There are home invasion reports all the time in the news. In the complexities of building a new home, sometimes its easy to downplay or overlook the needs and requirements for a proper home security system. It will be too late to act when something happens. Prevention is always better than cure. We ...

Hello Sinbox, thank-you very much for your kind offer. I have their complete set of product brochures and price lists. The challenge is however deciding what you need for each of the home needs and also future-proofing it. Maybe I will PM you soon.

Independent suppliers in the market on lighting, home entertainment, home automation, home security and home networking seem to offer a much wider and deeper level of expertise and se...

Hello guys, I am building a house with PD. I am starting from scratch. I have nothing invested except a 5.1 Sony DVD player and speaker system but I am planning to go 7.1. My tender is coming and I have to get my bearings right on a future-proof electrical plan with everything in. Lights, GPO, inter...

If only our volume builders provided these information, the build process would be so much more enjoyable don't you think? I think a lot of the time it's just us as customers not asking the question.

They have quoted me a seperate price for each stage and I have asked them to give me a total package price. Question1: Are they some sort of an expert for Waldorf Grange 50 ho...

Sometimes what the builders promise with their marketing messages and what you really see or get on the ground is worlds apart. And all this with your money. Look around and the forum is filled with screaming cust...
