Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 28, 2015 3:36 pm Have just spoken with a salesman and liked what they had to offer. A bit concerned that he was pushing their special deal running at the moment ($10,000) to spend on upgrades which he claimed was finishing tommorrow. However, now home and reading the fine print it says 'spend $999 and receive $10,000 of upgrades', then in really fine print 'only available on deposits paid after 20/3/2015'??? So if its finishing tommorrow then the deal only lasted for one week???? Also they have some pretty terrible reviews but some of these are quite old so have they improved? We were impressed with house designs and finishes etc, and they are the first ones we've spoken to who have said they know the area and are prepared to give us a fixed price on siteworks, but they do seem to have a few more 'issues' then some of the other companies out there.

We are just about finished building with them and have been very happy with all stages of the process. There have been issues, but that is expected with any build. We have always found the staff responsive and the quality of the build good. I would not be too concerned about specials. It seems that most sales people at all builders try to apply pressure to get you to pay a non refundable deposit, otherwise you will miss out on a sale or have a price increase.

Extremely knowledge and willing to explain all the processes required. If you would like a set date for the special then contact the head office within your state and ask how long it will be running for, then you will have a straight answer. In regards to fixed price site works, that is a huge advantage, site costs can be extremely expensive but having it locked in means there is no extra costs or worry. We have a fixed priced contract for everything and knowing we don't have to worry is a huge relief. Re: Metricon-Experiences Please 4Mar 30, 2015 9:53 am We're in discussions with them now. Our salesperson showed us the $10,000 Studio M spend deal but we feel the air con and Ceasar Stone upgrade offer is better for us. Our salesperson is great, very warm and friendly, not at all pushy and responds fast, nothing is too much trouble. And he was very sweet with our kids who were being less than patient during our meeting with him on Saturday. He's in North Brisbane and I'd recommend him to anyone in this area.
