So you’re going the Winchester 28 now? Hope it’s smooth sailing from here! Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 163Sep 07, 2018 10:57 pm Choose Mantra 29, M notified after a month that we cannot build that? Choose Langdon 26, M took few days and knocked it, Now choose Winchester 28 which seems fine, signing paper work tomorrow and then wait time begins. Hopefully would be smooth sailing onwards.

Good luck! Blackcat20 building that house and it’s been such a quick build 👍 Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 165Sep 18, 2018 8:03 am shokel1975 Clean Yes everything goes into que. CSC can't do anything. I asked to remove, for example, item 32 from contract estimate as it was a duplicate charge. The item has already been charged elsewhere. They removed item, 33 instead of 32, sheer negligence. To fix this error they took 3 weeks. I have been asking for revised colors schedule. I asked this as I changed some colors and I wanted to ensure that they did it properly. CSC has been telling you would receive during final contract signing time (before it goes to construction phase). They applied for developer approval with old colors and got it approved. Now they sent me colors schedule which was done with errors. Once they fix this they again need to apply for developer approval. Insane. I think that is what annoys me the most. The amount of careless mistakes and the time they take to rectify it. So, so frustrating! I can’t wait to get out of the admin stage. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 166Sep 18, 2018 9:22 am excited_builders shokel1975 Clean Yes everything goes into que.

Did you get an estimated site start date? https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=ht ... are_type=t excited_builders, Still waiting for floor plans to be updated. It will be 5 weeks tomorrow! I called my CSC last week to find out what is happening, and she said she would get back to me. Never heard.... I emailed her yesterday. No response..... She is going to get a pretty pi$$ed off call today. I just know there will still be things wrong when we finally get them. M have never been able to get all the fixes right in one go. Once these plans are finally correct - we have to get planning permits. 60 days with council. I am not confident they will even be onsite by Christmas at this rate. And M assured us we should be right to start in September! Yeah right.... Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 167Oct 04, 2018 2:36 pm We finally have correct town planning drawings from M! After waiting 7 weeks (!) for them to be done (including 4 days to correct mistakes, including having the wrong client name and address on them), we have now sent the drawings onto our Town Planners to include in our Planning Permit Application. I hope Knox Council work in a more timely manner than M do! So, hopefully by mid December we will have permits! We have now resigned ourselves to the build not starting until late Jan/early Feb . So much for September, as was suggested by M at our contract signing back in July....

Re: Building a Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition in Melbo 177Dec 14, 2018 9:01 am Our planning permit has been approved!
