Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Aug 17, 2017 9:38 am Hi everyone, we are just starting on our knock down building journey and have been researching this for a few months now (and revisiting our decision from a few years ago) and just came across this app and Forum. Any advise or links to useful topics for us will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Re: Starting our KDR journey Metricon Glendale 50 2Sep 02, 2017 8:42 am So now we have the initial deposit paid and have received a letter from M with our My metricon user name and passwords...though its been a week and no one has contacted us for any soil tests...maybe a week is too soon...so will wait and see what happens. Re: Starting our KDR journey Metricon Glendale 50 3Sep 02, 2017 2:52 pm Good luck with the build I am building the doulton. Have signed the final contract waiting for final variations. Yet to recieve the my metricon login But to tell the truth I probably do not need it. I drive past the site everyday to work so I will be able to see what is happening. The glendale seems to be very popular on the forums. Re: Starting our KDR journey Metricon Glendale 50 4Sep 08, 2017 6:43 pm stanus Good luck with the build I am building the doulton.

We have received council approval, completed demolition and we have an eleectrical pole on site. We r now awaiting final contract price and variations and hoping for an end April site start. Ita been pretty slow since 1st week of Feb which was our contract signing day. Our 1st deposit was paid in July 2017. How long did u all take from 1st deposit to site start? The wait seems endless and we havent even started building yet!

For example, we decided that we did not want 'walk-in' linen cupboards, so in their places we made larger pantry/Butlers and added a walk-in robe to one of the upstairs bedrooms. Also increased the garage width to make a workshop space. Re: Starting our KDR journey Metricon Glendale 50 14Apr 27, 2018 5:32 pm Hi All We received our final plans and contract variation. There was still one Provisional Figure which my CSC said will be only sorted at final settlement. We got contacted by the Building Support Coordinator who advised our temp fencing is due to arrive on 3rd May.....Yay! For those with private inspectors when do u send the final plans to him ....is it as soon as u get it and is that review part of the 1st pre pour slab inspection check or is it a separate cost? How long does it take to start on site and approx when is the 1st Invoice received from site start....just so I can be organised with my bank. Re: Starting our KDR journey Metricon Glendale 50 15May 04, 2018 8:15 am An update from us....our temp fence went up on yesterday and the portable toilet is in too. So excited....now have to check in with our BSC on when will the site start be. Re: Starting our KDR journey Metricon Glendale 50 16May 04, 2018 9:29 am That’s great! Things are happening for you 😀 Re: Starting our KDR journey Metricon Glendale 50 18May 04, 2018 4:32 pm And we were just informed that site start is 9th May.....Yay!!! Re: Starting our KDR journey Metricon Glendale 50 19May 08, 2018 1:25 pm Hi All For all those that have completed their independent inspections, do we get charged each time you send a new set of revised plans to the inspector. What is normally expected to be the costs on top of the inspections...is there a cost associated wirh reviewing your plans, soil tests etc....once they r finalised? Also what did u send to yhe inspection company before pre pour inspection stage Re: Starting our KDR journey Metricon Glendale 50 20May 17, 2018 4:36 pm quote="excited_builders"]Hi All For all those that have completed their independent inspections, do we get charged each time you send a new set of revised plans to the inspector.
