Feeling much better about this choice and I hope it looks just as good as the others we have seen. This will mean our brick is only a Cat 2 upgrade rather than a Cat 4 which is also nice! Our Sales lady has redone the plan and sent it through to us for checking, it's perfect - thank god!

Have been meaning to change that for a while. Our Blog: http://werelivingthedream2.tumblr.com Re: Metricon Barkly 29 - Selections done + a little bit of d 24Aug 07, 2014 7:23 pm Arghhh! Offer of network connection from Ergon today. Initial date given for connection being available.....February 2015. I told the lady that that doesn't really work for me!! The worst part is that if they say that's the end of it and it will be February we have no other options, Ergon has to do the work and we're pretty much at their mercy. Really hoping that further conversations will help us find out if this is a worst case scenario date or likely to be the earliest we'll have it.

In not so good news the date for power is going to be Jan at best (providing we pay straight away) and Feb date if we don't get bumped up. Ah well.

We've just about had enough of our experience so far. We've been very patient and trying to keep our eyes on the prize but at this point we are seriously considering our options. I am awaiting an e-mail and then will be calling to discuss our issues in depth because this is simply not good enough. It's really disappointing because we are really happy with our plan and what our home will be like when it's finished but so far our experience with the initial process has not been the best. It's a real shame because we love the Metricon homes and their finishes but this just can't keep going on like this for the entirety of the rest of our build.

Information not being provided when requested and then they call and say come and sign your contract, don't think so! We STILL do not have site costs, HSTP costs or Studio M costs despite all these occurring 3 weeks ago and multiple requests that have not been acknowledged. Then being told that they wouldn't do something they had already previously agreed to, managed to resolve that one but now they are going to charge some ridiculous amount that makes it prohibitive anyway. There will be one long phone call happening tomorrow morning to try and resolve the problem but it is just so frustrating at this point. It's not like I e-mail them every two days and I really feel that 5 days with no acknowledgement or response to an e-mail is just unacceptable. I can't imagine dealing with this while actually building. I really really hope we can come to a resolution because I really love my house!

If they were to allocate you a different Csc or sales person that might help??

I will be calling them this morning to discuss it and I really hope we can sort it all out. Our Blog: http://werelivingthedream2.tumblr.com Re: Metricon Barkly 29 - Selections done + a little bit of d 35Aug 15, 2014 12:44 pm Good luck K and T, I hope M are able to resolve the issues and you are able to go ahead with your home. We are having similar issues with M ourselves. Re: Metricon Barkly 29 - Selections done + a little bit of d 36Aug 15, 2014 2:33 pm Well i'm feeling much better now. Have called Metricon to discuss our concerns and am very happy that they were very understanding and have allocated us a new CSC who will be calling this afternoon to see if we can sort out our other problems. I was very happy with the way that they listened to what I had to say and that they were more than happy to address the problem immediately. Lincoln29 might be worth giving them a call and asking to speak to the manager, I'm glad we did this and didn't just keep going the way we have been. I feel that things can now hopefully get back on the right track. Our Blog: http://werelivingthedream2.tumblr.com Re: Metricon Barkly 29 - Selections done + a little bit of d 37Aug 15, 2014 3:28 pm True to their word our new CSC has contacted me this afternoon. She's absolutely lovely and absolutely on the ball, feeling much much better now and even better than all that - she's sending us the info that we wanted!! Our Blog: http://werelivingthedream2.tumblr.com Re: Metricon Barkly 29 - Selections done + a little bit of d 38Aug 15, 2014 9:32 pm great news K. hopefully smooth sailing from here then its amazing how much things change from person to person. can have a useless sales guy, an ok admin, and a great site super, or any combination of that.

We might follow your lead and request another CSC. I'm not sure if we can get away just communicating with our SS throughout construction.
