Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2182Feb 05, 2017 3:18 pm kylz4 Definitely going stained! Not sure what price is, they sent email yesterday saying that there would be a cost of $1111 if we wanted stained margins running up the stairs, I thought stairs had been made so thought I'd missed chance for this but since they offered that when I was just talking about first floor stuff I may as well jump on it lol. They didn't put a cost for first floor to have stain down the bottom though so I just sent two pics through to clarify exactly what we want and hopefully they can get it right lol Woah, we asked this specific question during sales because we were comparing M inclusions with another builder, and the Sales Coordinator said it will be the same as the downstairs balustrade and not a wall. Its quite frustrating ? Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2183Feb 05, 2017 4:38 pm Definitely double check plans! We completely missed it and just assumed it was going to be the nice balustrade but another person on this forum got the wall and when I checked plans it was wall Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2184Feb 06, 2017 11:06 am Just having a quick look at our online client portal thing and it has us down for painting complete by the 8th, tiling commencing the 9th, fit offs complete by 16th and a clean booked for 20th. So do those in the know what is included in fit offs? Taps, basins, electrical, heat vents, shower heads, mirrors???? Then once clean happens what is next? I'm pretty sure they do a few cleans along the way don't they?

Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2187Feb 06, 2017 10:11 pm Hi Kylz, with your kitchen tower, did they have to shorten your appliance benchtop to accommodate the tower? Or was that space in addition to the standard benchtop space? Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2188Feb 06, 2017 10:34 pm We extended bench as the LE Glendale has shorter appliance bench than standard and then put the appliance tower in Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2189Feb 07, 2017 6:57 am Had a phone call yesterday to say that blinds are being measured up today only issue is that we selected face mount option to block more light, will be hidden by sheers or pelmets eventually anyway, however, because fir some reason they have done our family room window as a plaster reveal it has no frame fir the blind to attach to so has to sit inside. I hope it doesn't look silly being the only one different I think because that area will only have dining stacker and family room window both visible but far enough apart it 'should' look ok!?!? Annoying thing is that I picked up plaster reveal thing saying family window on the contracts and was told it meant for kitchen window, but now they've done family one! Anyone else have this?

Annoying I know, so excited for blinds, makes me think it's nearing the end once they go in lol Plaster reveal was added into our prelim contract and when questioned they said it was for kitchen but now they've done the family, doh Oh no to fc sheet! Which window is that on? Is it an obvious one? So hard to remember every single thing!

Didn't click at time but thought 'hang on, that's $634 for them the just put a door on if they don't. Checked contract and it says it should be plastered in there! Gotta be on them!! Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2195Feb 08, 2017 11:14 am Yeah I thought the 600aud option would cover all sides of the understair storage. Kylz, what are your standard powerpoint inclusions? My drawings indicate double powerpoints but apparently the contract says single powerpoints throughout?

Just checked and you are right, the LE inclusions say single powerpoints throughout but my plans all show them as doubles!

Pffttt typical, be on them alright. Apparently they don't do the floor on some homes as well so ask flooring guys nicely to do in there as well. that's if u want one Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2198Feb 08, 2017 3:28 pm Yes I found that out in our studio m appointment! Was not impressed!!!! They were charging about $300 to do floor in there but I think when we changed our flooring category and they did the final contract they structured the pricing differently and I don't think the cost went in there. Pretty sure it is on plans though! Better check lol Re: Building Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Geelong 2199Feb 08, 2017 3:32 pm Now need to work out our balustrade for balcony! Piers look too short, and I mentioned it to sm months ago but he said glass would come higher than piers and the metal pole that runs behind the glass would connect to timber post instead of pier. After checking plans the pole is supposed to attach to pier and the pier is supposed to be higher than glass. SM told build advocate that the plans were updated to what he had told us but we've never signed off in anything!!! No rest fir the wicked hey!
