We are still waiting on council Can't wait to see your build start Metro 32 KDRB Bayside Melbourne viewtopic.php?f=31&t=84012 Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 83Sep 22, 2016 10:33 pm Thanks JLH! Hoping it all goes smoothly from here on. Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 84Sep 23, 2016 3:26 pm Soo.. We're being charged an extra $902 for the additional surface drain and the stormwater drainage to discharge point. Not happy about these sudden unexpected costs. Let's hope this is the last of it! Almost a thousand dollars down the drain Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 86Oct 03, 2016 11:49 am Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 87Oct 03, 2016 12:40 pm Oh no, that's terrible. Hope it doesn't end up costing you money. Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 88Oct 03, 2016 1:18 pm dulie Oh no, that's terrible. Hope it doesn't end up costing you money. Few weeks ago it was just the pile of soil so we assumed whoever's done it would clean up after themselves but today, still the same pile of soil plus what looks to be pieces of concrete so yeah, we're getting a bit worried if M is gonna say it's our responsibility now and we'll be charged for cleaning up??

A couple of our residents had to pay for removal. I asked about temporary fencing being up beforehand but still waiting for a reply or phone call Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 90Oct 03, 2016 6:19 pm Emmz70 beac_faith dulie Oh no, that's terrible.

A couple of our residents had to pay for removal. I asked about temporary fencing being up beforehand but still waiting for a reply or phone call I've sent an email to CSC for advice. Also asked my neighbour who has since claimed responsibility for the pile of black soil and he said he'll deal with it swiftly. We don't really mind the soil since we could put it to good use next time but the pieces of concrete is what worries me I've contacted the other neighbours builder (assuming it's them since they've very recently finished their driveway) so hopefully we'll hear something soon.

We'll have to drive by again this weekend to see if anything has been done. Our CSC said we'll have to be charged for removal of those rubbish if they're still on site when we start, which should be at the end of the month. M has apparently ordered the materials for our house and now we're just waiting on the bank to give the OK for site start.

Hope all the rubbish is removed before site start, but they seem pretty professional to reply so promptly, so I see it getting done Wish you a hassle free start Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 95Oct 06, 2016 11:22 am Looks like you're ahead of getting a head of me Beac. I've had no word on anything happening yet.

Our neighbour on the other side has been lovely. Apparently he has had someone dumping a pile of rubbish in his backyard too and from his description they sound like the same type of rubbish that was on our land! His wife caught tradies from the street behind dumping them, red handed, onto their backyard. Now we'll have to try to link those rubbish to the same builder, if it's still not sorted out by this weekend.

Very lazy people hope the neighbourhood find the culprits Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 99Oct 06, 2016 4:08 pm So I just received a call from the SS next door regarding my complaint. Turns out I was right.. Those pieces of concrete and wood and black soil in front all belonged to them! Now half the mystery is solved, thank God! He apologised and assured me they'll be cleared up on Monday. He has denied ownership to the three piles of soil in our backyard so our investigation continues... So relieved the major part of the rubbish will now be dealt with. Our CSC says they're happy to have piles of soil left in our backyard as long as it doesn't interfere with construction. So if no one removes them we might just make use of them for landscaping later on. Re: Our new family home Metricon Metro 32 QLD 100Oct 12, 2016 10:09 am Got news from our CSC that the orders for our building materials are now complete with a slight discrepancy. Staircase supplier has mentioned that our current staircase design means I can't have the glass balustrade for the return upstairs because it wouldn't fit between the post and our dwarf wall. So we will now have to increase the void space by 400mm to fit a glass balustrade. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I'm assuming that would mean our staircase would look similar to this after increasing the void: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ As opposed to the original Metro design: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ In other news we've also gotten conditional approval for the loan. Our broker says everything is progressing well and our formal approval should come by the end of the week. Once that's obtained we will be issued a date for site start!! Keen to hear from people in the area who have got KDRB done on whom they got the build from? Looking for recommendations.
