We have moved in the new house last May and soon found out few problems, tried to contact them and submitted the service claims on their home service protal on 10/21, the problems still not solved after 7 months , and they did not even respond my email now . My range hood stop working at first month (less than 10 time of use) , and I have 2 doors can not be closed properly
Took occupancy of our Porter Davis townhouse in September 2021 and followed their instructions with reference to lodging defects under their 90 Day Warranty Claims.
Currently we have registered 27 defect issues and to date not one has been actioned.
The New Home Care 90 Day Maintenance department are impossible to contact to get updates on progress of claims.
Very frustrating and causing us great angst!
Can someone from Porter Davis please expedite action with reference to our registered claims!!!!!
Disgusting customer service! After initial consultation with a "sales" person at a display home in Brisbane's Western suburbs, we were told we would have a quote in 3 days. We emailed her weekly for 4 weeks asking for our quote, with each time saying we would have it by the end of the day. (After 2 weeks we figured we were just a number with Porter Davis and found another builder). Finally after 4 weeks we were told that they couldn't build the house we wanted on our block because it wasn't a new subdivision, but tried selling us a more expensi...
Read moreve house and a list of other "expenses" they had to incur to build on our relatively flat block with only 500mm fall. I believe if we didn't email them one last time after 4 weeks, we would never have heard from them again. So happy we are not building with them. Steer clear of this builder unless you don't mind being lost in the cracks and you have deep pockets.Hi Gary

Slab poured on November/2021 for Toorak 58 in a Western suburb. Still frame not started, they don't even know when its going to happen. Majority of the time co-ordinator in the office do not answer the phone calls, even response for the email takes weeks. Still we are awaiting for a reply for an email sent over 4 weeks ago.. Site supervisor doesn't know the answer for the timber issue. Its been over four(4) months now, no one take responsibility. Total negligence in every sort of aspect so far except sales. Extremely disappointed..
It is with great disappointment that I use this avenue to express my feelings to representatives at Porter Davis. We have been in the process of designing and selecting features for our home for 10 months now, it has been a tedious process that has taken a part of our soul away, created anxiety and stress that is reflected in our day to day life. While we were excited to begin our journey with the company and create a dream home for our family, it is the manner in which we have been treated by consultants and other individuals during this proce...
Read moress that has flipped our perception of this company and those who work for it. Every meeting, phone conversation and email is like a tug of war where we are at odds with the consultants as they fail to comprehend our selections and dismiss any wrongdoing on their part. It has become ever so clear that consultants are taking advantage of verbal interactions that is not documented so that they are able to deny claims they have previously made regarding prices and selections during the contract meeting and world of style meetings and have defended themselves by continuously suggesting that we are "misinterpreting" and "misunderstanding" what has been discussed during these meetings which is really disheartening and unprofessional on many levels. This leads me to highlight the level of misinformation that exists in which consultants have engaged in conduct that is misleading and deceiving as I recommend new customers record the conversations in these meetings so as to avoid any form of "misunderstanding". Porter Davis' motto "we build homes you build the memories", we haven't even began construction yet and I have been left with nothing but nightmares.Hi Karrar

We have been waiting for a floor which was taken out last year early december as a result of a major water leak from faulty plumbing. Now we have a concrete floor and Nails hanging from corner of the cabinets and island bench all around. Have been chasing them since 4 months and they are so unresponsive and slow. You can build a house in 4 months and they couldn’t redo the flooring for us in all this time. This has made our new home journey experience so bad. People come and this is what they see and ask us who is the builder? We feel so embarr...

Not our first home that we have build so we have some idea. We decided to go ahead and build the display house at Newport. Based on the information we received from the sales person we decided to proceed. When we arrived to our colour choice appointment we discovered that 2 of our biggest upgrades are completely wrong and not the same as the display.
1. The Facade $30,900
2. The Staircase $27,000
The display is a 40sqm home and we are building the 35sqm home

Personal experience with PD QLD. If I had my time again I WOULD NOT BUILD with this company. Our build commenced in May 2021 and is not expected to be completed until the end of May/June this year. We were extremely understanding of industry-wide delays and accepted months of these however, a complete lack of communication from all levels within the company, inability to manage trades/contractors and ongoing mismanagement of our project has led to our building exceeding a year. Extremely disappointed as our concerns were raised early on with al...
Read morel assurances deadlines would be met. Our personal situation meant we had to be in our house by the end of April (allowing 11month build time - originally quoted 8.5mths) however PD were not concerned with our needs. On the PD website, it quotes respect, integrity and open communication - including portals for regular updates - this has not occurred with our build. At every stage, we have had to chase the SS and management for updates causing high levels of stress and anxiety. Extremely disappointed by the whole experience especially when the team at WOS and our Building Coordinator were amazing.Hi Kimberley

I have recently bought a land on which I was so eager to get a Porter Davis home as I heard good reviews about it. But the sales agent who I got stuck with never responded which plan they could build on the land. Neither did he offer any meeting slot. I sent him an email containing engineering and the plan of subdivision as he asked, 3 calls and a few messages but didn't get a proper response. It seemed the sales agent wasn't interested at all to have any communication.

It’s been 4 years they trying to fix leakage from void panels and still not done.
We went with most expensive home of theirs
Waldorf Grange this is what we get with all upgrades.
We forwarded this to home care team after a week of moving into the property which was in July 2017 and they send some tradesman to put silicone after every 6 months. I have tried to contact them so many times and they themselves don’t know what the issue is. Now all 3 panels in void are leaking.
Never go with them wrost in business.
If anyone could guide us with what can I do please let me know.
I have all messages and email from them.
Thank you so much

Cheating the customers and dodging : Have not installed the rain water drain pits.
My house yard got flooded from the rain. Finally I found out that there are no drain pits installed as per the plan. The builder failed to show me the original drains instead passed the ball to me saying that they can't take the responsibility after the house handover (I do understand that It's my mistake not checking the drains pits at the handover, however, these are obvious essential features of a house). I directly contacted the builder's plumber and ask him if he could show me the drains. instead showing me the original drains he installed...
Read more new drains and he didn't charge me (It's obvious that he covered the builder's initial fault). However, now I have drains but I had to spend about $3,000 to fix the damages due to flood. further, This flooding water was so concerning as there was a new born baby in the property and we were worrying about lots of health issues such as mosquitos , bad smell ect. therefore I got no option but sorting out this issue by myself rather dealing with this dodgy builder . I'm totally disappointed with this builder.Hi Dan

This is my second review on how poor the service is. My house was handed over in April 2020. I am still following on my 90 day work that needs to be fixed. I have written emails to ensure things are followed up before i write my review again. I haven't received any reply . The only time they call you is when you post a review. So here you go.
Questions & Answers
My wife and I have just paid our 2K (non-refundable) deposit after sales quotation and waiting to go into tender appointment - our sales guy seemed nice enough, we asked him several times that we wanted a quote that is as close to what we would expect at tender as we are already stretched with budget - assured as that final tender quote shouldn't go over 6K - 7K... QUESTION - Has anyone had any nasty surprises at tender where final price has been ridiculously over the initial sales quote?
