So we pay the price for their past mistakes. This could get them bad press again. As now they are over charging. viewtopic.php?t=86597 I agree, I know after being told that I wouldn't be choosing them. Yeah it's not right. After everything they put us through. The big jack up in the price for site cost. As well as the prices they charge for selections. Way over. In fact I just bought a sink from this place that sells to m. The same sink that m will put in our house. Is $149 through this place. And m is charging us $450 per each sink. That just shows you what their mark up is viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 449Apr 26, 2017 12:13 am Renman When I asked my consultant about the waffle slab issue, they told me that it depends on the land. For those land that had issues they are increasing the tolerance level so that it won't happen again. I think that's an excuse. They do it for everyone. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 450Apr 26, 2017 6:31 am I went with another builder due to M site costs. We paid $14000 all up in site costs which included h class slab $3800, saline soil $3200, additional piering, deepened edge beams, concrete pump and additional cut and fill $7000. We are a new build on a flat block (just as a comparison) majestic35.weebly.com Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 451Apr 26, 2017 7:28 am Doulton777 Yeah it's not right.

Many of their suppliers, eg lighting, have constant sales of 25-40% off yet M's price list never changes...

Let me know your thoughts. Build update. Result from the underpinning probe concluded that we don't need to have underpinning done. That's a saving of $11K We upgraded to the new digital Actron QUE aircon which means we drop down to a 19kW systems but save $3k Good news is that if we signed off on all our variations, we should get the final updates with go to site price this week or early next week. Just hoping that other site cost drops a bit as well. 🤞 Metricon said that they should be able to building by the end of the month. Glad that it's about to start. Worried that that they building through Winter soon. Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 454May 08, 2017 5:53 pm That's some good news indeed!

They should really give more discounts for people who go over $100,000 I reckon. viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 Melb 459May 08, 2017 10:55 pm I think it's the opposite.

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 19881 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 14152 |
