We found that they were fairly flexible but it was a painful process. Anything that wasn't standard was an issue as we went through the process. Changes not communicated, not…

K-and-T posted:site classification and site cost- please help!
insider we are lucky that although our site is an H2 borderline E site it is only the top 600mm of soil. Apparently underneath we have excellent soil which is…

We aren't in a bushfire area but we have to have the report done because if you are within a certain distance of the zone then you have to meet…

Thanks for your reply. The drill holes are the same between both companies. We will definitely be going with the H2 slab, we are definitely not prepared to sacrifice the…

We have recently had a second soil test done with our new builder, this was based upon their recommendation as they have had other people in our situation use the…

I'd be taking it home, there is no way you can explore it fully with them looking over your shoulder and waiting. We found SO MANY things when we went…

We haven't had the best experience with M. We got to contract presentation eventually but had lots of trouble with the administration process and lack of attention to detail. It…

I hope they fix up those windows ASAP. It's pretty obvious that they don't match and I doubt there is anyway they could just have the horizontal bars just glued…

I'm sure I am pretty limited on what I can put on here publicy but most is already discussed in this thread.
K-and-T posted:Metricon Barkly 29 - Selections done + a little bit of drama
Well it's all over. We are no longer building with Metricon. As you would know we went to our contract presentation and basically none of the changes that we had…

wow - progress!!! The only progress we have is a driveway - nothing to do with Metricon but at least it's something. Your facade is going to look amazing! Can't…

oh no Shambini. This building business just seems to be full of waiting, waiting and more waiting!

Thanks trindy. Yes there is no way we will be parting with $9000 for that!
