I am looking at building with metricon but are concerned with the time it takes to get to the construction stage. Can you guys give me a heads up with the process. Also when given the estimation quote, how accurate was it to the actual tender. Were the site costs close? Also any changes that were made were the estImates also close? Has anyone also had to reduce their house if so what sought of credit did they give? Appreciate your help. Re: Building with Metricon 289Sep 14, 2015 11:23 am Nolan69 Hi congrats on your build.

For use the tender quote was quite accurate with the contract. Of course the provisional sums can vary. Yup if your house has to be reduced then M will give you a credit but unsure how it's calculated. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii548/Liem_Nguyen/Mobile%20Uploads/Metricon%20process.jpg Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Building with Metricon 290Sep 14, 2015 12:22 pm Orpheus Nolan69 Hi congrats on your build.

Even SC didn't have one to offer, saved now And sorry again another question. How much cost was it too raise internal door heights to 2340? Can't find thread with this upgrade price.

Just wondering if anyone is building from the designer range in melbourne and if they can explain the $20,000 bonus as well? Can this 20K be used towards facades, upgrades or amendments to some areas like kitchen bench or does it have to be used only at studio M - so pretty much color selections, what about electrical? Can it be used for that? And do you feel it is good value or just a gimmick to try and get new clients? Cause if the cat 1 selections are bad then that value is definitely going to be used quickly! Thanks and sorry for so many questions in one go! Second Build, this time with Carlisle 2016, can't wait!

Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Building with Metricon 294Sep 15, 2015 11:54 am We are using it. We paid $20k and got a "bonus" $25k. It's for things like site costs, structural and facade changes. We had $35k in site costs, so it was handy to effectively wipe them out back to a "normal" site costs value!! Don't forget BAL costs, increasing ceiling heights, eaves, colorbond roof etc all count. It's very VERY easy to spend that bonus...

This was about a year ago though viewtopic.php?t=78985 Re: Building with Metricon 298Sep 15, 2015 3:23 pm pearz, you can either get 20k upfront as a bonus, but if you think you will add at least 20k on structural changes or site costs, then they "charge" you 20k but give you an extra 25k (total 45k value). Basically if you spend at least 20k you get an extra 5k on the deal.

They added up our complete contract value and then reduced the amount by 25k.
