I was told by a SC at Metricon to fit that size of a house and not worried too much about about side setbacks you MUST have a block that is north facing backyard that's best?

I was told by a SC at Metricon to fit that size of a house and not worried too much about about side setbacks you MUST have a block that is north facing backyard that's best? My front is facing the north. Backyard is facing the south. I did not know if I was able to build the 56 at the time I paid the initial deposit. It wasn't until they did the survey that they said the side setbacks were OK for my block. I still had to go through a council dispensation process as the height of my garage exceeded rescode requirements so it was still a couple months of waiting for that to happen. They would of had to adjust the garage height if it was rejected. I think I've hijacked Hal's thread. Best to ask Bordeaux questions in mine. Re: My Doulton 56 Classique - Metricon Melbourne 26Aug 27, 2016 4:00 pm Hi Hal, I rang Metricon but they didn't answer, I guess it's Sat afternoon? We love your house plan, can you please let us know the address for the Doulton display in Burwood? or anyone here has a clue where it is? It's not advertised on Metricon website. Many thanks and good luck. Re: My Doulton 56 Classique - Metricon Melbourne 27Aug 27, 2016 8:58 pm Hi Hal, what a beautiful home you're building there. I really love the grandeur of the curve staircase too. Looking forward to following your journey!

No , i haven't had a date yet. SC told me her assistant would sign with me as she would be away. But apparently SC is the one who is supposed to sign with me. Wrong info given at the beginning of the stage. Not a good feeling. Where are you building beac-faith?
