Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 20, 2011 6:52 am My husband and I have (we think!) chosen the house we would like to build with Rawson Homes. I was wondering if anyone here has built with them and what their experience was like? If you're not comfortable putting your name to your opinion on an open forum feel free to PM me.

I have been told that they have some very good site supervisors so when it comes time for building their finished product can be very good. However, you need to check the area and see who you would get. The tradesmen they use often seem to be the best judge. There is quite a few Rawson homes around where we live and they look fine but a bit "project homey", but some simple aesthetic changes can make all the difference. However, our experience was that all the changes and design was left to us. No problem if you're not deviating much from their design or even better have your own architect and plans. Although they did provide an interior design person to help pick colours and other alternatives, as well as a kitchen person and other selection people. Though I think this person did have a few building issues: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32629 For price I don't think you can beat the project home builders for an out of the box home. Just don't change it too much. I liked the look of some of the M e t r i c o n homes as well and know someone who built with them in Lindfield and went ok. We ended up going owner builder and hired a project manager/builder which worked out fairly well, spent more but got a very customised and architectural home for significantly less, but was worth it in our area. Just started the Build process for Chifley 42 with Rawson homes, will keep you all posted with the Build progress. 0 2441 Thanks for your reply. I will just wait and see I guess. Trying to get some more information from our builder. 9 30236 |
