We were charged $150 each for those! Yep.. Thats what they are. Were you Freedom or Designer inclusions? Our house has Designer inclusions as standard, so perhaps it's there or it may have been a recent change to pricing. Much of the pricing we had in the upgrade guide was well out of date and had gone up, some had remained the same. The biggest difference from the price guide to real life was the bricks.. Re: Metricon Bohemian 25 in Vic 7Mar 17, 2016 9:57 pm We were freedom so that might be why Build thread - viewtopic.php?t=81517 Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition Re: Metricon Bohemian 25 in Vic 8Apr 17, 2016 9:30 pm Since our colours appointment not a lot has happened except for the electrical appointment. I went there myself and chose not to spend much on upgrades - I am a cabler so arranging for my own changes post handover with a sparky mate isn't a problem... except for the extra outlets I wanted to add to the kitchen - there was no way that I was going to cut out holes in the splashbacks or add cabling to the island bench. Other stuff added at that stage was ducted aircon and upgrading the central heating with setting up zones for the living areas and bedrooms. Our land titled last week, will settle before the end of April so amazingly that is on track! Next up - Contract signing! Re: Metricon Bohemian 25 in Vic 9Sep 02, 2016 11:26 am Not a lot of action for the last few months while we had to wait for our house sale to be complete. But thankfully that has finally happened and we are back into the groove... Tile selections happened last Tuesday and it went through with no real issue and no upgrade price because we found everything we wanted in the builders range. Also we made this easy for ourselves by choosing the same tiles throughout the wet areas. We're all ready for construction now as the permits are done and plans are finalised... can't wait!! Re: Metricon Bohemian 25 in Vic 10Sep 02, 2016 2:33 pm Great choice on the Bohemian it's got a great layout. I see that you chose laminate tops for your bathrooms and pantry....does that mean you went for the Value inclusions instead of the Lux inclusions? Re: Metricon Bohemian 25 in Vic 11Sep 05, 2016 2:25 pm Vantage_35 does that mean you went for the Value inclusions instead of the Lux inclusions? Nope, we had chosen the Designer inclusions when we arranged our design and put down the $1000 deposit back in November and the LUX25 designer inclusions had not been released yet so without requoting the entire build which I estimated would have added over $20k thanks for base build changes and losing our other deals. Re: Metricon Bohemian 25 in Vic 12Sep 27, 2016 10:03 pm So after 12 months since finding our favourite design we finally had a start on site yesterday. It's a relief to see physical progress after so much admin!

Re: Metricon Bohemian 25 in Vic 16Nov 30, 2016 5:41 pm Had a good visit with our SS today and the pics below don't do the raked ceiling justice. The room feels massive especially after the first coat of paint has gone on - I can't fault the speed of the works and just how much has been completed after only 8 weeks. It seems that every day we see some progress. The brickies had a bit of a hard time with the hot days and rain last week so that's a little behind schedule but overall I'm stoked.

What height are your windows and stacker doors? Are those living room windows the standard type or did you upgrade them? Build thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=85381#p1630392 Re: Metricon Bohemian 25 in Vic 20Nov 30, 2016 6:18 pm Vantage_35 Looks fantastic, those ceilings are so high! What height are your windows and external doors? Are those living room windows the standard type or did you upgrade them? Living room windows on the side are double glazed awning (required for energy rating), the rest around the house are standard sliding. The rear stacker doors are 2100 high, the windows are standard 1800 so with the 2700 ceiling at the lower point it may appear small. I know there is a bit of discussion elsewhere on H1 that raising the windows higher or making them larger makes a difference but I really don't mind. Our room layout plan has the lounge facing away from the windows and as we have a small lot I never saw the attraction to commit to that modification. I have posted this before: We hired Darbecca to do every stage inspection, and I strongly recommend them to anyone that asks me. They were amazing.
