Hi all Metricon Doulton homeowners and those who are building
We are considering this plan and going through the process trying to work out final cost. In your opinion what is an absolute MUST to upgrade in the Doulton 56?
For those in their homes what do you wish you had of thought of upgrading if you could do it again now? So many choices and a budget that won't go on forever, we would like to put our money where it matters most and your comments will be much appreciated.
Also is there an option to pre wire for solar and alarm system post build or did you have to do this through Metricon? Thanks.

In regards to solar, yes they do pre-wiring.

As Renman has said the 3 meter option to downstairs is the best addition to the home. I know I did it and was worth it.
Hebel Powerfloor is also is a do not miss option as it will eliminate the thuds from the first floor. I know you can get insulation
but why run the risk of step sounds from the first floor when they can be eliminated all in one product.(not to mention creaking timber floors)
For me other must upgrades were sound insulation both in wall and soundchek plaster as I am on a reasonably busy street.
Also double glazing on windows to stop heat escaping and to a lesser extent sound stopping.
Prewire everything if you can alarm solar cctv as it will be very hard to do later.
If you have a read of my posts early on, you can get ideas on upgrades and what you might think are 'must haves'.
THANK YOU
Do double glazing even if your home reach 6 stars without it.
Especially for windows u want to leave not covered by blinds or curtain through out the night and day.
So that u get natural light without needing to roll up the blinds every morning. Eg. Stairs windows.
I made a horrible mistake becos my house met 6 stars without the need for double glazing.
But during winter night too much heat is lost from windows.
