Re: Vantage 42 (S-Series) by Metricon in VictoriaGeneral Discussion

Jul 17, 2019 9:00 pm

I used Houspect in Sydney for Metricon build. I found them thorough and good quality. I forwarded each report to metricon and then ask them for comments. Yes they get a bit defensive but that’s natural. The main issue with inspections is that in your contract Metricon assign their own 3rd party cert...

Re my previous comment above, I really hope that when they look at reforms of the building industry in NSW, it isn’t only confined to apartment issues. One of the biggest issues with poor work in residential housing with project builders is that THEY appoint their own certifier, which becomes a conf...

Hi, just joined homeone....nice to be here! Just wondering if anyone has built home with kurmond with their dual living designs? Want to KDRB old home and build, with parents living with us. I like the look of the Evoque Dual. We are in Sutherland Shire, on about 700sqm of land. Thanks!

Hi, I’m building with Metricon too. Have you already got quotes from other suppliers for driveway and landscaping? I have found trying to get quotes for these things is not easy, have to keep asking.

Hi excited. I’m also building with Metricon and very close to finishing. Carpet is going in this week. The certificate of occupancy - I guess that would be interim one, not full one as it looks like you don’t have landscaping and driveway yet, right? My understanding is you get an interim cert if dr...

Your house looks beautiful! Congrats! We are also building with Metricon, in sydney. Vantage 40. Work started on 3rd March, 2018...just did PCI last week, waiting for final handover, so all up about 1 year. A bit long I reckon, given virtually no bad weather during the build. the Fixing stage invoic...

Re: Building Metricon Vantage 38Building A New House

I’m building the Vantage 40 in sydney. Almost finished, just waiting on final handover. Metricon have been good, but in my opinion, slow. They started in March 2018, so almost 12 months, with almost no weather disruptions. We specifically didn’t do a million design changes, thinking this would make ...

I’m also building with Metricon in southern suburbs of Sydney - the Vantage 40. Almost at handover. It’s been 12 month construction, which is a bit slow in my opinion. Overall, fairly happy with things, a few obvious mistakes here n there, which were corrected. My biggest bugbear was that I employed...

I can certainly relate to that! Haha! My understanding is that you can get a temporary occupancy certificate before driveway and landscaping is done. After these are done and everything is compliant with your CDC, then u can get the full occupancy certificate. Im hoping to get a temporary occupancy ...
