Yes, we had that same feeling. You can't really appreciate a big area till you see common things in there for comparison.

Lol ours was the opposite. It needed furniture to make it look more cosy. Cos it looked too big. Specially the family room. And our couch which we though was big. Looks small in our lounge room.

Is the house getting left opened for you?

It's just not locked yet.

I'm excited to see how it looks like with furniture 😍

Not loving the large extra add on to the side of the house due to the corner build requirement. None of the other corner builds have it as large or as elaborate mine. Could have used that money for other stuff 😔

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?

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.

Thanks Shokel! 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.

You have so much nature light coming into your home. Just love it. What colour is the black feature walls? Domino?

Freak_Zombie · Nov 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.

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.

Have you tried looking in your doors and windows quote? What’s does it say in your plans?

viewtopic.php?t=86597

Freak_Zombie · Nov 26, 2019 10:17 pm

Plans says 200 series. Paperwork just says as per studio m consultantation dated (xx/xx/20xx)

Doulton777 · Nov 26, 2019 10:18 pm

So even your windows and doors quote? And contract? Do you have it as a variation maybe?

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?

Freak_Zombie · Nov 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.

dulie · Nov 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?

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.
