Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 53Jan 11, 2019 2:50 pm ![]() Thanks mate, We wanted an extra master bedroom. That's something we always had in mind so that was the first requirement we told every consultant we met as no standard design comes with 2 master bedrooms on upper level. Fortunately, our land size was big enough to cater for an extra bedroom so Roger designed this per our requirements. I remember he did come up with quite a few designs & alterations but we finally stuck to Liberty 40 with this modification, We also added a powder room downstairs which is quite squeezy but could come in handy at times. We also prefer to have bigger shower screens than a bathtub so that was an easy job for them to remove. You don't get as much credit for these items as you expect though. Yep. Having built about 7 years ago albeit with a different builder, we are helping out in laws this time with choosing a floorplan and stumbled upon your thread... Good choice with the showers, our place has 2 standard showers and a bigger one in the master and I can see a huge difference even if its just a few more inches. Also great if you have little kids so they can shower together with you as well or your partner. Oh so from the gist of it, I guess Mcon have customised plans already done up and just shown to you based on what you tell them. Years ago, we took a floorplan of what we wanted and edited it and presented it back to the sales consultant...so I suppose that was the other way.. Yes initially i thought your powder room plus shower was a bit tight/busy but I didn't want to be rude to make an opinion upfront. We have a powder plus shower downstairs too, it does come in handy. The only thing is the cleaning is a bit of a pain having 3 showers let alone in your case 4! In your case I would have only kept the powder room as is because you only have one room downstairs. Personally, what I would have done was amended the Ensuite on the bottom floor....to something like the below: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ But I would have removed the door between the bedroom and Ensuite 2....so in effect a powder room plus shower separate. It works wonders as the toilet can be used and shower independently, if one was using the other. But I'd also keep the 2nd powder room just in case both people need to use the toilet at once downstairs. Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 54Jan 11, 2019 3:08 pm Thanks mate, Yes, great suggestion & yes it will be harder to clean when we have a total of 6 showers!. All the best with your build ![]() retail its around double the price of a similar sized actron/dakin system from memory, They are excellent systems though.
