Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 28, 2020 4:12 pm I have been cross shopping some designs through various volume builders e.g. Metricon, Eden Brae, Clarendon etc. We have settled on a Metricon design and working through pricing estimates. I note a lot of horror stories through various builders however has anyone had a success story with Metricon lately? Don’t expect it to be smooth sailing all the way, however at the moment I am lacking confidence going with M due to all the bad feedback I am finding… Anyone care to share positive stories (or good lessons learned?) Re: Any Metricon success stories? 2Sep 29, 2020 1:22 pm Hi Bcr83 Metricon have been very good for us - albeit an extremely slow admin process due to only one person. When that person was replaced on the admin side of our project everything went smoothly. Metricon started construction of our home in Vic at the beginning of the first lockdown and we're handing over tomorrow. The quality of the build is very good, and we're looking forward to moving in very soon.

I would be there nearly every day and looking to have an ind building inspector sign off at each stage..

Yes, we moved into a rental apartment just around the corner from the build site about a year earlier (during the admin phase) and were able to use our 1h per day exercise to walk by the site daily during lockdown to observe the progress. We also used Darbecca for every stage inspection and they were really excellent. Great value for the money in our opinion. Re: Any Metricon success stories? 5Sep 30, 2020 1:19 pm Probably depends on more which state you're in? I would steer clear if you are in NSW, many bad reviews on here from there.
