Our building permit came through a few days ago which is very exciting.
We have also had the Final Construction drawing come through. There were a few discrepancies the most surprising was having a window left out of the main bathroom. Now you see it now you don't!
In our final contract there was a window but then in our Final Construction drawings there is no window! It is not a huge drama, however I just found it weird that our paperwork goes through a QA department before being sent to drafting so this should have been picked up! It also got us scared about what we might have missed! So we are currently working through the drawings - with a fine tooth comb!
No more news on the property - just that we have ordered our second soil test so hopefully we should start building in about 5 weeks!
I will be in touch with more news soon.
Meanwhile below are some pictures of the Metricon Monarch Display Home. Although we are not building this home in particular, the Whittaker does have the same floor plan. I like to remind myself from time to time that all the hard yards we put in now will pay off later...
Our home will be fairly similar with the same window configuration in the dining and family room.

ReplyDeleteHi, thanks for your comment. Will definitely check your blog. We hope to start building by the end of this month...still working through the construction drawings. Very stressful!
ReplyDeleteWhere can we get the floor plan for this. We are going to build and my loves to have a view from the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWhere can we get this floor plan? We will be building and my wife loves to have a view like this from the kitchen. All of the plans we see the kitchen is inside almost centered in the home.
ReplyDeleteHi, the design is from Metricon so if you go on their website you should be able to see similar floor plans. Our home design from Metricon was called The Whittaker however I am not sure they still have this same design name. If you review some other homes in the Signature range you should find a floor plan with a similar kitchen layout. Let me know how you go, otherwise I should be able to find our floor plan design to help you.
