I looked at this when planning our custom build but never got quotes. Do M offer this as an option? What did 5k cover?

The neighbours have been complaining and it’s starting to get nasty. I tried installing sound insulation materials that I bought from the below company but hat has been useless. http://thesilencer.com.au/air-condition ... roofing-2/ Is anyone in the same boat and what did they do?

We have our signing appointment on Saturday and we only had 5 days to review plans and 4 days to review contract. Several things were wrong with both and we have raised these issues with M. They have said they will write up the variations but can’t guarantee we will we then by Saturday, but should get them early next week at latest. I am worried about signing and paying deposit Saturday before seeing confirmation of these changes being made. Some of these changes include costs that have increased for stand alone items since quoted in prelim contract. Should we delay appointment?? Re: Building with Metricon 7532Jul 26, 2018 12:49 pm Some of ours were done after our contract was signed.

I’m worrried they may not make the changes to our satisfaction.

Just be careful with variations as they are not very good at cascading them to the ss. They go along building as per contract and later find out there was a variation. Depending on the variation, they might have to rip apart something that was perfect to get it done.

Thanks for the heads up - that is good to keep in mind 👍 Re: Building with Metricon 7536Jul 26, 2018 1:17 pm shokel1975 blackcat20 Some of ours were done after our contract was signed. And did you get all you asked for? I’m worrried they may not make the changes to our satisfaction. Yes we got everything. Just be mindful that there are certain things that are required by the government that obviously they cannot change.

I reckon we should treat these situations like we would do at work: what would the boss say on us signing off a contract at such a stage? Contract is a contract. Re: Building with Metricon 7538Jul 26, 2018 1:32 pm Think of it this way. You sign the contract to get things going. Then you create variations against the contract. This gives you flexibility that even during building you can write variations against the contract as long as they are non-structural. Re: Building with Metricon 7539Jul 26, 2018 2:09 pm We've had no issues with our post contract variations as the final/construction plans are adjusted to match.
Re: Building with Metricon 7540Jul 26, 2018 2:17 pm Same here we had no issues with Post Contract Variations. Just make sure you get a signed copy emailed back to you and keep them all together. The Variations will also appear on the Statement when you receive that (Contract Price + Variations - Amounts Paid).
