Forum Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 8121Nov 26, 2018 11:41 am I'd also prioritise the double glazing, it makes such a huge difference. The temperature in our house barely fluctuates. Re: Building with Metricon 8122Nov 26, 2018 11:47 am  blackcat20I'd also prioritise the double glazing, it makes such a huge difference. The temperature in our house barely fluctuates. That is great to know! I'm glad Hubby convinced me at the last minute to do it  Re: Building with Metricon 8124Nov 26, 2018 11:58 am  WildThanks guys, Does the front door and the stacker door also get double glazed ? They cost extra. Re: Building with Metricon 8125Nov 26, 2018 12:06 pm A tip for anyone with the BD garage door. Tie up or remove the hand pull rope attached, otherwise you risk it catching on the roof of your vehicle. We're now having to replace the damaged lower panel after it caught on our ute (which cleared the height no issues). Re: Building with Metricon 8126Nov 26, 2018 12:10 pm WildThanks guys, Does the front door and the stacker door also get double glazed ? Our stacker is going to be double glazed, but for some reason they didn't include the front door or sidelights. Only picked up on this after final contract signed.

We didn't bother with the front door give how little glass there is. Yeah, I wasn't overly bothered when I discovered this. Re: Building with Metricon 8130Nov 26, 2018 1:28 pm WildLaundry Glass sliding door ? We didnt do ours as the internal door is usually closed. Re: Building with Metricon 8131Nov 26, 2018 1:39 pm WildLaundry Glass sliding door ? Yes, our Laundry glass door was included, as was the stacker on our bedroom balcony. Only Front Door and sidelights left out.  13 Jul 2018 231 Bronze Member 24 Mar 2017 19 Junior Member Re: Building with Metricon 8134Dec 03, 2018 8:09 am WildRe: Building with Metricon 8135Dec 03, 2018 8:19 am PharmaG WildWe have it on both sides 18 Jun 2018 26 Junior Member Re: Building with Metricon 8137Dec 04, 2018 4:59 pm Hi All, just wanted to check how ling did your developer approval take? I know it can vary depending on developer requirements but for those who have intitial rejections from the Developer, how long did Metricon address the issues? Our plans have been submitted for DA on Oct 19. We have received 2 rejections already. As per the developer, the external colour schedule sent by metricon was missing some details. I have taken the liberty to check with our Developer on the reject reasons and found out we need to change our render colours. It's funny bcos last time i spoke with our csc she said she was still waiting for confirmation on this. When I told her that I did speak to our developer and this has been confirmed, she says she already contacted studio M to schedule an appointment with us. I dont get how they address issues on window and render colours without informing us. 🙄😔 Re: Building with Metricon 8138Dec 04, 2018 7:19 pm Lot4503Hi All, just wanted to check how ling did your developer approval take?

I found out by calling the DA directly cuz Metricon didn't want to keep my informed. Long story short , It is in your interest to get the approval as early as possible so if there is something missing provide them , if the colour selection needs to be done do it as early as possible not to wait for a meeting to be scheduled. Once the approval comes in that the clock is ticking and metricon would need to complete the file to start construction.

Maybe that's why they're keeping things to themselves so they dont start construction at this time. Our CSC can also be very rude that's why im being careful with her. She feels like im always rushing things when i try to follow up. For the StudioM appointment, she said we wait for 48 hrs, if no one from StudioM contacts us, i should inform her. Do you reckon we should just walk in for the selection and not wait for it to be scheduled?

Do you reckon we should just walk in for the selection and not wait for it to be scheduled? Do you mean the selection to satisfy the application requirement : yes , i would suggest you prioritize at your end , afcourse someone has to be there to show the options . It is in your interest to get that out of the way so that application can be resubmitted or the options can be sent to the DA as soon as possible. DA will take minimum 1 week to approve or around 1 month . Once it gets approved like i said then there is nothing pending from your end and they should start construction soon. The contract has a clause " Initial Period " , in Metricon contract it says owner must satisfy the essential matters . Actually, this clause is only to satisfy the financial obligation but they have put a long list of selections which you have no control over. Default number here is 15 days . So once the approval comes, all selections are done then the ball is in their court .
