New here we are building the Doulton 56 with extension

Thanks for the response. Yeah the stairs are amazing. And we only had to upgrade for $7000. Which I was surprised as Other builders was going to cost us $13,000 If we went with them.

Yes Its a major project for them. All my consultant says when she goes in there is Im here for the big job. And they know what she talking about.

Yes we have been there 3 times already. Metricon was the only one that would do so many changes to their plan.

The base prices was at the time $444,000 without site cost.

We thought so too. I think its more now. Orignally It was a designer. But since it was built they changed it to signature range. The entry is 2700.
Its amazing. Specially the stairs.

Me and hubby went through the plans with them. To make sure whats included and what is not. I love how they have so many bulk heads that were included in the price. My consultant was amazing. She did so much for us. She went to bat for us in so many ways. I still have contact with her even thou Her area is over with. But we still keep in contact. We even txt each other and ring each other after hours. She's amazing. She's gone far and beyond for us.

Thanks you. Took us about 5 months from talks to contract but thats also with bypassing pc which would then take longer. The process so far has been a bit stressful as we have had so many problems with getting the house on the land. As next door has built on the fence line. Then we bypassed Pc but with a lot of hassles. We knew what we wanted as Its our 4th time building. They hesitated because we have a lot of structural changers. The most Metricon has ever had. So they were hesitant. But our consultant was amazing and got it through. Its very important to get a really good consultant. Even thou Metricon don't really like to bypass Pc. Our consultant did an amazing job with getting it through.

We are roughly around $814,000 so far. But thats with over 200 variations. We still need to pick our tiles. Even thou we have upgrades with tiles up the wall. And our site cost was pretty high cos they had to put 76 piers. Cos of next doors house being on the fence line.

I would be surprised if the display is only $800.00. If you get it for that much. Its a great price. Try find a honest consultant. It makes all the difference to the prices you will get. Try also to add allowances in your estimations. Makes sure you ask whats included in that price.

I figured any major builder you will get hassles in some way. Cos theirs usually someone in some areas they will muck up or something. Just be on top of it all. Electrical is one of the most important areas. So make sure you put everything you need in there.

Sounds like one awesome home you're getting ready to build! Looking forward to following your journey!

You got your plans to upload?

Thanks Dulle. I just hope it goes smoothly from this time on. Yes I do have some. They are not the complete ones yet. As Metricon Kept mucking it up. They needed to take out the cladding. As we are having all Hebel. I will download them soon

No we only went to 2700. But we added square cornices from the front door through to the kitchen instead.

I tried to post a pic of the plans. I downloaded the plans. But it doesn't have the submit button. Also it won't let me use the quote?
