Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 2169Mar 10, 2016 6:28 am anyone with an outdoor room on the Glendale able to let me know if there's is a concrete slab on the floor? Our preliminary plans show there is, however our SC tells us the plans are "possibly for a Victorian/Melb design Glendale so not to read too much into it". Wouldn't think it would be too difficult for the company to provide local plans?! We're considering putting exposed aggregate concrete in this area and don't think we'd be able to lay it over the top of existing concrete.

Hi, our Glendale does include the slab for the outdoor room. I believe you can resurface the concrete and add the exposed aggregate concrete. I saw some companies do it. @ Orph build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)!

Build thread - viewtopic.php?t=81517 Metricon Glendale 42 Limited Edition U thought u can delete the outdoor room ? Btw our portico doesn't have a slab and would cost $2k just for a small slab. @ Orph build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)! Orpheus Building the Metricon Glendale 38|Sydney Re: Building with Metricon 2173Mar 10, 2016 9:13 am We assumed it would need to be concrete slab in outdoor room for structural reasons, etc., plus calling an "outdoor room" but having only dirt on the floor seemed a bit odd. For the same structural reasons though, it's strange the slab for the portico doesn't extend out as far as the brick piers that support the balcony. We've only got approx 2 sqm of concrete right at the front door but we're told the rest out to the pillars is only dirt?! Hence our confusion.... Re: Building with Metricon 2175Mar 10, 2016 10:40 am pj87 Anyone else in Vic, have issues with Metricon not ringing back customers, ignoring emails and not passing messages on ? I think its common across the board? I recently was contacted by the customer service dept from M to provide a review of my CSC. Maybe give them a call to vent your spleen? @ Orph build thread: viewtopic.php?t=78328 Dream Metricon Glendale 38 (Sydney)!

Yes I'm afraid so. Thank goodness we were assigned a new CSC and she's excellent. For the past month pj87 Melbourne head office has been going through restructuring. Our CSC said a lot of people had been replaced. so don't be surprised if you've been assigned a new person Our CSC is our main point of contact so keep emailing them and start including others like internal/electrical consultants and your SC viewtopic.php?t=79203 Re: Building with Metricon 2177Mar 10, 2016 11:09 am Mine have been great at getting back to us thank goodness, just terrible with getting things right a bit lol.
