I was promised an updated final invoice a month ago which hasnt materialised, no response to email and cant get hold of via the phone. We did PCI in early September so we're pretty keen for a hand over date.

Ended up going via our accounts person who I happen to know from outside of M. Instant response from our BSC and we now have our final invoice.

Geez, I would have gone apesh1t at the BSC, once you finally heard from them. Just not good enough - ignoring your calls and emails. Glad you now have it - fingers crossed you have keys soon!

Our Bayside KDR Thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78298 Re: Building with Metricon 8036Oct 20, 2018 4:52 pm Hi all, we are very early in the process (as in, we haven't even bought land yet...) but was hoping to get some info about a couple of things. 1) We are looking at building the Merricks 38, base price $298000 - if we budget $450000 for construction costs + most site works (understanding that of course all land is different) is that a good buffer? 2) What is the rough guide for the payment installments? Is it worked on a percentage, or set amounts? I also have a lot of questions about upgrade options etc. but I don't want to flood the page!! We are VERY excited, and want to be super prepared before we jump in to the process - realistically we probably won't even start the process for another year or so, but forewarned is forearmed!

Good luck with finding land and starting your new build! I think you should be ok with your budget - it will just depend your chosen upgrades. We are about to build the Glendale 42 which has a base price of $320,000 with our chosen facade, and with all upgrades chosen, our final price is $576,000 including site costs. This also includes some big ticket items like refrig cooling ($20K), lots of 600x600 tiling ($30K) and a separate brick garage in backyard ($15.5K). Everything else were fairly standard upgrades (although we didn’t spare any expense when selecting tapware, handles and other fittings). You will need to pay 5% upon signing final contract, and then % instalments throughout the build at completion of each major stage. Re: Building with Metricon 8039Oct 21, 2018 12:47 am Who's building you a brick garage for $15k? The best quote we had was $60, and that was with me supplying the bricks!!!

The best quote we had was $60, and that was with me supplying the bricks!!! Metricon. It’s only a single. 6x4. On slab, pitched roof, roller door, swing door and window, access to power and lights. We need it as a shed for hubby’s toys and tools. We thought the price was pretty good and meant we didn’t have to muck around later getting permits and building it ourself.
