Hi I have no idea about the home security system. With a house of 27 sq, can anyone recommend how many sensors, internal and external sirens I need to install at least? Thanks guys!!

Yes, you need to ask your builder to instal a batten for a future light fitting. They'll stick a globe in it and add a Chinaman's hat.... but you can then get an electrician to instal the fitting you want after handover. We had three battens added above our bench, and we managed to find DIY single ...

Do we suppose to have electrical appointment with PD? We have done colour appointment and tender appointment but PD didn't mention about the electrical appointment with us. Is it supposed to be for Prestige houses and not Lifestyle? We have added some lightings and powerpoints but we need some advic...

Hi If we want to install a light pendant above the island bench in our kitchen shown like below: http://www.inspiredbylight.co.uk/images/medium/bsb368331710_medium.jpg do we need to ask our builder to add a normal light batten holder? Do they have a specific name for this kind of light fitting?

Hi, We would like to buy those home theatre system and projector by our own. If we just want to have the cabling, do anyone know how much it would be around for a room with size 3800mm x 4600mm? We would plan to have 5.1 theatre system. PS. As our house hasn't been built yet, should we do the cablin...

Onebuild, I think where you've put the internal access door is where the fridge goes. Smile Kikin, the WIP addirion is fantastic. I'd put doors on the rumpus room, otherwise you'll have three living areas that cannot be close off from each other. Also, if you can't change your crossover, I'd pay to...

I am building with PD (the Hayman 29) it is a very similar design to the Dromana Smile We have not had our tender of any selection appointments yet but how many of those items pictured were upgrades? Hi Zerosignal, For our selection, all tiles except for the laundry one are upgrades. It would cost ...

Hi, We are going to build a house although we are still waiting for our land to be ready. Hopefully everything will be on schedule. We would like to have some comments about our floor plan and colour selection. Main colours throughout Internals Ceiling / Cornice - White Walls - Bone Skirting / Archi...

For example with my house I am going full strength on walls.. 1/4 strength on ceilings and double strength gloss on doors and woodwork. All the same colour just using the different strengths... Hi, Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Are you meaning that for example with full strength in walls, you ...

Hi, I heard something called "full-strength", "double-strength" and "half-strength" on different paintings. For example, "full strength" painting should be appied on wall, "double-strength" painting on doors and "half-strength" on ceiling. May I ask if there are anyone who know what they are meaning...

Thank you for your information. It would be helpful for me to have some sense about those numbers from projectors! :) Thanks :)

Thanks for your suggestion, Rod. As I'm not expert on AV stuffs, may I ask the difference among DLP, LCD and SXRD? I just heard from a salesperson about SXRD. It is a technology by Sony, is Sony good on projectors? Any recommendations? May I also ask what the pro and con for DLP, LCD and SXRD are?

I got some questions about the technial units of projectors. What do "lumen" actually mean for the projectors? Does that mean "much more lumen it has, much better projector it is"? What about "contrast ratio"? Is it the same case as "lumen"? Hope they are not the stupid questions :P Thanks.

I'm looking at getting a projector Two projectors i've been interested in are the Sony HW10 and the Panasonic PTAE3000. Both have had good reviews, are there any other projectors I should be looking at? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
