Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 21, 2017 10:58 am Hi, I am new to this forum and have signed up hoping that we could get some tips and tricks on our new build. We are planning on knocking down our 1950s red brick home and building a new Metricon Liberty 45 design home. I would be grateful and especially keen to hear from those who have been through the same process and decided to build a similar design home with Metricon. Thanks Michelle Re: Metricon Liberty 45 Carlingford 2Apr 29, 2017 11:56 pm Hi Michelle! Welcome to the forum, I am nearing the end of my build journey with Metricon. I too knocked down a house to build the Liberty 45 or Hampshire as they call it in VIC and QLD now. Details of my build can be found in my signature link below. There's also another handful of others on here doing the same. I'm sure it won't be long before you get a hang of these forums and find all sorts of useful information regarding the build process with Metricon. Re: Metricon Liberty 45 Carlingford 3May 03, 2017 12:06 pm Hi Michelle, we are building nearby in Ryde. Happy to help - there's already a wealth of information on the forum about Metricon and similar builds.

Re: Metricon Liberty 45 Carlingford 6Jul 06, 2017 2:41 pm Hi All Thanks for the offer of advice and help. We really appreciate it. We are accepting our tender with Metricon soon. We are building the Liberty 45 in Carlingford. Our tender price came back about $507K which I thought was quite good. We didn't do any upgrades to the façade though, just the Aspire.Did everyone's price come back about the same? Also we have to go through DA process with council with our build. We are concerned that this will take at least 3 months to be approved. What was everyone's experience? If there are delays with council then it has some bearing on our fixed contract period (because Metricon will only fix it for 8 months from when we initially paid the initial $1,500 to kick this all off back in April). Would love to know what everyone's experience has been? Re: Metricon Liberty 45 Carlingford 7Jul 07, 2017 11:25 pm Were you given an option to do Complying Development? It's normally quicker than DA approval. We went for DA approval because we wanted to get the garage exemption from the floor space ratio. We ended up being 2 months over as our neighbours had privacy objections and Council made us flip the house around so the living room windows faced the other side.
