Building with Metricon

I just checked my kitchen windows are 2100

I don’t know if they align it as I don’t have any doors in my whole kitchen area except my butlers. Never paid attention to that

We've got 2550 downstairs ceilings and 1800 windows - to be honest, you wouldn't want bigger

The only other full windows are sitting room - already 1800 standard, and master bed sliding door - already 2100. Other windows are half windows in kids bedrooms or smaller windows in kitchen, bathroom etc.

Not sure if you can ask for windows to be aligned with doors. Possibly. Our plans seem to show them roughly centred between floor and ceiling. But hard to tell.

In our experience, M is ok to increase window size to an extent, especially if you are doing brick. The reason is that it’s less labour and cost to fill a space with window than to cover it with brick. I remember we were charged extra for reducing the size of our window cause they needed to do more brickwork

Drew - your windows at the front of the house, Are they also 1800MM ?

Hi, we made a rookie mistake and missed one important upgrade for our build. We didnt realize it was an upgrade until someone highlighted it to us.

We are currently waiting for developer's approval. Can we still make some structural changes e.g. windows? Do any of you have an idea how much a contract variation would cost?

Appreciate your feedbacks.

What did you miss which requires addition ?

Window upgrade.

Do you need to make them larger?

Need to change the type.. currently we have two windows with space in between.. need to change it to just one window with multiple trosoms

I guess all you can do is ask. But if you have already signed your contract you may be charged $1500 for the variation plus cost of windows.

Yes, i've emailed our CSC too.. can't believe we missed it. That $1500 could be spent on something else... but it's one of the most important features of the house so i cant let it go either. Thanks for your feedback!

I called the CSC and she mentioned that they don't normally allow changes after the contract has been signed but she will still check and get back. She was a bit rude too.. was surprised of her attitude today, she seemed nice when we first met her.

Good luck!

We have 2700 ceiling. But I’m starting to think that maybe I’m getting mixed up. Maybe I should have just changed the framing too 300 series it makes it look much prettier. As they told us all is does is change the frame not the size.

Hi everyone
Does anyone know the cost for upgrading to an additional hot water system? We are building a 2 story house with 3 showers and M have just informed us we will need this upgrade

They would offer a heat pump. Around $1k.

We've got a Glendale 45 with 3 showers and 1 solar hot water with instant gas booster

Looking for opinion guys, I am stuck to make a decision between these tiles, Any Input would be great.
