But you have to move them away from the house - we had to stack them up against the back fence. Otherwise they take them away when they do the bob cat work around the house near the end of the build, Building a Metricon Barkly 29 in North Brisbane - https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=77396 Re: Building with Metricon 1468Feb 07, 2016 7:18 pm whitefresh How long does it take to get to final contract? Our land is already titled. Oh ok, You'll get there quickly then. I assumed land wasn't titled why you have to wait 4 months. Process time depends on you then. First prelim then final. We go for loan end of March (broker) because our land titles June. viewtopic.php?t=79203 Re: Building with Metricon 1469Feb 07, 2016 7:21 pm Chaton Emmz70 Hi all.

Or is that actual build time only? We started in June last year and then we were ready Dec but we pushed signing contract to Jan now we wait until land titles hah viewtopic.php?t=79203 Re: Building with Metricon 1472Feb 07, 2016 7:39 pm I think that's only for build time. I haven't asked though... probably should haha😂 They are having to re-draw our plans and contract as they stuffed up so bad Re: Building with Metricon 1473Feb 07, 2016 7:41 pm How are you dealing with them Glendale?

Build thread - viewtopic.php?t=81517 Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition We were about ready to walk but then our SC called us just at the right time. She put in a complaint for us as even she was shocked at how bad they were doing things, so they gave us a tiny discount to get us to come back. If the next contract isn't right my hubby wants to walk so I'm crossing my fingers they get it right this time!! Re: Building with Metricon 1475Feb 07, 2016 7:46 pm Hi Guys, I'm not sure is this right place to ask. Hope someone can help me. When we move to a new house then do we need to register our new address with australia post or is it enough fixing letterbox?

We aren't doing them a favor and are paying a lot of money to build our home. They even tried to charge us for fans in the bathroom when they have to include them for free!! Wasn't happy, and I'm so glad I spent 2 weeks going through the contract otherwise I wouldn't have picked most things up. Yes we have 2 backup options too lol!
