Ours says only if occ permit in place before our build permit issued. I think we have just missed out on avoiding it! . Can it be removed easily?
Brilliant! That’s what will happen to ours! Thanks 😀
Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 8338Mar 10, 2019 1:30 pm Ours is still being build but we experienced delays in important fixes. We have broken roof tiles above the garage, dining and alfresco areas. These were broken when their contractors were doing the walls on the second level in Nov last year. These have caused flooding into the ceiling everytime there is rain and until now these were not fixed yet. It has already destroyed the ceiling of the garage and the one in the dining have visible water marks. Some walls have moulds which they patched up but who knows what the condition of the walls are on the other side. The site supervisor said that the ceiling in the garage will be replaced who knows when as the roof needs to be done first. I actually don't think they care about the house nor their customers. The roof is one of the most important part that protects the house from any rain damage but going 4 months now and the roof is still not fixed. Here are some of the photos.

My recommendation is TAKE CARE! Based on my contact with other Metricon customers, and the reviews visible on social media, I understand the above are all common defects with Metricon's Homes! and an are an accepted feature of their Business Model and corporate DNA. Initially Metricon tried to tell us these defects were 'Normal' and 'Character' before moving to more questionable tactics to try to get us to accept them...

If I were a supervisor on your job I’d have had the roof repaired almost immediately, even if it meant I had to do it myself. Absolutely ridiculous they’d let it get to this point with visible mould and water marks. God sake this stuff makes my blood boil, I really feel for you. Best of luck.
