There are a lot of B team players in their pre construction team as Steve as mentioned. But he needs to escalate this to the manager of whoever he is dealing with. Go through that process and if he hits a brick wall then he can think about taking it to fair trading.

If brought as a house land package they do things slightly differently in that you sign the contract with what ever inclusion package you choose. This is done ASAP after you commit by paying $2k. Then all your own selections then become variations. Though they don't charge a variation charge for variations, just the cost. This is how I've done it, so had no tender presentation, as the package is basically then tender. I am now at about day 70 since signing the build contract, under the contract they are meant to have council approval within 90 days of signing, and once the land settles and I prove I have finance construction should be start 2 or 3 weeks there after. Well according to the contract anyway. Build with Rawson Homes 295Jul 30, 2015 9:31 am Do encourage him to post to this forum so he can share his experience and make that info available to everyone.

Re: Build with Rawson Homes 298Jul 30, 2015 4:28 pm Desibloke Hi Guys, One of my friend is trying his best to get Rawson Homes build the house they promised in Aug 2014. They have paid 5% deposit shame they didn't even start construction. He is feeling deceived by them as they keep making false promises . I said to them go to Fair trading and get it sorted. Poor bugger he signed building contract last year. BTW they have top class display homes, we were extremely impressed by their finish and we thought we will get our house built by them but looking at my friends situation we are finalising our home with other builder. Wow! Shocking. So glad we didn't go with Rawson.

Also no posts in over a year.. does this mean steer clear of rawson homes ? Any update would be great. TIA. Hi ajay we are building with them at the moment. Took about 11 months in precinstruction but 4 or 5 of those were waitimg for our land to register and settle. We were very happy with our first admin person she left the company after all the heavy lifting on our file had been done. The second one wasnt so great but the first three months there was nothung to da as land wasnt registered and everything was ready to go. Since construction started our only contact has been our ss who is awesome. Calls/texts or emails at least once a week to keep us up to date. We have had a fair bit of wet weather delays but given the wet weather progress has been good. Our build started a few weeks behind others near by and has caught up or taken over those around. So far quality seems to be good. The inspection we have had done inly picked up a couple of minor issues. All in all i would recomend them so far. I think a lot of the admin complaints you hear arw commen to most of the project builders from what i have read in forums. Just started the Build process for Chifley 42 with Rawson homes, will keep you all posted with the Build progress. 0 3629 Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense. I guess when you talk to a builder who butters up everything to look very polished, you get to start believing… 7 20243 3 52187 |
