This was my second build with Metricon, and I’m happy to say the 5‑star experience I had back in 2019 has not changed. Our site manager, [Name Removed], was extremely thorough and highly professional in managing the site and coordinating contractors. Communication throughout the build was excellent, and we were always kept informed. The site was… Read more · 1
consistently clean, well presented, and safe during every visit, which gave us great confidence in the build process. The journey was incredibly smooth, and the home was completed quickly without compromising on quality. Thank you once again to [Name Removed] for making the entire experience easy and stress‑free for us as clients. I would recommend building with Metricon any day, and I would highly recommend requesting [Name Removed] as your project manager he is an asset to Metricon team.
We recently completed the final stage of our home build, and overall it was a smooth and positive experience. The site manager was particularly easy to communicate with throughout the process. Any issues or concerns we raised were acknowledged promptly, and actions were taken quickly to address them, which gave us a lot of confidence during this… Read more · 1
important stage.
It made a big difference knowing that our questions were taken seriously and resolved efficiently without unnecessary delays. The responsiveness and clear communication helped reduce stress and kept everything moving forward as expected.
We appreciate the effort put in to ensure the final stage went well and are happy with how everything was managed.
My wife and I had very good experience with the builder [Name Removed] and the Site Manager [Name Removed]. They communicated via email from start to finish of the progress to date with the constructions, sent us photos of our apartment construction. [Name Removed] was particularly very cooperative and helpful and attended to all of our questions… Read more · 3
raised and ensured that the issues raised were resolved satisfactorily. We are happy with the finished apartment and they have been constructed to the required standards in Victoria. Metricon builders have been prompt to attending issues and they have completed the buildings satisfactorily.

I had an overall satisfactory experience working with Metricon. My site manager [Name Removed] and building support coordinator [Name Removed] are really supportive and easy to deal with. They always address our concerns in timely and professional manner. Show details · 1
Funny enough, our journey with Metricon started with us missing our very first appointment with [Name Removed], as we were overwhelmed and struggling to decide on our first property purchase. What really stood out was that [Name Removed] personally called us after we missed it and, instead of being upset or pushy, simply said, “That’s okay whether… Read more · 1
you choose us or not, but at least let’s have a chat.” That genuine, honest, and no-pressure approach immediately gave us confidence and showed he truly cared about helping us make the right decision.
We had an excellent experience with [Name Removed], our Home and Land Sales Advisor at Metricon. From the very beginning, he was genuinely helpful addressing every question we had regardless they were silly or worthasking :D. He took the time to understand our needs, explained every step clearly, and made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and exciting.
His communication was always quick, honest, and helped us make informed decisions. We never felt pressured, and he made us feel confident that we were in good hands.
If you are looking to build with Metricon, having him as ur advisor will make all the difference, and we are very grateful for his support.

Our journey with Metricon is excellent from the begining to end. We got our house within 10 months after Metricon came on site. Site Manager was very helpful and supportive. Show details · 1

I’ve had a great experience throughout the construction process.

delivering a high-quality product.
I receive the promised Friday afternoon update calls weekly and any questions I have during the week are answered promptly. The build quality has been great above expectations if being completely honest. Any clarifications or adjustments on workmanship have been handled collaboratively, with a lets see what we can do that work for both sides rather than a “this is how it is its built now” approach.
Considering a knockdown rebuild is a significant undertaking of time and funds, this level of communication, flexibility and quality product has made the process much easier. I’m really looking forward to handover, which hopefully isn’t too far away.

We just finished building our first-ever home with Metricon in Thornhill Park and we couldn't be happier! We were naturally a bit nervous as first-time builders, but the team delivered a fantastic experience from start to finish. Here is why we highly recommend them: Great Value for Money: The high-quality amenities and inclusions we received… Read more · 1
compared to the overall cost are absolutely outstanding.
Impressive Speed: We were blown away by how quickly and hassel freely the house was built without compromising on quality.
Seamless Support: A huge thank you to our Site Manager, Building Support Coordinator, and the entire Metrico Team.
Your communication and organization made our first construction journey smooth and stress-free. Thank you, Metricon, for building such a beautiful home for us!
Exceptional Home Building Experience with Metricon! We recently had the pleasure of working with Metricon on our new home build, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the entire experience!

We’re almost at the end of our journey and would without reservation recommend Metricon .
This my first time building a home in Australia, choosing Metricon homes as my builder never has made regret, the lovely team has guided me step by step all the way throughout professional till completion.

We initially started the process with another builder, but while still within the cooling-off period, I visited Metricon display homes in Berwick, VIC, to explore options. During that visit, we met an amazing sales consultant who completely changed our direction. After reviewing our lot, she proactively reached out to let us know that the house… Read more · 1
we wanted wouldn’t comply with setbacks and developer restrictions (something that hadn't been flagged by the other builder). This allowed us to withdraw in time and secure a more suitable lot. From there, we continued the process with her, and she was exceptional throughout. She provided practical, well-informed advice, helped us maximise value within our budget, and ensured we took full advantage of promotions. Her availability was outstanding, supporting us after hours and on weekends, and she always responded quickly.
There were a couple of misunderstandings during quoting (bricks vs Hebel and the inclusion of a fridge water point), but she quickly resolved both issues without any additional fees. We also went through the fast-track process (16-week site start), which was met. However, it does come with trade-offs. In our case, it meant completing all colour and upgrade selections in a single day at Studio M.
This made the process quite intense, as any decision not made on the day would effectively be missed due to the fast-track requirements. It definitely adds pressure, especially given the number of decisions involved.
If you’re planning to build with Metricon using the fast-track option, I strongly recommend visiting Studio M at least a couple of times beforehand. This gives you a much better understanding of the options and helps you prioritise decisions on the day. We did this, and honestly, I don’t think we would have got through it otherwise.
The Studio M team was excellent, very knowledgeable and supportive. They helped us maximise our budget and provided practical advice on what to prioritise, what could be done later at a lower cost, and where it made sense to invest upfront.
While everyone did a great job, the consultant from the electrical section stood out. His recommendations were spot on, especially in helping us understand where to invest and where to avoid unnecessary costs.
Initially, we were advised that we would likely move in around mid to late 2026. However, progress has been significantly faster than expected. Construction formally started on January 13th, and by March 25th, the house is nearly complete, with only minor items remaining (caulking, water heating unit, taps, carpet, and mirrors).
We’ve been advised that the final inspection will take place in early April, with a potential move-in by mid-May at the latest.
The build quality has been excellent throughout, as seen on the job during inspections, and the construction speed has been outstanding. The site manager has also been very responsive and easy to work with, which has made a big difference during this stage.
My wife was initially unsure about choosing Metricon, but she now agrees it was the right decision, and so far, we have no regrets.
If you are wondering, yes, I used IA to write this and make it clearer to read.
Our site manager, [Name Removed], has been an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout our build with Metricon.

times, but he made the whole process much smoother and easier with his clear communication, professional knowledge, practical approach, and positive attitude.
He always showed a real sense of ownership and worked hard to help us resolve problems quickly and efficiently. It was 100 % clear that he cared about our feelings about our new home. We are very grateful for his support and would be more than happy to recommend him to anyone (I've actually done that to our Metricon construction group that consists of 82 homeowners) building with Metricon.
From start to finish we were absolutely rapt with out interactions, the communication and process.

Communication from our Site Manager and supporting team was regular, though we had some supplier delays and hiccups along the way we were kept posted throughout and it did not impede our overall build timeframe.

The benchmark for construction management – [Name Removed] is an absolute asset. We have just wrapped up a highly complex, customized Franklin 46 build over the last 10 months, and I cannot speak highly enough of our Site Manager, [Name Removed]… Read more · 1
and Team Coordinator [Name Removed].
If Metricon management is reading this, [Name Removed] is the exact type of MVP you want driving your projects. He possesses a rare combination of top-tier managerial skills and a genuinely down-to-earth, approachable personality.
Building a custom home of this scale can easily become stressful, but [Name Removed] approach completely eliminated that. He operates with absolute honesty and integrity. He doesn’t waste time with fluff; he is straight to the point and approaches every single situation by asking, 'What is the best possible outcome here?' He is incredibly reasonable, balancing the realities of construction with a commitment to delivering a flawless final product for the customer.
His ability to manage trades, maintain high quality-control standards, and keep us informed made this entire 10-month journey a blessing. [Name Removed] is an absolute asset to the Metricon team, and his exceptional leadership on our site genuinely deserves high-level recognition from the business.
Thank you, [Name Removed], for an amazing job.
Follow-up · Good communication cadence. Messaging / Call and email when required. Give good notice. About 7 months build time. Need to be super sharp to audit the quality along the way.

Do NOT build with Metricon. Yes, they are fast during construction. But the after-sales service is honestly one of the worst I’ve ever dealt with. It has now been 10 months since handover, and I still have multiple outstanding defects that haven’t been resolved. Even the original handover items took around 6 months to fix, which is completely… Read more
unacceptable.
Some of the issues: - Walk-in pantry shelves were installed incorrectly and became loose within a month. Their own technician told me they were unsafe to use. - The front door had to be repainted THREE times due to poor workmanship. - The air conditioning system is clearly undersized for the house — currently in dispute with them because they refuse to properly address it. - The aircon circuit breaker tripped, and I’ve been waiting over a week just to get someone to come and check it.
Communication is slow, accountability is poor, and getting anything fixed feels like a constant battle.
The list honestly goes on.
Save yourself the stress and avoid Metricon (and ABC Homes). Once they have your money, don’t expect any level of service or care.

We had a really positive experience with our pre-site manager [Name Removed] from Metricon and wanted to recognise the great job she did in getting everything ready before construction began. From the start, [Name Removed] was organised, proactive, and easy to communicate with. Every step of the pre-construction process was clearly explained,… Read more · 1
which made a big difference because there’s a lot to take in during this stage. She kept things moving efficiently and made sure all documentation, approvals, and selections were handled correctly and on time.
What stood out most was their attention to detail. [Name Removed] replied to my e mails on the same day and returned all my calls within the same day. She was very easy to deal with and was very polite and helpful. I never felt pressured and appreciated her patience and professionalism throughout.
Overall, [Name Removed] made what can often be a stressful stage feel smooth and well-managed. We’re really grateful for her support and would highly recommend [Name Removed] to anyone going through the pre-site process or planning to build a home with Metricon

a strong standard and in line with expectations.
What stood out most was [Name Removed]’s approach when challenges arose—as they inevitably do in any build. Each time a complex or unexpected situation occurred, he addressed it with honesty and transparency. He took the time to explain the issue clearly, outline possible solutions, and, where it fell within his scope of responsibility and expertise, worked proactively to resolve it. This open and accountable approach gave us confidence and made a significant difference during what can otherwise be a stressful stage.
[Name Removed], as Building Support Coordinator, was equally supportive and professional. She was consistently responsive, approachable, and helpful in coordinating communication and follow-ups. Together, [Name Removed] and [Name Removed] formed a reliable and effective team, maintaining clear communication and ensuring we felt informed and supported throughout the process.
Their combined efforts made the construction phase not only smooth but also reassuring, and we are genuinely grateful for the way they managed this stage of our journey.

The worst builder you ever met. Stay away from this builder. Their service and warranty is absolute joke. Waiting from November to fix a faulty electrical cooktop to fix.

I can only say that our experience has gone from very good at the beginning to quite disappointing toward the end.

When we visited the Selection Centre, the… Read more
staff there were also very patient and supportive during the process, which we truly appreciated.
However, when we arrived at the Selection Centre, we were informed that our Pre-site Manager had been changed becuse [Name Removed] had resigned. Unfortunately, our new pre-site manager [Name Removed] has been quite difficult to work with. Her attitude has not been very friendly, she appears impatient, and her responses have been very slow, which made the communication process frustrating.
Now that construction is finally about to begin, we have discovered that there was an error in the contract price calculation. The finance manager [Name Removed] was initially quite responsive and helpful, but later he stopped answering phone calls and did not reply to emails. This lack of communication feels very disrespectful and unprofessional.
Overall, while some team members were excellent at the beginning, the experience in the later stages has been very disappointing.
