Excellent site supervisor, poor studio M experience from management!
The whole process of the build was very well managed by our site supervisor. My husband worked in Melbourne during the 4 months of our build and our SS was very accommodating with phone calls and updates during this time. Any concerns or questions and they were answered. We could not be more grateful and thankful for our amazing SS.
Our biggest downside was after our build in which we have had 4 months of being ignored and being told it is our problem not Metricon's and there's nothing they can do.
On the 1st of May 2022, we attended studio m ...Read more
in Shepparton were we picked our roman blinds for our house in which a young lady showed us swatches of. We picked a fabric which we would have chosen and had quotes for if we had not proceeded with Metricon. Metricon came in cheaper. We loved the fabric and the cost suited our build. Now we know why they were cheaper! However when they were installed in the 3rd last week of our build, we raised the concern with our SS that the fabric was not what we had chosen. He advised us to speak to Studio M, which we have done..for the last 4 months. Lots of going back and forward and being left on read, to being told its our problem and the fabric we chose in studio m was a "curtain fabric NOT a roman blind fabric". We DID NOT go up to a wall and choose the swatch colour nor fabric that was provided. The young lady presented us with a swatch group to which we chose and laid out on the table for the remainder duration of our appointment to make 100% sure its what we wanted. After liaising with multiple people and being spoken to very rudely on multiple occasions we were very gutted to be told they're not going to do anything about it and they've investigated it to the extent they can. We provided photos of what we chose on the day and a photo of what was installed during out build. One photo of the product we "supposedly" chose (the swatch GIVEN to us on the day) and the product installed is something they cannot assist us with as the product installed into our house is the same product in our contract and installed. If by some mistake studio m mucked up on the swatches and called us to say the wrong set of swatches was given to us on our selection day we would have very appreciative to have been told this and would have been more then obliged to return to studio m to choose a different fabric or colour or if unable to find something similar to what we would have liked we would have cancelling the item off our variations. The most disappointing thing about this whole experience is studio m and being ignored by management in a business they advised are professional and above standard.

A very good business experience
Our first build of this kind, and we were naturally nervous.
However, the Metricon team proved to be friendly, helpful and competent.
They went out of their way to ensure it was a 'shopping' experience to be recalled fondly.
Nothing was too much trouble, and they made some helpful suggestions along the way.

Made it look so easy!
I had 2 site managers so i need to mention [name removed]. They both made the build experience amazing, the house was built to a high standard. [name removed] was quick to get up to speed with the build.
The time frame was excellent as i was in before the Christmas/new year shut down.
The variations was a relief as i thought it was going to be way more!

Once construction commenced the ease of the process was great.

Best building experience ever!
We’re in Albury and have found the whole process easy and would definitely recommend Metricon to anyone up in northern VIC or southern NSW.
Our sales rep was excellent and very knowledgeable. Not pushy at all and was led by what we said was important to us to enable him to make suggestions before finalising our initial quote.
Our Studio M experience in Shepparton was a very long day with travel there and back but our colours and electrical were all worked out without drama. We had a bit of an idea of what we wanted it to look like but we had ...Read more
lots of discussions about things we hadn’t even thought of all guided by the two consultants. The customer service contact throughout this stage was super helpful as well and answered all the questions we raised following our long day in Shepparton. It ended up costing somewhat more than what was originally estimated due to revised site costs, requirement for 3 phase power and a 10m set back which wasn’t factored in. We were pretty shocked but understood the reasoning. We went from site cut on 3 July to handover on 15 Mayember. Our site supervisor was easy to get hold of and kept us updated.1 comment

We would like to highly recommend metricon regional shepparton team. From the initial planning stages, the construction team at shepparton were approachable and understanding of our needs. Our site supervisor was exceptional, professional, approachable and his tradesmen displayed quality workmanship. Our build was finished well within the expected time frame and within expected budget.

The wait was worth it.
This is the third time we have built our home in different locations but the first time using Metricon. Visiting a Display Centre can be a daunting experience with so many companies vying for your business and so many designs to choose from but this was made all the more easier upon visiting the Shepparton Display Home Centre as we were helped with narrowing down our focus on what we really wanted along with needed. The entire process from selecting a design with the new home advisor to our Studio M appointment with the colour coordination team...Read more
flowed seamlessly with each member of the Team assisting as required and without the feeling that it was a burden and all being overseen by the Customer Support Coordinator. Once the build commenced our site manager always made himself available via phone or in person to alleviate any concerns or keep us up to speed with each stage of the build. He also did his best to keep the various tradies in check and on schedule with only a few mishaps that were out of his control and no fault of his own. We also had regular contact with the Customer Service Manager and during the final stages of our build I suffered the loss of a family member and the she showed that the Shepparton Office regarded us as more than just another project by sending flowers and making contact to see if we needed anything and that personal touch was appreciated. Since moving in we have had a few things that needed adjusting or changing but each time I call the Customer Service Manager she is happy to assist. I would use and recommend Metricon Shepparton.1 comment

Excellent Job from Metricon - Mantra 22
The build was managed really well for the most part.
The initial stages were great, with the sales consultant guiding me through all the options available for my financial position, with the helpful hint of providing me with a successful broker. Thank you for that, by the way, much appreciated.
The customer supervisor was really helpful during initial stages and stages leading up to the contract signing, working with my time lines and within my pace to deliver my building permit and organising the studio appointment, which was terrific.

he studio M appointment was a bit disappointing in that the studio M consultant was not really helpful and simply did what she was told and just agreed with everything that I said for the most part, which does not seem like the right way of doing things. She was very reserved. I would like a consultant who would speak his/her mind on certain aspects of the build and provide their advice and input, especially when it came to colour selection and overall presentation of the build. However the selections I made for the build were perfect and worked really well together. The electrical consultant was, however, is someone I like because she provided her advice and input, which was excellent as the advice worked really well. Thank you for that. During construction, the construction supervisor was a complete champion to work with. We got along quite nicely. My only criticism for him is that he did not provided weekly updates on my build every week but I understand why but it would be nice to update me on at least whats happening.

The way we were spoken too via [name removed] was disgraceful, unprofessional and appalling, with unnecessary comment made his attitude too the build made us feel like he didn’t care, and was not worried about the quality of our home.

Quality construction from a quality builder
We recently built a Denver 45mk2 with Metricon Regional. Our Project Manager [name removed] did a terrific job. Plenty of communication, punctual and helpful, plus also attentive.
From quotation, contract signing, Studio M appointment, pre construction, construction and completion, we didn't have a bad thing to say. Like every build, there were issues along the way, most minor, some not so minor. But there is always problems with every single build. And to think it should be smooth sailing with no issue is plainly naive. What matter is the way...Read more
in which they are handled. Metricon and [Name Removed] handled the issues professionally, fairly and speedily. We honestly cannot say a bad word about Metricon. You always hear the phrase, volume builder is a poor quality builder. But I cannot disagree more. Everything hinges on the Supervisor and his trades. Fortunately for us, we had a great supervisor who used great trades. I carried out my own inspections on the property during construction, inc Slab Steel inspections, new floor water level inspection, frame inspections, pre plaster and pre handover inspections. Slab steel was done according to engineering plans with out any corners cut. Laser level was done with an electronic water level, and to my surprise, the entire slab was no more than 10mm out of level. Impressive considering the side of the slab. Usual issues were found during frame and pre plaster, some walls that needed more attention for plumb and straight, but nothing major.1 comment

We cannot fault the customer service that we received from [name removed] and [name removed], they went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.
Our home did take a little longer then expected, due to the product used on our timber floors being faulty, which is no-one ones fault at all. Metricon were great with this slight speed hump and had the manufacture of the timber floors re-lay them for us.

We would highly recommend Metricon to family and friends and are looking forward to many happy years in our beautiful family home!! September 20th 2018 Update: After care top notch We have been in our home for around 20 months now and have been very happy with our new home! We still love it as much as the day we moved in!! Our only complaint would be the quality of the paint job, this has become more noticeable over time. There have been a couple of issues, eg heating fault, plumbing problems, oven fault and door issues, but each time we have raised these with Metricon they have been followed up within 24 - 48 hours. The communication from both Metricon and their contractors has been great. All our issues have been rectified under warranty and as quickly as possible.1 comment

Great floor plans but terrible workmanship
Initially we thought that Metricon were great to build with but sadly we are feeling very disillusioned with the finished product and Metricon's response to the issues. We have terrible brickwork with mortar gaps that vary from 2 mm to around 30 mm with multiple cracks throughout the mortar work. Additionally, the mortar in many places appears very weak and can be scratched out with a finger nail. The mortar really needs to be checked by an accredited laboratory to check its strength - this has also been a recommendation of an independent build...Read more
ing inspector who found 23 significant faults with our new home. Metricon's refuse to fund the strength test of the mortar and are suggesting that to "fix" the cracks and other mortar issues that this will result in an even worse appearance. I'm sorry Metricon but this is simply not good enough. We paid for a house that meets the building code standards and don't have what we paid for. We also have brick walls that appear to have 6 to 7 mm bows in them. Have spoke recently with customer care and despite recent photos of crumbling mortar they remain rigid in their stance that they will not fund a mortar quality check and say that if we want this done we need to fund this ourselves. I would suggest to those who build with Metricon, particularly in the Shepparton should consider checking the strength of your mortar by running a key alone and looking to see in the mortar rubs out easily. I would also recommend for anyone considering building with Mettricon to pay the extra and have your own building inspection - sure wish we did during the build itself. Metricon promised us "love where you live" and they sure haven't delivered.6 comments
