But the main variation I wanted was to increase the height of my outdoor room to the top floor and close it up with walls which will create a void like in the following pictures. But my sales consultant told me it was not possible "as that is something that a only custom builder could accommodate but unfortunately we are not a custom builder and we are unable to alter the plans that much."
I find it puzzling when I see so many people building with Metricon making so many changes, yet it's impossible for me to increase the height for an outdoor room to the top floor (which should be easier than all the other internal changes I've seen other people do) and build walls around it. Can anyone advice?
I've been told by some people on facebook building groups and a former employee that my change is very simple and should be do-able. I even approached small independent builders about the addition I wanted to make and they actually told me to just ask Metricon to do it.
I did purchase it as a house and land package but have been advised that it shouldn't make a difference.
My unit is a corner unit, however it is separated form the next house by a road, a stretch of trees (it's a small park walkway?) and another road. So I don't believe it would have been a privacy issue.
Any input would be very much appreciated. I would very much like to settle this soon. Thanks guys!

Personally I wouldn’t have signed a contract to build until my variations were okayed, but that’s just me.
