Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 43May 30, 2017 10:37 pm Did you increase the height of you garage door? We also have 3.1m ceiling in the garage. I wondered if we should have raised the height of the garage door so you can store the kayak in the space above, drop it over the car and still be able to get out of the garage. Also in hindsight, we should have flipped the toilet and basin in the powder room downstairs to get a bigger opening for the shower! Calvin Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 44May 31, 2017 11:55 am Our site is progressing. They took less than 1 week to complete the Brickwork and now we seem to be just sitting and waiting again. It just seems to be the way of it. I think they could probably build a house in 3 months if you add up just the days when they are active on site. I think we did raise the height of the garage door but I will have to double check on the plans at home Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 46Jun 11, 2017 10:27 am They have put up the guttering, cleared rubbish and they would have put the roof on but it decided to rain again We had a look on site and noticed what looks like mould growing on some of the wooden frame. Anyone know if I should do something about this while I can still get access? Is the mould going to become a reoccurring problem once the gyprock walls are up?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I don't remember this happening to any of my frame work. Maybe get an inspector to look at it? We used Howard Ryan. Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 48Jun 11, 2017 10:49 am Thanks joamoa. I have organised Howard Ryan to do an inspection but it is still a few weeks away. I might send them the photo and see what they say. Were you happy with their service? Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 51Jun 15, 2017 1:34 am Fingers crossed it isn't a mould issue! I've also had my frames exposed to the recent rain, however haven't seen anything like mould on mine. Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 52Jun 15, 2017 6:20 am The SS said it isn't mould. He said that when treated beams are exposed to the weather the termite and mould treatment leeches out a little. I will just have to wait and see what the inspector says when he comes out. Meanwhile they put the roof on yesterday so fingers crossed that stops any more weather drama. Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 54Jun 15, 2017 9:50 am Roof on the house sure made a big difference. Feels protected! Now no more excuses for further delays.

They have painted outside upstairs and cleaned the top storey bricks. Now we wait....again. Re: Rawson Homes - Balmoral 34 MK1 St George Area NSW 58Aug 07, 2017 9:21 pm So sorry to hear your build had come to a halt. I had there Same experience with the roof. At least it's somewhat weather tight. I think it's time to remind HQ of the liquidated damages and ask your pca to calculate the rain days and start counting the days over Contact. Chin up, sometimes they just need a nudge to remind them they are at risk or beyond the contract period.
