Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 8377Mar 17, 2019 11:47 am MLC Joker Plcnewhome The HIA contract is totally one sided and NOT in favour of the consumer. I signed a “standard” HIA fixed price contract last year and it is the biggest mistake of my life. The builder has you by the short ones and if you get to the point where you need to terminate because they are doing the wrong thing you are screwed. So true,should be illegal as they say u sign a standard hia contract that makes customers think it's a government drawn contract ,when it fact it's nothing near the best contract for consumers. Thanks all for your feedback re HIA contract. But what to do as it has to be signed for the build to commence?? There will always be negative cases. If u already decided to build what is there to think about. The contract is std as per any large volume builders. Some worst than others but they are more or less on same level. Re: Building with Metricon 8379Mar 17, 2019 12:20 pm MLC Thanks MyFirst - yes true whoever we go through will have some sort of similar contract... part of the process. Fingers crossed ours will be a positive experience! I think u r in Melbourne right. Seen a few houses build around my area by metricon. They look pretty good. Also on this forum those in melb building with metricon they all seems pretty happy with it. So theoritically should be alright. Re: Building with Metricon 8380Mar 17, 2019 12:38 pm Nah, most will have the same sort of contract,so accept it,no way,just plain wrong,get a pre contract inspection and change contract significantly,you will regret it if something goes wrong,and the chance of something wrong is almost a certainty,this cow manure of not being allowed to take contract with you is enough to say,stick your house up yours or give me the contract ,and personaly if I was told that,I would walk has that's a huge red flag.
