Re: Our KDR Metricon Doulton - Melb 13Sep 25, 2018 11:31 pm Charlotte.h stanus My sales consultant was honest with pricing,(his estimates were spot on) the problem was me. I was in upgrade mode so prelim estimate increased by over 30 per cent by final contract. If you go into selections with upgrades or I want to match the display, be prepared to pay. One thing that was not accurate was site costs. It started at 40k went to 58k and finally landed on 95k. I am doing a KDR and you get hammered on site costs. Our site costs is 45K plus provision of 15k for traffic management, KDR Doulbton 57 in Bentleigh 15k for traffic mgt??

Re: Our KDR Metricon Doulton - Melb 16Jan 15, 2019 8:29 pm We buit our Doulton just last year. I remember thinking it would be great too have others that are building it too. We actually bought off the plan. In November 2016 was when they finished building the display. I wish we would have walked through it before. So we would have seen what extras we could put in there. Although everyone at metricon thinks we upgraded almost everything. That its considered a signature range. We tried to get 3 meter ceilings dowstairs as well. But apparently it wasnt possible. As fitting it on our land was a tight fit. So we just stayed with the square set cornices for most of downstairs. And 2700 ceilings. I think the Doulton is a unique design. Although we did add 11 squares onto ours. As we needed the extra room too support our large family. All The best on your build. I look forward to following it.

We would love to see some more photos, we are only just getting started with ours, just had our three day marathon (colours for two, electrical for one)!
