Re: Somerfield Estate Keysborough 1120Nov 16, 2010 10:16 pm hi neighbours, havent been on for a while, we are now up to lock up stage. wanted to share my dramas with you. we are building with metricon, building the same house as the santorini on display in our estate. anyway, for those of you who havent signed your contracts, my advice is check your drawings carefully! our facade is now completed, however it does not look the same as the display home we chose. when we asked the builder, apparently the facade was built to our drawings. just a minor error which we didnt pick up cause it was sooo minor (and we were busy checking the other 101 things we did change), a narrower timber beam sits between our two front pillars. this beam should be about 20cm, instead ours is only about 10cm and the bricks are not capped. because the measurements are not on the drawings, it really was easily missed, we did go through everything with a fine tooth comb......., but this minor error has resulted in a different looking facade!not happy! we are waiting for the builder to get back to us , its a headache we could have avoided! also, for those of you who are umming and arring about little upgrades here and there.....my advice is just go for it! we ummed and arred about a lot of things, deciding not to upgrade on some minor things such as shower base, sink, tapware, doors etc........ as the house is nearing completion, i am now regretting it! its money saved, but its going to be a hassle after hand over! sigh.....
