Looks like we might be on a similar timeline - our demolition is done and site excavation was completed last week. We're expecting slab pour in about a week and a half. Good luck with your build. Isn't it exciting to get started?

Can't wait to hand over to Rawson. Good luck with your build! Re: KDR With Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 Mk1 - Majestic Facad 9Apr 14, 2016 10:32 am Rawson are supposed to be starting tomorrow - putting water tanks in first and then levelling land Won't hold my breath - as this will be the third start date they've given us Haven't started a thread yet - hoping to do it once the build actually starts... Re: KDR With Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 Mk1 - Majestic Facad 11Apr 14, 2016 11:05 am Yes they took possession quite a while ago with fences going up week or two before Easter long weekend (when they were first going to start) We've been assigned a new SS so I'm hoping he will get things moving Re: KDR With Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 Mk1 - Majestic Facad 12Apr 14, 2016 12:54 pm fizzed Yes they took possession quite a while ago with fences going up week or two before Easter long weekend (when they were first going to start) We've been assigned a new SS so I'm hoping he will get things moving Well at least the clock is ticking for them at this point, not you. Not much of a consolation, I know. At least it's been dry so they can't claim weather if they run over 10 months. Best of luck. Re: KDR With Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 Mk1 - Majestic Facad 13Apr 14, 2016 1:14 pm Yes I've told them it's their clock ticking and they need to get back on track Though not sure how clear I was that they have broken the contract - they should have started 20 days from peg out but tomorrow is about 33 days... Re: KDR With Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 Mk1 - Majestic Facad 14Apr 14, 2016 1:18 pm I'm pretty sure our contract actually says 20 days from the time we completed all our requirements - ie, from site handover, which was even earlier than peg out. Sounds that like they've got some work to do to get back on schedule. I'm not seeing any posts where people are ahead of schedule - preparing myself for frustration in the months ahead and trying to stay focused on the end game.

I will certainly be practising and trying to imagine just how good it will be when we are in All the best!

Very similar floor plan. Congratulations and good luck with your build! Take lots of photos throughout the progress!

I will certainly be practising and trying to imagine just how good it will be when we are in All the best! LOL. In all seriousness, just look at the bright side if you can. Once you sign the contract, the only thing you can do is always keep them in check. Think like honing your project management skills - it's your house and your money only you hired someone else to do these for you, but at the end result is a house they'll turn over to you once it's built.

Our piers went in last Friday. Do you have a slab pour date? Ours is supposedly happening Monday - though it's the third date we've been given so we'll see. http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=82770&p=1531839#p1531839 Hi, I am looking into doing a KDR in Melbourne and am contemplating using Kialla Homes.
