Rawson Homes

I have had a great experience working with Danae throughout the entire pre-construction process. From the beginning, Danae has been professional, patient and highly responsive. She always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly, kept me informed throughout every stage, and helped coordinate the many variations, finance requirements and… Read more ·  1

documentation involved in my project.

Her communication was always clear and timely, and she was willing to accommodate my preference for email communication, which made the whole process much easier while I was working.

Thanks to Danae’s support and attention to detail, everything progressed smoothly from planning through to the construction phase. I truly appreciate her dedication, professionalism and excellent customer service.

I would highly recommend Danae to anyone building with Rawson Homes. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful process much easier.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I dreamt of creating a big, beautiful, comfortable family home, and that is exactly what Rawson has built. From the start of the planning process, Rawson made us feel that we were part of a team trying to design the best home that would suit us and our needs. As we had made extensive changes to the design, there was a lot of work in… Read more ·  1

preconstruction to make sure the that every single detail was perfect.

When we moved into the construction phase of the of the house, it really took off. Mark was our site supervisor, and he was as passionate about building the house as we were. We always knew exactly what was going on, what the plan was next week, and what the overall plan was for the next month. Mark was always trying to get the best work from all the trades, and he made sure the house was perfect. His attention to detail was incredible and really appreciated.

I had been warned that building a house would be incredibly stressful. We actually found it exciting and fun.

But, best of all, the results speak for themselves. -The finished result was that I have an immaculate home, exactly as planned. - The build was completed months ahead of schedule. - And exactly within budget.

Thank you Rawson.

Construction Process: I had a one storey house built with Rawson Homes in the Leppington area last year and my experience was exceptional! I’m very grateful that the process was trouble-free, they were very transparent along the way, and the end product has been excellent. For context, my parents had a terrible building experience with a smaller… Read more ·  1

building company 5 years ago. Because of this, I was extremely apprehensive about building myself. However, after doing some extensive research and reading about how reputable Rawson Homes is, I decided to take the plunge and give them a go.

I was assigned Murray as my site manager, and I genuinely could not have asked for a better supervisor. From the beginning, I was a painful client, making it clear how important communication, honesty and transparency was to me. I explained how it was hard for me to trust builders and how I was taking a huge risk. Murray was understanding, honest and very helpful through every step of the process. He was patient, highly responsive and always willing to listen to my concerns. I always appreciated his willingness to go the extra mile to reassure me, explain things and attend to any concerns that arose. My concerns were valued and as a customer, I felt he genuinely cared and wanted to do the best he could to deliver what was promised. Murray always showed depth of knowledge and a high level of professionalism and expertise.

The construction process itself was smooth, with regular inspections scheduled for me to inspect different stages of the work. During these, it was evident that high quality work was being produced, which was reassuring and a relief! Murray’s attention to detail, motivation to do things right and pride in producing his best work has made this a wonderful experience for me. The level of care Murray and his team took to build my house is evident in the end product and reflected in the minimal defects it’s had 5 months after handover. I’m very grateful for the excellent job Murray and the team have done building my house and I thank them all for making this process worthwhile!

Post-construction process:

I would like to acknowledge Gordon, from the warranty team, and express my gratitude for having a smooth post-construction warranty process. Gordon was very helpful, attentive and thorough from the beginning. He took the time to see the defects I had identified, listened to my queries and helped me, even providing advice during our conversations on other things about the house. He was very efficient in sending tradies out to rectify the minor defects found and always followed up the work that was completed to check it had all been done to a high standard. He has shown genuine care, professionalism and made this process a very positive experience.

It took us a little longer to get through the pre-construction stage, much like many others. We understand that the more detailed and planning is upfront, the smoother the process will be later on. However, we are very grateful for how the construction stage progressed. It moved faster than we had expected. Our site manager, Chris, was excellent… Read more ·  1

at coordinating trades at each stage. He always did his best to say yes to any small adjustments we requested during construction. Even our neighbours commented positively on Chris, as they could see him consistently on-site, coordinating work and ensuring everything ran smoothly before the house was completed. We built a two-storey home and are very happy with the final outcome! We had heard mixed reviews about other project builders in the ACT from friends, which made us feel even more confident in our choice of Rawson. Rawson has been around for over 45 years, which can show they are reliable with great leaders and staffs around to make the dream home into reality.

We had a great experience during the construction of our new home, the Chiefly 40 in Bingara Gorge. The project was supervised by Rawson's Will Gray, who gave the much-needed comfort and assurance after a somewhat protracted pre-construction approval process. Show details ·  1

Our warranty manager at Rawson, Gordon Moustafa, was so helpful and thorough with going through all items that needed fixing once construction was finished. There weren’t any major issues but everything was fixed promptly and he took time to explain everything in detail as well as provide advice for ongoing care to minimise issues in the future.… Read more ·  1

He also made sure to follow up with us on items to make sure they were actioned rather than wait for us to contact him. He was a pleasure to work with and made what could have been a very stressful experience, very easy.

Danae has been fantastic to deal with throughout the pre-construction stage of my build with Rawson Homes. She has been responsive, professional and easy to communicate with, always helping to clarify the process and keep things on track. I have really appreciated her support and the care she has taken in managing this stage of the build. Would recommend Rawson based on my experience with Danae and looking forward to moving to construction! Show details ·  1

Review of Rawson Homes – Extremely Disappointing Experience I purchased a home from Rawson Homes back in August, and the experience so far has been nothing short of terrible. • Contract Issues: Multiple errors were made in the contract, which took significant time to amend. This created unnecessary stress and confusion right from the start. •… Read more

Settlement Pressure: I was pressured with unrealistic settlement dates of 14 and 21 days, forcing me to scramble with my broker to organise finance in an unreasonably short timeframe. • Title Plan Failures: Rawson Homes failed to submit title plans successfully. The first submission was rejected and required amendments, and now we have passed the sunset date without resolution. • Poor Communication: Despite repeatedly contacting my solicitor, I only received one-sentence responses with no meaningful updates or clarification on when the unit title will be registered. Instead, I was informed of an extension all the way to March 2026. • Financial Impact: I’ve had to extend my loan, yet I am still no closer to settling or moving into the property. No clear timeline or concise information has been provided. • Unprofessional Conduct: Their solicitors have been unprofessional, and dealing with their agents has been an exercise in frustration, with no forward motion or genuine effort to resolve issues.

Overall, this process has been stressful, costly, and deeply disappointing. I would strongly caution anyone considering Rawson Homes to be aware of the lack of professionalism, poor communication, and the significant delays that can arise.

Over 48 hours and no response from Rawson.

Dreadful experience with Rawson Homes- please read my full review under “new home build “ highlighting issues I had with Rawson Homes to date- my suggestion is to look elsewhere for budget friendly well known spec home builders Show details

Absolute disaster of pre-construction experience. The sales team was good with quote. Signed the tender on October of 2024 with no end of pre-construction through no fault of my own. Rawson sent me with a wrong site cut plan and it took closer to a month to fix it, then hits the Christmas break which pushes back even more. Communicating process… Read more

with the pre-construction team is very slow almost nonexistent. I terminated my contract with McDonald Jones thinking Rawson would be much better which cost me around 10K. However, my experience is turning out to be a nightmare. I will be lucky if they get on the site in next couple of months. I have seen an entire double story house being built by them in that time frame.

We’ve recently moved into our beautiful new home and are absolutely thrilled with the entire experience from start to finish. Throughout the whole build process, everything ran smoothly and we couldn’t be happier with the quality, communication, and overall result.

5 stars to our warranty manager Gordon! We’ve been in our new build 18mths and experienced some issues with the polish on our staircase. He investigated our concerns promptly and followed up every step of the way, even nudging the contractor for repairs. He’s knowledgeable, thorough and and a pleasure to deal with! Show details ·  1

At the start of the following week I received a text message from Stegbar to say the fault has been logged & the job booked in for a service call. Stegbar have since completed the works & all good!!

Gordon has since followed up with a courtesy call to check the details.

The Warranty Team are an Excellent Team to deal with.!! Happy to recommend Rawson Homes to any one looking to build. Rawson Homes build a good quality home. Cheers Robert

I would just like to express my gratitude towards Mary-Anne, who we have had a very pleasant experience with during the Pre-Construction Stage of the project.

addressing any concerns we had (even perhaps some unusual or difficult enquiries). She would regularly call to provide us with updates, and would always endeavour to reply to our emails at her first availability. Towards the end of last year, it was not unusual to see emails from Mary-Anne late into the evening - a mark of her work ethic but also a kind compassion in wanting to help us start our build on time. You have an amazing customer care consultant in Mary-Anne and we are happy to have shared this part of our journey with her!

I would like to leave a review about the PRECONSTRUCTION PROCESS with Rawson Homes, in particular about MARY-ANNE BROWN from Customer Care. Mary-Anne was always polite, friendly and very supportive. I was having major issues with my bank giving a loan approval, but Mary-Anne was patient and helped a lot with dealing with my bank's ongoing… Read more ·  1

demands. I felt confident working with Mary-Anne, knowing that she was on my side, and would try her hardest to help me through this difficult time. I hope my further interactions with Rawson Homes are as good as what I had with Mary-Anne. (I will be posting further reviews, for good or bad, as the construction with Rawson Homes continues) Thank you, Mary-Anne.

We had a really great experience during the preconstruction stage. Mary-Anne Brown was an absolute pleasure to deal with, always friendly, responsive and kept everything running smoothly. Any questions we had were answered quickly and clearly which made the whole process so much easier for us. We really appreciate all the help and support along the way and couldn’t be happier. Show details ·  1

something simple and well‑organised.

Thanks to her guidance, we’re entering the construction phase now and feeling confident, excited, and fully prepared, because we are building with Rawson Homes.

This review is for Gordon. Who came onto our build at the end after handover for our defects. Gordon was always professional and above all punctual. He never gave a date unless he could deliver.

**Review of Rawson Homes – Leppington Office** We began our journey with Rawson Homes in November 2024 by visiting the Leppington display homes. The quality and design of the displays were impressive and ultimately inspired our selection of the Remi22 design. Our initial experience with the sales process, however, presented a significant area… Read more ·  1

for improvement. Following our visit, engaging with the sales team to obtain a formal quote proved challenging. We encountered a consistent attitude that felt dismissive and unaccommodating, which was disappointing after a considerable effort to visit in person. As the first point of contact, a positive and professional sales experience is crucial for client confidence, and we found this stage difficult to navigate.

Fortunately, our experience improved markedly once we progressed. The initial soil analysis and subsequent drafting of plans were handled efficiently, providing a realistic and updated price based on their findings. Our case was then transferred to the wider Rawson office, where we were assigned to Mary-Anne. Her service was exceptional. She provided thorough explanations, listened attentively to our needs, and restored our confidence in the process. We are very grateful for her outstanding support.

We signed the contract in March 2025 and were extremely pleased to secure a $50,000 discount. Even after incorporating approximately $50,000 in upgrades, Rawson’s overall pricing remained highly competitive and unmatched by other builders we consulted.

After signing, Mary-Anne clearly outlined the construction timeline and process. A key piece of advice for future clients is that **patience during the pre-construction planning phase is essential**. While the preparatory work took time, it ultimately paid dividends by ensuring a smoother construction period. We also recommend carefully considering all upgrade choices before council approval, as changes afterward are difficult to implement.

Construction commenced with the slab poured in late July 2025, and we are now in the final stages. Overall, our experience has been very positive. What distinguishes Rawson Homes is their established office structure and the accountability of their staff. Once past the initial sales stage, the team demonstrated strong responsibility and professionalism in their respective roles, leading to a well-executed build.
