Thanks ill have a look  Ok i might have to mention it to my sc as youd imagine they would have to cut a hole in the stone.. _________________________ Building the Noosa 26 with Coral Homes https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80794 20 Oct 2015 780 QLD Gold Member Re: Coral Homes general build thread 3763Mar 22, 2016 1:13 pm Firstbuild92 FinnsmammaYou also have to factor in cutting the stone. We had to get willis bros out to cut and it was a pai ful and messy job. I didn't even think about the fact they had to cut the stone. It might just be easier to get one under the cupboard or something.

My dad who's doing all our electrical want to get recessed led lighting??? But has said he can swap the battens but it might leave holes etc so I would rather swap them at our electrical appointment  16 Mar 2015 189 QLD Bronze Member Re: Coral Homes general build thread 3766Mar 22, 2016 4:26 pm BTTTBSo electrical question, what is the price to swap the batten for something else??? My dad who's doing all our electrical want to get recessed led lighting??? But has said he can swap the battens but it might leave holes etc so I would rather swap them at our electrical appointment We did owner supplied LED lighting. Coral wanted to charge something silly like $145 per light or something and it was just a Chinese LED. We were going to do the batten and swap out later but the Clipsal guy pointed out we are then paying $66 for the batten just to throw it out and then pay for your own light plus own installer. An Owner supplied light only cost $78 installation(expensive installation costs) + cost of the light We got out BrightGreen LED downlights for $70, Coral installed for $78 so it cost $8 more to get a high end brand of LED light installed. If you go for a cheaper LED light(some are as low as $9) you can save some money there. 16 Mar 2015 189 QLD Bronze Member Re: Coral Homes general build thread 3768Mar 22, 2016 4:39 pm BTTTBYeah that makes sense..... So do they take the $66 off the $78 for the ones included? My dad is so shocked they charge that much just for a batten!!! No, so in your plan you will assigned a single batten per room and that is usually included in the base price of the house, remove it and you don't get $66 credit as it's included in the base price which sucks. Want to add a 2nd batten, then it's $66 per batten. We just replaced all the batten lights with owner supplied lights, paid the extra $78 per light and put our own LED and Oyster lights in. 06 Sep 2014 476 NSW Gold Member Re: Coral Homes general build thread 3769Mar 22, 2016 6:30 pm Just want to put something positive out there.

We're ready for good luck and a speedy build! Our variation caused by having to meet Council's energy requirements should be finished tomorrow. Council is just waiting for it and then we'll have approval. Hopefully then a start date. Easter will make it a little later but nearly there. Can't wait!
