Pool was completed over a week ago and we are still having discussions regarding my windows which should have been resolved 6 months ago!!!! And so the wait continues... Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com Really!! I thought they had that resolved. Typical of M hope it gets sorted ASAP Re: Metricon Henderson 42 183Jun 21, 2016 8:45 pm Emmz70 M and T Feeling so frustrated with Metricon right now!

Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com Really!! I thought they had that resolved. Typical of M hope it gets sorted ASAP I thought it was resolved too! But Metricon just found out when they went to order our windows that we can't have a colonial casement window in the size specified on the plans. Just annoyed because we've had months for them to check the Windows and I pushed for them to be checked but clearly it wasn't done properly with the supplier. Apparently we can't move into construction until another variation is done to change some of the Windows. Thanks though Emmz - hoping it gets sorted quickly too!

Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com How annoying!!! I do remember you mentioning this earlier and all this time I can't believe they missed this I really hope they manage to install some of the Windows you requested I was looking forward to seeing them on your home. Are they planning to adjust the plan to allow the Windows? I really hope so and hopefully free of charge Re: Metricon Henderson 42 185Jun 22, 2016 12:29 pm No the latest is we have to change some of them to colonial awning style instead of casement to be able to keep them at the same size. They were really reluctant to change window sizes as construction certificate has already been issued! But the good news is that these particular windows can now be timber, which wasn't an available option in casement style colonial Windows Welcome to our new Metricon Henderson viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81978 https://metriconhenderson.wordpress.com Re: Metricon Henderson 42 186Jun 23, 2016 6:22 pm We have a site supervisor!!

It certainly feels like that's all that's happening. Apparently next Wednesday is the big day when more will happen. I was given our site supervisor's details already from Metricon's office last week but still no contact from him. That doesn't fill me with confidence ...

Your boys look happy! Bet they've already picked what they want for their rooms hey mum? My Metricon Glendale in Sydney.

Our alfresco stairs are supposed to be centred to the alfresco but these seem to be completely off centre. A bit worried as I don't want the concrete poured until this is checked and resolved. I sent an email to our site manager who called me today and said he'd check the measurements. Just waiting on a response...

At the risk of sounding stupid - what are these for? I assume the slab?
