Rawson have been pretty reasonable with many of our changes like swapping the laundry and powder room for no extra cost because they're both wet rooms whereas many builder would charge for that kind of thing. I don't want to list prices because I know for a fact they're not going to be the same just because you're building a similar home with the same builder let alone a different builder but compared to Mojo the upgrade prices are much better. I do admit though that the admin period is pretty slow but that is the case for most of the busy builders out there today. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 453Jan 29, 2018 1:07 pm I'm impressed with Rawson so far. The block next door to us is building with a competitor, and when they did the site scrape and found that the developers put a heap of mulch on the block, the owners are now responsible for its removal. Rawson was bemused when they did our scrape and figured out how much mulch there was, but its removal is included in the site costs, so we don't have to do a thing!

Many thanks Kate Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 457Feb 19, 2018 9:39 pm Hello, We are deciding on what electrical upgrades to include for our H&L package from Rawson in Horizon Marsden Park. Home design is Davenport 24. They have an option of: "Provide LED Downlight package to First Floor (includes up to 30 x Downlights)" for $4,080 From my readings here in the forum, this seem to be on the expensive side. Would it be better for us to do this post handover? What do we need to check in the plan to ensure it will not be a big hassle doing this post handover? It is our very first build project and very naive when it comes to these things. Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks! Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 459Feb 19, 2018 10:42 pm Fee121 I believe it is very difficult to put down lights in after handover on the ground floor but the 2nd storey can be done relatively easily. $4080 does sound steep though.... Thanks Fee121. That is what I'm concern about. It does sound steep. But the difficulty / trouble it might cause by doing it after handover might be greater than the upgrade price being offered.

Another option (and the one we went with) was to have Rawson wire up the downlights but not install them. I think the cost of wire and install was around $150 a downlight? I think the wire only was $80 each. Still not cheap but we plan on having an electrician come in after and just supply and install the lights. May or may not come out on top but we were willing to give it a go. We also couldn’t decide on warm or cool LEDs so this gave us more time to consider. We aren’t up to that stage in the build so I can’t really confirm whether this is a better option.
