Sorry to put a dampener of your build, but if i could go back to pre contract I'd advise myself to pull out and find another builder. M were good and made good houses but they've taken on too many jobs, don't have the staff to manage the work load and have let quality go out the window. They've had so many builds go bad, delayed, the waste on my site is crazy, and I know I'm still paying for it even if it is a fix price contract. I'd like to say mines is a one off but hearing of too many M jobs going bad, even my landscape has said he's not going to schedule me in until I've actually had handover because he's been burnt on Metricon home jobs.

Who needs a site manager or QA when you have clients checking everything.

A friend is building a Designer series but larger is making great progress with their SM. 9 weeks and they are at bricking stage. There's a good chance that we might be getting the same SM. We have been very picky and made sure that everything we asked for we got. If we had extra $300K we would definitely go with a customer builder for sure. Thanks for your advise. Re: Metricon Liberty 45 in Ryde NSW 280May 14, 2017 2:11 pm QM We keep a spreadsheet of changes and we reference it after we get an updated plan from M. I am sure we will leave something out but will do our best to check the plans.
