If it’s less than $250 per day (estimate of your cost of rent and interest) this will allow Metricon to delay your building works if you ask them to fix their defective workmanship before PCI. If Metricons liquidated damages amount is $30 per working day this means for any delays beyond the promised build time they will pay you about $120 per week. Your costs, however, will be more like $1,500 per week. Metricon uses this clause to put financial pressure on customers to accept defects. Many customers have experienced delays and significant extra costs, or have just had to accept defective works.

But cArlise should be cheaper than metricon. Re: Metricon Liberty 42 vs Carlisle Homes Granada Retreat 45 5Apr 12, 2019 1:14 pm Dear All, Have a good read of the contract and specifications.
