They wouldn't allow us to change the colour and has been painted the same colour as the ceiling. By the time we received our keys the timber cracked and it is quite visible. It should really be covered with fc sheeting. Our Phoenix Build: http://ourphoenixbuild.wordpress.com/ Re: Building with Metricon 771Dec 08, 2015 8:52 am sydfam @mel, we had the same issue.

If the timber cracked is it then a structural warranty issue which M needs to fix? @ Orph build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)!

Poor workmanship and building standard. Re: Building with Metricon 773Dec 08, 2015 9:14 am Mel sydney sydfam @mel, we had the same issue.

Poor workmanship and building standard. Our build was supposed to finish mid September and we only got our keys last Friday! So we were desperate to move in. We will definitely raise it during our 90 day service period. I have been holding off writing a review about Metricon as we have been busy trying to get our keys and dealing with other major defects. But I have to say we have been very disappointed with the quality of our new house. They used inexperienced tradies throughout the whole build. This and a not a very good building supervisor resulted in 87 defects raised during PCI! We would definitely not go with Metricon should we ever decide to build again.

Same as mine and i had gone enough pain with this house.(first house) As i told my previous blog, they are using same contractors which involved to other builders. Different is M offering different promotion. Yesterday DL called for final tile payment and gave my card details. They deducted full amount including 10% payment again. (Lucky i checked my previous payment) Now i have to wait 5-6 days to credit back my Adtional 10% payments. Useless accountant..... Re: Building with Metricon 775Dec 08, 2015 4:09 pm Question all, the deposit that we paid throughout the process - do they get deducted from the final price at the end? Say I hv paid $5k, and my final contract says $400k, does it mean the balance becomes 395k?
