Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 7655Aug 23, 2018 3:03 pm Thx. I suppose my issue is that the smooth part of the slab ends above the level of the bottom of the fence, so if I leave the overhang and have to cover it with soil etc I will end up with either 1) a sloping piece of land that falls away from the house towards the fence, or 2) the need to put in a small retaining wall and lift the height of the fence So wondering if anyone else had seen this and cut it off rather than covering it over.

U need the soil around your house to fall away .. So that water dont get under slab. Unfortunately volume builder builds thousands of houses on waffle slab but never tell u that. If u have raft slab this will be less of concern. Re: Building with Metricon 7657Aug 23, 2018 9:23 pm sandymeo I'm upgrading my ceiling height. M said windows and doors will be upgraded automatically. Doed this mean I have to pay for the doors upgrade and Windows upgrade. What about garage height? we are building Mantra 29, M charged 3750 for 2700MM ceiling height which is at the top of Lux promotion pack, Doors height doesnt get increased automatically, our promotion covered the door height to 2340MM, we had to pay to increase the height of sliding door, we are yet unsure if M is going to charge to increase the windows height or would that be increased without charge. I will confirm it when we get to go for electricals etc. Re: Building with Metricon 7658Aug 23, 2018 9:36 pm Wild sandymeo I'm upgrading my ceiling height.
