Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Metricon CSC very slow response. What are my options 3Oct 19, 2018 8:44 am nsuinteger This is very upsetting as we need to wrap up all variations and get a final cost for the build as it is needed for next steps such as loan application etc... Has anyone faced such issue with a builder? What did you do about it? What are my options regarding the new coordinator with little to no response. At this time we're not confident going forward with her.

What are my options 4Jan 27, 2020 4:34 pm We just finished our build with Metricon. And repeated saw the same issues that you're having. We had 3 different site managers over the 10 month build, as they would quit abruptly. I would only find out someone had quit because there would be no contact on weeks on end. When I'd try to contact the Site Manager's Manager, I'd get no response. The only way I got responses was to call the Metricon general number and ask how I can escalate or make a complaint. Then someone would get back to me within 1-2 days. The multiple changes in site managers resulted in certifications being missed by Metricon. Metricon are still running around figuring out how to provide the certifications - even though we're well past handover. Now that we're finished the build phase, this behaviour from Metricon continues. The CSC doesn't respond to phone messages or emails. We are having some MAJOR defects (concrete blocking drainage pipes), and they don't even respond to formal emails requesting timeframes and plan for resolution. I called to escalate to the CSC's manager - they don't know much more than the CSC, and are giving us the same run around. Unfortunately I'm at the point where I'm getting lawyers involved now. To anyone who is considering building - DO NOT BUILD with Metricon. I regret building with Metricon like you wouldn't believe. 1 13116 Hi - thanks for your reply.
