So far the quality of the build has been good and all the tradies have been very friendly. The only thing we are not happy with is the finish of painting, this shouldn’t be an issue as the supervisor has so far been great and we are sure this will be sorted. Show details ·  1

Amazing Denver build with metricon in regional vic – Building our new Denver with Metricon. Our journey started back in late 2018 as we decided to build a Denver 45 on 8 acers in Pyalong, regional vic. At the beginning I was definently anxious about the process and build as I understand the limitations that many volume builders have, particularly when it comes to small details, requests and… Read more ·  1

communication We did have a few small frustrating moment pre site, for example when we arrived at beaumonts to select our tiles, our plans were not there and we were unable to do live pricing, even when we re-arranged to go back there for another appointment this was still the case. However when we got to site eventually (council delays) and we had our first meeting with our site manager [Name Removed]. He was straight forward, honest and realistic about the build process and potential delays and issues we were facing due to all of the construction industry’s present challenges and shortages etc. From that first meeting on site I began to feel confident and comfortable with the build, all of the pre site issues magically vanished when [Name Removed] took control of the build. [Name Removed] and his team of trades we absolutely awesome throughout our 10 month journey, every single one of our trades genuinely cared about our home. There were problems that showed up on site (as there would every site) [Name Removed] would be straight on the phone to me asking which way we want to go about rectifying it, for example there was an eve downlight on the plans that was an oversite as its orientation would shine back onto the roof, [Name Removed] fixed that, there is a list as long as my arm of these small tiny issues and oversites that are all my problem however nothing was overlooked as [Name Removed] was building this home as if it was his own. Throughout the build we would constantly have questions, [Name Removed] was always just a phone call away, he always answered, always gives honest thoughts and realistic timeframes on completion of the stages where we are, what’s happening next, etc etc. if I wasn’t annoying him he would always give me a Friday morning phone call up date or arrange a site catch up to show us progress. Im trully amazed at the level of craftmanship we have received on our build, I know what im looking at and I cant fault it, the plasterers even square set inside all of the wardrobes! I was able to meet all of the trades along the way and they all legitimately told me they love working on [Name Removed] jobs for various reasons such as the site and building always being clean, trades being scheduled correctly, timeframes given were achievable etc etc etc. In summary this project has been truly wonderful and nothing but good vibes as our growing family moved in last Friday when [Name Removed] gave us the keys. A message to [Name Removed] if you read this, thank you so much mate from the bottom of our hearts. Your enthusiasm, motivation and drive are so uplifting. Our new home is going to be so fun for our family and we have you and your amazing army to thank for it all. we owe your big time as this turned out beautiful. Have a good one buddy, its been an awesome journey. A bit shoutout to [Names Removed]. You guys are amazing, loved meeting you all.

Here is the key to your new Delta 21! – I am pleased to provide a positive review for Metricon.

progress and advised of any delays and provided strategies to mitigate these delays. The challenges encountered during COVID with material delays and labour shortage were unprecedented.

Subsequent to the slab being placed in December the remainder of the build occurred in a timely manner. [Name Removed] (and Metricon team) delivered our Delta 21 well within the contract period. The build quality is excellent and delivered the way contract was written.

Our experience with Sales pre-build was also very good. Having compared our experiences with other builders (prior to Metricon) the experience during sales through construction and handover was very professional. Our final costs and estimated costs were as expected – variations priced, agreed and delivered.

False promises and no accountability. First home owner/builder. I used the home solutions pack and all I can say it has been a disaster. First of all I felt very rushed to sign paperwork. Once the paperwork was signed then they could make changes to the build. So I was effectively signing paperwork without the add ons I wanted. I wasn’t given… Read more

options of what land I could build on either. I was told this is the only land that would suit. I find it hard to believe being in Bendigo with multiple estates, however I felt pressured and was naive to the whole building process. The initial person did not put in the right things in the contract for my house, incorrect tile colours - resulted in my house being delayed 6-8 weeks because they had to rip out my bathroom tiles and redo it. I was meant to have a double shower and then told I couldn’t have it when I was at the final design stage. I got stone bench tops for my kitchen HOWEVER the walk in pantry has laminated bench tops as I didn’t upgrade them as well. Being a first home builder I would have thought they would have made me aware that these two rooms are considered seperate therefore the stone bench top upgrade was not applied in the walk in pantry. Things like I have black shower heads but the taps are silver when I told them I wanted black. I have a hot water system that rumbles with baritone and does not sound healthy at all, for 5 months I have had a back and forth between Metricon with them telling me this is normal when it really isn’t. The paint job was very average, paint on my window frame, door handles, door windows everything.. there are discoloured areas in the paint job where it looks cheap and nasty. Weeping holes in the brick work are filled with glue. The site clean up was very poor. I have countless amounts of bricks in the soil around the house, I’m forever digging them up while I landscape. I have windows that won’t open and have been “fixed” but surprise, they still don’t open.

The site manager himself was great, advocated for me and talked me through the process - one of the only positive experiences.

Ultimately, you will get what you pay for and you will have to consistently ask for them to rectify issues

house met our expectations and was built to a high standard with minimal defects found during final presentation. Metricon were helpful with providing different product options when having to reselect previously chosen items (due to land titling issue - nothing related to Metricon).

Due to covid related delays, we had to wait on some products. However, our Site supervisor kept us updated regarding the delays and had these products installed at the earliest opportunity.

The estimated cost of our build was accurate and it actually came out slightly less than we were expecting due to provisions.

We had a really positive experience with Metricon and are extremely happy with our home. We would definitely recommend Metricon to future home buyers and build with them again in the future.

while working full time during a pandemic, I got everything I needed from Metricon. I am 110% happy with my build and would build with them again in a heartbeat only I don't think I will be moving because I LOVE my new house. Interiors were flawless, exteriors were flawless. I never felt like a number, I felt like a valued customer. Metricon showed they cared about me and my new house and as such my house has such good vibes and energy! The cost was on point with no unexpected surprises at all. The building project was completed a week earlier than expected! I highly recommend building with Metricon if you are first time builder like me. With so much that could go wrong I put my trust in Metricon and I was not disappointed! 5+ Stars from me. Thank you so much Metricon!!!!

Workmanship was first class and little extras like additional splash back tiles were installed just like that.

Metricon are using Southern Star Windows and even though these are… Read more

beautiful windows, they were delivered to site with some damages, some of the windows were installed upside down and needed to be rectified and we are still waiting for the sliding door to be repaired and glass to be replaced. Three Kings Concrete installed the exposed aggregate using local Boral cement and the exposed aggregate was inconsistently mixed prior to pouring resulting in installation cracks. The cracks occurred upon installation and not after the expansion joints had been cut out. Three Kings agreed that they would replace the exposed aggregate and we are still waiting some 6 months later. This is the first time that we have posted a bad review for any company or product as most other issues have been resolved in a timely manner. Hoping that this bad review results in some action from Metricon and we really didn't want to submit this review but felt that we had no other choice.
