Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Desperate even on the first step of house building 3Mar 08, 2013 10:08 pm Forg Rawson refused to do my BIL's duplex, a few years ago before they got so busy. Additionally, not sure if we were talking with the same salesguy you're dealing with; but if it was, he told us some stuff which was quite patently wrong when we looked-up the relevant legislation (ie. that ground-floor alfresco area had to be included in floorspace-ratio calculations under CDC rules - wrong!). I'd seriously be talking to other builders. I do not believe (and this is from personal experience with them but without wider experience with other builders) that Rawson are currently a good builder to use for anything that's not almost identical to one of their standard designs. I believe that few project-home builders are. IMHO you need to find one that either claims to do duplexes or custom builds ... to be fair maybe give John a chance to explain himself, but only give him a few days. I can't offer recommendations, but many people on this forum recommend Zac Homes for a custom build; although from what they say, ou do have to be 'pushy' and chase everything up regularly & frequently. I know Alkira Homes & Jandson Homes do custom builds, and Trevelle Homes has a couple of standard duplex designs. That guy is Singaporeness. I and my wife have called him a few time times. He just gave different excuses and promised to draw it very soon. I will leave it till end of next week anyway. Thanks for your information. Now, it might be necessary to do more research about the other builders.... the step up is 30mm and wanting it to be flat . how much does the concrete have to be lowered .we plan on removing bath and lenghten shower and adding seat. the old bath… 0 11835 Do I need to concern about this pattern of crack?
