Building Compliance & Makegoods - RAW Commercial Projects

Lachlan “Chip” Huddy

The TL;DR version for the time-compressed: RAW Commercial are the best tradespeople in any field that we’ve ever worked with. I’d give them 6 stars if I could but Google’s cheap like that. Now for the finer points: Communication Brilliant. From initial consult, through proposal, design, squaring things with body corp, construction, hand-off and post-build service, RAW are second to none. Sandy Hunter (Client Relations Manager), Ryan Bosua (Precon Manager), and Richard Wiseman (Managing Director) are joys to deal with. At no point were we out of the loop. At no point were we uncertain about where things were at, what had been agreed upon, or what was coming up. The level of we’ve-got-this-and-you-don’t-have-to-worry that RAW provides is of a standard that I didn’t think was still being practised in any industry. Design Gorgeous. Take a look at the photos. In-house designer Alex Machado is an aesthetic sorceress. Willing and able to work with our ideas, deeply capable in bringing her own, and a deft hand at steering clients away from bad design decisions. Construction Superb quality, briskly implemented, with all of the inevitable hiccups that arise from any build communicated well, handled diligently, and solved in record time. Our project manager Chris Crombie was (and remains) an absolute asset. If you want a stoic, get-it-done tradie who cares deeply about your build before, during and after, Chris is your man. Hand-off Bang on time. What else do you need to know? Post-hand-off Our building has some quirks (not RAW’s fault) that created some minor hiccups post-hand-off, and Chris handled them like the pro he is. There’s no stress when you deal with RAW, because at every step of the way they show you they’ve got it covered. In closing We’ll build again, and there is no other contractor we’d dream of using besides RAW. That simple- which is how the build will feel if you go with them. Simple, easy, superb. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

RAW Commercial have provided us with the best tailored customer service around. I could not praise their responsiveness, timeliness and craftmanship more. Plus, their pricing was very competitive. Leading up to our office fit-out decision, I contacted 4+ companies. While the others were reasonably responsive to begin with, it somewhat eased off as we went deeper into our negotiations. I felt the others did not listen to us as a business and the design ideas we had in mind. RAW Commercial’s consultation process was thorough and nothing seemed too much trouble for them. They happily accommodated our frequent design changes and their communication was second to none. RAW Commercial delivered on their promise (design and timeline) and did so with integrity, professionalism, and great people skills (from all their staff). Ryan and Chris (our main POCs) were fantastic, and their designer Henna has an amazing eye for colour and design. From a business owner’s perspective, I can tell that Richard cares about his team and customers alike which is a natural recipe for success in my opinion. I would not hesitate to use them again in the future.

A huge thank you to the whole team at Raw Commercial for our accounting practice fitout. From design, to pricing and managing the project, the whole process and end result exceeded our expectations. They have created space that our staff as well as clients will enjoy! Team @ Xperion - Proud to be boring accountants

My husband and I couldn’t be more impressed with the team from Raw. From start to finish, the entire team put in 100% effort. My cosmetic clinic was complete in 4 weeks, and you can tell the utmost care and professionalism went into the build. Thank you so so much. We will definitely be using Raw for any future commercial fit outs.

RAW Commercial were an absolute pleasure to work with on our new fitout. From the very first meeting, RAW were fully committed to our business, and this commitment flowed from the Director of RAW right through to our Site Manager and the subcontractors on site. This meant that we received exactly what we wanted, within budget, on time, and any issues along the way were resolved quickly and professionally, with excellent communication at all times. I cannot recommend RAW highly enough to anyone requiring a new fitout or renovation of existing premises.

The team at RAW Commercial Projects have been an absolute dream to work with. From the design stage and right through to handover and beyond, they have been extremely professional, reliable and most importantly, responsive. They have created a functional space that exceeded our expectations and is completely in line with our original vision. We would not hesitate to use RAW Commercial Projects again and will recommend them for years to come. Richard, Chris, Ryan, Alex and the team went above and beyond for our project and we look forward to working with them again in future.

We used RAW Commercial for renovations and fit out for our medical specialist suites in late 2020 and early 2021. The team were professional and did an excellent job in a short time. I would recommend RAW and would happily use them again.

Cathy Roberts

The team at RAW Commercial Projects have delivered again for us. We have now used their services three times for refit and renovations. Each time they have listened to our brief, offered suggestions, and come up with a plan to suit our needs. They go beyond expectations to fit in with our timeframe and have always completed on time. The end product looks fantastic but importantly is functional. I would highly recommend their services to those looking to deal with a professional and reliable team. Thank you Richard, Darren and Chris, you have an amazing team from management to your contractors and designers.

RAW have just completed a commercial office fit out for us and the result is amazing. They developed the proposal, managed the approvals and completed the job on time and on budget. Easiest project I've ever managed. Phil at DSI Underground Narangba
