Rawson did our peg out just after Fizzed - in April and we are still at least a month from handover. That's 68 weeks of construction so far. I don't know if we've just been unfortunate or if this is becoming the norm with Rawson but it certainly seems like most people are getting their houses handed over to them a lot sooner than us. Very unimpressed with this mob. How long did everyone else's Rawson build take? Any tips on common defects I should keep an eye out for at final walkthrough?

The main problem was with the brickies - there was apparently a shortage so our house sat there with the bricks half done for about 6 months. I won't ever be building with Rawson again. There's a Metricon house going up around the corner - they started building 3 months ago and its nearly up to lock up stage! Just started the Build process for Chifley 42 with Rawson homes, will keep you all posted with the Build progress. 0 2451 We were lucky in that our old house was so small (86 square metres) compared to the new house, they were able to take enough readings around the old backyard house before… 8 37142 The biggest challenge will be if you take out a loan and then run out of money - you'll have an incomplete security and lenders do not like this so you can get stuck.… 2 19097 |
