Hi Metricon, not liking the feedback? Don't work for Metricon, don't know anyone who has worked for them and don't intend on building with them. Nor do I work in the industry. What I do know is that the key to many successful organisations is looking after staff. Especially staff who do well. While some of the above crictism in regards to other issues is relevant knocking a business for rewarding and recognising high performing staff is a bit silly IMO. They are a private business and entitled to spend their cash any way they like. I've built a few times and I am well aware of the pitfuls of building with volume builders and yes they have some questionable practices. But this criticism IMO is a bit over the top. motivatorater for staff and creates a great competitive working culture. Re: Metricon Experience 18Jan 31, 2018 8:27 am SaveH2O There is a Victorian Variation listed under Appendix Part D1 in the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA), Part 3 of the National Construction Code (NCC) that removes the Building Code of Australia (BCA) Parts 1 & 2 of the NCC as a Deemed To Satisfy (DTS) requirement for roof drainage installations in Victoria. The Plumbing Regulations 2008 adopted the PCA in 2008. The PCA at the time of adoption (2004 edition) made no reference to the BCA under the DTS provision for roof drainage systems. On May 1 2011, the PCA was introduced into the NCC as Volume 3. At was at the time of this adoption that Victoria introduced the variation into the DTS provisions of Part D1 to exclude the inferior BCA as a DTS provision for roof drainage systems. Victoria has at no time adopted the BCA as a DTS provision for roof drainage systems. Despite this, numerous project builders have flouted the regulations by using the non compliant laxer BCA provisions which have then been passed by the certifiers who until recently were employed by the builders. I have heard that the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) have in recent times started policing adherence to roof drainage compliance.and this almost certainly will be what the "new plumbing regulations" you were told about referred to. Thanks SaveH2O, good to know all the background details. Re: Metricon Experience 19Jan 31, 2018 8:27 am Aflo JM1911A1 Aflo The nerve. Companies recognising and rewarding their top performers.

Competitive meaning whose made the most profit by gouging customers and delivering substandard work in order to generate higher profits. Yep. Great on them. Truly, you'd be best leaving people to vent their grievances and not interfering as all its creating if you are or aren't from the company is an additional bad name for them as this is the only thread you've commented in and reads highly ridiculously attempting to excuse as "that's what business is".

On my build and many others they have clearly missed the mark and I see no reason why senior management should be rewarded in this instance. They may be a private business but like any company they have a corporate responsibility to deliver their builds on time to a satisfactory quality which as we all know at minimum means building to NCC. It is completely unacceptable for them to do the opposite and reward their management team for it then post pictures on social media that they are proud of their achievements. For your third post, I suggest you learn to spell and provide some first hand experience about why Metricon should be considered as a builder of choice if you are to be treated with any credibility.
