Hope your council is efficient and you can get a quick turn around on your application. Are you pulling your hair out over colour selections yet? Re: Our Metricon Glendale 38 Plantation Sydney South West 23Jul 30, 2015 10:11 am We hope our council is fast aswell but I think its averaging two months for approval Regarding our colour selections, we have decided on the colours for the kitchen and walls/ ceilings and we just have minor things to decide on. We've actually been too busy with organising my son's first birthday so we will need to have a look at our choices some time soon.

Good heavens 2 months is quite a while, I hope you can get a faster turn around than that. That's a good start with deciding on your colours. Oh exciting a first birthday is always lovely.

How long is your council taking on average?? viewtopic.php?t=78985 Thank you Franky . Our council is taking average of 6-8 weeks for approval unfortunately but we are still optimistic that it wont take too long Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78449 Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 34Aug 11, 2015 6:15 pm Given the amount of new build happening around South West Sydney that sounds about right! Hope it comes sooner though viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 35Aug 12, 2015 7:24 pm We have our internal colours and electrical appointment on the 28th August. Slightly nervous about it but i think we are sort of prepared. We have a pretty busy next couple of weeks ahead of us with our son's first bday so hopefully we can get some more preparation done before the appointment Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=78449 Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 36Aug 12, 2015 10:17 pm Exciting!!! It will be a hectic day . Electrical takes a bit of preparation as you almost need to think about where you want to have the furniture to get the lights and GPOs etc. The standard M electrical does not provide much. Good luck few of us have gone through it already and can assist you if you need any info viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 37Aug 12, 2015 10:17 pm Fantastic news Phoenix rose the 28th will be here in the blink of an eye (especially with a small person on the scene) what kind of colour scheme are you planning on? Tile or laminate flooring? Downlights? Sorry I sound like a policeman Re: Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney South West) 38Aug 27, 2015 4:30 am Franky40 Exciting!!! It will be a hectic day .

Good luck few of us have gone through it already and can assist you if you need any info viewtopic.php?t=78985 Sorry been MIA for a while. We are very excited for our appointment and pretty much sorted out what we want to choose/ upgrade. We have a provision for electrical of 11K and Studio M of 8K so hopefully we dont have to pay much out of our pocket . The only thing we are worried about is the wall paint we are choosing is not standard for the metro range so hoping it doesnt cost an arm and a leg to upgrade.

Tile or laminate flooring? Downlights? Sorry I sound like a policeman Thanks tribe! We were planning to have a grey/white theme for our colour scheme but the kitchen cabinet colours we are choosing are more brown than grey so we have compromised that I can have a grey theme in our master and ensuite so I'm still happy with that. We have chosen to take the package of tile/carpet through M and we will be having downlights throughout the house (upstairs downlights will be done post handover) with a few pendants and as inspired by your stair void pendant we will be having one there too .
