Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Trentham 30 metricon 12Aug 10, 2021 3:38 pm Hi Davi and Dips, I just saw your posts on Trentham build thru Metricon. We are building one currently in Vic. Any thoughts on how your build went, your experience so far with Trentham design and floor plan and any suggestions/red flags to be aware of? Thanks SR Re: Trentham 30 metricon 13Aug 10, 2021 8:49 pm Overall it wasn’t to painful however we did get stuffed around with the drawers in our walk-in robe. The colour was not what we picked and they didn’t honour a variation that we had put in.The trades were good but office staff were hopeless. The house is still looking great 2.5 years later. However the lower front windowsareuselessfor ventilation and the balcony doors don’t fold flat back against the wall. Acoustics don’t leave much for having a telly on in lounge and Xbox on in front room. The sitting room in front area is useless for much apart from a library or office. If I was to build again I wouldn’t pick this floor plan but one that isn’t so symmetrical at front and maximise living space in front rooms . I’d also ditch the roofline on garage for a flat area that could be used as a large bbq outdoor area or sun deck and link it to a balcony along rear of house.
