I get the feeling they don't want to give it to me to read through in advance but want to do it at the appointment. I'm going to go all lawyer on them if they don't give me the opportunity to review it myself. How did you do it, Tribe7? Did they send it to you before your appointment?

This is the key. Be nice and kindly say Hey this is wrong, and this can this be fixed yada yada. We got to look over our contract before the fact and on the day of signing there were some issues which our sales lady noted and got sorted out. Just one thing I will advise is ask them very very very nicely ask them not to do post contract variations. Especially before your first draw down as this will cause issues. They are rectifiable but believe me will cause you a headache in the meantime. But yeah take our advise do not threaten them calmly sit down and sort out all the issues you have. Re: Our Brisbane Barkly Build 18May 24, 2015 7:58 pm Thanks RichandShez, I didn't mean that I was going to threaten, but I certainly won't be pushed around. I've made it clear we won't be signing on the spot, we'll take it home and review it. Went by our block yesterday and saw that Metricon have put a sign up Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ There's 5 other signs in the little estate, 2 from one builder and 3 from another, but they're all house and land builds with the land purchased by the builder. One has started construction and another has had the scrape done. Exciting stuff!

Grats on the Barkly build Chaton. I told Metricon that I want to read the contract myself before signing. They gave me both copies and I have had them for the last 3 weeks. Im also building the barkly on the gold coast. Re: Our Brisbane Barkly Build 20May 25, 2015 7:41 pm Jese Norriss Grats on the Barkly build Chaton.

Heya Jese Norriss, I was wondering how your build was going! So they gave you the contracts to take home - you haven't signed a copy yet? Trying to make a couple of last minute changes, like looking at changing to a hinged laundry door for ease of putting a pet door in it so our pooch can sleep indoors at night, and having the bathroom exhaust vent to the eaves not the roof space, perhaps changing sarking to anticon or removing it altogether.
