Building a Waldorf Grange with Porter Davis

This blog will provide a running diary of our upcoming build with Porter Davis.  We will keep this blog as up to date as possible to provide you with information on progress, issues and other aspects of the building process.  We hope this information will be useful for anyone building this (or a similar) design house with PD.  If anyone would like to ask questions about the sales, tender, contract or build stages please feel free!

We are build the "Waldorf Grange"... yes, the one plastered on the billboards adorning Melbourne's freeways of late :-)  The design comes in the 49 and 50 square option - we are building the 49.  Our project is a "knockdown - rebuild" in the inner south-east of Melbourne on a 615m2 east-west block.

The specifications of our build are almost identical to the PD Greenvale display home (pictured above), with several extras and options.  Specifically:

• Long Island facade
• Similar (not exactly the same) exterior colour scheme
• Standard layout, with Feng Shui stair, upper bathroom and upper linen cupboard options
• Hebel (AAC) construction
• Hebel "power floor" (suspended concrete) top floor
• Colorbond roof
• Extended height ceilings
• Double-glazed, timber-framed windows throughout
• Dado wall panelling
• Floor-to-ceiling windows in the family room void (as per display home) - very important (will cover this in the "Tender" section
• Actron ESP Ultima ducted A/C
• Miele appliances

If anyone would like more information about our inclusions / exclusions, please post a question.

We will cover each key stage in the process separately.  Overall we will say up front that the sales / tender and contract process with PD has been extremely smooth and enjoyable.
