26-06-08 Getting ahead of themselves

We haven't been able to get out to the house of late, mainly due to the early darkness and the poor weather. So I decided to log in to PD 24/7 today and noticed that they have updated our progress chart to show that our Plastering will be complete by tomorrow - WOW!

I may sound sceptical but somehow I think not. Considering they had only installed a few pre-fabricated corners up till last weekend, I would be surprised if they complete the entire house in 5 days


BTW, For those of you who are asking “what is PD 24/7” and “why is he logging on to it”, it’s an online webpage set up for each PD customer. You access it via the Porter Davis website. Once logged in you can view all of the documents relating to your house including your tender, contract, post contract variations, interior colour selections etc. It’s also a repository for all of the emails you send to and from your CSC so you can track all the info about your construction and the queries you raise.

As per the image above it also gives you a diagram of a thermometer to see where you are in the building process and a summary of each stage. It would appear that sometimes they nudge it up a little sooner than later.

You can also view the stages of the build and the dates that each one is completed. According to the screen below, our Plastering is finished tomorrow. Hmmm... we’ll have to see about that on Sat…. maybe they'll surprise me ;-)

That thermometer is terribly over ambitious. Ours said "Lock Up" on 12th June - that's 2 weeks ago.....we'll be lucky to get to lock up in another 2 weeks....and let me tell you, they ain't getting a cent of that big lock up payment until we are absolutely AT that stage!!!......Then again, maybe there's a nice surprise awaiting you at the end of the week. ;-)

You might be suprised then. If they started on Monday then it is probably right.
The guys started our place on a Monday and I came by to take some photos late afternoon. Almost everything was plastered including the bulkheads. The following days were spent plastering and the cornices. Looking forward to seeing your house.
