Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 20Nov 12, 2016 6:07 am I was pretty happy with our plan presentation meeting. We had Ron go through the plans with us and he was great and had several good ideas we wouldn't have thought of. Most of the things we changed were priced in the spot. From memory our front door was the only thing we had to wait for quotes on because we didn't like any of the options they showed us. They price all the options and you choose which to keep. After we went through the plans someone else talked through colours and she was great too. They don't mock up the colours which was a bit disappointing but we did a rough mock up ourselves in Photoshop. After you sign the initial contract, everything else comes back as a variation. We used the tender for bank pre-approval then got full approval on the total cost just before construction started. Internal colours and electrical happened after council approval for us, but we deliberately delayed because we had a tenant in the house and we were waiting for the lease to expire before knocking down. As for must have upgrades, I think that is very much down to individual priorities. We made a lot of changes but I think the only true essential was probably to add lots of powerpoints because there really aren't enough.
