The house frame went up pretty fast, it took the chippys just over a week
It's slowly taking shape and starting to look like a house

Our Soho 33 from Metricon
Since Handover
About Us
We are building our very first house in Marriott Waters Estate in Lyndhurst, South Eastern suburb in Melbourne.
We our building with Metricon and have chosen the Soho 32 with the Ascent facade, which we have modified and by doing so the house is now around 33sq.
We started dealing with Metricon back in July 2009, when we had our very first rough quote with a sales consultant at the Berwick display village. We are hoping to have the house completed by July 2010.
This blog is just a progression time-line of our build.

hi, I found your blog after doing a search for nougat stone bricks on the net! found the forum and your link at the bottom of your post. I then saw the house (the show home house) and went...NO WAY, that is the exact picture I have in my 'ideas' book for houses that I have been collecting here in nz for our new home...I saw it in a mag over here..didnt realise it was a show home in oz. I liked the natural colours of it..I want a door and garage in wood look aluminium, my joinery is white but we are having siena schist (by austral) and today I found a brick to go with it...double height nougat and the rest is history! I love your blog and have bookmarked it, keep up the great work and look forward to seeing it finished soon. we start building here at the top of nz next year. I am using the designa schist on some bays we are having and the nougat on the rest of the house and dark (black really) tiles, like slate. cheers, Nicola
