But it's good to see other options just to make those comparisons Agreed. Will be working out the structural changes for comparison. Re: Metricon Glendale 50 Limited Edition 165May 07, 2016 9:20 pm I found Metricon prices were reasonable compared to PD for structural changes. One PD change could easily escalate to 5k plus. So it will be interesting if you find another builder with bargain prices. viewtopic.php?t=79203 Re: Metricon Glendale 50 Limited Edition 166May 07, 2016 10:01 pm Emmz70 I found Metricon prices were reasonable compared to PD for structural changes.

Just finished a quick run down on 8Homes d8. A lot of changes as compare to glendale. Especially the kitchen portion. Anyway, will compare and see where it head to.

I would consider them if I jump ship with the right price tag. Best of luck to your build.

We have several metricons in our estate including one directly behind us and they started about 5 months after us and have overtaken us! If your only gripe is the current speed of things I'd stick it out. I actually wish I went with Metricon. https://mandgbuildatmulgoarise.wordpress.com/ Re: Metricon Glendale 50 Limited Edition 175May 08, 2016 8:45 am MGardz Hi Neville, I was just stalking some other builder threads and saw your post, seriously don't go with Masterton they are far worse than Metricon!

What is it with all these delays, I think they should all be more transparent with time frames.

We have moved very slowly and we are now in liquidated damages territory. It's becoming common based on the Masterton forum contributors that the Masterton builds are going over contract and their customer service, general communication and quality are rather sub par. Most of us aren't happy customers. We've had 3 site supervisors and 2 construction coordinators which has been frustrating so we've had to assume a pseudo project management role to get better flow of work. Even then we are at least 3 weeks from PCI https://mandgbuildatmulgoarise.wordpress.com/ Re: Metricon Glendale 50 Limited Edition 178May 12, 2016 6:41 pm vintay68 Seems like builders have problems coordinating the tradesmen / admin to get things done on time or on schedule You've been a bit quiet Vintay? Thought I'd check into your thread Hope you've made progress Re: Metricon Glendale 50 Limited Edition 180May 12, 2016 8:58 pm vintay68 Hi Emmz70, Sad to say no progress as yet. Will be waiting patiently for M as of now. Did your CSC feedback to you with regards to the extension? Hmm getting like that!! My admin teams been very quiet Hopefully they're loud come build time.
