[quote="Renman"][quote="Doulton777"]We got nothing for free from them at colour selections. Except when we started building. From their mistakes we got things without paying extra. And it was thousands of dollars. Plus our ss through quiet a few things in. He was amazing. I just can’t believe how easy we had it with him. They rang me up yesterday for feedback. I gave him a 9.5.


They ask me why. I said his whole attitude. Never gave us headaches. Always did things easy no matter if it was a hard thing. He wanted to build a relationship with us. He laughs at all my jokes hahaha. Well I’m kidding I didn’t say that. Even thou he does
. His done so well on the house.


They said would you recommend us to anyone. I said well my daughter is building with you now. But only cos of my ss and my consultant. She said I will note that down.

I said Or else if I was the base it on admin. I definitely wouldn’t. She laughed. I said the last BC is terrible with getting back to us. The other two were better.


Then I told her my ss is an asset too metricon. Metricon need to keep him.

Lucky M hadn't called me up for a rating of our SM.


Renman, how high are your ceilings? Did you get all windows increased for free? We have 2550 ceilings and are looking at asking to have the living/rumpus/study windows increased from 1500mm drop to 1800mm drop, so they come closer to floor (not necessarily raising them up with the ceiling). I am assuming there is a charge for this, but should I be pushing this for free?
Our ground floor ceiling are 3m height. Windows were a free upgrade to 2100mm.

Not sure how high they are off the ground but here's a pic.

Maybe it’s when you do 3 meters then they throw it in?




viewtopic.php?t=86597[/quote]I know a few people that got 2.7m ceilings and got the free upgrade as well.

I was totally surprised and doubled checked it , M never gives anything for free.

I will definitely bring it up with them to see if we get it for free. thanks again Renman! Where are you building?

Oh boy I wish I didn’t see your windows

I want to just cover them.




viewtopic.php?t=86597[/quote]It was a variation upgrade, but was totally worth it.

You can always change it post handover lol.

That’s not fair. They didn’t offer us anything for free. Until we started building and some things had to be changed. They had no option then.

I love those picture windows but I think the cost just as much as stacker doors so I have opted for them instead.

Looks like we might have hand over this week coming up. My ss said he will get his inspector or whatever they are to come in and check it. But he said the house is pretty much all done. Then after the inspector looks through it. We will get a handover day. Which I’m pretty sure it will be next week. Oooh I can’t wait to that day. It will be 10mths for us since we started. We are looking forward to being settled in the house.
