Hi, we have built a beautiful home with Porter Davis and have been exceptional pleased with the quality of the build and the attention to detail by our supervisor. The only major issue we have had is that after the carpet was laid, we were totally shocked. Instead of having a light mushroom coloured carpet, we have dark brown. What can we do to change this situation? The sample we chose in the showroom looked vastly different from what we have on the floor. Some weeks before the carpet was laid we were concerned when looking at the colour printed in our documents. We rang the World of Style and the representative said she could not find the sample, because Porter Davis no longer used this carpet, but would get one of the designers to give us a call back. The designer called us back and was confident the carpet would work well with our colour scheme and even sent us a photo via phone message. Again, the colour looked a little darker grey than what we thought we had chosen, but we were happy that it would work with the colour scheme. When my husband rang very concerned after the carpet had been laid, he was told that it may be a shade darker due to difference in dye lots. This is definitely not a shade darker, it is the totally wrong colour from what we were expecting. Instead of being a warm grey-mushroom colour, it is dark brown! Is there anything we can do about this problem please?

Hi I am concerned about the waffle slab, can we pay extra to have the Porter Davis house we want built on a conventional slab?
Or can we have an external company prepare the concrete slab for a Porter Davis home to be built on?

Team PDPorter Davis Homes

Hi Jen,

Thank you for your enquiry.
All Porter Davis homes are built on a waffle slab. We cannot build on external company’s slabs as we can't guarantee the quality of their work.

Jen, please feel free to engage with one of our New Home Consultants who can help access the suitability of your block. Visit our website to get in touch

Hi ChiaC,

We do not use any asbestos products on site. We use PVC pipes for our new home builds.

Thank you for the response. It is really comforting to know that Porter Davis do not use any asbestos products because unknown to most buyers some new constructions still use asbestos cement (AC) pipe to connect water.

Hi, we are impressed with the Astor 49 house design. My only concern is the big window in the family room. The orientation of our lot is facing east. I am worried if it’s going to be too hot during summer. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks!

I got home building started from april 2018. Now still under construction. I have been to my site again this morning again. There is no body working there again. I called site manager then to ask why there is no one working for a few weeks, he told he was on holiday and just came back. Everything need to organize to finalzie the work. My site work reference number is PE123616. I wouldn't recommemd anyone to build with porter davis because the site manager is on very bad manner and after you did the 95% payment, they don't really look after you then. Sometimes you cann't evern get the site manager. very bad experience.
