It also says Rawson will get all the inspections done. Its not clear after handover who is responsible to fix any issues from these inspections. Our list of certifications at handover dont match the list ryde council requires or even the list on the PCA CC approval form. So clear as mud.... Ill be on the phone to Ryde, DM certifiers and Rawson first thing tomorrow. Rawson Edge 39 MKI in Ryde, Sydney Re: KDR with Rawson Homes - The Edge 39 MKI (Sydney) - PCI 509Sep 30, 2016 6:49 am Is it normal practice? I just found it very hard to understand that we spent a lot of money on the house, and when the house is handed over to us, we can not even move in ???? It is so frustrating and stressful !! Re: KDR with Rawson Homes - The Edge 39 MKI (Sydney) - PCI 510Sep 30, 2016 6:58 pm I strongly encourage you to contact head office as well as your local master builder association as soon as possible.

Re: KDR with Rawson Homes - The Edge 39 MKI (Sydney) - PCI 513Sep 30, 2016 7:17 pm 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 the final OC. The builder told me from the beginnings big that they would provide the IOC prior to handover.

Shutters look gorgeous! Btw, are you using those old tires in the garden? Re: KDR with Rawson Homes - The Edge 39 MKI (Sydney) - PCI 516Oct 10, 2016 7:51 pm Rawson's cleaning contractors selectively clean, or should I say, selectively not remove rubbish. The tyres have been there for at least 6 months and were never removed. It's on the very long list of defects for the warranty call. Re: KDR with Rawson Homes - The Edge 39 MKI (Sydney) - PCI 517Oct 10, 2016 9:58 pm Love the shutters! They look great.

How dirty internally was your house when you got the keys? Did you have to wipe down walls and doors? Pull out all draws to clean inside and out for the kitchen? I'm just trying to prepare myself to those things now! Eek! Re: KDR with Rawson Homes - The Edge 39 MKI (Sydney) - PCI 519Oct 11, 2016 5:57 am Where did the tyres come from? I wouldn't expect the cleaners to dispose of them. A bunch of tyres were found under our place when we knocked down and it cost us the better part of $2k to get rid of them.

The house certainly wasn't clean apart from the floor, Windows and surfaces. My wife cleaned out all the cupboards, drawers and wiped the doors, trims and shelves as they were still quite grubby. The ground floor still had grout residue, but kennards hire an amazing floor scrubber wet vac which worked a treat. My son even had a go!
