Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 153Mar 15, 2017 10:53 pm Hi JohnnBaut, I am somewhat surprised at that response. When Rawson name a house, the squares is based on total squares of the house. For example, a Balmoral 38 is a 38 square house, inclusive of the garage and alfresco. It would be somewhat inconsistent to then say the living area needs to be over 35 squares for you to get the upgraded air con unit. My build is over 35 squares regardless so I can't tell for my situation specifically. If it were me I would press them on the issue - it is a significant difference - but not sure what you can say really. I don't think its explicitly stated anywhere. Probably a good thing you asked early and have time to check. I would suggest even asking the sales person at the display villages (I find the Kellyville sales team more knowledgeable) to see what their thoughts are. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 155Mar 28, 2017 6:18 pm red15 Yes, junction box is for installation after handover. We found the range of outdoor lights fairly limited. There was one we liked well enough but you can buy the same thing anywhere for about a third of the rawson price. Not sure about the full range of sink options, but we upgraded to a double undermount sink. I think it cost us somewhere around the $1k mark but it's been a long time so I may be mistaken. FWIW we're really happy with the sink. It comes with accessories including a dish drainer insert which we use all the time, plus a colander insert and a chopping board insert, both of which we also use. Hi Red, Assuming the undermount you chose is the Pete Evans range, how is it with scratches and dents? I have read many bad reviews on that range being really prone to scratching and denting so kind of undecided at this point. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 156Mar 28, 2017 6:30 pm JohnnBaut Hi everyone. A quick and pleasant update. Rawson updated our aircon for free to the 20hp unit after a few discussions and references to your inputs. Thanks for that. Great outcome. Glad to see them come to the party. Was this with your Pre-construction administrator? It certainly did sound funny to exclude certain rooms when their homes are quoted including these rooms. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 157Mar 28, 2017 8:08 pm The PCA said no but I brought it up again during our internals appointment. The design consultant's response was consistent with the PCA but told us she will double-check. Came back with a variation list showing the price of the upgrade (~5k) and a note that says it will be complimentary for us. Definitely wouldnt have got it if I did not check in the forum. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 158Mar 28, 2017 8:13 pm @JohnnBaut: RH, along with big name project builders, are sensitive to social media. I won't be surprised if they have a team constantly monitoring the web. It is a dog-eat-dog world in the building industry and this is where EBH is consistently ahead of everyone else. There is much room for improvement with RH. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 159Mar 29, 2017 8:55 am We are currently getting our bathrooms tiled, my husband sent me pictures but there is something seriously weird in the main bathroom...the bath is against the wall at one end and the other end has over 30cm to the shower wall. I really don't remember it looking like that - does anyone have any pictures from the display home? Any help would be great! thanks You should check your detail drawings, it may show downpipe within brick pier. 14 14105 Just started the Build process for Chifley 42 with Rawson homes, will keep you all posted with the Build progress. 0 2452 Hi, Apologies - I know there is plenty out there on this but struggling to put together the puzzle.
