I was rather surprised by this as I was told all wet areas would be sheeted with Villaboard not plasterboard.

Our gyprock was in last week and we can't even figure whether all required insulation was in.. Won't know the difference between the boards.. Wonder how much our lack of knowledge is impacting on us not being able to pick on what builder's missed..

We have our keys, and the only thing in our house that's hasn't been replaced is our tiling. No kidding: I'm thinking of seeking legal damages against metricon.

No it's not just you, 6 months in and we're STILL having things repaired or replaced! Including stacker doors 3 times, tiles to alfresco, roof tiles, front door, garage rear door, now probably the stairs AND the kitchen! There are heaps more lesser items I've just lost count. We've been so inconvenienced it's beyond a joke! My Metricon Glendale in Sydney. Re: Building with Metricon 5397Jun 07, 2017 9:53 am Omg that's terrible Phoenix and HGM!!! What's happened with all your things since the build that have needed them replaced HGM? Building with Metricon 5398Jun 07, 2017 10:02 am kylz4 Omg that's terrible Phoenix and HGM!!! What's happened with all your things since the build that have needed them replaced HGM? Everything you can imagine Kylz, from defective roof tiles that allows the water INTO the home, warped doors, defective front door, poorly laid tiles and sealant, defective stackers x 3, wrong sinks, wrong kitchen, faulty stairs, missed and faulty electrical works, etc etc there's just so much, my head is spinning just thinking about it all. AND because of all their stuff ups we still haven't put any flooring down yet, because our home is just a constant construction zone My Metricon Glendale in Sydney. Re: Building with Metricon 5399Jun 07, 2017 10:20 am Omg sorry to hear that. Did they handover to you on the proviso that they would fix it or were these only found after handover?
