They should be done by the end of this week you've got blue frames too! Indeed I did. I already told my auntie to chase up on why they charged her $6k for the upgrade when it's standard... very dirty move from Metricon. Neville S Congrats on the framework, you are right it is very fast then really slow and so on Yup, full steam yesterday, empty site today =( vuster good to see progression. Shouldn't be too long before you see a house. Yeah super pumped to see how big it actually is. Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 266Dec 14, 2016 2:55 pm I am trying to work out when a waffle slab is used. Is there less excavating and less need for piers? ie can they just place the waffles on top of loose fill? Meanwhile the laid out form work looks impressive. Was it cheaper than the island slab which has a lot more concrete? Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 267Dec 14, 2016 3:05 pm As far as I know, a waffle slab is indeed to save time and money. They are quick and easy to setup plus uses less concrete. Not sure what site conditions need to be met for such a system to be appropriate though. Metricon hire engineers that decide for them. Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 268Dec 14, 2016 7:27 pm Since no one onsite today, thought I'd go for a scroll through the house. Was nice finally seeing the plans slowly come to life.

Woo.. 4m Stacker, that's freaking awesome, ours is 3.6m long..hahaa . I saw there's not much space at the corner of your outdoor as well, r u doing brick above stackers or like ours - Aluminum boards over Stackers? Build thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=83484 Our Glendale 39, SA Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 274Dec 15, 2016 9:41 pm Negative, so it'll be what ever is standard above the stacker doors. I wanted cornerless, but then I couldn't get the 4m stackers due to max length over beam. Most they offered was 3m due to the width of my home =( Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 275Dec 16, 2016 6:05 pm Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 277Dec 17, 2016 9:26 am Taking great shape!

Last week they did Tuesday, Thursdays, Friday and Satruday! All full days till 6pm. That continued this week Monday, seems like that are finished. Today they have the roof guttering going up.

Are your gutters and fascia in monument colour? Re: KDR Metricon Liberty - Hampshire 45 QLD 280Dec 21, 2016 10:01 am beac_faith Yup I think the roof tiles should start tomorrow! Are your gutters and fascia in monument colour? From memory, that colour sounds about right =) We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37378 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19251 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes. I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 13580 |
