Hi,
We spoke to our 'Preconstruction Administrator' (which was Carla as we're Newcastle) every now and then but give the SS some time to resolve things as you really want them…

We moved in last week and you'd be amazed at what they deem acceptable (a cracked tile in the bathroom just for a start). Keep on them.

Is it on the plans like that?

Hi,
I think you may have to understand that they (and you) are so far down the line that they don't want hold ups too. They probably do this fee as…

Hi,
AFAIK, if you are NBN eligible, you won't be able to get any other fixed line service to cover you until the NBN actually goes in. Options I can think…

Found a pic of ours

It's just a plastic tube (in the wall cavity) with these openings at the top/bottom for you to run cables down. Cost was $100 or so I think which when…

I have to concur with AJW. You are just another number in the long list of customers (I hate to say it, but you are). We've had a mostly good…

Hi,
Whenever we made a change, it can be 14 days before they get something back to you, this is pretty standard so bear that in mind going forward if you…

Hi,
Definitely pay to remove the support for the stack doors so you can open the whole Family/Dining/Aflresco up. You'll still have the step to contend with but at least you…

Hi,
We got the 40mm upgrade as part of the Orange promotion at the time, then, paid $1800 to upgrade to the 80mm (defo worth it in my opinion). I can…

I would expect the house price is dictated on a 'per sq m' basis so anything they don't build, you'll get a credit for. Anything we had done, they were…

Hi KnD,
It's amazing how quick the external gets done, this was us 22nd Aug
and then again on 16th Nov

Hoping to go to the roughing day in a week or so…

Hi AJW,
I actually spoke to a builder from another company (at an event, so quite random). I asked him about it and the 3.5 & 2 R values were very…

What have peoples experiences been with the standard R3.5 and R2 insulation that is part of a Rawson build? Would you have wanted more to combat noise (from kids), and…

Yay, looks good Katran although is still freaking me out seeing the house flipped! We've got a roof, windows, bricks and apparently (SS…

Good job you like them seeing as you're house is being built with them
Did you see the Edge showhome at Kellyville? If so, please tell…

Hi,
I'm not sure I understand this. Aren't the stacker doors on the actually house slab, just with at a slight lower level? This is ours when it was being laid,…

Yes, this can be quite confusing. I'll send you a schematic for you to follow which should be pretty easy to follow. You don't need to get someone in to…

Hi Navin,
We are building in Seaside Fern Bay and we can only use certain plants/tree's on the estate (Council mandate). My guess is that if you went to a landscaper,…

Hi,
Personally, I can not stand Colourbond but I'm forced to have it as my fencing where I'm building. My roof, however, is tiled. If I didn't have to have it,…

Hi Katran,
I've only just registered after seeing the stairs with the kitchen pic, that you have 'flipped' the house plans. How come you have done that, something to do with…

Hi Fizzed,
Any update, are you in and finished?

Hi,
We've got a Balmoral hybird; 38 downstairs and 34 up which brought us to '35' and have it in writing that we are getting the 20kw Daikin (a mate is…

Hi,
Awesome, exactly what I needed to know. Thanks very much.
Bear

Hi,
Can I ask about the black drawers that the speakers are standing. When you get the house, is that space empty and you've had to buy the unit or do…

Hi Natzaz,
Our land is due to be registered mid Feb and looking to move in around Jan 2018. Keen to hear of your experiences (good or bad) in terms of…

That is ridiculous, I don't understand how that can be allowed. Have you contacted Rawson about it?
I did forget to say, the pantry does look great.
