Abstract
General arguments of Baumslag and Bieri guarantee that any torsion-free finitely generated metabelian group of finite Prüfer rank can be embedded in a metabelian constructible group. Here, we consider the metric behavior of a rich class of examples and analyze the distortions of specific embeddings.
