Re: Building with Metricon 4833Mar 09, 2017 3:37 pm Just got an updated estimate from our sales consultant and he said that Metricon are now offering insulation between ground and first floor. I assume he means a cheaper non hebel powerfloor. Hallelujah! Re: Building with Metricon 4834Mar 10, 2017 10:51 am Metricon Melb build. Anyone here adding an additional waste point in their wet area (having a drain in bathroom area) in Melb/Vic? It's a standard in Qld but I have requested this in Melb as a variation and have come back that their construction team don't/won't do it.

Sales guy told us it was due to some nationalities/cultures pouring buckets of water over the floors for cleaning and expecting the drain to take it all away and then damaging floors/flooding etc. and wanting to claim that as damage via M.

Seems crazy to me. Luckily metricon do flush shower bases, so water flooding will have a low point to drain to. Their answer was that they didn't want to raise the bathroom floor. But if they are already doing flush Shower bases then why not add an additional waste point and in most cases only 1M away.
