Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building the Duxton with Metricon in Melbourne 26Jan 06, 2014 9:21 pm Hi Thanks for the update. I was wondering how you went. Seems like a lot of hard work to get to the stage that you are happy. Building inspectors are great to have on your side. It is difficult some times to understand what is acceptable and what isn't. Great to hear that it is all progressing though. When is your contract date? Our house is at fixing stage they are getting ready for painting. We have had a few small issues but nothing that could not be fixed by talking to our ss. We are still waiting for our kitchen window to be fixed but we know that it won't happen until all the trades are back after the 13th. Our contract date is April 2 and our old house settles April 4. So I hope it is on time or early !! Good luck with the next phase of your build Re: Building the Duxton with Metricon in Melbourne 27Feb 23, 2014 3:48 pm Hi Back Pocket, not long to go! Yes makes a BIG difference if you have a good SS. What happened with your kitchen window??? Guess what? Our SS resigned! After the Christmas break and a 2-week holiday after that, he comes back and resigns! Now it all makes sense - the not returning calls, not answering emails, not calling for weekly updates. He's also gone ahead and told me some fixes were not required because the engineers have said so and that he's got paperwork to back that up, but he hasn't handover anything of the sort to the new SS. Another tangled-up issue to work through. On a brighter note, our new SS has been really good so far. He responds to my phone calls and emails within a day or two. And he's been very helpful trying to sort out the issues that were left behind. Hopefully, all will go smoothly from this point forward. Will keep everyone up to date! Thanks for reading and all the encouraging words Re: Building the Duxton with Metricon in Melbourne 28Jan 12, 2015 6:02 pm @zebulun11: I would recommend you to send email to big M and tell them to either fix these major issues or provide engineering documentation which is verified by your independent inspector.
