So exciting for you Ok, costings:- Single powerpoint - $50 Double powerpoint - $59, so if you're going for electrical, it's a no brainier to get doubles! I asked about downlights, and the response was basically it's super expensive and you'd be better off doing it afterwards. Batten fix light fittings are $43 each if you're interested. I've actually found some awesome batten fix pendants that I like so I added 2 over the kitchen island. TV point - $90, and it's no charge to have it raised to 1400mm. I added one to the master bedroom. My electrical additions came to about $450 all up, so once I factored in getting a sparky out and the labour involved, it actually made sense for me to just have it done by HBC. Plus, then it's all ready and waiting for me! The only thing HBC couldn't do was a HDMI wall plate (so I can connect a wall mounted TV to a BluRay player etc. without having cords running down the wall), but since that doesn't require any wiring, just holes in the wall I can easily get that done myself. Other upgrades I did - Caesarstone benches to the kitchen, overhead cupboards in the kitchen, and upgraded to Cat 2 carpet. It feels soooooooo much nicer, and with a cat with a penchant for ripping up loop pile carpet it had to be done The kitchen and landscaping deals are unfortunately over Hope that gives you a bit of an idea guys!

My take on this is, that they would be breaking the law denying access to a homeowner in Victoria, or their agent from having… 1 9280 |
