I ended up hiring a brickie and building a brick pier around it. It looks so much better now. It cost me around $650. Got it rendered afterwards. No wonder they will say it is Safe, how could they design and approve such a Hideous design in 2021, you are not happy I am not happy with that pier , they told me it was going to be bit different ,like little bit raised concrete from bottom, sales person even showed me the design from Display house, when i saw that I said that looks acceptable. We trust them too much k think, We didn’t check design properly it’s too much to check. Now the piers looks Like old Man With A walking Stick. I will never go back to Metricon if they don’t Amend or change the design that looks at least acceptable I don’t like my new house even it’s not finished , and I will never recommend them as well with this kind of Hideous design I was forcing my friend to go with Metricon now I am happy they chose Someone else. When you said you hired someone to put Brick around it, does it Void the warranty or something, did you check with Metricon? Would you like to provide the photos how it looks like with the brick. Thx in advance. This post made my eyes bleed. I won’t sleep well, my whole life with that peers in my Mind, it’s a Nightmare.

Thx for the info, even if that wood pier is strongest in the world ,here I am not talking about the strength I am talking about looks of the house ,how does it look at the end.0when people build house they definitely dream of a Dream House, even it always have error or changes here and there. First thing about house or Car or anything is look , we always wish things should be eye appealing, you can just guess how does it looks Like if a Elephant has a Girlfriend Mouse, it will look odd isn’t it, That pier looks exactly like that, you can see the pic. That’s the best way I can describe my feelings about that pier.it looks so odd, I wish there was no pier rather than that pier. Re: Worried about Alfresco pier 20Oct 15, 2021 7:16 am This is going around in circles. It was on the plans, you signed off on it because you didn't look over them closely enough. This happens in building almost every day. The display is not what you're buying unless you've specifically specced the build as per display on everything. Life lesson. Build a brick pier around it after hand over problem solved. You'll live. Geez Dark matter scientist, can breathe underwater, mind reader and can freeze matter just by willing it. Trust me, its in my sig. I should have followed up on this thread. So, the pier foundation wasn't large enough on the side it was leaning towards, and the NBN cable went through the pier, just… 8 12123 Just be careful with building stability during construction, that is when the structure may be weakened, refer to your engineering drawings for stability methodology. 1 7223 |
