Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 29, 2016 8:46 pm Hi all, we're soon building the Glendale 39 and have a few queries that people may be able to help with. We've been told our outdoor room will just have a dirt floor rather than concrete, not sure why it wouldn't be part of the slab of the main house - especially with a brick pier supporting the main roof on the far corner. Also with the A/C we've been told that Metricon don't allow owners to supply their own A/C and have it fitted after handover. This is due to the ductwork that needs installing which is more involved in a 2-storey house. Our prelim quote seems to indicate a separate price for ductwork and then an $18k allowance for the provision/installation of the reverse-cycle refrigerated A/C. Has anyone else experienced similar? Overall we're happy with the process so far but it's frustrating when we get told one thing by the S/C but then the quote or what we see elsewhere is different. Re: Metricon Glendale 39 questions 2Feb 29, 2016 9:41 pm Hi and welcome nice too see yet another Glendale outdoors and portico are definitely concrete. A/c they don't allow own suppliers in until handover. Depending on home you'd need to speak with SC to see whether you can install ducting for later.
