If you're able to get to the electrician direct that might be cheaper, otherwise talk to your SS but expect an admin fee on top of extra cost. We also did lots of quotes during the build. We just arranged access with SS. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 80Jan 06, 2017 10:00 pm Hi all, we are building a Benham with Rawson in Jordan Springs East. We finalised our colours and everything back in September, and have just been waiting on land registration which is due the end of this month (if it doesn't get pushed back again!). The whole experience so far has been alot of fun, but it will be fantastic to actually get started and see our new home come to life. We both regularly work with Rawson homes, and have done so for the past 8 years or so which was what prompted us to choose to build with them. We are anticipating plenty of minor issues and set backs (and probably frustration!), but are confident that we are in good hands with the people at Rawson. I have seen them (and been the one arguing against them) when they have gone in to bat for their clients, and while they don't always get the outcome they want, they genuinely try their best. Anyway, we're looking forward to following your builds and being able to share in the joys and frustrations with others going through the same things! Happy building to you all! EDIT: I just read Canberra_gal's comment about knowing what you want before the selections process and I very much agree with this! I had ordered tile and carpet samples, collected stone and polytec samples, and bought a stack of paint pot samples, as well as brick samples etc months before our selection appointments, I have an entire room in our current house dedicated to our build with more samples than I'd care to admit lol. It makes the process much easier if you already have a pretty good idea of what you like. We took the full day off work expecting it to take a while, but completed colours and electrical in an hour and a half, I think colours only took about 20 minutes. The consultant can give you suggestions, but they are a project home builder, not a custom home designer, so you're not likely to get a full walk through or custom design advice. sydneysider - keep in mind with an undermount sink you will have upgrade prices for the sink type, as well as additional stone costs for the undermount cutout, and potentially admin fee's (depending on where you are up to in your build process). In regards to wall lights in the staircase, we got 4 of LEDlux Elfa square inset (white) which cost $130 total. Hope that helps.
