Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Building a Rawson home at Wyee, Central Coast. 9May 06, 2020 12:02 pm Hi Vin, Hope your well and your house progress is coming along nicely. Not long now before they start building for you. How exciting. So our externals are finished now, Bricks, roof, eaves etc. We are so happy with the bricks, they look so neat. They will be cleaned this week. The house is starting to look impressive and take shape. Our electrical including data points etc and plumbing, AC all finished. Last week they started the insulation and carpentry has started Monday. We are so far traveling pretty close to schedule, with no holds up so far. However we were warned about possible delays on bathroom supplies, fingers crossed all runs on time. When we did a walk thru last week with our SS to double check all electrical we did realize we didn't add a extra light switch in our WIR at the other entry point, that was an easy fix. Rang the electrician to put one in no problems at all. One thing we did come across and made it very clear from the beginning and its on our plans is the Main Board. Generally they get placed on the garage side of house and we did ask that it be placed there so all utilities are on one side, guess what, its on the opposite side of house which we were cranky about and our SS knew we would be. We questioned it only to be told that's it up to the electrician and that the Council actually makes the decision to what side it goes on, especially in new Estates they prefer the main box to be on the same side for all houses.We were never told that during the process. You might want to check with yours as well if you want it on a certain side. The box is going to be painted but right now its an ugly shinny sliver box.. Other then that were tracking well. Had an appointment with a landscaper, just waiting on our design to come back and proofed before going to the 2D/3D designer.

What date have Rawson advised you for PCI and handover ? Mine construction work is expected to kick start end of May or 1st week of June. Rawson confirmed that all is done and final estimation is going on prior they handover the file to SS. So I am waiting patiently to receive a formal call from my SS. This is good surprise that Rawson added one extra light on the go. Was it in your inclusion and they missed it, or was it a new request ? I was in assumption that they tend to apply admin charges or something. In regrads of the utilities, they have already confirmed that my MB and Gas connection will go on the right side of house and Hot Water system will remain on the Garage side. This is somewhat due to distance from the respective pits or what not. Since, they are not visible from front so I am ok for now. Do post more pics. Am eager to see how your kitchen comes up... Stay safe. Vin Re: Building a Rawson home at Wyee, Central Coast. 12Jun 03, 2020 3:06 pm Hi Vin, Things are moving fast for you, so exciting. Thank you, we are very happy with We requested the new light switch at our inspection, it wasn't a problem at all. We are at lockup stage now, have been for a few weeks. All painting, doors and all cabinetry is in. It looks so good, we are really happy with our choices and our upgrades which were the pantry fit outs, also adding a small spice cupboard along side oven and another small cupboard on other side for baking trays etc. We have soft close doors in the kitchen area but black handles for the pantry. This week the tiling starts, so more progress.. Not long to go now, we haven't been advised of exact date for PCI or handover yet but SS said September. We are thinking end of August early September. Hopefully sooner tho, wishful thinking. There is still a fair bit to go tho, we have been lucky not to have any delays so far or any real issues. Our SS has been really upfront and communicates well with us. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I will add some pics so far. The Cabinetry pictures were taken thru the windows, but will get some new ones when we can get inside the house again.

When did your construction begin? Re: Building a Rawson home at Wyee, Central Coast. 15Jun 10, 2020 11:20 am Hi Amy, your house looking really good. I am keen to see once they start working on the internals and how that coming along. Slab pour at my side also completed recently. So quite excited to see the frames to erect soon, most probably next week onwards. Have you got any estimation on the PCI dates from your supervisor yet ?
