I second Matthew's. After Vista put us on to them and another friend highly recommended, I'm so glad we chose them. About 10% more than other quotes, but they are…

That's crazy Q - you would think if it is on the council approved plans that it's a given, regardless of who is doing it.
We replaced an existing retaining…

Q - we have just had to build a similar size retaining wall (and coincidentally are building the same house and facade!)
Our wall came in just under $17K.
Seems like we…

Wow Vista - I haven't checked in for ages. Have just been getting up to date. The house looks amazing, you must be thrilled to finally be in.
Just wondering if…

Are the stairs carpeted Vista? This might help balance it once that's down.

Oh no!! So not a small oversight. What a bad run you've had......

Thanks Vista - might have to check it out.
How frustrating about the stair tread. Can they sand it back and redo? Or replace? It looks fine in the pic. Does…

Looks great Vista! So light and bright. I love your wall colour - what colour is it?

I have a question on start times for everyone. We gave Metricon our demo clearance on the 2nd August. Fencing went up on 18th August and we are still waiting…

The bi-folds look amazing!! Hope they sort the tile saga for you Vista.

How frustrating!! It's not like they can blame the weather for the delays.

Boom-tish!!!

That's great advice Q. The only issue I would see with getting a higher window is that you'd have to be quite tall to access the overhead cupboards. I…

Yes - they'll set you back a bit. I think having the corner support removed adds the $$ too.
It's so hard to know where to draw the line with upgrades!

Yes - we've done exactly the same stairs. It was great to see actual pics of them as there's nothing around to give you an idea of what it will…

Hope they showed up for you this week Vista! How annoying to have such a great start and then it just stops.
I have heard there is a lot of Metricon…

Our Ceasarstone and appliance upgrade was included in our package, so I'm not sure what $$ you could be looking at? The only cost we incurred was upgrading the laundry…

Yep - tiles and electricals are a killer!! I was wrecked after ours.

Can you do a rough check that they've calculated it correctly? Metricon double charged us in our initial quote. I made sure I double checked everything and when I calculated…

Wow! A great choice Vista. The size gives a real wow factor.

The tiles are looking fabulous Vista! Are they 600 x 300??

That's good to know Orph - I had seen some unfavourable reviews written online when we were told we'd be using NT.
We were very happy with the choices we…

We just missed out on using DiLorenzo as well Q.
Unfortunately we weren't quite far enough along when they changed suppliers.
Looks like the range was much wider (and I've…

The tiles look great! Are you tiling family/dining or going with timber?

I think you would be disappointed with the smaller door. 820mm is a bit small in my opinion.

Where are you in your build process? What does it show on your plans? I would stick to your guns in this one and maybe even ask her to raise…

Wow Vista - looks amazing! Love the niche for the projector.
And that butlers pantry is to die for!!!

Any idea what factors in to calculating storm water disposal?
Our provisionals were $25k - came in at $22k. BASIX $10k - came in at $11k.
Based on the differences evetyone…

We're doing KDR too in Sydney. Not sure if it's different here. We had to get our Demo approval and Building approval from council before we could start demolition.
