Russ and I were really excited to finally be able to pick the colour scheme and finishes for our new house. Sadly excitement quickly diminished when we were not able to pick what ever colour we wanted but were restricted to a small selection of colours, tiles etc...


We could only choose from ::
  • 2 roof tile samples - Black and Grey. I chose the black roof tile. We didn't even have the offer of upgrading. 2 colours to choose from is disgusting.
  • 4 exterior colour schemes. (We chose concept board #1). When there are millions of colours, tiles, carpet...you get my point, out there!!! You couldn't swap anything with another board either. This whole concept discuss me.
  • 4 interior colour schemes. Didn't have the offer the change tiles, paint colour, carpet colour or bench top colour with in any range.
We had no inclusions, no surprise there.
We're buying one of the cheapest houses so this is there reason for no individuality.  Though it isn't the smallest house in their range.  We're buying a 21 square house, there are smaller size houses. It's just not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colours do not cost more that other colours, it's pure bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Quote from Metricon::
"New colours, styles and technological breakthroughs – there is always something happening at Metricon’s state–of–the–art selection centre, Studio 501. Studio 501 Manager, Tamara Spencer, said it is important to keep up with the very latest in trends in interior design – and the myriad of finishing touches that go into a home. “We have lots of new ranges from laminate colours to curtains to carpets,” Tamara said. “We encourage our customers to take their time when they visit us so they can get a feel for all the decisions they need to make. Many of them are quite taken with what they’ve seen in the Display Home – we can show them the fittings and products used in the display and, if their budget doesn’t quite stretch to those items, suggest great alternatives. Our ranges are quite comprehensive and it can be a little daunting for some customers when they arrive, but we ensure they have plenty of time and resources to help them make good decisions.”

Gees it's hard choosing such a wide range of products and colours!!!! Are they kidding or what!!???
One thing they don't tell you till after you have payed the deposits,or rather till your at the selection studio, is by choosing the cheaper house means you get no chose, that's no individualism. And not many upgrades available to you!!
Colour choices mean more money....that's really ludicrous!!!

I'm writing a complaint in the feedback area when the keys to our first home are in my hot little hand!!! Best not to do it before then as I don't want something to happen or be delayed in someway as a result of me writing a negative email to head office.

Metricon are arseholes!!!!!
