Do you have an handover date?
Ours was mainly minor touch up that what damaged during the course of the build.
Was pretty happy with the fix for the mosaic tiles in the wet area.

Hi Renman
Does your SM tell you what defects their PCA has picked up. Do you get to see their report?
Does your bank also do an inspection at each payment stage?

I saw a whole bunch of blue stickers around the house and was told that the areas that I questioned (mosaic tiles) would be address.
SM told me they scored her a 99.2% follow the walkthrough.
These blue stickers should be address by the time I have my walkthrough tomorrow and my independent inspector’s walkthrough next week. Once all of our blue stickers are address we should be having the PCI then.
I have an different arrangement with my bank, I took out the whole loan all at once, so the bank doesn’t need to site any completion report, I pay Metricon when I am happy that the work is done.
Thanks Renman. So you do the walkthrough first. then your independent inspector after that only Metricon's PCA?
is that right?
For our slab we did not organise the independent inspector. We are planning to do Frame and slab together.
I was thinking of going with the Inspector. should we do it before the Metricon's PCA after. which is better?

Don’t know he just keeps saying the end of feb. cos the tradies are unpredictable at this stage. A few of them have been holding him up. The baluster guy took his time. Took way too long. Now his waiting on the concrete guy. Which doesn’t seem to be contacting him back. He did get it all levelled out. Or else It would have been done a couple of weeks ago I reckon the drive way.

Hi All,
This is the start of our journey.
Will add/update as I go along.
Here's the plans so far. (These plans were from the PC, a few changes have been made/correct and will be in the final contract)
Structural/Major Changes:
- Hebel panel constuction
- Fully rendered
- Raise garge to line up with ground floor height
- Ground floor 3M ceiling
- First floor 2.7M ceiling
- Adjoining Bathroom between Bedroom 3 & 4
- Powder room added to Bedroom 2
- Store/Mud room added to to garage
- Timber windows to the front of the house
- Upgrade all ground floor Aluminium windows to Series 300
- Cat 6 Caesarstone to kitchen island with 40mm
- Cat 5 Caesarstone to rest of the house with 40mm
- Added an Appliance bench next to the fridge with Cat 5 Caesarstone
- TV cabinet added to Family room with Cat 5 Caesarstone
- 2 Pac shaker profile doors to kitchen, pantry and living room cabinets,all bathroom and ensuite
- Franke sink to kitchen & pantry
- Upgrade shower head to Guest powder room & Master bedroom
- Upgrade toilets to Rimless toilets
- Upgrade freestanding bath
- Upgrade semi-frameless shower screen

- One other major thing we have asked for is to increase the outdoor/alfresco ceiling height to match the roof line (7 Meters). This will make the area more open and reduce the heat in summer and allow more Northern sunlight into the living/dinning areas in Winter.
Hi Renman, just been reading through your blog and amazing home. Would you mind sharing the cost to upgrade your kitchen bench to 40mm cat 6 stone and the shaker profile cabinetry throughout? We’ve just started the process up in QLD and want to try and work out a budget for the kind of home we want to build. Thanks heaps

Hi Orph

Need help to solve the wardrobe issues please
we been told that we can not have high wordrobes frame because our celling height is standard.
our current house celling height is 2450 but our ward robe height is 2300 height.
So I don't understand why M is saying this. may be dependent on who you get.
if you are building with Metricon and if you have a standard celing height but high wardrobe.
then can please give me the details of the variation to see the height details.
This will give us an idea to solve our issues
Thanks

Hi Vuster

we have received $660 for 4.5m long 4 doors, 3320m 3 doors $489. seems to be less.
Thanks Quirmeball,
We are hoping that it turns out the way we envision it.
Surprisingly there's not too many others on here building this same facade as us.

Hi all,
Sorry, have been offline for a while. Busy with building issues and work.
After a few months of issues and escalations we were happy with the house enough to settle yesterday.
How is everyone?

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.…

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.
