It's the first day I've had them. No one is able to peek through anyways as it's on the side of the house anyway.

My build - viewtopic.php?t=87470 Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 804Jun 20, 2017 4:29 pm vuster Construction of the stairs is underway. The treads are just MDF and will be carpeted whilst the outer stringers and rails are vic ash and will be stained.The height of the top balusters are non standard and M was nice enough to not charge me for the variation. During the pre-construction stage I pestered M to ensure that the stair case matched the display. i.e. No Posts and symmetrical balusters patterns.

I insisted that they provide a square pattern that had matching heights. They came back and told me they'll upgrade the balusters to the "special height" ones. I only raised this prior to construction because my friend had the same issue when M did her stairs. She had to escalate to management to get them to fix it up to her liking so I was preemptive.

Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 805Jun 20, 2017 6:14 pm It's all looking amazing! That's shocking about the pipes and insulation. Doesn't surprise me though unfortunately. We had only a small section of ceiling batts installed but handed over with 80% still in bags. What had been installed had been thrown around by the electricians and not replaced. Why do people have so little respect? The curtains look beautiful. The stairwell- omg!! C U S T O M. C O R A L.

There is no excuse to left the vent pipe unfinished as anyone worked anywhere near there should have known the problem. But on the upside you will probably have a beautiful swimming pool ready in few weeks even in the winter time. bet the EVO pool heater will keep it warm. We have the evo pool heater at our place for almost a year now didnt have any problem. Did you get the WIFI add-on for remote control?

Did Metricon charge you extra to get the "special height" symmetrical balusters patterns? Hi Jinchen, no I wasn't charged for the extra height upgrade. It's normally chargeable so it was a bonus for me. It's something I raised from a very early stage so they waived it.

All too common for people to try and get away with things. Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 811Jun 21, 2017 10:29 pm Mt.view Its terrible to hear you had the problem with the smell.

Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 812Jul 08, 2017 6:58 pm Hello Vuster, First of all, many thanks for all the info and photos you've kindly shared. Additional to the base plan price your upgrade options were $300k ? I see it mentioned $300k extra but could not locate within your thread where it was 'you' who actually stated this extra $300k additional costing. So I just needed to confirm this. I am considering the same build and would like to understand how large a budget is required. 1) What was the final package cost? 2) What was the starting price of the Bordeaux before your ($300k) upgrades? Thank you. Victoria. Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 813Jul 08, 2017 7:20 pm Homez Hello Vuster, First of all, many thanks for all the info and photos you've kindly shared.

Thank you. Victoria. Hi Victoria, The base price was 650K the last time I enquired. This was about 3 months ago so it could be slightly more now. It was 610K when I signed up. You'll need to budget about 1m if you would like M to build you a home with the same specs as mine. Your site costs could be more than mine so that will make a difference too. I hope that helps.. Re: My Metricon Bordeaux 56 build 815Jul 08, 2017 11:39 pm Vuster, A quick question about the paradox alarm system. I have selected the paradox alarm for my build. I got an eight zone. Was told it was the largest M did. How much extra was the TM50 alarm panel? I was not informed that it was upgradable so did not do it at selection. Now needed them to add it on.
