Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 22Jul 11, 2018 9:12 pm Slab has been poured today!! Should be able to post few pics on the weekend 😊 Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 23Jul 12, 2018 12:24 pm Nice!! Just noticed you removed all your bathtubs in favor of big showers! We also did that in our main bath, it's great. We kept the bath in our master and haven't even used it once lol. Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 24Jul 12, 2018 12:51 pm ![]() Nice!!

Haha yeah.. love big shower area ![]() Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 26Jul 14, 2018 9:38 am Hi Johan, Just a curiosity, did they pour slab for garage and alfresco area as well ? Or that would be concrete only. The reason I am asking, my builder is quoted 26k for site cost and said garage, porch and alfresco area would be poured as part of slab, unsure whats the reality and how does it usually work. Thank you. Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 27Jul 14, 2018 10:27 am Hi Wild, The garage & portico were included in the slab pour. When we had the initial plans they didn’t include the portico & told us it isn’t standard. However, M did not charge us extra for the portico slab concrete, we did pay around $2K for floor & skirting tiles for the portico are. For alfresco, this wasn’t part of the slab & M quoted us $3K for the concrete pour with broom finish. We did not go ahead with this as we will be getting wooden decking in alfresco area so it doesn’t matter if we have concrete underneath or not. Cheers Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 28Jul 14, 2018 10:34 am Thanks for the response Johan, In your opinion does it worth paying extra for garage and portico area to be poured as part of the slab or just to have concrete there to save some money ?

I would say anything as part of the slab would definitely be more solid & long lasting than a seperate concrete pour that is more prone to cracks etc.. but depends on how you would like to use the space. If you have plans for tiled alfresco then definitely go for slab.. same with portico.. Maybe save some money for the garage as it’s a rough space anyways to park the car & for storage? It’s your decision my friend. Cheers Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 31Jul 15, 2018 9:47 pm Never noticed the step down on your plans, that's pretty cool. What will be the ceiling height in the front area and garage? 3m+?

What will be the ceiling height in the front area and garage? 3m+? Yep, 3.2 mtrs.. hope it looks good thought! We never knew when we purchased the land Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 36Aug 01, 2018 8:48 am ![]() Exciting time! It's starting to take shape! Thanks Ned.. hope you’re built is going well too Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 37Aug 01, 2018 8:50 am ![]() Happy to see the progress, whats the ceiling height you are going for ? Thank you.. we have a step down in our slab so the front of the house & garage have 3.2 mtr ceiling & the rest of the house has 2.7 Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 38Aug 01, 2018 8:52 am Had a chat with the site manager this Monday who advise that M somehow forgot to order the steel frames when they ordered the material for the framing. It’s been such a beautiful weather in Sydney with no sign of rain & the work is on hold due to no steel frames. Can’t believe such a carelessness from a big builder like M. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 39Aug 01, 2018 12:11 pm ![]() ![]() Happy to see the progress, whats the ceiling height you are going for ?

Re: Building Metricon Liberty 40 Schofields 40Aug 01, 2018 9:06 pm We are getting 2550 ceiling height as part of promotion, increased ceiling height to 2700 is an extra $3500, have you also increased the size of doors and windows to match the 2700 mm ceiling height? No idea about the driveway question, but your price for a house that size including landscaping seems very good! 1 6159 We bought land in Tallawong Schofields NSW size 30m X 12.5m and planning to get double story house build around 350 sqm.
