Hi everyone
Has anyone upgraded to have drain grooves added to their caesarstone kitchen bench tops?
We're thinking of making an adjustment to our addenda and adding it in.
Does anyone know the cost to upgrade?
Thanks in advance!!

The price sheet is based on Sep last year. So not sure if there might be cost update, but the cost would be along this line. I am not sure how to attach a pdf in here. Double Power point (C2000 SERIES) : $46.38 Single Power point (C2000 SERIES) : $43.18 Double GPO to Island Bench (placement restrictions apply) : $95.96 XL-LED Low Profile Diffused Flush Downlight Kits 12W White - Warm White/cool : $137.98 XL-LED Low Profile Diffused Flush Downlight Kits 12W Polished Chrome - Warm/cool White : $139.58 TV Point : $60.77 Foxtel Point/Pay TV Point : $143.94 Phone Point (not applicable to Fibre areas) : $95.96 Cat6 Data Point : $95.96 Hope this helps. Great! Thanks so much, it does help. Any mention of light switches on there by any chance? Re: Boutique Homes 2238May 23, 2016 8:11 pm our_new_digs Great! Thanks so much, it does help. Any mention of light switches on there by any chance? These are the switch prices mentioned in there. Door Bell 255.90$ Dimmer (price per circuit) 83.16$ 2 way switch 52.78$ 3 way switch 111.95$ Re: Boutique Homes 2239May 23, 2016 8:12 pm For anyone interested here is a copy of our electrical plan. We are building a modified St Tropez 28. Yes, we went over the top. More information in our blog. http://tropezienadventure.blogspot.com.au/ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ 51 LED 12W cool light down-lights. We could have gotten away with 30 or less however really wanted a bright house. We also upgraded the fittings so they will look a lot better and the globes are also replaceable instead of having to replace the whole fitting. We spent aover $7k on this and it was nearly half our electrical spend. 44 double power points throughout the home. I went in with a plan already drawn up showing where I think we might need or place lamps or other powered items. In the end I would rather a power point I don't use than have the trouble of a space where I should have placed one. We added 2 under cupboard down-lights to the overhead cabinets in the kitchen. We have 2 feature up/down lights on the front facade either side of the porch. Our porch light is linked to a sensor so it turns on as people step onto the porch. As we have a third garage we have 2 sensor flood lights covering the driveway. We have 3 more on each side of the house and 1 on the back facing the yard. We added 3 dimmer switch locations throughout the home. Main Bedroom, Living and Alfresco We have the provision for 3 pendant lights above the kitchen island and 1 in the dining room. Just have to choose the lights now. We added 2 power points either side of the main bedroom bed position which have USB charger points already included. This way we have a more slimline way to charge our phones 2 wall mounted feature lights to be installed either side of the ensuite mirror. We upgrade our smoke detectors to a more slimline look. We opted for a wired door bell so we don't have to worry about batteries in the future. We added a sound and entertainment package which includes wall mounted TV, Data, PayTV and HDMI all running to a plate behind where our TVs will be wall mounted. They are recessed into the wall. We have this in the Theater and Living room walls. We added a Honeywell Alarm system which has 3 motion sensor points. The benefit with the Honeywell system is that in the future we can add home automation in the future. This would include remote powering on and off of lights in connection with the alarm being triggered or just if we want to turn them on. Controlling appliances or cooling from your smart phone etc. We have added the provision for two fans in the alfresco to be installed after handover. We also added 3 ceiling mounted points in the alfresco. One for our Sonos speaker to play music outside and two for roof mounted heating which will heat the space in winter (similar to what you would see in a Cafe). We also added TV and Data plates to be installed in the alfresco so we can really create the indoor/outdoor area we are looking for. We added extra power and the provision for light switches to be available for use with the pool. This included upgrade power box inside the garage to allow for extra circuits to be connected to the home without having to adjust anything in the future. Lastly, after looking at our electrical plan we have decided to upgrade our home to 3 phase power. This will ensure that the pool, cooling and lighting will all run at the same time with no issues, with room to spare. In the end we came in at a total of $19,000. After the allowances came off we ended up at $13,000. $3,000 more than I wanted to spend however we still left happy.

I've read a few people have included a "provision for a pendant". Does "provisioning" mean that a power point is placed in the roof and an additional button is added to the switch? We will be purchasing and installing a number of pendants following hand over (won't be purchasing them through Beacon through Boutique). Or does provisioning a pendant simply mean that the customer will be having Boutique install a pendant but they are yet to choose the style?
