I was actually thinking 3000 too.. I likely wouldn't go for it but I do like the feeling of space with 3000.
If it is for the entire house (or entire…

You are absolutely right ponzutwo.
Is the 20-40mm of height difference an annoyance? Likely yes to those (including myself) who look up in the open areas of the houses, as…

Thanks Simeon. It's enlightening to hear about this Yes it could be part of the Metriconising that you pointed out.. I wouldn't call Ned directly…

Yes I do understand the actual dimensions are smaller than the plan due to plastering and different flooring, and I'm not comparing Metricon's actual finished dimensions to the plans of…

lol, I like the name
Of cause I couldn't tell by how much it is lower or higher, but if the difference is as much as…

Too many people pay extra to raise their ceilings.. Yes I agree most people won't always look up, but they do care about the vertical dimension

Yes, that's about the correct finished ceiling heights of Metricon homes.
However, when I measured Carlisle, PD etc. display homes, they are all 20-40mm higher than 2370, 2520 and 2670 that…

Thanks for your answers Ardo.. Does that imply that if Metricon say their overall plate is 2430, 2580 and 2730, then the furring channel used by them is 30mm?

Thanks Ardo.
“Direct stick or furling channel could be the simplest answer.”
Is that good practice or bad practice?
"How the heck could you pick the difference in 40mm in height."
Well... if we…

Even if square set is applied, Metricon's ceilings with square set are also at least 20mm lower than Carlisle, PD's ceilings with square set.

I've had a question I wanted to ask a long time ago...
Why do Metricon only provide 2550 and 2700 ceiling heights (floor to ceiling as indicated on their elevation drawings),…

Thanks for your advice StructuralBIMGuy. I'll check with my builder.

Thank you Bimbob. Did you mean if it's a posistrut floor the insulation batts can be installed in the subfloor to meet the energy requirements for the bedroom above?

Hey Everyone, I wanted to hear your thoughts about Master bedroom above Alfresco.. Is there any concern regarding the insulation underneath the Master bedroom?

Thank you Flamingo. Which builder did you build with if you wouldn't mind sharing? Was the build in Melb?

Thank you. Would banks already think the build price is too high and undervalue it in your experience?

Are you suggesting the build cost for a 48SQ house should be minimum $1m? Im using volume builder Metricon though..

Thanks Jason. You reckon $700k for 48SQ is too cheap? Last time I built was 8 years ago so I might not be that up-to-date with the current construction industry.…

We are building second home (in Melb), and are thinking to build a 48SQ double storey with Metricon. However, with the skyrocketing build costs, we are unsure if we should…

Thanks mate.. I will take your advice.

They don't have a display home for the one they have built for me.. but their other display homes do not have downpipes right at the front..
The thing is…

Yes, agree that legal process is troublesome.

Thanks Tamara. I was thinking to move it to the side of the dark pier, but there is already driveway next to the pier. Do you know if a roofer…

This is looking fine... Much more common to have the downpipe at side than at the front...

At the completion of the build, the certifier did the inspection and pointed out that the builder should put one more downpipe to the front of the house. So the…

Thanks snyde.
Yeah we've been asked to clean the rubbish on the block. The rubbish was left by the builder working on the adjoining block. I will call the SS of…

Cool... so you got in during the build and insulated the walls by yourself? Good idea, I may consider that. Was it difficult to do? I heard the key is…

Yeah, also wonder about the same question... Henley quoted me around $120 per wall...

Hi mirz, did you mean you installed the acoustic batts by yourself? When did you do it? I thought it couldn't be done post handover?
