Our jorney started on the 1 Nov 2016. We have changed 2 Site Managers, well they've quit. The third one is now doing the work, we are much happier with him!!! We are 3 month behind the initial PCI. Our current SM is saying that we will be finished in early October 2017. Fingers crossed. If your build is slow, my advice don't give them opportunity to provide you excuse after excuse...get on them quickly and dont let them go!!! [img:2ccgnp0u]https://forum.homeone.com.au/u/1_1498354948.jpg[/img:2ccgnp0u] Hi all, We are building a Metricon Liberty 45 in Killara. We are two thirds of the way through the build and have identified significant structural defects in the house. Many elements do not comply with the tolerances in Australia standards and there are significant difference to the contract plans. The slab is not level, the walls and ceilings are not straight, the brickwork is sloppy, the waterproofing is defective, and the site drainage poses a significant risk of slab heave. A quick review of various social media sites indicates these issues are common with Metricon's work. After dismissive and unsatisfactory responses from Metricon's NSW senior management over the past 2 months we have involved NSW Fair Trading and are awaiting their inspection. Has anyone else had a similar experience mid build? How did you resolve these problems? Do you have any suggestions to assist us and Metricon's senior management in NSW to rectify the defective workmanship?

The law states that you have to give the builder every opportunity to rectify damaged or faulty/ bad workmanship first, before you can take legal action. Secondly I suggest speaking to a solicitor, just for general advice, about what will happen after Fair Trading makes a ruling. Be prepared for a lengthy process, but you’ve paid big money for your home so keep at them, don’t let them get away with it. Also I suggest you get in touch with Aaron on Facebook page of Disappointed Metricon Home customers, he has lots of helpful information, (See below pic). And lastly bombard social media with posts about how Metricon have failed you, future customers need to be aware that some builds just go wrong. Good luck!
