Do we need to arrange before build or once build is completed ? Re: FIRST HOME β METRICON WINCHESTER 28 68Aug 28, 2018 10:59 am Wild, It is best to do after build - so it doesn't get damaged by trades. However, you will need to check with your council (and it should be stipulated in your contract of land purchase), if you need to build fencing before moving in. Our council needs fences to be constructed before moving in - but not all councils have same conditions.

Do we need to arrange before build or once build is completed ?[/quote] I am not sure yet. Haven't discussed it with our SM. I reckon most likely after handover. Don't think M will allow outside contractors to do simultaneously with their build. We have to arrange earlier as we have Sec 173 to abide so we have to put in our fencing plan with the council before we can build the fence. Re: FIRST HOME β METRICON WINCHESTER 28 70Aug 28, 2018 11:07 am Our SS is allowing fencing to happen the same week as PCI.

Re: FIRST HOME β METRICON WINCHESTER 28 73Sep 04, 2018 8:24 pm 3 September 2018 - Day 77 (11 weeks) We had our 1st walkthrough yesterday morning and it looks so much better than the photos sent to us! So glad to see all the cabinets are in! They are all covered for painting work started today. SM said tiling work will start next week! And seems like M is very ambitious, targeting to finish by early October! π± Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: FIRST HOME β METRICON WINCHESTER 28 74Sep 04, 2018 10:49 pm Kimmykim 3 September 2018 - Day 77 (11 weeks) We had our 1st walkthrough yesterday morning and it looks so much better than the photos sent to us!

Re: FIRST HOME β METRICON WINCHESTER 28 78Sep 05, 2018 1:51 pm Kimmykim Hi Skodel, thanks! Yes, we have so much to do this week, meeting fencing contractors, blinds and curtains, furniture etc. π Are you doing fencing , blinds and curtains through Metricon or by yourself ?

I know what you mean. Thanks! Do you mind to tell me how much is your fencing quote? $65 per metre. But its a 1.95m fence, capped with exposed posts.

M does not do fencing and we didn't opt for blinds and curtains during our selection. But we just went down to Livelight who works with M for blinds consultant. They are offering 10% off for M customers. We shall see their quote tomorrow. So it looks like we finally have some movement on site!
