Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1475Nov 05, 2014 6:56 pm Thanks Kiwifire hope yours goes well tomorrow. Was a good walk through and our SS was finding things he wasn't happy with either as we were going through together. Also had a relative who is in the industry go through for an experienced set of eyes. A couple of annoying these like someone stealing one of our outside taps but nothing that can't be fixed/replaced. A few paint fixes and door chips to be looked into also. Wasn't able to test leaks since the water was off due to above so will be sure to check that in the next two weeks. That said, handover set for Tuesday week. Time to book in comms, landscaping, etc.... Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1476Nov 05, 2014 8:55 pm Has anyone had any issues with rawson in regards to the $1000 fee in going over the 150 days submission date from tender signed? Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1477Nov 05, 2014 9:28 pm Melodynche, we took 10 months in admin due to continual balls ups on Rawson's part. They didn't charge us and I would've liked to see them try as Mr Brown Bear and I were ropable by the time we hit the contract signing. We had to pay an extra $1700 to extend from 120 days to 150 days as we were going through council not CDC. Quite frankly that was enough! Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1478Nov 06, 2014 9:17 am It's so exciting and informative to read through everyone's experiences. We're currently in the demolition stage with Rawson Noticed that quite afew people on the forums seem to arrange a private inspector. Is it necessary or beneficial for a Rawson build? Is there anyone recommendable? At what stages do people generally get an independent inspection? Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1479Nov 06, 2014 10:07 am Yes mrs brown bear, it's looks like we have to go through council now instead of cdc. But in the tender states that we would be going through cdc. Our land registration was delayed by around 3 weeks but we did advise that at signing the original tender which unfortunatley has not been recorded Re: Rawson Homes - Our dream home journey - Metford 28 Trend 1480Nov 06, 2014 10:14 am We had to go council due to the setback rules. CDC wanted alignment with neighbours and council said 6.5m min. Our neighbours were 10-14m back. Had mini PCI today. Marked up electrical and got a few other things down. Our SS is pretty awesome so nothing's a drama. I'll have a handover date by tomorrow. Better get packing. So I'm insanely late for work this morning so may be burning the midnight oil tonight. 3 51227 Any advice on how to ensure the kit home granny flat that im thinking of buying will get council approval.
