I'm trying to apportion a limited budget to the areas that will make the most (positive) impact to the Huntley I am building with Rawson. I already have provisioned $5000 for Electrical and another $5000 flooring/tiling but just want to see what others have done in these areas as well as the internal selections. Thank you. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 515Apr 28, 2018 10:51 am Hi mate I just did a comprehensive reply to you but this website continues to refresh and not save a copy for me in drafts so I can’t be bothered typing it again sorry. Gist of it was, it’s completely personal on what you do. If your happy with everything standard such as one bayonet fitting for the lights then you will save there. We are building a 42 sq home and our electrical alone is around the 15k and that’s not anything special and not a thousand downlights. Flooring should be included so unless you pick an upgraded tile or board you won’t pay more. Floor to ceiling tiling in baths is very expensive. . Our non standard inclusion cost is around 25k but that includes a fireplace. So add electrical on top of that. Cheers Simon Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 516Apr 28, 2018 11:09 am AJW Salfield radix Hi, i just recently reserved a home and land package at newpark marsden park, davenport 24. This is our first time to build a house and we were wondering if we are really not allowed to interchange some colours due to our personal colour preference especially the internal colour schemes. Is it really like that with rawson? Just comparing it to the builder of my friends house which is eden brae home and land package, with their sets of colour schemes, they you allow to change some colours according to their personal preference. Thank you in advance. Rawson allow from memory 2 different colours inside but 3 outside something like that. You can pick any taubmans colour you want. As you are in an estate, the estate might have certain rules in regards to colour, but I would guess that would only be external. Just for clarity, whilst Rawson's use Taubmans, you can in fact choose any colour from any paint maker. We have a Dulux colour in our place. And I am with you, if there are colour restrictions these will more than likely be external and estate restrictions. Thank you for the info mate.

G’day, we allocated $10K for electrical and it was pretty accurate for our two storey house - however we also sourced our lights/fans on our own (not through Rawson) so it would’ve been more like $15K if we did it all through them. This was for downlight/fan provisions, data points and power points. Around 60 downlights overall. The tiling appointment added around $6K. This included upgraded tiles, matching coloured grout and tiling to the ceiling in the ensuite only. The standard tile range is a bit depressing so we felt that was money well spent. We upgraded to the higher end timber laminate flooring which was around $1.5K extra from memory. We are building the Edge. Hope this helps.

I know they use dulux colours in all their displays but they made us choose a similar Taubmans colour. Even in their Look Book for their displays they've called out Taubmans paint colours rather than the dulux colours. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 520Apr 28, 2018 10:39 pm Wow!, Thanks everyone for your time and responses. This information will certainly help with the appointments that are coming up. Also would like to mention that the blogs are really helping with gauging time frames, gives me things to think about and look for. Certainly calming down the nerves. Thanks again!
