Metricon to help ex-Porter Davis customers finish construction

Metricon supports ex- Porter Davis customers

Ex-Porter Davis customers can look forward to the completion of their homes by Metricon, Australia’s largest home builder.

Metricon has reached an agreement with VMIA to quote on the completion of builds affected by the Porter Davis collapse.

We have the financial strength and operational capacity to complete the necessary building works and help ex-Porter Davis customers from across Victoria.

Excited to help

We have a dedicated construction and operations team in place to support these builds, while not affecting the pace or quality of the houses we are building for our existing Victorian customers.
Our dedicated team and streamlined approach will ensure that we get affected customers into their homes as soon as possible.

Metricon will provide quotes to complete a select number of builds as soon as possible and in most cases at no additional cost to customers (subject to verification at issuance of new Metricon contract).
Those customers will be contacted by a Metricon representative to start their journey.

FAQ

  • When can you start?

    We are in the process of transferring VMIA selected customer files to Metricon. Metricon’s Construction team will then complete a secondary site inspection for all builds.

  • Can I change my floorplan?

    To ensure the quickest completion of your home, we will build you home to the specifications of your previous build without any changes.

  • How long will my build take?

    We have established a streamlined approach which will see all affected customers get into their new home as soon as possible from contract signing. For many customers with well progressed builds, the time to completion will be much shorter.

  • Will I have to pay any more than what I already have?

    The VMIA have worked to identify the ex-Porter Davis jobs which are most suited to Metricon, that we will take over the construction of and complete and in most cases at no additional cost to customers (subject to verification at issuance of new Metricon contract).

  • Can I select new finishings and fittings at Studio M?

    No, Metricon will build your home to the existing specification of your previous contract. In the rare instance that we cannot match your specification, we will provide a like-for-like comparison which we will discuss with you.

  • How will I know if I’ve been selected for Metricon to finish my construction?

    All customers that have been nominated by the VMIA as suitable for Metricon to complete construction for will be contacted by Metricon directly.

  • What If I haven’t been contacted by Metricon?

    If your construction project hasn’t been nominated by the VMIA as suitable for Metricon to complete the construction of, we encourage you to contact the VMIA directly about your options.

  • Will I need an insurance policy?

    Metricon will apply for building insurance on behalf of our customers, in accordance with the HIA contract. When you sign your new contract with Metricon, a new insurance policy will be issued through the VMIA.

  • I'm an existing Metricon customer. Does this mean my home build will take longer?

    No. We have a dedicated construction and operation team to look after and support the ex-Porter Davis customer builds. We are focused on both supporting ex-Porter Davis customers, whilst not affecting Metricon customers.

We are very excited that we can now see a clear path forward with Metricon and will have our own space again in a matter of months. Jarrad Swilks, ex-Porter Davis customer
