Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Metricon Bordeaux 39 25Aug 21, 2016 4:50 pm gwu69 Hi, it had been a year since we moved in Bordeaux 50 plus an extra room. We are happy with the construction process with minor incidents only, we were same to be unsure Metricon since a lot of negative reviews online. However, Bordeaux is the display home match our requirements closely, then we decided to take risk. In the end, it was better process than we expected. We did have few things missing out, such as Kitchen window height was a upgrade; then shorter than display. We didn't build the same specification as display, but adding an extra room with balcony, 57 sq. We had more than $200,000 more than basic due to upgrade and extra space. It only took them 8 months to hand over and that include Christmas break and delays, actual time claimed to be 4 months building. It did require a good organisation skill from project manager, we had minor disagreement with him in the end since he didn't like our own inspector picking on minor scratches. Our sales Melissa from Balwyn display, Melbourne is very good, always reply in time. We had roof leak and PM claimed that caused by roof tile moved by others, and minor leaking from upstair toilet, they fixed right away. Just make sure that communication with supporting staff, find out what your need early rather than make a variation during construction. I will give them 8 out 10. Elctrical is a bit tricky, we didn't get the switch and powerpoint in the right positions such as bedside. Central vacumm need to be checked as a 9m hose would not reach in some corners, some points in the walls where we will be using. Just check out this site http://www.anewhouse.com.au. $4 checklist and tips help you through the process, it would make your life a lot easier. Brian is a knowledgeable person you can ask question.
