Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Open Floor Plan Suggestions 8Jan 01, 2018 4:59 pm PVBuild We've built the Helsinki, which was the Berkshire in the Signature range (they have discontinued it and moved it into the designer range). The floor plan is excellent - really suits us as the orientation is perfect for our block. Huge north windows for the living and dining, a great alfresco area opening up onto the backyard, We extended our alfresco though and changed a few room sizes so the 34 ended up as 38 squares. Metricon isn't cheap; however they do have some good inclusions. Have they confirmed though that they can build this on your block? It's almost 27 metres long, and as your block is 32m that doesn't seem like much wiggle room. Our block is 43m long and it feels super big on our block. You can see pics in my build thread. Metricon don't do landscaping but they do work with Flemings. I had my landscaping plans done independently. They can however do your concreting and driveway. We got them to do our driveway included in the quote. Wasn't much more expensive then getting it done after handover. Recommend doing your blinds after handover though otherwise you'll pay a 30% markup. Agree with you completely. Berkshire 29 would be the right size for us but they don't do one. We've decided to go with the Hayman 29 (if they can reverse the back of the house, ours is a west facing plot). Re: Open Floor Plan Suggestions 9Jan 01, 2018 5:11 pm MandM+4, landscaping I am not too concerned with, our land is pretty flat and we can make do with some DIY initially. I am waiting for the stores to reopen so I can get an approximate quote for the Crimsafe (or another brand of similar type), curtains and blinds. Ours should be about 29 sq house with big windows and 2 big bi-folding doors in the living area. We plan to Crimsafe the whole thing, should be a significant cost, so adding it to the loan might be better. Hello!
