Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1648Jun 10, 2015 3:17 pm Melodynche Our work started in about 2 weeks from having all certificates ready. But we were onto our administrator to start as the admin process took way longer than expected. yeah the admin process is really slow!! we finally got an email on the 1st of June saying all certificates had been received, and our supervisor would be phoning us in a short while. Got a phone call today telling us pegging had been done yesterday leveling out is booked in for Friday and fences will be put up on Monday/Tuesday. So it took 8 days to start work which is pretty good. If it is a quality home and we can notice a difference with them and other project homes in the neighborhood the admin wait will be worth it. we learnt not too don't listen to the sales guys, they just spin you crap to get the sale and don't let you know the admin process takes a while.

Just finalizing finance next week. Our house is highly based around the display of the Metford 33 in our town and I just realised today is the last day that the display home is open (it's been sold) and I'm thinking I should take more photos of specific things in the house like their placement of PowerPoints and drawers in the kitchen etc... I've already taken photos of just the rooms for ideas on how we can style the house when we move in. Anything else you can think of I should take photos of while I can? - M33M Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1651Sep 13, 2015 1:15 pm Hi brick by brick, how everything going? I haven't seen a update in your blog for a while. We've had problems with our feature tiles. They put them all in the wrong places. Tile direct live up to their standard.

Hello Melodynche All is going well. it slowed down there for a little while but our walk through is this week!!! Which means handover is jusssst around the corner. I haven't updated the blog because I like communicating in pictures and we have been locked out for the past month and a bit so haven't had many photo ops. Keep your eyes peeled for a new post in 2-3 weeks or maybe a surprise post this week That's a shame to hear about your tiles did it get sorted out?? We are so glad we met with the tiler and checked the tiles and showed him exactly how we wanted them laid. *sigh* Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1653Sep 13, 2015 6:42 pm Oh yeh I wish we had the chance but we were overseas at the time. Glad to see your almost in. The wait is almost over. Look forward to you next post. Hopefully there isn't too many problems to be fixed Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1654Oct 16, 2015 8:44 pm We're building with Rawson and I have found them to be very good (no I am not being paid to say that). Sure the pre-construction paperwork process takes ages (and longer than I expected). Our framing commenced on Tuesday this week and its coming along great. Framing Carpenters have done a great job and worked very well to get to the progress they had today with only 4 days work. Very excited to see the real progress and can't wait to see what our bricks look like (which is due to commence in 2 weeks time). Follow our Blog in my signature if interested. Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1655Oct 21, 2015 10:00 am hi everyone. we have our final walk through next week and should be in first week of November. We have had a great supervisor who has pumped it out in around 20 weeks, so we couldn't be happier!! We were thinking we were only going to just make Christmas! we were quite lucky though our first supervisor ( known to be very lazy ) had family issues and they took him off our build so we were cheering! Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1656Oct 22, 2015 1:12 pm Hey truckk, I have to ask, who was your old SS and where are you building? I'm at pre-lining stage at the moment and have had quite a few delays... we're probably looking at closer to 40 weeks the way things are going. You're super lucky to get it done in 20 weeks!

Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1659Apr 19, 2016 3:38 pm Hi, we're building the Metford 33 in Central West NSW and just trying to get an idea of how long the build will take to complete? We are up to roofing atm and bricks to happen next I believe. Do they say 20 weeks to complete? We are about 6 weeks in so far from slab down. - M33M Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1660Jun 03, 2016 11:43 am Can anybody tell me what constitutes " BUILDING WORKS " is it when they commence construction? or is it when they commence their required processes to build your home? ie, approvals etc. 3 51784 Any advice on how to ensure the kit home granny flat that im thinking of buying will get council approval.
