Rico, congrats on the progress. Looks like we are at a similar stage. We had the slab poured before Christmas. Frame started going up this week.
Our SS has promised…

Robbie: Chris B. It was going to be Wayne but he got swapped out.

Thanks Pongie. Thanks kazzaw. We are building a modified Balmoral MKII in Southwest Sydney. We drove by tonight and the slab looks huge. Hopefully the hot weather this week won't…

Wow, just caught up on the thread. So many handovers or very soon to be handovers. Congrats KiwiFire, goodluck Mrs BrownBear, KazzaW and JFN!
Our slab is being poured today (hopefully…

Thanks Ongie. I was going to do the fitout out post handover, but then thought what about do the entire wardrobe post handover and get a credit back from Rawson

Hi All,
My believe that whilst Rawson include the Built in Wardrobes, they don't provide the wardrobe fitout as standard (just a rod). We were originally planning on doing the fitout…

Hi DaWolf,
We are in planning process of building the Balmoral 38. We have just paid our 10K deposit and waiting for the final plans to submit to CDC

Thanks SheridanBenjamin. We don't have issue with the setback requirements. We will have Matrix board in some parts and Axxon sheeting in others. We figured it was to reduce extra…

AddyGirl, we are contemplating timber too, for upstairs and downstairs, although we are concerned they will be wrecked by our 4yr and 2yr old, so alternative is bamboo/laminate. I think…

Have you signed the tender acceptance At the Avenue? We have our tender acceptance meeting this week and I suspect we are going to be horribly surprised by the tender…

Appreciate the quick response Robbie55. Are you able to tell me who/where the brick/roofing and tiling places are?
We have already requested that they include a drop edge beam in our…

We have our Tender acceptance meeting booked in this week. I have been reading through the "things you forget thread" as well as the "before you sign anything" viewtopic.php?f=31&t=66212
Our SC…

We went to Homeworld Kellyville. We are looking to build the Balmoral 34

Thanks lalabk and robbie55. Is there any opportunity to negotiate on price? or is it essentially, this is how much it is going to cost?

sounds like I'm at a similiar stage to ManchesterA. We paid our $1200 deposit last week. What is the difference between the $1,200 and the second $3K deposit?

Thanks for clarifying JTM. And hurray you have a front door and garage door! BTW the link to your blog on your homeone forum profile doesn't work - you need…

Look beautiful s36!

Congrats SheridanBenjamin. Just looked through your blog - the timeline you've posted has been really helpful in setting timing expectations for our journey. We just paid our block acceptance deposit…

Congrats Glacier and Bailey on the progress of your houses! I hope to be in a similar position this time next year although I'm probably being over optimistic. We will…

Thanks Pinny. Did you go brick veneer or double brick? And may I ask why you didn't go Hebel?

Does anyone know if Rawson offer the option of a material like Hebel rather than brick? I think Metricon do and it was cheaper than going double brick.
We're off to…

Interesting ... we instead had a builder do all of this for us (ie. rather than going to an architect), and even though the end-result wasn't properly finalised (it was…

Forg, we went with a architect when we had diff requirements and needed a custom build. We went right through with them and got an approved DA, however only then…

Appreciate the quick reply Jen1977 and Forg. And thanks for clarifying Forg. At this stage we think we will only need minimal changes to the floor plan so hopefully that…

Hi All,
We are looking at doing a KDR and are interested in the Rawson Balmoral 34 as it meets the width requirements of our block (12.8m) as well as has…
