Thanks for your input @Splashers. Your last paragraph is exactly my main argument to my Builder, that with one RPZD valve on the mains which supplies the whole house, doesn't protect my house! I've requested Builder to give me a separate supply feed (through a RPZD valve) for the Capped Water Point...
Just fyi, there are backflow prevention valves in electronic seats as safety measures. even the basic ones you can find...

I didn't proceed with the proposal from builder as it seemed unreasonable the dumbest part was builder had their own line of toilet suite with built in automatic bidet seats that did not require any such rpzd value solution. It's just that they quoted premium price for the upgrade from standard. Whe...

Hello everyone, TLDR version: New CSC assigned to our job has little to no response. Not attending the phone, not returning calls, not replying to emails, not forwarding enquiries to consultants, basically not doing the 'coordinator' part of her job description and it's delaying us to finalise the v...

My builder tried this on with me. I spoke to the electronic bidet supplier and they provided me with documentation verifying that their product meets the relevant Australian standards and does not require an RPZD. I gave this to the builder and they relented, so I now only need to pay for the fresh...
Thank you, can you PM me your supplier if possible? I also tried the same through their installation guidelines documen...

final change is I relocated an existing fresh water garden tap right behind where the toilet would be. It did not incur any costs as it’s relocation. As for other changes required, such as provisioning, the builder would not do it without following their own ridiculous way, so I’ll have to get it d...

Can't you just branch off existing tap? or does your feed direct into cistern from behind? Maybe just have builder supply & install unit? I wanted one but found out after doing research none would suit the toilet suite we selected, If I had my time again I would go for a whole Toto toilet suite...
Thank you for your reply. Well, there is no nearby pipe and the toilet suite itself is a recycle point and what I need ...

Hey all, I’m building a new house, it’s still at contract stage and I need to install a capped water point inside ensuite next to the toilet suite for a future upgrade (yes for an automatic toilet seat, because they’re awesome). When I asked the builder quoted an insane amount ($5,000). The list of ...

I would suggest as follows. Speak to an electrician, show them your plan and ask for a quote to put LEDS in the whole house where you want. We had LEDs installed in the whole house by M and the ones that are on dimmers have a flickering issue. Really annoying so they’ll have to fix that. I would sa...
Thanks alot for sharing your experience with M. Your floorboards looks stunning and congratulations on your build, it's...

the builder wont accept to install your cable because then they will have to accept responsibility for any faults that are caused by your cable (fire for example). The cables they use are certified for them and whatever faults are handled with their supplier. It’s simply a matter of taking responsib...
