Construction Procedure

Stage 1.

You will be introduced to your Site Manager, who will be your point of contact throughout the building process. Our Site Managers are restricted to a small number of homes so as to ensure that quality of care is utmost in every Rawson home.

The site is prepared and pegged out ready for the application of the slab. Preparation of the site includes excavation, piering, laying of internal drains and finally the pouring of the concrete slab.

Slab stage has now been achieved.

Your Site Manager is available for you to contact to keep you up to date on the progress of your home. If you wish to visit the site during construction you will need to contact the Site Manager to arrange an onsite visit, just to ensure the site is safe to visit at that time.
