have it in writing, that is the price and don't sign anything that says otherwise!

Hi Liz,
I have been following your progress but not posted yet. I'm sorry the build process has been tough for you and that there has been more hurdles than…

Was a flat out no to me. No chance at all, even when I went and wouldn't sign the first time. I said I'm not signing unless I get to…

Just buy some and install it yourself after the electrical and plumbing has been roughed in and before the plaster goes in. It costs bugger all and you literally just…

We just got our tender Doc and they charged us the full amount for the upgraded carpet and then the other carpet was credited back as a line item.

I wouldn't worry too much about the water in the house, that could be pumped out in under an hour and the dried with a fan.
Stuff like that happens during…

I don't think there is a lot that can be done about it or that they had a choice, it's the lowest part of the house and the water needs…

Is that Natural mortar that you've gone with?

8 years8 yearswalkswalks posted:
Porter Davis homes

I'm in exactly the same boat. They won't give me my contract to review in detail, then they want the money and you have 5 days to question things which…

Is there an ombudsman? Surely they can jump in and make things happen faster.

8 years8 yearswalkswalks posted:

They charged me $5000 for colorbond at WOS. I told them it's definitely included in my package, it's required with my estate covenants and my sales guy said it every…

I went thorough it with a fine tooth comb today as you have 48 hours to notify them of any changes. After that they need to be done through the…

Did you do any colors, bricks, tiles etc? Or just electrical plan?

We had our world of style appointment today. We found everything pretty easy as we'd already spent a day and a half there on previous weekends picking colors and styles.…

8 years8 yearswalkswalks posted:

I would certainly hope so. Have you contacted them yet?

8 years8 yearswalkswalks posted:

Edit: there I fixed it.

I got told the same thing last weekend at WOS but then she asked someone else and they were wrong, you can get it with laminex.

Another issue would be where the stud is but any sparky worth their salt will be able to get one there as long as it's within regs.
