Install extras with electrician on-site (Brighton Homes)Building A New House

Oct 20, 2020 3:56 pm

We have chosen to build a 2-storey house in QLD with Brighton Homes. I am looking for feedback when making Electrical selections. Does the electrician usually ask the owners on-site if they would like to install other electrical devices and/or products in the home? We would like to minimise our elec...

Re: Qld Driveway Quote - too high?Paving & Concreting

Oct 27, 2015 10:38 am

That's interesting, because other quotes I have received are less than $6000, and some others less than $5000. I posted this because I wanted to be sure that is is REALLY the going rate. I don't want to pay $2,000 less only to find out that I got fooled.

Qld Driveway Quote - too high?Paving & Concreting

Oct 24, 2015 10:47 pm

I recently got a quote for driveway and alfresco area in Springfield Lakes. See attached image. I'm wondering what experienced people might think the quote ought to be. Spoiler alert! The real quote price is : < $8281 > http://s3.postimg.org/efuzzpr0j/IMG_20151024_223714.jpg img

I should have said Opticomm not actual NBN. My understanding is a TV point was *only* needed if a TV antenna was going to be installed on the roof.

Hi. Quick post about TV points in the house. My wife and I are thinking about not including one in the house as we will be using NBN for our Free-to-Air TV. Any thoughts on that? Should we really get a TV point installed?

My guess and my comment of little value is that they don't need many accidents to cause them to change this policy. They don't have to wait till it reaches 20% or anything

Fellow coral builders... A question about the stone benches. We have noticed in most of the display homes that the 40mm and 60mm stone benches are actually multiple pieces stacked on top of each other. If I get 40mm for example, will it be a single piece 40mm thick or do they always stack 2x 20mm? ...

They are stacked. And only around the perimeter, not the entire area of the bench top. But you won't notice. That way i...

I'm reading through my contracts and about to sign in a few days. I came across a part that seems to permit me to bring my own tradie on site during construction (before practical completion). Has anyone here done this successfully with Coral Homes? I'm thinking of bringing in an electrician to inst...

Coming along nicely. Been watching this thread for updates. Do you think one can negotiate with the data guy for some extra data points for a good price??? We added two (total three) data points around the house. I work in IT.

Don't look at the stickers which are on the tiles. You need to look at the colour of the stickers on the shelf on which the tile rests. That is the true "class" of the tile.
