We are building with M and since deciding the bi-folds I wanted were too expensive it means we have a little extra for electrical I would like to get away with the whole lot for 5k. I tried to attach a plan but got an error message so have provided a link to the floorplan here it is the Broadview 26

I know I could probably get it done cheaper after handover but not knowing a good electrician and already getting several things done afterwards it is a stress I can do without so I will be getting M to install everything.
It is a 26sq house so not huge (that includes the alfresco and garage)
These are the things I THINK are most important to me but perhaps some are not so important to get done at the build stage and maybe someone could point these out.
1. Downlights - I love love love them and would love them throughout the whole house (which would mean between 30 and 35)
2. 2 additional floodlights outside
3. Fan to alfresco
4. Wiring so I can watch paytv in the MB
5. Some 2 way switches
I dont know much about fibre optic cabling or the other sorts of wiring that would be nessacery to provide high speed internet to the house. I see the word Conduit alot in the forum but have no idea what it means if I should be getting them.
I am not worried about data points etc for computer systems we have one laptop and if we are still at this house when the kids are old enough for computers they will have laptops as well.
Can anyone advise if they think the things I want are possible within a 5 k budget or will I need to cut some things out. If it is possible to add things are the other things I should be considering?
Thanks very much
