Just stumbled across this. My fiancé and I are a month away from getting our keys. We also built the denver 45, modified and extended the design. If anyone is interested in feed back or need advice, let me know and I’m more than happy to email photos or elaborate on metricon.. 🤦🏻 Hi Platty, would l...

Our home was bigger than the set plan. We completed our floor covering after we took handover, as it was $15k cheaper to do so. Cost of blinds will be cheaper. I got drapes through the main front rooms of the house and the bedrooms and that was about $23k. At hand over the cost of our home was about...

Just under $600k

H, LOL would I do it again probably not. We fell in love with the design of this house that's why we built it. Though Metricons customer service isn't great.

I just stumbled upon your journey and started going through all the posts. I then realise that you are building in a very familiar place. That is my grandparents prope...

They called this mistake a “design detail” and refused to fix it until they were forced to. sounds like we weren't t...

Thank you. can't remember exactly as we made quite a few changes. I think around the 50k mark but that was for all our structural changes. Thanks not too bad really given the changes to your plan! If it weren't for the Admin issues that Metricon have they would be a great builder but unfortunately ...

:(We had a massive hole cut out of one of the bedroom walls to fix a big mistake of forgetting a hot water service! But was repaired and looks like there was never a hole there! We did our walk through about a week ago and stuck blue tape everywhere that needed to be fixed, most of it was paint work...

Hi, Septic you might be able to do your self, call some plumbers to give you a quote. The rest I’m not sure. Hubby is an electrician so he has organised our power to the house. Can’t help you with gas and water as we have that too our property.
