We have just moved into our home and notice that at night we can clearly see where the joins in the plaster on the ceiling are under the shadows cat…

Pleased to say we finally moved in on the 12th April. The builder still hasn't finished many items, but we had no choice but to move out of our old…

Hi All,
After getting in the boxing ring with the State Mgr, Construction Mgr and our Supervisor; M3tricon have promised the house will be handed over this Friday. The State Mgr…

i mean seriously the chance of getting the product replaced, delivered and then retiled after the old one has been removed all at the cost of the supplier is next…

This is the colour we bought...what it should have been.

In isolation it looks fine...just doesn't go with our colours. The one we ordered had a lot of deep greys in it and was darker overall.

We could live with the colour, but it's just so upsetting as it looks nothing like the colour we ordered. And to think it's the most expensive feature just breaks…

We were away for the last 2 days while some Stack Stone which we had bought interstate was applied by a professional tiler. We came…

M3tricon have had only 3-4 days of work left on our house for the last 4 weeks and they have done absolutely nothing. Have written a letter to the state…

We are now 8 weeks over the contract date and they still haven't finished For the past 2-3 weeks they have only had maybe…

funny you should say that because there are a few M3tricon homes in our area and yet you would never recognise them as M3tricon houses, given the way M3tricon markets…

Hi,
We had the cutouts put in at design stage. i'll have to check the contract to see what they charged for them - to memory I think it was around…

Hi - we are currently 8 weeks overdue and don't have a firm date as yet. The worst part is that there is only 3-4 days worth of work left…

Hey thanks again- great to be back in action.

Thanks... - We have a double door fridge which should just fit. The space was supposed to be 1.00m wide but it is now…

Hi,
Yeah the internal pantry door is just going to be a standard door and as far as kickboard for the cooker is concerned, i had never even thought about that…

Yep the benchtops are C/S
The past few months with the Big M haven't been any easier although our supervisor has been excellent and been doing a lot to keep us…

After a long absence we're back and proud to say it's finally nearing completion - 2-3 weeks max. Here are some pics we took tonight - hope you enjoy.

Thankfully our bricking should be finished today with plasterers beginning tomorrow. The Big M has also said they are going to provide a schedule of works between now and completion…

Had an hour long meeting today onsite with the supervisor and construction manager. The brickies had turned up finally. As far as completion time goes, they reckon Mid-Feb. I still…

We are building the Adelphi and their compensation for going past 19/01/08 is a whole $15 per day.

Supervisor just called to say Brickies will be there on Tuesday.
