Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building with Metricon 5670Jul 18, 2017 1:31 pm Good advice elieassi1992. I agree, if you're ok with the cat 1 flooring options provided then it's great value. But if you're not, it'll end up costing more than doing it post hand over with something nicer. Re: Building with Metricon 5671Jul 18, 2017 1:40 pm blackcat20 We've got our 28sq double story currently sitting around $300k, but we will do a few upgrades at studio so it will go up a bit. That 300 is with added alfresco and numerous upgrade packs. Thanks. Ours will be single storey, not more than 28sq. Current quotes are $310-320 with basic facade, value packs and not many upgrades. These quotes don't include the driveway as from what we have gathered, it's always cheaper to do this after handover? NSW prices seem to be higher than VIC. Hopefully with help/advice from the lovely people on this forum, we'd be able to stick to that budget Re: Building with Metricon 5672Jul 18, 2017 1:45 pm hunter_home blackcat20 We've got our 28sq double story currently sitting around $300k, but we will do a few upgrades at studio so it will go up a bit.

SSticking with the base facade but adding the outdoor room (it was one or the other for us).

Many thanks elieassi1992. We only have hard copies. None of the three builders that we have been to have given us electronic copies. It's so strange, Metricon won't even give us a copy of the plan (not even a hard copy) unless we agree to go ahead and pay the deposit. The sales consultant said he's not allowed to give it out! We've been working off the plans on their book/website. I'll try to scan/take pics of the hard copy when I get some time this week...

You should be able to get a full standard plan on PDF showing not only the floors plan but the elevations as well. My KDR Metricon Hampshire - Liberty - 45 viewtopic.php?t=86114 Re: Building with Metricon 5676Jul 18, 2017 9:24 pm Agreed with Renman, I would push back and insist on PDF plans. Anyone who expects you to fork out $300k without information on what you're buying doesnt deserve your business! Re: Building with Metricon 5677Jul 18, 2017 9:41 pm I also agree with above! I wouldn't be doing anything without all the information. Our SC gave us lots of info and plans. We had various options of the same house type too as well as having it sited on our block and we hadn't paid a cent or signed anything. Sounds very strange that he won't provide you plans. Go to another SC if you're not getting what you want Metricon Metro 32 KDRB Bayside Melbourne http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=84012 Re: Building with Metricon 5678Jul 18, 2017 10:08 pm We were given plans at our first meeting and paid the holding deposit at the second so they can do it. Re: Building with Metricon 5679Jul 18, 2017 10:14 pm It's only a standard drawing. I have message another member in the forum that is building the Vantage for a copy of the standard plan.
