Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Oct 02, 2017 6:52 pm Hi all. We are building on a 1 acre narrow block and our settlement date is in 1 week. Our preview estimate date was 17/6/17. We have our studio M appointment in Geelong on the 27th of Oct. Our electrical first and selections later that day. I'm really excited for the studio m appointment as we have had over 6 months to decide what we want depending on our budget as well. so we should be pretty straight to the point and cruise through it all hopefully!. The things we have changed with the Mantra 25 is adding a grand outdoor area, adding an alcove in the living area for the tv spot, the rumpus room has an open/cut out wall from the living so we decided to close that and have as a solid wall and have double doors at the entrance to the rumpus to have it kinda like a theatre/gaming room and last thing is we asked for a bigger shower in the master ensuite. Ill put up some photos of styles and colours we like and want. First time builders and home owners. Building with Metricon. Mantra 25s. Re: Building with Metricon.
