Pre-Start Costs - Homegroup WA

Afternoon All
I have been having a look through trying to find costs for recent prestart costs (ie last 12 months) with Homegroup WA. We have our prestart at the end of the month and wanting bit of an idea of what we might be up for.
Some of the extra's we will probably look at:
- Extra double power points
- Extra tiling in ensuite
- Extra tiling in scullery
- Plumbing for water for fridge
- If anyone has had any smart wiring put into the house for pay tv, internet, speakers integrated into ceiling and alfresco, for security system.
- Upgrades of tapware from silver to matt black.
- Upgrade of underlay for carpets
- Upgrade for continuous hot water

And any other upgrades that you think we might need.

Thanks in advance :-)

Allow $60 for a DGPO. Our builder charges $43, but I have seen them as high as $80. We are not with HGWA...

We paid $300 to upgrade to the Top Level Carpet Underlay

Hi we had our prestart Dec 2017 and we were emailed this for electrical additions, with tiling depends on what you’re after full height with their standard tiles in bathrooms were quoted between 3-4K so we went 1m high instead which was $200,
I’m not sure about underlay but I know a few others on this forum last year upgraded their underlay and it was a couple hundred.

hi i have been following this group for a while and will have my pre start booked soon (just completed my tile and laminate selection) im very confused as to what is included and what is not, we have been told a few things were standard inclusions and later found out they weren't

are matte black taps and shower rails etc part of the standard HG range? we were told they were and only the black light switches were extra. its hard to budget for pre start when things keep popping up.... thanks in advance for any help
