Merricks 45 with Metricon

Good luck with the build. It will be 3-6 months before they get started. We built the Merricks 42 with some structural changes and absolutely love it. Now you need to go thru every contract item and double triple check what it says. Each item should be self explanatory but check all measurements and descriptions. You can amend or clarify by variation (no cost unless changing). Every conversation should be followed up with an email to establish an email trail should anything happen. Watch every step of the build and hammer the site supervisor when required. We engaged an independent inspector (Darbecca) and they were amazing and well worth the $2000. Ask me anything! Good luck. “Love where you live”.

I hear you! We signed Oct 2015 and moved in July 2017. I like your plans and yes we built it for the big kids bedrooms. We changed our pantry a bit and opened it to the laundry and put the bathroom where the laundry was. When I have another minute I will put up a photo for you to see. i would call the builders on either side of you and tell them to move their dirt. It will be your responsibility but depending how much there is it could get moved in the site scrape. Great to see another Merricks in the works. Looking forward to seeing it grow.

Metricon is taking ages to complete the variations, looks like they are inundated. First variation/corrections took almost 45 days. They could not fix everything, has to fix around 4/5 things. They are not able to do this almost 20 days now. It is so frustrating...

Site start today. Top soil has been removed and exciting time
