Building a Waldorf or Marriot by Porter Davis
Congratulations! If I recall correctly it’s been an awful long journey for you. Glad the big day has finally arrived.

Sorry to hear of your situation. They should have shown you these drawings before you sign the contract. Maybe your builder works differently, if they do then yes, it is…

Oh no that's awful! How far off are you away from handover? What issues are you having?

We also went with Darbecca and opted for all the inspections except one. Like you, we didn't look elsewhere because of the comments on HomeOne. Two things to note though:

So jealous! We've been at lock up stage for over two months due to build quality issues ☹️
When was your site start? Did you have any issues along the…

Yeh, it's no fun. We are also on our 6th building variation too. We haven't changed our minds. Just keep finding errors..
Good luck with your frame next week!

Congrats! Looks great! Can't wait till we get to that stage. Our Waldorf needed three frame inspections by darbecca to get PD to get just the frame right. And that…

I'm pretty sure they use dulux for exteriors and wattyl for interior walls. Can try calling World of Style to confirm?
