Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 32Jul 05, 2018 11:16 am Hello craigo, I found you. Sorry I think I got confused with you and someone else with pm’s when we spoke earlier. Doesn’t matter, got you now. What a cracking house and in adelaide. Love the plans and the changes you made. I agree with your fireplace position. Centrally is great and keeps a large recessed area for tv to be put central to the room. I’m very disappointed we couldn’t put a fireplace, we had 3 planned but at 10-12k each, we had to stop somewhere. Anyways will be watching with interest Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 34Jul 09, 2018 12:40 pm stoff17 Hello craigo, I found you.

Drove past your build the other day, its a monster! Yeah we are adding the fire place after handover now. We were going to do it through M but budget was blowing out. Can you please tell me the details of your solar system and cost. I'm thinking of adding one. Thanks mate! Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 35Jul 09, 2018 1:08 pm Hello Craigo Following your build. You had me hooked at 3m ceilings. Metricon were the only displays that I saw which were 3m high downstairs. And when I started with my Doulton build the first thing I asked for were upgrade downstairs to 3M.

Can you please tell me the details of your solar system and cost. I'm thinking of adding one. Thanks mate! Haha yeah very large. Not sure anyone’s budget sustains when building a home, it’s ridiculous. We blew ours and had to eliminate many things. Sad face. We just wanted most structural things done, which can’t be done after. 3m ceilings, extended alfresco etc. As for solar we have a 10kw system split into 2 5kw, so 2 inverters and was with Bradford solar through metricon. Didn’t want exposed conduit if I done it after. It cost about 12-13k by memory Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 37Jul 09, 2018 4:14 pm stanus Hello Craigo Following your build. You had me hooked at 3m ceilings. Metricon were the only displays that I saw which were 3m high downstairs. And when I started with my Doulton build the first thing I asked for were upgrade downstairs to 3M. Yeah we had to have it as well. 17k later by memory and another 8k for 2.7 upstairs. So much money just disappears Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 38Aug 11, 2018 11:57 am We are also in adelaide and loving your design, we have a very similar build but won’t start till next next (saving saving) We are burnside area and our site costs are about the same!!! I hear you! Do you mind me asking estimate costs of the finished house (no worries if you arent keen on sharing) just wondering as we are spending a fortune compared to others building but our build is a lot bigger than others so hard to gauge! (40 squares)!

(40 squares)! Hi there! Thanks for you comments! Site costs for us are huge because of the extremely reactive clay, its a knock-down rebuild so the soil will be disturbed and due to tree effects. Our block is actually dead flat. Who are you building with? Single or double? We are spending about 650-700 excluding landscaping. How much are you up to now? I feel like I'm not spending enough compared to some of the builds on here haha! Re: Metricon - Savannah 40 - Adelaide Athelstone 40Aug 11, 2018 12:50 pm Oh I understand I see some builds and I’m like wow wish I had that budget! Double story, 4 bd + study, 600 block. 2.7 ceilings top and bottom, butlers kitchen alfresco all the standard things... We are at around $580 not including landscaping HOWEVER we havent done the working drawing yet so structural steel isn’t finalise, retaining wall quotes still to be confirmed and we are yet to go through selections!! We have asked the specs to be higher end so hopefully at selections We don’t go up another $100000 We are putting provisions in for gas fireplace, built in book cases and a wine rack wine /fridge area and depending on final costings will either do them when we have more cash or if they included st build stage.
