Just wondering your thoughts on the Rawson inclusions and LUX package. How do you think it compares to other builders. Also what is the driveway allowance in sqm?
thanks
Approx. $130 a square metre for extra driveway.

Is it a good idea to put only the batten points and NOT buy lights from Rawson(except downlights). Will we be able to save some $$? I was thinking about the ceiling lights, pendant lights, external lights etc. > Strongly suggest you look through this thread first. The supplied downlights and fittings sourced from beacon are rubbish. Ask a lighting design engineer - general Q&A https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?share_ ... are_type=t 2. For security camera, what is the good option. Can we just ask Rawson to do the cabling(cat6?) and then we can install the system later? > Once again. Consider the areas to monitor and have Rawson provide an cat6 run to the roof cavity or eave. Get a proper company to supply and install the system. The electrical contractors they use aren't very good at post install. You'll never get support from them if you have issues. 3. What all we need to consider at the external.. Not sure whether we need external junction boxes(don't know why is it used for, but saw in some forums) and external powerpoints? Whats your experience. > Put external jboxes in. Don't get the halogen spot light ones Rawson supply from beacon. They are crap. 1 year in and my ones are faded and look very ordinary now. Think about putting a power point in your alfresco and either side of your house and maybe one near the front in case you like to use 240v blowers and or mowers. You'll get a double point where your tank is, along with the gas hot water unit so keep that in mind when your thinking about where to put them. 4. Are Sensor lights good to have above garage? Rawson has a sensor flood light which costs $255 > Way overpriced for the poor quality units stocked by beacon. Save your money and get one from a quality lighting store. 5. Is NBN Hills Box required? > As others have already advised, consider removing this as the cabinet is too shallow and restrictive. 6. For Downlights, warm white or cool white is preferred? > Personally, warm white is better. Cool white can be quite stark and you shouldn't mix one with the other as it will look and feel wrong. Check through the link provided above. 7. Is it better to put Foxtell prewiring? Satelitte or cable connection better? (I don't have foxtel right now) > Nowadays I'd say no to foxtel and use "foxtel now" anyway. But if your planning to get Telstra cable, get it. It will work out cheaper if you've got plans to use nbn cable as well. 8. Video intercom is an upgrade as well costing $1350.Would it be good to do this from Rawson itself? > Kind of overkill of your planning to do video monitoring anyway. Just take the option of a wireless doorbell. $20. My 2c Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 419Nov 15, 2017 7:44 am For those who have moved in - what NBN equipment does Rawson install? I know they do the hills hub but keen to know whether they install the external nbn utility box and/or the internal NTD/connection box or whether these will be a job for nbnco when I connect with a provider. Re: Rawson Homes - General Thread 420Nov 15, 2017 8:12 am NBN installs that stuff (assuming you are in an NBN fibre area). NBN do have a preinstall program where you can ask the builder to ask NBN to install before you move in. But you need to initiate that and someone needs to be there to let them in. Rawson was ok for me with that, they organised the lot but our NBN is slightly different to standard as our NTD is outdoors installed in a meter type box. So NBN could do that without someone being home. If you are in a NBN fibre to the node or cable area then different story. Oh our install was different because our estate startered our as Transact rather than NBN, NBN brought their fibre network a few years back but Transact had to finish off the estate. So the estate is done to different install standards and Transacts install standard was outdoor NTD. Must admit I like it and am not sure why NBN doesn’t do that as the standard method for new estates. Would be hard as retrofit of course. 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.
