Re: Building Emporio ER432 with MainVue 37Aug 22, 2012 11:25 am Wondering if how hard "maintenance wise" to have downlights on the roof eaves to brighten up the top half of the house at front ... We have plenty of lights on the bottom half of the house (wall mounted at front porch and downlights in portico ceiling and above garage door). Thinking if the top half is lack of light (mainly for display purpose)... Re: Building Emporio ER432 with MainVue 38Aug 22, 2012 2:25 pm So disappointed ... demolition is not happening next week due to gas abolishment issue. The application form has wrong meter no. info and AGL said they could not get in touch with the agent number written on the form therefore they could not process and Vic Wide Demo doesn't know about it having any issue. Only found out by my gut-feeling that there may be some issue as i did not receive the receipt of job being booked like i did with Electricitiy Service Abolishment. I rang Vic Wide Demo asking them verify with AGL and my gut-feeling was true !!! It's been one month waiting .. now looking at possibly another month of waiting !! Re: Building Emporio ER432 with MainVue..concerns..unknown c 39Aug 25, 2012 12:16 pm Hi ttva - they have great displays, but I am concern with the skimpy quote that i get upfront! I had another builder with full costings and even with the actual drawings of house that i am going to build upfront - no hiding even if they seem high. On the contrary with Mainvue, liked their wet areas and kitchen - but the kitchen & pantry as displayed appears to cost alot. Nevertheless, I asked for a quote and it was skimpy!. I was told I won't even get a copy of my plans till contract and alot of cost not known till contract and by then I would have been locked in with thousands which is not refundable at all!. Great if you could share your experience with pricing difference from quote to contract and also which consultant you were dealing with as I won't mind drive all the way if he/she is good! Re: Building Emporio ER432 with MainVue 40Aug 26, 2012 7:47 pm Hi bud, In my experience, I find both sale reps from Epping and S.C were really good. They do have dIfferent pros and cons. One can offer you things that others do not unless requested. S.C is very prompt with initial quotes and response. I was quIte Impressed. Lucky we have quotes from both office and it became really useful. We didn't have any issue with standard drawings provided during quotations. Their kitchen as standard is already an upgrade to other builders. Yes, as displayed is a bit over the top with cost especially the pantry. Our initial quote was about $20k difference as we didn't account for various upgrades with colour selection and some electrical components.
