5 simple questions to ask your builder

Will the block be inspected by the builder prior to tender?

Our team visit every site to ensure that the site orientation, access, and other matters are all evaluated prior to tender. Every building site is unique, and a number of factors must be reviewed and addressed prior to accepting your tender. We do a full site investigation before we give you the tender price which is fixed.

 

We examine the slope, fall and soil on your lot because these considerations impact the design and cost of your quality home. Only when a soil test has been completed can the foundations be designed and priced accurately. Similarly, site levels must be thoroughly assessed to determine the fall of your block, which will identify additional site-specific needs. Rawson Homes will arrange for these tests to be completed on your behalf as part of the tender process. If your land is unregistered a survey cannot be conducted, pricing is therefore based on information provided and available.

 

What is included in your home package and what are the upgrade options?

When it comes to the level of finishing touches on your home, your builder may have inclusions that come with your home package. At Rawson Homes, all our designs come with our “Silver” inclusions package as standard. You get everything you need to finish your home, from ducted air conditioning to high ceilings – we’ve thought of all the added extras you might need and included them as part of our standard home price.
 
If you are after an additional level of luxury, then our “Gold” inclusions package offers upgrades including 40mm stone benchtops, 90cm appliances, hybrid flooring and a luxury freestanding bath, just to name a few. Download our Silver & Gold Comparison brochure here.

 

Our Rawson Homes Thrive home designs also come with quality standard inclusions for your kitchen, bathroom, and general internal and external home details. Download our Standard Inclusions brochure here for our Rawson Homes Thrive design range.

Where do the largest cost overruns come from? Will your builder provide a fixed price tender?
Unfortunately, many builders will not reveal the final price of your home until they are on site. By this time, you are both financially and legally committed to that builder. Can you afford any cost overruns after you have paid your deposits, signed your contracts and finalised your loan? Rawson Homes provides a fixed price, giving you peace of mind, not nasty surprises!
Does your builder provide independent quality inspections?

Since 1978, Rawson Homes has helped people make their dream homes a reality, taking pride in our beautiful designs and quality of build. Rawson Homes has all of its homes independently inspected by Tyrrells Property Inspections.

How solid and secure is your builder’s business?

We are incredibly proud to hold the lowest Home Owners Warranty giving us the lowest risk builder rating, with the financial backing of Daiwa House, Japan’s largest residential builder, and a $65 billion AA-rated balance sheet. When you build with Rawson Homes, you can enjoy complete peace of mind that you’re in safe hands.
