Browse Forums Building A New House  16 Aug 2020 8 Junior Member 1 Aug 22, 2020 5:28 pm hi all. We are thinking of building for the very first time in Sydney South West and hoping to go with Metricon homes. We are looking for advise and suggestions that we should be aware of before the whole process starts. Anyone who has build with Metricon pls let us know what we should know. The whole process seems exciting yet terrifying at the same time. 07 Aug 2020 26 Junior Member Re: Building with Metricon 2Aug 23, 2020 3:21 pm Hi Ross, I am from QLD..If you want to do research about Quality vs Price then below link has some good info.. https://www.stroudhomes.com.au/building-basics/?region=brisbane-south-acreage I am building here in QLD & It is lock up stage.
