Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 11, 2009 5:52 pm Hi all, I am new to this site and it looks very informative. I am building the s@ntor1ni with M3tr1con in the western suburbs of victoria. I was very impressed with the sales consultants, but I get the impression that once you're in, they do not care. Very frustrated with my CSC. Anyway, the slab is about to get poured next week and my CSC contacted me today to tell us that the brick we had initially chosen is not being made anymore (goldf1eld haze from selkirk). Now I have to choose another brick but have to pay $800 to be able to do so... Can anyone help me out here? Can they do that?

We have actually called the supplier and they said that bricks will be available in another 2 months. So we have decided that the wait would be too long (house already at lock up stage with no bricks at the moment) and to upgrade the brick and after many discussions with builder, they have agreed to meet provide the upgrade at no extra cost *Sigh* Re: Problems with brick supplier 4Oct 24, 2009 11:12 pm That's a good result! An upgrade at no extra cost I dont know why they wanted to charge you $800 to change the brick though If anything, M should have asked you to pick another brick in the same category at no extra charge - but an extra charge for an upgrade. I am not a brick expert, but rendering would be 1 option, it would be costly to do the entire house though.... 2 6683 Hi all, has anyone been ask to do the weeds in their property while in the middle of build?
