A platform not only to exchange building experience but also to meet our future neighbour. LOL Keep the sharing going guys! I really love to hear from my builder emailing me tomorrow that the shire has approved this and that.

Also building in Wellard, way down past the train station though just off Leda Bvld Re: Wellard WA Build with Dreamstart Homes 11Jan 28, 2015 10:40 pm The timeline is very detailed and well described! I'll be following your thread. Timeline: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76782 Re: Wellard WA Build with Dreamstart Homes 12Jan 29, 2015 1:38 pm === Update === - Yesterday, I got my finance approved! Going with Keystart to reduce massive out-of-packet payment for deposit. - Yesterday, I signed my Final Drawing. Happy with everything, although I reckon I could do with another 2 to 3 conduit for future use & the LED .... sigh... but there is $350 admin fee for EACH variation ... i will pass. Now waiting for settlement of land & all these approval to come. Finger cross! Really hope to see construction begin asap hence I could have more photo to share. I have not share my house plan & my variation price list yet, I will do so soon.

If you can do future wiring in the particular rooms using the gap in the external cavity wall maybe don't worry. If you need conduits or cabling in internal walls, or want to run internal electrical wiring down the wall to light switches in conduits (maybe to allow for future fan installs or exhausts or different lighting and the like), it might be worth your while progressing a radiation for $350. Given lighting is a way off is suggest you have time to sit and look over your plans again, wait for slab down and then approach it.

But the document says $350 for EACH Variation. To me it feels like: - add conduit at this wall = $350 + conduit cost - add extra overhead shelves = another $350 + extra shevles cost or is it not calculated this way?

Oh that's good to know. Yeah DS & CL is same family, that's right. So i can see that your slab is down in Dec meaning your construction has begun. And they still accept variations. Hmm.... another that puts off my intention to raise variation is to avoid delaying the entire process. I just want my construction to begin asap. Since you did your variation while they building the house, guess I will do the same. Before they seal/plaster the wall, oh yeah i wanna put extra conduit here and there. Thanks Beazley for the information.

So get those conduits. Timeline: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76782 Re: Wellard WA Build with Dreamstart Homes 19Jan 29, 2015 6:44 pm Beazley77 Don't assume a variation is going to delay progress. Get in early. My variation isn't holding up progress. I agree with Sophia. Affirmative! Thanks for the advice guys!

That is from an electrical contractor south of river. You should consider junction boxes instead of actually downlights and leave it for after hand over. That's what I'm doing. Can I ask the details of your contractor please? I was quoted $120 per light.
