My partner and I are also in the same position as yourself. We are due to sign the contract this saturday. The only delays we have had so far are just from the developers and approvals. Where abouts in Brisbane are you building? Re: About to sign with M3tricon. Any Suggestions? 17Nov 27, 2008 3:58 pm they are OK if you are not in a hurry for your home to finish on time. ours got delayed by 2 mo (total build time 11 mo for 2 storey Nolan 44in Melb) .
we did not have major problems. Electrical team is apalling - forgot wiring for sensors, junction boxes for fans didnot have appropriate location near timber, no provision made for fan wallplates, A/C switch provided on exterior , alarm strobe placed on less visible part of the house. I wish we had an electrician look at the drawings prior. Plumbing team is horrible too... water tank connected to least effective downpipe.. and visible from formal lounge (I will grow creepers but it shd not have been done this way in the first place) greywater diverter is permanently diverting water into the garden and glued in that position so, inspite of handover i am unable to use laundry. Otherwise we are quite happy with the build. SC was quite approachable. good luck and happy building!!! Re: About to sign with M3tricon.

vpande - 11 months is outrageous. If ours takes that long I will not be happy. I have a mate who was a builder but now operates a charter boat, he has volunteered to be my chief inspector. So I am going to drive them crazy checking everything, but at the end of the day hopefully we will get the house we want. Re: About to sign with M3tricon.

If you're building 63sq..... I'd be looking at around 18months with M3tricon. And to upload photos, you have to use a hosting site such as photobucket and do it from there. Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: About to sign with M3tricon. Any Suggestions? 20Nov 29, 2008 8:25 am thanks Jo. I'll try photobucket.
Because things have slowed down in the building industry we have been given a rough build time of 7 months. Our house is only single storey which is apparently quicker and easier to build. But from reading these forums I don't think I can believe anything the builder says. Matt 1 1346 Hi, Looking to add an ensuite to one of the bedrooms and make it a Master BR.
