Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 187Aug 18, 2015 5:04 pm Tribe7 We don't have the metro range at all, its either designer or home solutions. Ours is designer and to be honest I found the standard inclusion a bit average. The price I gave is the base price with the traditional facade so easily add another 12k on top of the $339,720 for the luxury. Yikes! Love the cantilevered staircase, shambini has one and it looks amazing. Hi Tribe With Designer homes are your standard staircases a better upgrade? Or is it the same standard like other home packages? Thanks Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 189Aug 25, 2015 10:12 pm Hi everyone, Not much happening on progress with our build as it's on hold for now as previously mentioned. However, we have the scheduled contract presentation in 2 weeks time to review the diagrams and final costings. Also we are not in a position to accept the contract due to various external factors atm and also concerned with the 240 days conditions for M to start building otherwise there might be a price review? Any suggestions would be great thanks! build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 190Aug 26, 2015 4:05 am Hi Orpheus, You might be able to get a couple of months extension from M for the contract start date. We were travelling overseas when our 240 days came to an end, so we got an extension (at no extra cost). Obviously you would do this if you think your situation will change by then. Good luck with it, hope your situ changes and you can commence build as planned Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 191Aug 26, 2015 7:08 am Thanks Franky! Should we ask M now or in a couple of months when it's due to expire? build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 192Aug 26, 2015 7:39 am Orpheus - when it came to about a month before expiry we contacted M to request for extension for another month and they were fine with it viewtopic.php?t=76588 Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 193Aug 26, 2015 6:04 pm I've asked M for a 60 extension but no word back yet, have our tender presentation on this 3rd Sept when I'll at least get an answer..... Hopefully. Feel for you Orpheus. Will be sure to let you know if I get the extension. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78995 Build thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78995 Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 194Aug 26, 2015 6:07 pm Thanks everyone for your inputs! build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 195Aug 26, 2015 9:27 pm Hi Orpheus, I think M would be more open to giving you an extension before you pay them the 5% deposit required to secure the contract. We asked for it at tender presentation (so we have only given the $2k odd deposit to the Sales consultant at that point in time). A bit confused is your 240 days expiry almost up in a couple of months? So your initial deposit was paid to the sales consultant 8months ago and you are only at contract presentation stage? Perhaps I am misunderstanding. Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 196Aug 26, 2015 10:31 pm Hi, So we paid M the initial $2k deposit for the soil test and surveys on the 28 March 2015. We accepted the tender on 26 June 2015. And the contract presentation is on 9 Sept 2015. According to the conditions in the contract it says we have 240 days from initial deposit date (28/03) for contract to become "unconditional" (does this mean builder start putting the slab on?) This would bring the 240 days timeframe to 23 Nov 2015. Also it states if date is btw 240 and 365 days then current price list will apply. Only after 365 days then the price list will be reviewed? Please see below for conditions: http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/Liem_Nguyen/Mobile%20Uploads/Screenshot_2015-08-26-22-33-02.png build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 197Aug 27, 2015 4:57 am I thought "unconditional" meant that you must have all the approvals (finance, council/CDC, demo etc). It doesnt mean that the slab must be down but just all approvals are complete and your file is ready to be handed over to the construction team. Between 240-365 days just the base house price will be changed but after 365 days then they will review the price of everything in the contract aswell as the base house price. Better to just ask for an extension Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78449 Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 198Aug 27, 2015 5:11 am Yep that's right Phoenix rose, we just need to get the file to the construction team by the 240days. After that M have 20-21 days to commence build viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 199Aug 27, 2015 6:40 am I'm still confused? I don't think it mentioned or differentiate btween base price or price of upgrades? The wording is contract price so I gather that's means all costs? So the condition say no price change if b tween 240-365 then we have until end of March 2016 before being at risk of a contract price review (and most likely price increase)? build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! 200Aug 27, 2015 10:30 am My read on it was between 240 and 365 days the base price will increase as well as any increase to promotions (I got the Love lux package for free) The base prices went up on July 6th (don't have the new price list yo hand but it wasn't a small increase) Get the extension mate, peace of mind and time to get all the approvals sorted. Agree with above you just need approvals, demo done and site handed over to M to start works: Of course if the delay is due to M there's no change to price. I've been keeping a log of calls/comms and delays so I can raise if it gets to that. viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78995 Build thread - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78995 Hi, First of all, thank you to this community for sharing your thoughts and opinions.
