You got the Majestic Facade right? Re: KDR With Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 Mk1 - Majestic Facad 104Mar 18, 2017 8:21 am We didn't go for the panels. Didn't want to maintain them. We also wanted a simpler look. That's why we did not do the rendered column either. We splurged on the brick!

That's why we did not do the rendered column either. We splurged on the brick! The cedar's what gravitated me to the design, because it softens the natural look of bricks although you are right about the maintenance part. We also did not go for a rendered column due to maintenance - you'd have to repaint it once it shows signs of wear, instead opted for a lighter colour brick. Did you do double brick for the entire house? How much did you have to pay extra to make it all brick?

Is it the camera quirk or are the internal three panel of matrix board over the garage not painted?

Re: KDR With Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 Mk1 - Majestic Facad 112Apr 27, 2017 2:01 pm Hi Everyone! Well I'm happy to report that we got handover done on the 21st (last Friday). Everything went reasonably well. Although, we had to take a leap of faith that the upstairs was done correctly because we couldn't use the freshly coated stairs! There's a few things to rectify but on the whole, I'm happy with what they've done. They forgot the splashback behind the range hood, so that was put in today. Rangehood goes in tomorrow. I have a question for those of you who have had handover. Is your Air Con unit bolted to its concrete slab? I was told by the SS today that they don't do that unless requested, due to vibrations.

KDR With Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 Mk1 - Majestic Facade 115Apr 27, 2017 5:22 pm joamoa I have a question for those of you who have had handover. Is your Air Con unit bolted to its concrete slab? I was told by the SS today that they don't do that unless requested, due to vibrations. Congrats on handover Jo! Must be such a relief and I definitely know that feeling after such a wait. Well. Our external unit is bolted to the slab. The Rawson construction manager ( not the site supervisor ) insisted that vacarro return to fix it in place. There are no issues with vibration so I'm surprised to hear that used as a reason not to fix it to the slab.

I am looking for feedback on them from others who have built with them. 0 13444 Just started the Build process for Chifley 42 with Rawson homes, will keep you all posted with the Build progress. 0 2452 |
