By Lara S.July 4, 2018Build a barndominium$289,600
DO NOT use this builder! He is a fraud and a crook. He ripped me off for $249,056 and left me with a huge mess of repairs needed on my unfinished house.
I asked him multiple times to fix the problems and he refused to answer my calls, texts and emails. He never even replied to the letter I sent him by certified mail.
He smooth talks you into a contract telling you he can finish your build quickly with his "best crew"(he has no crew just random guys that he hires day to day.) He will not finish your house and the work he does do will be far less than quality. He has ripped off well over a dozen people including myself. Raymond Rau also has several lawsuits against him.

Nothing but a thief and a liar. I can give you atleast 5 other people whom, as well have been ripped off for thousands. Claudia Castro, I believe ur home was the home he invited me into, to see his work. Be, ever so grateful that u were prob his first barndominium and he was looking to use yours to build his business. U are one of his very few happy customers. You got very lucky. Since I posted my ripoff report of $55000, I have been contacted by a handful of others who he has continued to do the same song and dance too. On my case, I took him to court and received a judgement. However, Ray does not put any assets in his name and he does not own a home, he rents, and moves every 6 months to a year, probably bc he's hiding or screwing over landlords as well. Do not give Ray Ray/ Rau Builders/Rustic Ranch Homes any of your money, bc he never fulfills his promises and he builds super cheap! We ended up firing Ray when we come to the property and saw that our shell was built with 2x4 instead of the 2x6 that the plans called for. When we talked over the phone he agreed to give our money back bc we were unhappy with his work and couldn't trust him while we were away and not on the job everyday to see how things were being done. A week later he sent us a email letting us know we would be getting none of our $55000 back. So, he demolished our existing barn apartment and left us with just the shell of our existing metal barndominium and took every bit of the money we gave him by saying on cash deals he gets 20% off the top, no matter how much of the job is done. So, overall we lost $55,000 and a very nice existing Rustic apartment inside. Jessica Ferguson [email protected]

Would not reccomend. He bit off more than he can chew and left house 55% done with 90% of our funds.left us high and dry with interest accruing daily at our bank until we finish this house on our own. Seemed great and trustworthy. So sad our dream turned into nightmare. It,has been 2 years since Rau started job and we are still not in our home.

This guy is a thief. He has ripped off more people then you can count on two hands. He has numerous lawsuits pending against him and possible criminal fraud charges pending. This owner Ray is a natural born liar. http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Rau-Builders/New-Braunfels-Texas/Rau-Builders-Ray-Rau-Raymond-Rau-Jeanne-Wells-Rau-RAU-BUILDERSCOMPLETE-CROOKS-BEWAR-1179345

This man is nothing but a crook, and the ones that leave a good review, all I can say is you were lucky because I promise you he has hurt more people than he’s helped! You can’t read all these reviews and think he’s a good man. He has destroyed people’s dreams and taken their hard earned money. He started our house in February 2016 and we fired him in August 2016 after the Windstorm Engineer showed up and told us our home was no way up to any code more less windstorms code. We were out a lot of money already and had to put in a lot more to have our new builder fix what that thief messed up. We were told by the new builder that Ray Rau was either a complete idiot or a con artist. I personally think he’s one of the most evil person I have ever met!
