We have had a horrible experience with the Thornton office and Wickham office staff. We have received nasty emails regarding colour selections and contract queries. Extremely unprofessional. They threaten you with their "big lawyers" every chance they get. STAY AWAY. My husband and I were made sign the building contract under duress and pay $3950.

We had a 100% guarantor for the build so we have now had to put our land on the market to pay this sales commission invoice when there was "no sale". STAY AWAY The irony of this. The new NSW building commissioner's son is the current Interim CEO of Rawson. David Chandler is the building commissioner policing unethical builders and his son is Nick Chandler.
