It looks like a giant compare to the rest of the street. Did you spend much on that add on? viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 187Nov 19, 2019 6:36 am ![]() I like it. It’s good to be different. Our house stands out too. Out of the whole street. It looks like a giant compare to the rest of the street. Did you spend much on that add on? viewtopic.php?t=86597 I honestly don't know. It was part of the contract. It wasn't an upgrade price. ![]() Anyways I was really happy to learn over the weekend that regardless if my neighbour builds a single storey or double storey house it definitely won't be blocking my rear view 😍😍 The orange line is where the neighbour's house would come up to be at the very maximum.

Unfortunately they've slowed down alot. Hopefully I can still get it by early feb next year as they mentioned. So they added a pegola to the side, basically two pillars. I'm guessing the whole pegola won't be cheap, what with all that bricks, metal beams and rendering. Probs $20k at least? Maybe it was my house design, I've seen some really basic pegolas for some of the other corner plots. Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 191Nov 25, 2019 2:46 am Thanks so much! Big fan of natural light. Always preferred a much brighter home. Woah, really good eye. You're right, if I'm not mistaken they are Domino. Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 192Nov 26, 2019 10:12 pm Super bummed. Today I finally noticed a mistake I missed that metricon made. At studio m I told them to upgrade ALL the stacker doors to. The 300 series. Instead of doing so they only did it for two sets. ![]() Any thoughts guys? Tried looking for an email to prove it but the problem is I only told the consultant during the studio m consult. Especially since they were pushing for me to go for the 300 series. Why would I only upgrade some of the doors then? Anyways they have completed the external rendering. Internally I can see the tiling is close to done! So close. Now all that's left are electricals, bench tops, carpet, taps and toilet.

What’s does it say in your plans? viewtopic.php?t=86597 Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 195Nov 26, 2019 10:17 pm Plans says 200 series. Paperwork just says as per studio m consultantation dated (xx/xx/20xx) Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 196Nov 26, 2019 10:18 pm So even your windows and doors quote? And contract?

Do you have it as a variation maybe? viewtopic.php?t=86597 I would have to check again. Really disappointed. I should not have to check their work. Shouldn't it be sufficient that when I told them to upgrade all the sliding doors that, that would be sufficient? Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 198Nov 27, 2019 11:07 am Oh man. They messed up again. I told them to increase the height of all the windows which they did but only for the ground floor. They forgot about the 1st floor. Urgh. It's probably too late now. I do have it an email that all my window heights were supposed to be increased. Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 199Nov 27, 2019 11:37 am Damn that sux! Unfortunately you have to go through everything with a fine comb when it comes to these contracts and variations. Without anything in writing, I don't like your chances of things changed. Surely there's a variation where they charged you the said upgrades? Re: Metricon Sentosa 52 Modified 200Nov 27, 2019 1:47 pm ![]() ![]() So even your windows and doors quote? And contract?

Shouldn't it be sufficient that when I told them to upgrade all the sliding doors that, that would be sufficient? Such a shame and so disappointing for you. Unfortunately you have to check EVERYTHING with M. I found so many mistakes in plans and in contracts. Felt exactly the same way – I shouldn’t have to do their job for them… But I couldn’t take that chance, so I checked everything. Hi Metricon, I used your service to build my new house, VIC 3088 (690434), a Bordeaux 45. I am not happy with quality of Metricon construction materials to build my house… 0 5476 Hi Emma12, Our brick is called Maddox. It's from The Avenue range by Daniel Robertson (a company owned by Austral). You can see more about it in the brochure here 47 18194 |
