Metricon Metro 32 KDRB Bayside Melbourne
Page 1 of 27
We signed and paid initial deposit in February 2016 and recently signed our preliminary contract in June.
Had our colour and electrical appointments on 28th & 30th June (I'll post pics shortly).
We had a bit of a shock at prelim contract signing with our costs increasing by $30k due to slab upgrades, OHS requirements and parking permits for the tradies!! Unfortuneatly that has mean't we will have to put our pool dreams on hold for now.
We have a narrow block of just 12.3m so that made it very difficult finding a volume builder with plans that would suit. We spoke with a few boutique style builders but the prices were way too high.
The Metro 32 fits on narrow blocks of just 10m and the floor plan is versatile enough for us the our 3 kids.
Now we just have to get through the rest of the admin stage, demolish and get the new build started!!....can't wait!

Very nice selections - I especially love the brick and external colours!
I will post plans and pics later tonight
We are still in admin phase....waiting for report and consent approval from council before we move out and knock down....however our 270 days is fast running out so we'll see how that plays out!

Paint colour is: Lexicon Quarter for ceiling and White on White for the walls, internal doors, skirts and arcs. We'll use art to bring in some colour. I also love to change stuff around regularly when I get bored so didn't want to lock any colours in that I may have to change later! Lol.

We are putting a gas log fireplace in the living room. The ensuite we have added a door to the entrance, removed the door from the toilet and replaced the wall between toilet and shower with a glass panel (shown longer than it will be on the plans).
I'm looking forward to getting our final plans through.
We've also made the laundry cupboards bigger by using the voids on the sides.

Did you make any changes/upgrades to the kitchen? and how much did they quote you for it?
Wow plans look great.

We have made a few changes/upgrades...
Kitchen bench is wider and we've added cupboards to the back of the bench.
Upgraded to 40mm stone and I think it's cat 4 but it's not shown in the PC, it's on a variation.
Added pot drawers, added doors above fridge, added a pantry cupboard next to the fridge for extra storage.
Upgraded our sink to an Oliveri undermount sink.
Upgraded to 2x 600mm Electrolux ovens and 900mm black glass gas cooktop
We're having no handles on all overhead cupboards and the under bench cupboards and drawers will have hidden handles.
Window splash back in kitchen and butlers pantry.
I think that's it...

Impressive! So would you say ~$10k to do these kitchen upgrades?

What staircase are you getting with your build?
Hi Vantage,
We are having timber treads and open risers, concealed wall stringer on left hand side and a black steel zigzag stringer on the right with patch glass fitted balustrade.
I will find a pic of something similar for you to see....

Envious of how big your laundry is. Ours had to be shrunk after we tried fitting in the guest bedroom downstairs. I'm starting to regret not having a window at the entry hallway to allow more light in. Hopefully my entrance door and sidelights would provide sufficient light. I notice you've gone for the 1200mm pivot door. How amazing. Any sidelights?
I wish I could make the laundry bigger! Lol....with 3 kids, I need it to be big!
I was able to make my linen cupboard wider and add sliding doors to save space
Yep, went for the pivot. We've gone with a solid timber door with 1 side light. Going for a mid century design look....hope I can pull it off, lol.
The picture window in the entrance I've changed since we were given those plans too....I made it bigger! We've had to make pretty much all our windows double glazed due to the amount of glass we have!

Ok, check out this link....
Pretty much the same as this but I'm undecided on timber species yet and stain colour.
Also finalizing the handrail.
Minus the red pillar too....I don't want that
