Building our first home felt daunting — until Adam made it clear, simple, and manageable. From foundation to final handover on 24 June 2026, Adam explained, guided, and delivered — finishing well ahead of what we expected. First-time builders. Zero regrets. All thanks to Adam. Highly recommend Metricon — and especially Adam. Show details · 1

process and made everything easy to understand.
A special thank you also goes to our Site Manager, Damien. He has been outstanding throughout the build. His communication has been excellent, providing regular progress updates and taking the time to answer every question I have raised. Whenever there has been an issue or a design query, Damien has always responded promptly and professionally, explaining the situation clearly and working with us to find practical solutions. His attention to detail and willingness to help have given us great confidence throughout the construction process.
Although we have not yet reached handover, we are very pleased with the progress of our home and the level of customer service we have received from the Metricon team. We appreciate the professionalism and commitment shown by both Brittney and Damien, and we look forward to seeing the completed home.
Thank you, Metricon, for making the building journey a positive experience so far.

Building a home is a big and stressful journey especially when it's a knockdown rebuild. The building experience with Metricon throughout the construction stage was very positive with the Site Manager Jacyn. We're incredibly grateful to have had Jacyn as such a dedicated and approachable site manager guiding us through it. From the very beginning,… Read more · 1
he made us feel supported, kept us informed, and always took the time to answer our questions and address our concerns. Seeing our home completed way ahead of time and looking even better than we imagined is a testament to his hard work, attention to detail, and commitment to quality. The final finish look and feel throughout the home truly stood out and gave it a real "wow" factor that impresses everyone who visited. We started this journey looking for a great home and ended up with a fantastic site manager too. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through the process.
Our experience with Building Support Coordinator, Saige was always very responsive to our e-mails explaining, replied promptly and took the time to explain everything clearly, which gave us a great confidence throughout the entire process. Your professionalism, excellent communication, and genuine willingness to help made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and well managed.
We also would like to give a special thanks to Danny - our Sales Consultant who started this journey with us and finalising the design of our home.
Thank you Metricon for all the time, effort, and care you put into making our dream home a reality. We truly appreciate everything you've done and couldn't be happier with the final result. We hope to have your continued support as we live in this beautiful home.

Recently completed our build with Metricon and super super happy with the result, and also the process of building. This is our first time building our own place, and big shout out to our site manager Luke for being amazing to work with from start to finish. Obviously it was a stressful process throughout, and there were minor issues and… Read more · 1
setbacks, but overall, I think Luke did a great job of ensuring the experience was as smooth as possible. Communication was consistent, and he went through on all of his promises. Got the house built well well well ahead of schedule, which means we were able to move in sooner. He was consistently professional, approachable and genuinely easy to work with. He kept us well informed throughout the build, communicated clearly and was always happy to answer our questions.
Probably most important part which we appreciate was he took a very practical approach to issues. Whenever an issue arose, Luke was quick to assess it, communicate our options and work towards a sensible solution. He solved problems efficiently and pragmatically, which gave us a lot of confidence that our home was in good hands.
He was also incredibly accommodating and always willing to go the extra mile where he could. It never felt like we were just another project. He took pride in the work being carried out by the contractors, for example, pointing out errors and requesting rectification on small details even we did not notice. The resulting home is a beautiful one, and I would not hesitate to choose Luke again if I were building.
To Metricon Customer Care team I would like to sincerely thank you and your team for the excellent support you have provided regarding the replacement and repair all defect items during last 2 years Today, your contractor attended my home and successfully replaced the sliding door.

It is greatly appreciated.
The house was built in an excellent timeframe. All promised works have been completed. The house is beautiful.

We have almost reached the handover stage and our experience with the sales and construction teams have been excellent so far.

The Build & Administration Team: Patrick (Site Manager / Build Quality): Patrick demonstrated a strong commitment to the quality of the build throughout construction. Both independent inspectors we hired—one at the foundation stage and another during our Practical Completion Inspection (PCI)—confirmed that the build quality was good. The PCI… Read more · 1
inspector made a comment to me about the practical impact of having a supervisor of good caliber managing the site. Patrick was consistently receptive to our independent inspection reports and addressed items without hesitation. When an item fell within acceptable building tolerances, he provided a clear, technical justification so we understood the reasoning. His transparency was particularly evident when black spots began expanding on the cedar timber cladding; he brought the issue to our attention himself—something we would not have noticed on our own—stating he wanted to ensure the right outcome for the project. He then organized a full replacement. He was similarly proactive on site details, including personally intervening to ensure changes to our solar inverter setup were successfully resolved.
Should we undertake another project in the Melbourne North Metro region in future, we would specifically request a site supervisor with his level of competence, committment and standard of oversight.
Jenna & Violeta (Administration / Pre-Site): The administrative side of a build can be incredibly stressful, but Jenna (our Pre-Site Manager) and Violeta made it absolutely seamless. Both were on par with each other in terms of exceptional service—highly organized, incredibly responsive, and always keeping us updated with clear communication. Navigating the paperwork, approvals, and scheduling was an absolute breeze thanks to their efficiency and support.
Violeta was also incredibly helpful when it came to coordinating the changes for our solar inverter setup; she consistently followed up behind the scenes to ensure everything was tracked and processed as per the contract terms.
The Sales Phase:
Anisha (Sales): Our great experience started right at the beginning with Anisha. She provided us with a fantastic, transparent quote and took the time to genuinely explain what was necessary for our build and what wasn't. Because we were doing a knockdown rebuild, our site costs did end up becoming slightly higher, but Anisha had clearly explained exactly what to expect right from the initial stages. Her honesty and clarity gave us total confidence moving forward without any hidden surprises.
The Interior Design & Studio M Phase:
Zayla (Interior Design): Zayla was incredible at bringing our ideas to life. We showed her a few inspiration images from the internet, and she instantly understood our vision. Thanks to her guidance, both the interior and exterior of the home turned out exactly as we had imagined.
William (Studio Electricals): Navigating electrical selections can easily become overwhelming, but William was fantastic to work with. He helped us smoothly navigate all our selections and offered highly practical, real-world recommendations that made perfect sense for our layout. His expertise ensured we ended up with a smart, functional electrical plan without any guesswork.
Overall Verdict:
Anisha, Zayla, William, Patrick, Jenna, and Violeta are absolute assets to Metricon. Because of Anisha's upfront guidance, Zayla's design vision, William's practical expertise, Patrick's pride in his craftsmanship, and the flawless administration from Jenna and Violeta, we highly recommend building with this team!
We recently completed our single-storey home build with Metricon, and overall, we are very happy with the experience.

received great value for money.
A special thank you to Tommy, our Site Manager, who kept us updated throughout every stage of the build. Since we don’t live in Melbourne, his regular communication and progress photos gave us peace of mind and made the whole process much less stressful.
Last week, we visited the house after handover and found everything to be in great condition. There were only a few minor defects, which we have already reported to the builder. We are confident that these issues will be addressed promptly.
Thank you, Metricon and Tommy, for helping us build our new home. We truly appreciate your hard work and professionalism throughout the journey.

Sales Rep. Helped a lot with choosing options, extending discounts and locking prices.
*Price/Value - 5/5 - highly competitive prices and great value. Upgrades is steep but you can choose to delay the non structural ones for after handover.
*Color Selection 4/5 (excellent consultant but they have no visualizer to show your selections, limited range from supplier to choose from and studio M has limited options to view in person)
*Pre Site - 5/5 - Fantastic consultant. There were few discrepancy which was resolved quickly and to my satisfaction
*Construction - Great Site Supervisor. Provides weekly updates. I also hired a private inspector and Site Supervisor has been good at responding to all issues raised by inspector. So far 5 out of 5 positive experience with 70% of construction yet to go.
Follow-up · Review Since Move in Urgent Repairs/Service issues were addressed in a timely manner. Any issues (damages or imperfection) not picked up in Handover is not addressed at all. Ensure you do as much as you can to pick issues before hand over. Everything later becomes we don't know when that happened or if we (builder) caused it. Overall good experience.

I am quite disappointed with my experience building with Metricon. One of the main reasons I chose a large builder was because I thought the quality and customer service would be better than smaller builders, but that hasn’t been the case. From the beginning, I felt rushed through the whole process. The appliances in my package were later changed… Read more
due to unavailability, and I ended up with a cooktop and dishwasher I don’t like. The colour appointment was especially stressful — I clearly said it was my first time building and that I wanted to take my time because I was spending tens of thousands on upgrades, but I was constantly told there was another appointment and we needed to hurry. I had less than 20 minutes to choose bathroom tiles. I was told about the price for the upgraded items but was never properly explained the differences or functions.
It was also very hard to visualise anything properly. Most selections were done using small samples, brochures, and laptop images instead of proper displays like you see in places like IKEA or Bunnings, so it was hard to picture how the final kitchen or bathrooms would actually look.
There were also things that were never clearly explained. I paid around $3,200 for curtains and blinds, but later found out kitchen and laundry weren’t included. Flyscreens were also not installed on the laundry, dining room, or front door, and this was never properly explained — if I had known, I would have added them during the build.
Even the plans were misleading in some ways. The shower screen looked about 1800mm wide and 2000mm high on paper, but the actual shower cabin is only about 900mm wide, which feels much smaller. The bathroom shower should have a spiral hose, not the standard hose currently installed. The quality of the current hose is also unsatisfactory. After moving in, I also noticed the sliding wardrobe doors feel thin, and despite asking for more bench space around the cooktop, it wasn’t done. I cannot even put a decent size chopping baord on the side of the kitchen as there is not enough room. The dishwasher is also very noisy. cheap quality entry appliances were used such as solt and Inalto.
The double garage driveway is too narrow to comfortably accommodate two vehicles side by side. Even when two cars are parked on the driveway, there is insufficient space to properly open the doors of either vehicle. This significantly impacts the practicality and functionality of the driveway.
I also didn’t hire inspectors at every stage, only at final inspection, and even then my inspector was told to hurry up, which shouldn’t happen at all.
Looking back, I would seriously consider buying an established home instead. At least you can see exactly what you’re getting before committing, rather than finding out after you move in.
Overall, I feel like the focus is more on pushing customers through the process rather than helping them make informed decisions they’ll be happy living with long term. The house-and-land packages are very basic, and you almost have to upgrade everything.I am looking forward to selling my home in the future and will definitely rebuild something much more liveable.
I ’ve attached photos of the kitchen, which is extremely small, along with the bathroom. The ensuite bathroom is also the same size.
if you ever feel like building any house with metricon please do visit my house or email me([Content Removed) for details and you will never consider Metricon again.

several times during the construction phase. It could have been easily fixed, but it was ignored.
The communication and customer service throughout this warranty period have been terrible. To make matters worse, our site supervisor did a poor job managing the initial build, leaving us to chase up fixes that should have been done right the first time. Building a home is a massive investment, and Metricon’s lack of accountability and poor follow-through after they receive final payment is deeply disappointing.
