Hi all. long time since I last visited this site.
I was just reading about the air conditioner issue. Jen, in my tender it specifically states "upgrade to 8HP model FDYQN200K…

I layed my Sir Walter beginning of July and had the same problem initially, and I tried to follow the best methods of soil prep.
After 3 weeks of solid…

Yep plenty of them in those areas, one of which is mine! If anyone has any questions on things to look out for etc. PM me. The biggest watchout is…

I actually am now at the point of getting my battens that Rawson installed changed over to downlights this weekend.
All up as a guide, my electrician is charging $15 a…

Congrats Tarsha!!
We are now a few weeks into living in our new home, love the house and although we had many setbacks with our build they came through under the…

For those with their builds in progress are you expecting your stacker doors to have flyscreen doors?
I wasnt expecting it but seem to have got it installed

I have my diary here at work to remind me of all timeframes.
Just to give you an idea, Week 20 for me was electrical wiring, insulation and airco ducts, plaster…

Awesome, wow your build has nearly caught up to mine. We are now just waiting for a few things to be done before keys later in the week.
The SS…

I've got a pond for a driveway at the moment.
We are going to push through the PCI and handover without the driveway as the forecast isnt looking good for…

Hi misch,
We had the same problem a delay of up to 3-4 weeks so they worked on other things.
We have colorbond as well, it went:
Frame > Windows > Plumbing of…

36 weeks including the Xmas break. Overall not bad given we had the issue with a batch of damaged bricks that set us back 3-4 weeks at the start.

PCI for my build is next week. I was excited but seeing the house on the weekend there is a lot of work still to be done, I hope most…

My build has also been slow going the last few weeks, after Xmas I thought we'd be moved in now but there still seems a lot of work to do.…

Hey MelC, we chose Manhattan as well doing the same thing of trying to match the display home colour.
It looks good now painted but it came out a bit…

Nice ensuite Tarsh!
My SS said we are around 2 weeks away from handover there is a lot to do and organize.
The stressful thing at the moment is that our…

The other thing is the bricks upgrade. Notice they dont even include that on the display home upgrades list. That caught us out.. we just assumed that the bricks on…

The gap between DA approval and site start was 2 months for me, I remember the frustration of it taking so long! I think they may have sped this up…

I'm building with rawson and actually found their price quite reasonable. I was looking at two other builders at the time and thought Rawson were expensive but then when I…

I think a lot of homes are at that stage. I called the SS last week to get access to my place, and he couldnt find time as he said…

I'm roughly at the exact same stage without having started main floor tiling, and I was told late February.

That would be great to get the garage door on. We still havent got a door and its very annoying as the garage has become another dumping ground for rubbish…

Happy new year all!
smorgzz your house looks great. Great work with the landscaping too, I would love to do the retaining walls myself but it might be a bit beyond…

Morning all, I've had the same frustration with progress payments two weeks ago. They sent the fittings in the same week I got the gyprock invoice, so Tarsha expect that…

Hi Anjelo,
I went through the exact same process with the same type of colours. I eventually bought sample pots and found which looked the best.
I had to use Taubmans…

Nice tarsh the colours look great, and gyprock!
Hopefully the speed picks up from here, I found once the gyprock started I couldnt keep up with the progress. They have…

Lots of progress. With my build I cant keep up with the things done each day. All the small fiddly jobs are getting done, leaving only tiling / some painting…

Hi Tony,
Before I signed up with Rawson, I was following a few builds around the ponds. I was a rawson build stalker before I got my own site to stalk.…

Tarsha, all i know is NBN = quicker internet which sounds good enough for me. Has your SS told you when what their Xmas/NY downtime is?
Some of the contractors are…

not long to go smorgzzz...
I'm at lockup (technically but they have a issue with one of the doors not locking, which helps me sneak in) but coming into the xmas…

Oh can't wait to see your photo's once stained. We chose the same Ebony colour and said per the display homes as well. Julie did warn us about it being…
