Great quality and fast build time
From signing the contract to moving into our new home was less than 6months.
The site manager and all the office staff were great to deal with.
I have had some small maintenances issue that have all been fixed with extremely fast.
Would recommend other to build with Metricon and will probably build again.

A great builder who strives for excellence.
I've lived in my beautiful new Metricon house for over a year and thought this would be the time to write a review. For most of us, building or buying a house is the most expensive endeavour we will ever undertake. For this reason, I've made this a comprehensive review and will split into 3 areas.
1) Metricon specific review: My experience with Metricon.
2) Things to keep in mind when selecting a builder: There are a few sub-optimal traits of the building industry in general that I have observed. I have not penalised Metricon for this in my ...Read more
review, but instead added a section of things that I learned during the building process and my advice on what to look out for. 3) All the non-house related things to do with building a house. Part 1 - Metricon review. Metricon have built me a beautiful house. It is perfect and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The quality of Metricon's workmanship is incredibly high and it shows in the end result, where it is very difficult if not impossible to find fault with any of the finishes. In my case I believe this is down to (1) A very good supervisor who cared about the outcome as if it were his own house (2) Very experienced and high quality tradespeople, most of which I'm told were actually involved in doing work in one or multiple display homes.1 comment

Great experience building with Metricon, SA.
Overall, we had a great experience building with Metricon in SA and would build with them again.
The build process from contract sale to handover took just over a year, which is fantastic given we built the Fortitude 37 to a high specification, and timing crossed over with Christmas and COVID-19 closures.
We are very happy with the team that we worked with end-to-end, everyone was professional and questions were always responded to within 24 hours. [Name Removed], our site supervisor, was fantastic, providing regular updates and scrutinising the build as if it were his own home. We were very lucky to have [Name Removed] allocated to our build.

It all fell apart after the sale
- took 13 weeks to receive first draft plans and fixed price quote
- quote was circa $90k over our initial quote with some standard bolt ons to the floor plan under quoted by more than half the cost.
- the first draft of plans was riddled with errors including proposed location of home. I’m unsure how plans can be issued with so many errors and not to spec requested.
- requested a meeting with the sales manager, her manager and designer and despite meeting being pre booked, not one attended the teams meeting
- refunded of intial deposited was processed without any issues
Over priced compared with a custom builder and glad we jumped ship before it was too late.

Hi Carissa, we do apologise for the delayed response to your review as we looked in to the concerns raised. Although the design confirmation time frame experienced was lengthier than ideal, with some ... Read more
drafting and operations challenges faced during this process, your plan was amended from the initial consultation that took place with your New Home Advisor. As we worked to incorporate requested home features, the revised inclusions, upgrades, and plan re-draws to accommodate the brief, did lead to an increased quote in comparison to that which was originally advised. In reference to the management meeting scheduled, unforeseen display walk-ins impacted the capacity to service face to face customers while continuing an uninterrupted video meeting. We understand this was explained at the time, with an understandably disappointed agreement to reschedule. We thank you for taking the time to share your review whilst allowing us the opportunity to follow up and respond, and we do from here wish you all the very best with your new home build ahead.

Great experience with first time build
We built our first home with Metricon - a three bed, two bath house - and had a fantastic experience.
The people we dealt with at Metricon were all very helpful and guided us perfectly through the whole process, from new home adviser [name removed], to our pre-site manager [name removed] and then our site manger [name removed].
We love our new house and there were no major issues prior to handover or once we moved in.
I would recommend anyone building a new home to look at going through Metricon.
They were always helpful and professional, even during the COVID lockdown period.

Fantastic, Stress Free Experience and Quality Finishes
Our building experience with Metricon was AMAZING! We have built once before with another builder and the two experiences couldn't have been more different. Metricon were genuinely interested in ensuring we got the house of our dreams, while also providing valuable advice on where we could exercise restraint. The site supervisor we were assigned was a superstar and somehow made the construction phase something that we could simply sit back and let happen - no worry, no stress and no concerns over things being done properly. He was insisting on...Read more
fixing things that we didn't even notice as problems, which I am truly grateful for - and I am known for being a pedantic perfectionist! Of course, every build has its challenges however because of the diligence of my SS, I had complete confidence that things would be taken care of and delivered to a high standard - he never once let me down. He went above and beyond on many occasions and made it a collaborative experience by ensuring we were always kept informed, consulted us when necessary to give us the best possible outcome, yet didn't overburden us with details or try to 'pass the buck' when challenges arose. He even took on responsibility for things that he had no obligation for, but made the world of difference to us. I honestly can't believe how easy the construction phase was and the quality of the finished product is second to none. Metricon used streamlined processes with distinct stages so that you always know what's coming next and are given an opportunity to review before moving to the next phase - I really appreciated this approach. If I were to offer a suggestion for improvement, it would be to simplify the pre-site paperwork. In particular, it would be useful to have one continuous document that changes are reflected on rather than separate documents issuing each time, as it was quite time consuming to continuously reconcile them to ensure the correct items were included / excluded. It would also be really great to have an electronic catalogue of all the standard selections and upgrades that can be made so that clients can review these before attending Studio M so that people who have a reflective nature can spend adequate time considering their colour selections and product choices ahead of locking them in on the day of the appointment. Honestly, these are minor blips in an otherwise fantastic build process. For people attempting to choose a builder, please consider more than just the cost. While Metricon may appear to have slightly higher base prices, the range of inclusions and quality of their fittings, fixtures and workmanship is generally of a much higher standard. Their process is also much more likely to result in a quality product as it is done incrementally and you know exactly what you are getting throughout the journey. I would not hesitate to build with Metricon again - they were brilliant.1 comment

Absolutely love my first home by Metricon
The whole building process with Metricon was really great. It was my first home and my first build and I really had no idea how to do any of it but the team at Metricon were so friendly and helpful that I felt well informed from the start and confident my build would run smoothly.
I had a brilliant new home advisor who went above and beyond, giving advice on how to choose the right block of land and assisting with numerous queries during the initial stages of choosing a home design. He helped to choose and modify a home design that would get t...Read more
he most out of the shape and size of my land and that included all of the features I was after in a first home. My pre site manager was also wonderful -extremely helpful and patient with selections and very flexible with a few changes I made. My site manager managed the build extremely well, with completion in 5 months and so far no structural / building issues (I have been in the house for 4 months now). There were a few minor issues at completion (a scratched window & leaking down pipe) that were fixed promptly once I reported them after moving in. Overall, I'm really happy with the quality of my home and so happy I chose to go with metricon, a speedy, stress free build with excellent customer service.

First time building and had a wonderful experience with Metricon
From the sales team to our site manager, everyone we dealt with was highly professional and helpful. Every step of the way went smoothly and on time (apart from COVID restrictions). If there were any issues they were solved quickly. Our site manager, [name removed], was everything you could want in a site manager - extremely professional, helpful, thorough, excellent communicator, supportive and you could always get in contact with him.
The quality of our house has surpassed our expectations and we would highly recommend Metricon as your builder. They have built our dream home... but if we every built again we wouldn't hesitate to use them!

Would I build again with Metricon? Absolutely! My wife and I built our dream home with Metricon. The entire process was made as easy and seamless as possible and we felt valued and looked after. Metricon kept every promise they made and the house they built for us is of very high quality and good value for money.

and only very minor post-build issues remain, which we are confident will be addressed, as our site manager clearly stated that his job doesn't end at handover. In fact, he has already visited the home to check how things are going and has taken note of any outstanding imperfections. Metricon has great designs that can adapt to a variety of blocks and requirements, and a nice range of selections and upgrades. We were assisted to find the best materials and choices to make the house look beautiful and cohesive. The project was very well managed and Metricon showed great awareness of encumbrance requirements and how to meet them in the most cost-effective way possible, without sacrificing quality. There were no surprises, the price we were quoted after our selections is the price we paid. At the same time, Metricon showed adaptability to non-structural changes to ensure we were happy with every detail. The build times were faster than we expected and Metricon met the timelines they estimated. On handover day we were given the keys to a beautiful home that had everything we needed, including items that are often implemented after handover, such as blinds, driveway, etc. We are very happy and feel that we're living in a display home every day!1 comment

Water leaking into garage from boundary wall. Metricon won’t fix even after getting an independent inspector’s report!
Our house from Metricon’s designer range was completed in July 2019. Ever since handover, we noticed a damp concrete edge with salt damp along the inside boundary wall of our garage. The garage floods during times of heavy rain. The concrete edge and internal wall are displaying moisture levels well beyond what is acceptable. The insulation batts within are soaked and the skirting board swollen and bulging.
We have been in talks with Metricon about this issue from August 2019 to June 2020. We engaged 2 building inspectors, a landscaper and ev...Read more
en our home insurance, all of whom have suggested it is a building fault. Our specialist inspector performed a small area of testing to reveal that the concrete upstand was not built to the engineer’s specifications, the waterproofing provided was unsatisfactory and certain components were missing, resulting in water leaking through the boundary wall. They are still not acknowledging any responsibility for their defective work, probably because it will be costly to rectify. We’ve already spent over $2000 getting inspectors to investigate this and to write up a legal report, which you would think is enough to incite action. It appears we will need to take it to the CBS or a lawyer next, which will cost even more money. What’s worse is that the Head of Warranty is purposely giving us the runaround, delaying responses, making excuses and never replying when she says she would. We tried to reach out to other higher positioned staff at Metricon, but have received no replies to voicemails or emails. We have tried to be reasonable and just requested for the non-compliant work and associated damages to be fixed, but to no avail. Metricon has treated us appallingly when they ironically pride themselves on their seemingly good reputation, which was our reason for selecting them in the first place. Their negligence and unprofessionalism with regards to this incident has caused us great distress, which has eaten up almost a year. If you are considering a build with Metricon, please bear in mind that if they can do it to us, then they can do it to you. We do not recommend building with Metricon.2 comments

Cracking, Water leaking, Definitely NOT the Best...Trust Mislocated
We built our home with Metricon about five years ago. There have been numerous issues and headaches with the house including, but not limited to,
- Cracking: Just recently we found several brick cracks on our exterior walls. One of them is more than 2.5 meters long (a vertical line from the top to the bottom across the middle of more than 20 bricks). Cracking is actually not a new issue with the house. We had complained to Metricon about several cracks (on our balcony pillars, interior skirtings, door frames, etc) before. Metricon always r...Read more
eplies that everything is up to industry standard and the new house requires time to settle down. But this time, cracks are on the exterior walls and very long. We are highly concerned about whether there is some issue with the house's supporting foundation and whether this will do further damage to the house. We hired a local reputable brick repair company, Adelaide Brick Repair, to investigate the issue. They said those cracks are very unusual based on their long industry experience and suggested using a specialized camera to go underneath and check if there is water leaking with the drain. We reported this to Metricon. While this is indeed a possibility based on some news with cracking Metricon House (https://amp.theage.com.au/national/victoria/metricon-ordered-to-rebuild-fouryearold-cracking-melton-west-home-20141211-1257il.html), Metricon refused to check this. Instead, Metricon blamed on thermal expansion from the Sun exposure and movement of slab due to natural settlement of soil, and said they would not do anything for those cracks. Come on. The house was built five years ago, and the house is still moving? If it is the case, how 'easily movable' is Metricon house? Also, we ask around our neighbors whose houses are on the same piece of land and there is no crack with their houses. How come Metricon house has cracks while other houses on the same piece of land don't? We cannot think of any other answer than the difference in the builders’ quality. Furthermore, how can Metricon blatantly admit that simply Sun exposure can cause long cracks on exterior walls of Metricon house? If this is the case, how fragile is Metricon house? We are just an ordinary family and feel hopeless to argue with a massive builder like Metricon. Metricon would rather spend a great amount of money on TV commercials and massive advertising than be more focused on avoiding causing and solving issues like these. The quality-to-price ratio is low. Evidently they are just one of those ‘typical’ builders - houses may look nice in the advertisement but in fact give homeowners numerous headaches to worry about and frustration to regret about. Metricon is no better than them, definitely NOT the best. We feel our trust is mislocated.5 comments

And now he can confirm the cause remotely? Wow, your engineer is so talented. Our neighbor is a submarine engineer and he reckons this is not right. As mentioned, we hired an independent inspector, Beyond Built Inspections, to investigate the exterior wall cracking issue. The situation is not as simple as Metricon claimed. The independent inspector reckons the builder has not put in the control joints as per the engineer’s design, which can cause the cracking issue. In fact, the long crack is getting bigger and we also find new small cracks around the same corner recently. We request Metricon to properly fix the cracking issue as soon. If Metricon chooses not to be responsible for the issue, we will lodge an official case to SA Consumer Affair and Business Services.Similar opinion? Write a review on ProductReview.com.au!

Excellent Experience
The whole experience was excellent from start to finish. Our site manager [name removed] was great to deal with, very professional and easy to approach. The quality of the build is exceptional. The few very minor issues we had (scratched window, oven gas leak, door seal) were repaired almost immediately without fuss. We highly recommend building with Metricon and would build with them and happily use [name removed] again.

on achieving the customized build. As can be expected with any build there maybe some minor defects to be rectified. My previous experience with another builder was very poor non existent after sales service. I was so impressed with Metricon's after sales service to rectify my issue even after 2 yrs. Again they provided me with top quality tradesmen such the outcome of the fix was perfect. Well done Metricon team!

As a first home owner and builder I expected a couple of hurdles but i also trusted the “professionals” to help with the process.
Everything through the build was great.
Then i moved in.
I noticed that when i emailed through my carpet choice i indicated that i wanted to select a different tile.. i never got a response, so i assumed then that she has chosen a tile like i described. But that didn't happen, although she definitely got my email because the carpet was correct.
Empty promises! My site manager then said he would close the gap Under the cupboard in my dishwashing provision with a kickboard and change the handle on the butlers pantry.. never happened..

The Best Building Experience
I was quite nervous about building our first home as generally when you research builders online you only ever hear the negatives.
From day one Metricon provided an experience above my expectations.
[name removed] in the sales team provided me with advice and guidance on what to look for in a block for months before I found one that suited my requirements in the suburb I wanted and then stuck with me and helped me create a completely custom floor plan.
After signing a pre-contract I moved to making my selections and was handed to my pre-sit...Read more
e manager [name removed] who was incredibly patient with all my particulars and his team ensured I made the right selections. [name removed] went above and beyond helping me complete the little things that prices up they don’t usually do (like a dog door priced up to be build straight into my Glass sliding door) pre build. Throughout this whole stage [name removed] was only a phone call away and I never needed to chase him up and the new selections centre is inspiring. After signing the contract I feared that the service might drop but it did not, my concrete was poured within two weeks (approvals were all completed whilst I made my selections) and my 280m2 house was competed within 6 months correct to the week he estimated on first contact. [name removed] my site manager was amazing and when I build again I’ll be specifically requesting he manage my build as there were no questions un-answered, our house is perfect and the two little issues I’ve had post handover he got a tradesmen out the same day to fix. In my eyes [name removed] efficiency has saved me thousands of dollars as I have only has to pay my mortgage for the land for a short time whilst he built it.1 comment

First time home builder. Was very excited but still nervous about the whole journey, but even from the very beginnings, the consultant we saw to discuss was very helpful in answering all questions and clearing some doubts we had at that stage in time. He was very informative and gave us a clear picture in what the stages would entail, how long we should expect each of these stages would take, what hardles we might come across and if we did(as it can be with building), metricon would be with us all throughout.

build with metricon. Even through the choosing the colour schemes, textures etc of the house, the consultant helping us with this was very understanding that it was our first build and she was very patient with us when we kept changing our decisions. With the build itself, we were very happy with how everything was managed. Our house was build in record time, even beyond our expectations. We kept being pleasantly surprised each time we went to see the progress of the build, with how quick it was all coming along. Our building supervisor, [name removed], was very efficient, and we are very happy with his work. He kept updating us with how the house was going through all the stages. He made sure we all met at each important point of the build and explained clearly which stage of the build we were at. He was very accommodating and flexible when it came to meeting up times, with me working longer shifts, i wasn't always available at times that suited him but he was very understanding and always put his client's first and i was very happy about this. He was very committed and dedicated to his work and to making sure that the house's timeline was met, and we are very very grateful for that. Hand over was a smooth process, and next thing we knew, we had the keys to our new home. There were few items that required fixing after, such as the garage roller doors, etc, but [Name Removed] followed all of this up and made sure everything got done and fixed before the week was over. I was very very satisfied with how that was handled. Overall, we enjoyed our experience with building our first home with metricon. Everything was hustle free (which is what you'd want especially if you were a first time builder like us). We love our home very much. It is very surreal everytime i wake up in my beautiful home. Our friends were very impressed with the overall quality of the build, so much so that they decided, when they too are ready to build, they will choose metricon. I have recommended, and will continue to highly recommend metricon to whoever wants to build. We would again, like to say thank you to everyone at metricon, who were with us throughout our journey.

Fantastic experience from day 1 to the end.
From the day we signed the contract to the day we got the keys we were super happy.
We were always kept up to date with what was happening, any issues were addressed before it was a problem and fixed straight away.
SS [name removed] was outstanding, nothing was ever to hard. Always replying to our emails on weekends and late at night and always onsite checking the quality of the work.

Dream home built by Metricon
Our entire experience of building our first home with Metricon was fantastic & they had a great bunch of people to deal with at each stage of our journey. The Sales Consultant with whom we began our relationship with Metricon was excellent & he gave us a clear idea on timelines & what were some of the likely hurdles we may come across with constructing a house. The support we received from him in helping us choose a block of land, putting in offers, working with us on the home designs simply went above & beyond. We even had a coffee meeting on ...Read more
a Sunday at the Metricon office to put together final touches on our house design & upgrades, making it such an exciting experience of building our first home. We were even able to tweak the design slightly to include space for a study in the house, which wasn't part of the original plan. As they say, first impressions are important & we didn't need to look further after our first meeting with our Sales Consultant. To make the deal even sweeter, the double grant offer from Metricon is probably the best in the market for first home buyers & it helped us save 1000s of dollars on our deposit! Moving on to construction, having a friendly & wonderful site manager is extremely critical in the house build journey & we felt like we had one of Metricon's best site managers in that aspect! We could talk to him anytime, he was very knowledgeable & we felt like he shared in our excitement of building our first home even though he must have worked on so many projects before. We could literally see our dream home take shape right from pouring the foundation, to framing, to brickwork & completion of all interior works. Our Site Manager ensured that he met us at each important stage & briefed us exactly on what they were working on, how they are going to go about it & what were the timelines looking like. His commitments on timelines were brilliant; our foundation was poured in mid September 2019 & we walked into our dream home for key handover in Feb 2020. This was simply unreal for us & when we compared notes with some of our colleagues & friends who were building with other builders, we beat them all hands down in moving in to our home! There were no shocking surprises for us in terms of extra costs during the construction journey as a lot of possible extra costs were informed to us up front by our Sales Consultant as well as our Site Manager even before the slab was poured. During the construction phase, the tradies & contractors on site were friendly too & we never received any complaints from the neighbours about excessive noise, debris, etc. In fact one of our neighbours actually complimented us that they never even felt like there was someone working as they were so quiet & clean in their work! Metricon were very professional with their work at the site & we would like to complement them on this. Watching our home come to shape has been one of the most unforgettable experiences of our life & we will cherish these memories for a long time! After having completed over a month after moving in, we would like to applaud Metricon on the quality of construction. The house has a beautiful finish overall with a lot of thoughtful touches. Small things like having a spacious shower area, handy storage cupboards & spaces, quality materials used throughout go a long way in completing a picture perfect home! Tiling work is so precise, right down to the geometrical symmetry; laminate flooring has a smooth & luxurious finish; carpeting is even & smooth giving a high quality feel to the house. The attention to detail is something we really appreciate & it is in abundance in the quality of work that we have seen. All in all, we could not be happier for choosing to build our dream home with Metricon & would highly recommend them!
