[/quote]Whoa. I reckon you could DIY a lot of that (if you're up to it).

What brands did they quote for?

Check out home security systems from ring, netgear (arlo), or nest.

I'm thinking of putting up ring cameras myself, and im buying a DIY wireless home alarm with sim, and will get sparky to install video intercom.

For us, Frame stage has been completed. New Home Inspections went through it and only picked up 5 defects, which is not too bad.

Also got our site cost variation today. It seems they had forgotten to do it after the slab was completed. It came in at $19,569 just a tad above our price guarantee of $19,500... seems a bit steep for an "M" class site. The foundations better be solid for generations to come!!

Good! Only 5 defects don't sound too bad at all.
Would you mind telling me how long did the frame stage take? Mine started 2 or 3 Oct (can't remember exactly), and when I visited last Sunday they only managed to build the ground floor. Windows were delivered but left on site with some bird's poo on them.

My site is 'E'

so the site cost was close to $29k.

It took about 3.5 weeks to get the frames up. Our frame start was actually delayed by about 2 weeks because Arden had double booked the framer.

$29K... ouch. $19.5k doesn't seem so bad now...

Um.. maybe I should go and look today. We're almost into 3 weeks now. I really hope there's some progress.

Dahua is good one. Maybe better than Hikvision depending on your preferences.
Does the quote include home theatre installation later on if you go for in-wall or in-ceiling route?

Hikvision are more expensive than dahua but same performance. It not include home theatre installation it is just wiring he will run from walls it is be easy to do speakers later when i want.

Yeah I would have gone for Dahua as well. I may go for wireless so looking at Ring and Netgear Arlo, but other better options may come up when my build is complete.

Just been told we have to have round downpipes because of render, easier to get behind the downpipes. Not happy! Apparently they use round ones on bespoke, anyone else find same thing?

I'm worried they won't look as good?? Maybe I'm over thinking minor details?

Hi Ezza,

I have round downpipes too - for the same reasons.

I hated them when I saw them, they looked like plastic pvc pipes.

But speaking to a plumber apparently they are better product (prob why they use them on the bespoke), more pricey and better for rain water and not likely to get jammed.

I've grown to accept them, but still think the edged ones would have looked better.

Thanks Jeeta, glad to see your still on forum! How is new house going?

yes I'm with you re: shape of downpipes, but good to know there is a benefit. I was just annoyed because they just told us not asked as and said it won't make a difference to the facade and I thought to myself you have no idea home much I have thought of every detail including gutters and down pipes!

I think it's the PVC pipes I've seen like on our old house that made me have an aversion to them, but these will be colour bond. And yes, was told same thing, that they are more expensive and used on bespoke.

Hi Ezza,

To be honest, the last week is the first time I've been on the forum since moving in.

Home is going great. Had some issues, with the major ones being fixed but some others have been added to the 90 day defect list. But all in all I love the house.

Unfortunately Will has left Arden, and they haven't given me someone else to deal with which I am a bit annoyed about!

Good luck with your build, exciting times a head.
