Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 05, 2023 7:41 pm Re: Metricon Lumiere 3Mar 06, 2023 7:28 am Osh187 i would suggest doing a review of customers' comments on social media about Metricon's behavours, quality and ethics before considering their nice home designs. Metricon's display homes, their marketing, managed 5 star reviews, and their sales talk are not representative of customers' real pre construction planning, construction, and post sales experiences. Also please consider Metricon's well reported recent cash flow issues and staff downsizings. Buyer beware!
Re: Metricon Lumiere 5Mar 06, 2023 1:31 pm Hey Thanks for the replys! Yes, I have only just begun researching as we have only just seen the display. I thought I would put it out to the forums to see if anyone had a build experience with this particular house while I am starting to investigate Metricon as a whole also. Definitely, I have joined a few Facebook groups for Metricon aswell to get some current feedback on peoples experiences and quality etc. We are also going to start looking into custom builders too. All options are wide open at this stage, let the journey begin 😊 Appreciate the tips and advice! Thanks Re: Metricon Lumiere 6Mar 06, 2023 2:03 pm Osh187 Hey Thanks for the replys!

Thanks make sure you join the Metricon disappointed home owners facebook group (if you haven't already). Might i suggest that if you're looking at spending that type of coin, taking a look at Thomass Archer? They have off the plan, semi custom and custom options. They would be in the same ballpark final cost wise on a Lumiere 62. Re: Metricon Lumiere 7Mar 06, 2023 2:31 pm ponzutwo Osh187 Hey Thanks for the replys!

Just wondering how it compares to our builds.

I Re: Metricon Lumiere 12Mar 06, 2023 6:01 pm Ponzutwo Starting a new thread as too many messages embedded. I know what you mean. The only explanation I can come up with is that they build a seriously impressive display home, I I guess for non readers of this forum, they have a well known name. Display homes make a huge difference in convincing customers to choose you over the competition, and for us little guys we have to rely on word of mouth mainly. I used to work with Peter Campbell ( Clarendon founder) and he would tell the story about when he started and couldnt sign hardly anyone up until he scraped enough money for his first display. Equally, and especially in Melbourne Metricon spend up massively on their displays, which I have to say are impressive.
