We are looking at building the Metricon Laguna. We bought a land in Beaumont Rise, stage 5. It has just registered last week but the fencing all around stage 5 were still on (at least as of last Friday) so we haven't started anything yet.

We have our slab/frame, wrapping.fascias and gutters done and roof started and I must say that I have been MORE than impressed with every single step of the process with 'M' They have been friendly, super prompt (immediately replying to emails/phonecalls) always starting thing s BEFORE they say they are scheduled and genuinly friendly and prompt. Absolutely no complaints what so ever. As I said though, only at almost bricking stage so will keep you informed, but so far, would go through them again without a second thought Re: Who's building with M3tr!con in Sydney ? 32Jun 04, 2010 6:03 pm hi there, for those that are currently building with M3tr1c0n, have you guys experienced any issue with house valuation? and is there anything that we can do if the house valuation turns out to be much lower than the market price, other than paying upfront the difference? should we reduce the upgrades or should we be changing design of the house? or anything at all . sorry for the silly questions :p Re: Who's building with M3tr!con in Sydney ? 33Jun 08, 2010 11:47 am Our build with M3tr!con is having a few setbacks. To cut a long story short, our land in Beaumont Rise (Beaumont Hills, NW Sydney) has a special front setback requirement of 7.5 metres (more than he normal council setback). We are trying to apply for a smaller setback of 6.5m for the house portico (the rest would be behind the 7.5m line). M3tr!con would rather prefer not doing that (as it may delay the DA process) but we insisted. They are ok with that but they said we will need to provide a "Statement of Environmental Effect" report supporting our DA. We asked for a quote from a town planner: $2,000 to produce that report. That's an expensive piece of paper! But otherwise we have to reduce the house length, which is an option we are not too happy with. Has anyone engaged the service of a town planner. Is that quote reasonable? DKP Re: Who's building with M3tr!con in Sydney ? 34Jun 12, 2010 2:06 pm Building metr1cons fairhaven 33.

On another note we went to Studio M yesterday to finalise a few more costs of extras and upgrades. I have decided I don't really like the stains for the standard timber front entry door and the frosted glass is quite expensive too. So was thinking of going with the Madison 104 (i think it can be painted in any dulux colour) and i had previously chosen it on the envisage website - does anyone know the cost with frosted glass?

As I have no other timber in my facade I think it will look a bit odd. I'd rather a painted door to the colour of my choice. We were told to change to frosted glass is about $179 and to put a nice big handle on it as opposed to just a keyed door handle is about $200. It's alot of extra $$$ to pay out for something I don't really like in the first place. Re: Who's building with M3tr!con in Sydney ? 39Jun 14, 2010 10:34 am Hi All, Mind if I join in? We are building a Newhaven 36 but have added a few bits and pieces so it will be close to a 47!! We are in the middle of finalising contracts we sign on the 9th July. Would love to go to Maitland to see the display that has just opened.
