Anyone come across this? Yes, we were told the same thing. It seems crazy that they can't use the same stain. We ended up with: Front door and internal doors: Cabots 'Charcoal' Staircase: Feast Watson 'Black Japan' They are very similar colours, and so we should be able to get away with it.

Hi shokel, Whats the garage door colour you choose ? Hi Wild, our garage door is Monument - to tie in with the Monument roof, gutters, fascia. We have chosen quite dark colours for outside. See pic below. The image is slightly incorrect - it is showing lighter gutters, but these are Monument also, plus the tops of our balcony piers will be rendered also (not white).

Thanks , hopefully it looks good in real life! lol Re: Building with Metricon 7831Sep 13, 2018 12:24 pm Wild How would monument garage door will look with Austral chestnut bricks ? Any ideas regarding garage door colour with chestnut bricks ? I think Monument would suit Chestnut bricks - the good thing with Monument is that it would suit many brick colours. Have you had your external colour appointment yet? They will do a visual mock up of your selections on an ipad so you can see it (that is where my pic above came from). This will give you a good indication of the combination. Re: Building with Metricon 7832Sep 13, 2018 12:30 pm Thanks Shokel, No not yet, I am just trying to make combinations beforehand by looking at different combinations around. just want to have darker colour for front door and garage door, thinking of timberlook with Austral chestnut but combo doesnt look hot because both colours gets merged in to each other or may be lighter colour timber look garage door would do with chestnut ? Monument garage door with chestnut bricks would give a different look, LOL its just me cooking and unsure what to choose.

Anyone come across this? There are stains that are very close though. Our stairs are Black Japan, and our doors are Charcoal, and they're very close We chose Wenge for the garage door, which is close to the charcoal.

Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building with Metricon 7837Sep 16, 2018 8:24 pm deepugjacob Merv Hi all, we are building with Metricon in Sydney and are experiencing delay after delay and it’s only been a few months since we gave the site over. Can other Sydney customers give us some idea if Metricon handed over on time (are there any?!) and if your build went over, how long was the delay from the contracted hand over date? Hi Merv We are building with M in Sydney. From December till date no major work has been done. I got a new SM in December and since then it has been extremely slow. Maybe due to Xmas season. We were expecting Handover by end of this month . But with this rate I can’t see a handover before March. Started construction on June 4th, 2017 we just finalized our paper work with them , it took them more than 8 months to do that . We are hoping to get a SM by end of this month . By the looks of it they will take one year to build it if i am not wrong. I so not want to go ahead. Re: Building with Metricon 7838Sep 16, 2018 8:49 pm Construction started 11.09.17, still no handover. Construction was at full speed until March that's when Fixing invoice was issued, since that point very slow. PCI completed last week finally. Avena Townhomes project in Sydney South-West is being built by M and that project is delayed too. I would definitely check if M is financially sound.
