Hi Guys, Its definitely exciting finally seeing things coming together. We'll be keeping an eye on your build progress given that you are building with Metricon in QLD as well. I think we are a few weeks ahead of you as we signed our contract back in April and our site start is on the 22nd June. Have you been down to Studio M for a Pre-selection of colours? it really helped us.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteYes we've been down twice and the office will be in touch this week to book us in for our appointments, cant wait! Although im worried our $5k allowance for electricals wont be enough! Where is your place up to?
Hi Cassandra
ReplyDeleteYeah it is easy to blow $5K in electricals...unless you want batten lights throughout the house. We have just received our notification of site start (22nd Jul). Our start was a bit delayed due to Metricon sending through the wrong HSTP Plan originally.
