Half way and going great
[name removed] is the best building supervisor we have ever had. We are about half way through building our 4th house and it is going really well thanks to [name removed]. He is very thorough, checking all the trades do what is expected. He really has our back and his attention to detail is impeccable.

Before you build with Metricon
We are devastated of the unethical standard directed at us towards the end of our build. Our build is delayed by 8 months and Metricon is refusing to honour our contract delayed damages. Metricon breached our contract by charging us using the wrong payment method. To resolve the breach, they offered us to defer remaining payment until settlement and now they are not honouring that agreement.
Our build is stressful, there are so many breaches with building regulations, council requirements. We were not given opportunities to inspect defect...Read more
fixes, and were told they are fixed without evidence. Now, hoping to move in and got a call from a manager telling us they won’t pay us delayed damages. They threaten us that if we pursued the delayed damages, they will pursue the interest charges as there’s no written agreement even though the finance team leader agrees with us that agreement exists. How could any human beings use this strategy in this time of coronavirus, where people have lost their jobs and struggle to make ends meet to deny them the right to damages? We have many sleepless nights, sorting through our contract, domestic building contract act, regulations, seeking legal advices, complaints to VBA / council, and in doing so, have somewhat unable to provide our children with the care they need. I woke up one morning, and my wife was still compiling an email to justify why we were entitled to the damages. I am sadden to see these are the sort of people we are building our home with and for as long as we live in this house, it is nothing more than a reminder of the deceit and the emotional pain we have endured. If you are looking to build your dream homes with Metricon, please re-consider. Ask yourself this question, is this the sort of company you want to support with your hard-earned money? If they can treat someone else like this, what makes them treat you any different? If we had a chance to build again, no, we would not build with Metricon, regardless of how good their display homes looked. Good luck to you...1 comment

Metricon Review
Sales team were awful to deal with (Traralgon office) however the site manager ([name removed]) and tradies were excellent to work with and quite accommodating. The build was managed well by the site supervisor . The workmanship was excellent The only issue we had was with the efficiency of the sales staff who were misinformed didn’t include some of the features we requested in the contract. The contract signing procedure was badly executed. We have no towel rails in the bathrooms, we requested drawers in the walk in robe and got open cabinetry etc. Final estimate was as expected We built the Santorini 28. Development approval #5447498371765. Contract #[Number Removed]. Santorini 28 Building supervisor [name removed]

Poor quality of work and No Liability
I built with Metricon a year ago. Poor quality of workmanship and cheap material used. I logged all the issues within the 90 days and still waiting for a response. It's been over a year.
My floorboards are swollen,water pressure is extremely low.Poor paint job
I will never recommend Metricon to anyone. They don't take responsibility and pass you on from one department to another. There is no complaints or escalation process.
I have emailed their Senior Management and awaiting response.

simple and uncomplicated way to build a new home.
The display home consultant [name removed] was amazing. Knowledgeable, helpful and on the ball. She had no problem going out of her way to assist in the planning and design and followed up with us regularly.The site supervisor [name removed] was helpful and also always available. Arranging site meeting were easy with him and he was always on top of the trades who where at time casual and thoughtless. One warning when at the Metricon studio do not be rushed as once it's written in the contract there is no changing.

Building with quality and ease.
We are very have happy with Metricons build quality and options provided to us. We feel lucky to have had [name removed] as our Site manager, he made our experience in the whole process much easier, as he was understanding and patient with us, great communication, time management was impeccable which has allowed us to go and take our final inspection way ahead of our scheduled time.
We thank you Metricon and [name removed] for getting our lovely home built. We strongly recommend your services.
Cheers.

Our build was managed very well by an experienced building manager.
Workmanship was good only if closely monitored (quality of tradesman variable and quite junior at times).
Unfortunately major issues we had are post construction - poor follow up of defects, worksmanship mistakes and despite Q&A assessment noting these, now being denied any form of resolution for this as we are being asked for written evidence of these issues which were noted by the assessor at the time and we trusted would be followed through on their direction that they would.
Multiple email exchanges with slow resolution still ongoing 6 months post build.

Reliable and Efficient Builder
As we are a growing family, we decided to upgrade our home and move to a bigger home. We settled on the Delta 25 S from Metricon after comparing designs, costs and our needs. We had a very pleasant sales consultant who put things in a very simple manner for us to understand and helped us complete the building paperwork in an efficient and time bound manner. As we were second time builders we decided to opt for the express appointment at Studio M, this helped us making things less complicated for ourselves and also manage our costs wel...Read more
l. We went to site start remarkably quick in mid -January . Our site supervisor was always on top of things at site and he ensured that everything was moving at record pace. Each stage of the build has been quick with no issues at all and surprisingly we had our final inspection in April. And here we were thinking the build would be completed by late August. Thanks to the efficient team at Metricon right from the sales consultant, the office /build coordinator, site supervisor we are now ahead of time and are looking at getting the keys to our new home in a couple of weeks.Similar opinion?

Below average quality and poor service
Below average quality product and poor experience overall.
From my experience, I won't recommend Metricon, not worth the premium price tag. From experience I had, Metricon isn't a premium builder at all as they claim. From sales to hand-over whole process was poorly managed and lack of communications.
Metricon was just keen to push through all the stages and issue invoices without arranging any inspection or site visits. The quality of work is below average. I had to chase up site manager and various teams all the time for updates and to r...Read more

Quick build
Very satisfy with how long it took to build a two story house (Bentleigh 38) given the fact that it was over the Christmas holiday break as well. Communication was great from our site supervisor [name removed] Made which we appreciated. We only had a minor issue with a blind that was missing from one of our windows but otherwise we didn't have any major immediate concerns. Overall cost was no comparison to other builders which is why we chose metricon.

Great first time building experience. Thanks Metricon!
Metricon just completed the build of our Lawson Mk22 home. We are very happy with the quality of the build and service provided. We hired an external inspector for most of the build stages and majority of issues reported were addressed and fixed prior to handover. There are minor issues we spotted only after handover however they are minor cosmetic items which we’re sure we’ll be addressed soon. Our SS [name removed] was great to work with and ensured we had a smooth building experience. The only suggestion we have is that it would been nice to be provided more frequent updates rather than having to seek them ourselves however our SS was always reachable over the phone.

Metricon recently completed the construction of our home (Amira 22A) and my husband and I are very happy with the service we were provided. Our site supervisor [name removed] was extremely helpful, easy to contact, friendly and professional. The construction was completed quite quickly and although there were a few minor issues along the way, they were rectified quickly and the entire Metricon team have always been willing to help. The house looks amazing, we've had many compliments on the facade and interior. Great work team and thanks again!

Excellent job by Metricon! (Job number 701826)
Metricon just finished construction of our house in Clyde (Glendale 39 Deakin). Construction was done very fast and with very high quality. We are very happy with both the result and the process. Site manager [name removed] and Building support coordinator [name removed] were very supportive and very responsive. [name removed] went above and beyond to make sure that we, as customers, would love our new house... And we really do :)

Slippery Driveway
We built our dream home thru Metricon and added the driveway package to it
So when it rains the driveway is very slippery so I contact the service team about this issue with my driveway
The service team told me that there is nothing they can do about it as it is to what I paid for.
I was advise that I engage an external trade to apply a non-slip clear coating over the top of the driveway as this will help.
Since I paid them to do the job why do I need to get someone else to fix this on my expense
I had to lay rubber mats on the driveway to avoid any injuries as I have a young family and putting kids in the car is very hazardous

Build was early to complete. Site manager easy to discuss with.
We were called for the first visit on 27 March 2020, 2 months earlier than we expect to complete.
The site manager was very organised and he knows what is expected of him to deliver. We noted that an addendum for the light above the kitchen bench was not done, later, this was corrected and they promised to deliver this by completion visit. The building works was amazing and very few immaterial defects were noted to be rectified. The final cost was lesser than the cost presented to us earlier. Great job for ABC homes/Metricom and to our diligent site manager. We are happy to recommend ABC Homes.

Questions & Answers
Nilanga S.asked
Hi I live in NSW and build a house in Melbourne. Now the house is ready for final inspection and Metricon wants me to appoint somebody to do the final inspection and settlement or it will go for settlement as per the contract. Please see below the exact wording from Metricon Management. (Knowing the situation of the country I believe its unfair to force me to accept conditions as per the contract.
"In accordance with the signed contract clause 36, Notice of Completion has been issued and seven days has now passed. We understand due to current circumstances you are unable to attend the inspection and would like to appoint a Power of Attorney on your behalf.
We request that you please provide your POA by close of business Monday 6/04/2020, in order for the inspection to be conducted. If you are unable to organise your POA, the home will be completed and we will proceed to settlement."
I am happy to appoint somebody to do the final inspection. However I want to be the settlement to take place when the travel restrictions are over as I want to be satisfied that I am getting what I was promised.
(I believe that I only get 90 days warranty to point out any further issues or any items not as per the contract)
If Metricon is in a hurry to settle it, All what I want is to provide 90 days from the date the travel restrictions are lifted (When it is safe to travel).

Team M.Metricon
Hi Nilanga S.
Thanks for your question via Product Review,
We understand your concern regarding travel restrictions. Travelling to facilitate obligations under the building contract for the purposes of a home settlement (including final inspection) is permissible. It is challenging for all of us, nevertheless, we have needed to find ways to still meet our obligations under the contract.
A Travel Certification letter, confirming you are a customer of Metricon Homes, can be provided. This should be carried during travel, verifying to any authorities that it is permissible for you to do so. Metricon Homes and the residential construction industry continues to be an essential service and travel is allowable between Metricon Offices, displays, design studios or build sites.
As per contractual obligations, Metricon is required to proceed with your home settlement as scheduled. We are unable to hold on to the home, having it sit dormant for an indefinite period. Metricon continues to operate with our Construction operations building homes to meet our obligations for all customers.
As outlined, if you are unable to be present at the home settlement, a Power of Attorney will be required to assist the handover of your home, or the home will be handed over without final inspection.
We are confident that the customer travel letter will provide peace of mind. Please contact us at [email protected] with your Contract Number and/or Site Address and we will send you the travel letter as soon as possible.
Rest assured, whichever way you decide to go, you will have 90 days to raise any Service items that you feel require inspection/correction. You may use a Power of Attorney for this activity as well.
We appreciate your understanding for Metricon to continue performing “business as usual” in line with our obligations to you under the building contract, and we look forward to hearing from you with regards to what measures you are taking in order for settlement of your new home to take effect.
Regards, Nathan National Customer Care, Metricon Homes

Hello,
we have moved in a new house built by Metricon. Since about 3 weeks ago I reported a toilet drainage issue. This started approximately 2 weeks after we moved in. This most probably is either bad pipes layout or a pipe if filled with construction debris. I haven't seen a blocked toilet in 20 years and now I have one on brand new house, it is almost unbelievable.
The thing is in almost 3 weeks Metricon have been unable to get somebody to really investigate this issue.
Then I have doors which do not close.
Nothing can be logged via My Metricon because my account do not exist even in the handover documents it says it is. So I communicated a couple of time via phone with some individuals who never follow up, neither update us with the status.
I am wondering how would be that anybody from Metricon to pay $400,000+ for a brand new house, then to have issues and the builder ignore you ? Is this some Metricon resolve method to ignore the customers in the warranty period ? It seems like some pattern by looking at these online reviews. I cannot otherwise explain how in 3 weeks really nothing is fixed.
