We also have a builder signed and have the same plan to build ASAP. We went with Metricon but there are some very nice designs/builder's out there! Its sad but think i will miss walking through display homes! But the up side is that we will have our dream house. It looks like a great estate and it w...

We to are down near the bottom of the estate also, we are on greenhaven drive. Henley homes are nice! They were in our top 3, I liked the display houses which are up the road . We to are going double story! It also increases the back yard for the kid even though the park is just 30 to 40m away. The ...

Hey neighbor....lol. I dont no if they have done any soil test as i haven't asked. Our lady a metricon submitted our plans and the front garden design with fence last week. It came back as I had to include the front fence on the front veiw of the house plans. With the garden i had to show the plant ...

I do agree. I would have at least said 1200mm. When you do drive around through other estate without front fences i do like the idea of the fence as it will finish off the estate. It makes it nice and neat

'Rough in' is were they install your cables in the walls before the plaster sheets go up

I have been following this post as im just down the road. Maybe there is a story here for A Current Affairs? People power.

Once you have titled there's usually a two weeks gap before settlement day, this is for yourselfs and the banks to get sorted. The title office averages 2 weeks for title but this also could blow out a little bit.

Hi APB09, We have titled on our lot ! So, i would be guessing you have as well, have you? Now the fun part to start!!!

The land was finished 14/12/16 (no more work from the developer). The developer handed the paperwork to the titles on the 2nd of February and we received titles on the 27/2. Then 2 weeks more for settlement to take place.

Hi, I spoke with Metricon today to ask and they have already received soil test and surveys on the property – only waiting on further service information and Title on the land. Title would have to be near! Did you mention to Henley that they can submit the plans to the developer anytime ( as long as...

Yep, we also settle yesterday! I spoke to Metricon and they were looking to finalize everything, waiting on some services, could be the same things? But looking to hand it over to their construction team mid to late April. So i would estimate that we would ......possibly...... start mid May. Hoping ...

Hi, I have been watching for a while, you have a very nice house coming together. What colour grout was used for your tiles?

I agree with you and you are the one paying to build the house. If the grout was white then its fair enough. Unless the silicone default colour is white and you were not told you can change this colour. I do feel metricon aren't the best at telling you about all your choices. It look nice but a matc...

The question that needs to be asked is ......can you look passed it or is it going to eat you up? If you can look past it - its silicone and it looks fine and does its job. Or you can ask to change it

Hey, did you also try the tile aisle in bunnings? They have some silicone called 'Maxisila ceramic' and they also have a range of colours

Could i ask what is PCI? Thanks in advance.

Could i ask what is PCI? Thanks in advance. PCI is supposed to be final walkthrough when everything is finished and you mark any issues for them to fix prior to handover. Ours was so big that we have to do PCI again once they have fixed everything up. Hoping there won't be many issues picked up at ...

Hi, Thanks, Just did! Metricon call me today to tell me of this one off 'payment'. So, all I have left is to wait for the final Metricon house drafting drawings and the final sign off on our inside colours. The drawings will be the ones that will be submitted to Hume for a building permits. Did you ...

So true. Let's hope its all good news! We had to extend the front of the house as it was only 600mm in front of the garage not the 1000mm that they wanted. 2400mm was the standard size of the bottom floor roof height, we needed to raise to meet the 2550mm requirements. They were the biggest changes ...
