Hi Jayman. I too built a Benham. I had nothing but problems during my build with mistakes and really poor workmanship. Keep a close eye on your build. If you're…

You're right red15. I did have a bad experience and I'm sure that there are many out there that are worse. Unfortunately I can only go off my own experience.…

I would never use Rawson again or recommend them to anyone.
I built a Benham as well! Poor quality and too many mistakes to list.
Read the reviews on the Product…

Hi red15!
I had things still being done on the day of the PCI. It took nearly 3 weeks from then till handover. It the took another 3 weeks to fix…

I know what you mean. We've had the same issues. On top of that massive quality problems. How about exposed reo in the slab of the garage only found on…

Our ensuite toilet is a very tight squeeze because of this metal beam. I have to walk right in and stand next to the toilet to close the door. If…

Hi red15.
Just read that you do have a metal beam across the back. Thought so. Check the ensuite toilet size now. You'll notice it's smaller than the display home one…
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
Well if there's no metal beam I'd be asking for a please explain as to why the kick board is there.
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
Sorry. I'm assuming you have corner stacker doors to your alfresco. The display doesn't.
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
The floating vanity can't be done there due to the metal beam running across the back wall of your house. They can't put the vanity drainage in the wall so…

The IOC is part of the handover. We're not handing over till next Friday and it was emailed to me today. It's up to me to contact the certified for…

Not at all. In fact it shouldn't be. They should be panels that just get fitted during the fridge freezer install. Found that out this morning! My Benham build has…
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
You'll have problems with the integrated fridge freezer. The doors shouldn't be fixed to the cupboards. They should be fixed to the fridge and freezer doors. There will be holes…

Did you say the ducting is in the main bedroom wardrobe in the corner? If so, that's where it's supposed to be. My Benham is the same.

Hi red15.
Looks like your Benham is taking shape nicely.
I know what you mean about the SS merry go round.
I'm up to SS number 5!!!
There is so much rework happening at…
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
We're at 39 weeks and no PCI date yet. There's still heaps to go. Unfortunately they're fixing tiling issues, shower screen issues, underfloor heating issues, hebel issues, internal door issues…
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
Looking good red. Hope it maintains this pace!
We're up to site supervisor number 5 as well as the construction manager now involved with our build. The amount of things that…

I'm doing tiling now Steve. I hope you have better luck than me. I've had tiles go up where we specifically asked for no tiles. Laundry splash back has wrong…
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
They may tell you to deal with the SS, as it's just about out of admins hands. I found that the best way is to be calm but firm. Explain…
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
Have you been allocated a site supervisor yet?
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
I believe they should be able to sort it out. If the actual dimensions of the house haven't changed, the frames can be modified on site to suit your requirement.…
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
No it didn't. The longer benches did get mentioned.
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
I think the sales people don't know everything either. I upgraded my kitchen to be exactly as the display. It was a $25,000 upgrade. The sales person told me I…
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
The best thing is to not look at the display as you will be continuously disappointed. Even if you've picked everything the same!
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
Our Benham is supposed to be identical to the display and I mean identical! Unfortunately, there are still differences that we pick up along the way. My recent dilemma are…
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
My place came in at $550,000.
I sincerely hope you have a better experience than me!
It's a constant battle!
Jimbo05 posted:KDR Rawson Benham in Sydney
Not really. Poor site supervisor still playing catch up.
He came into the picture halfway through the build.
He says that the tradesmen before were crap and had to sack them and…

Sorry for my negativity but get used to this happening!
I've had a very painful experience with Rawson!

Steve, neither. Hebel is installed by a qualified Hebel installer.
As far as I know, anybody can do the Hebel training and become an installer.
With a shortage of brickies…
