Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 1154Nov 23, 2016 12:01 pm Wow Vista - I haven't checked in for ages. Have just been getting up to date. The house looks amazing, you must be thrilled to finally be in. Just wondering if you had any independent inspections done throughout the process? We've only just had our slab poured (3 months later than expected!) and are wondering if we should get things checked along the way. We've just been assigned a new SM, but given your experience with the defects, I want to make sure we keep on top of things now. Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 1155Nov 24, 2016 4:47 pm I would recommend Houspect for stage inspections. They had a package of 4 inspections for $2100 a while back. As you're past that stage maybe pay as you go? I know nothing of building standards in Australia, and I work overseas, so it was worth it for us for peace of mind. They did spot a few things which we never would have and if you send the reports to your CSC as well as SM they will ensure work is done....just don't hold back any stage payments while they do though, they don't like that!

I'm currently holding back a payment due to slab defects and site dumping. Can I ask what happened when you did hold back a payment?

I figure Metricon are a large reputable company, it's not in their interests to not get the work done properly, particularly if you put it in writing what needs to be done. So personally I wouldn't withhold a stage payment but make it clear in writing what must be done before the build may continue. Re: Our Metricon Liberty 45 on the Northern Beaches, Sydney 1159Nov 27, 2016 2:49 am Boundary fence/wall going in.....all was going well until a council inspector came along and issued us a stop work order! Now read the SEPP and can only have 50% of the wall at 1.8m, the rest needs to be at 1.2m max So much for privacy.
