It will help a lot any name or website. www.buildingexpert.net.au Hi thanks for the tip, I'll give them a shot hopefully they also work on Sydney Re: Vantage 42 (S-Series) by Metricon in Victoria 14Jul 16, 2019 11:13 am Sad news, they don't do building inspection in Sydney only Melbourne. Subsequently, I have contacted a company in Sydney and what they do is to inspect and report back to you, then you get to deal with the company yourself, it is up to the company then to decide if it does the fixing or not. I'm thinking if you are a Builder Inspector (BI) you should be able to stop anything you deem wrong and ask them to correct it on the spot (after all BIs are experts on dealing with these type of issues), by the time the BI report back to you and you back to the Company it is too late to stop the tradies from keep going, after all, they want to finish as quick as they can and get the money right? Not good enough for me and my hard-earned $2000. Anybody from Sydney with a good Builder Inspector? Phone, web sites are welcomed.

They probably won’t. If defects are identified it will be up to you to Negotiate with Metricon.

You need to do due diligence as to qualifications and experience. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage. Cleaner Neater Smarter Cheaper Supa Gutter Pumper.

Re: Vantage 42 (S-Series) by Metricon in Victoria 19Jul 17, 2019 9:35 am Guys I've heard (read) the comments and they really are interesting and valuable. Now is there anybody with a recommendation on a company or person in Sydney who can act as Building Consultant. I've been asking this question all over the forums, so far I have found only one good company in Melbourne (buildingexpert.net.au) I need one recommendation for Sydney. Surely I'm not the first one to think about employing a Building Consultant or are you guys doing your projects based on luck and good faith? Re: Vantage 42 (S-Series) by Metricon in Victoria 20Jul 17, 2019 12:17 pm You would need to check first with Metricon how they would change your ‘standard’ contract to accomodate a building consultant in their construction process. I don’t think their business model currently has any meaningful quality assurance process. Quality is something they expect you to manage after final payment and handover. Your best bet might be to go visit the display homes and walk around in them, and take photos. Get a feel for it in person instead of deciding from the floor plan.
