Base price was $444,00 with facade its $468,000. But we added a lot of extra extended it another 10.5 squares. Too add a lounge at the back. And two more bedrooms upstairs. So your place will be 66.5 sq !!! ?? What is your final build price? Yes 66.5 we didn't even realise it was going to be that big. Until once the structure changes were put in. Then my consultant goes. Oh my gosh. It's 66.5sq. And we were like what? Really?? We also took the ensuite out of two of the rooms. And added two 2 way bathrooms. I'm in a 47 at the moment. We is quiet tight for all of us. So nearly 20 more squares would be so big for us. It's $814,000 at the moment. But we haven't had our tile selections yet. Plus we added more variations at contract. So I don't know yet. [/quote] 850k + budgets... I'm out of my league in here. Lol[/quote] It's not about league, just have to try and stick to your budget. Throw forum is good to compare and understand what others are going through and to get an honest opinion instead of the sells pitch that the builders keep telling us. [/quote] Yes budget is very important. I think that's what you have to work around. [/quote] We got a pre approval but we are also went over which is easy too do. So now after contract we still have to apply for the rest of the loan. Never done it this way before. Metricon does a lot of things different then what I'm used too. This is our 4th time we are building. Most headaches we have ever had. [/quote] Who did you build with in the past? [/quote] That's not a good sign. What do M do so differently?[/quote] I can't remember exactly but I know we didn't do it that way last time. We had the fixed price we went to selections, tiles, electrical. Took that too the bank. Then we went and signed contract. With m you have to get pre approval before hand before going to electrical and selections . Then it gets added to the contract.

It looks like the stain they applied was correct. It's the first time I've been locked out of the house so I can only peep from the windows: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Good to see that they've installed all the fly screens for the window however it's the wrong colour. Its meant to be surfmist(cream) instead of black: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 437Feb 24, 2017 9:57 pm Looking good as always Vu! Quick question, is that white grout you went with the floor tiling? Did you have to do any sort of special sealing to stop it from getting dirty/discoloured? Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 438Feb 24, 2017 10:18 pm It's actualy grey grout. I'm going to try and seal it when I move in.You can buy a bottle which has a paint brush lid to apply it with. Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 440Feb 24, 2017 11:52 pm Your house looks amazing. We are getting similar tiles to yours. But not as expensive. Its the Bora ones. But our colour coordinator forgot to put it in. Now Our csc Is chasing it up. I loved your tiles since the Bordeaux. $130 a meter by memory very expensive. Is that Hebel you have?
