Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 7573Aug 05, 2018 8:39 am reaver Has anyone installed irrigation for their backyard? Metricon says that the tap at the back has to be attached to the house and can not be freestanding. Not too keen on having a hose/pipe going from the tap and across the concrete path. Looking for suggestions on how to provision for backyard garden irrigation and potentially power for garden lighting. Re: Building with Metricon 7574Aug 05, 2018 8:57 am Our SM has left Metricon....really freaking out about this as he was so good. We have a new one...but hoping he is as good as our previous SM.

But we are not at construction yet, so can't show you actual results!

We have significant environmental overlays and need a planning permit before we can go for a building permit. Metricon have had their preferred town planners, Clement Stone quote us, and it seems excessive - $6250 incl GST to apply for and provide all documentation for the permit. Can anyone else share who they used and the costs from the town planner?
