LEDs 6w from M was $147ea, which would be terrible, so i doubt they went with LEDs for mid range lighting Initial Deposit 28/09/2012 // Prelim Contract Signed 25/11/2012 Selections 21/1/2013 to 23/1/2013 // Contract Signed 22/2/2013 Site Start 21/5/2013 // Slabbed 30/5/2013 Re: Building in Richmond SA - Selections Done 24/9/12 73Oct 24, 2012 7:58 pm M must have different prices state to state as our LEDs are 11w and were $150 each installed. Yeah at 6w not worth it. Re: Building in Richmond SA - Selections Done 24/9/12 74Oct 24, 2012 9:27 pm We went with the Project LED at $143.75 supplied and installed. Which as I said was mid-range the one above that was the Neo LED at $183.80 supplied and installed and the one below was a fluro downlight at $118 supplied and installed. I can't remember the wattage off the top of my head but there wasn't much difference in the project and the Neo LED, I think one was 10w and the other 12w ... But I can't say for sure.

Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ We received the contract on Friday just like they advised and had the weekend to go over everything. On the working drawings there where just a few notes that hadn't been removed from past changes and the tile height in the bathrooms hadn't been adjusted to suit our upgrades at Beaumont's. In the actual contract there where just a few clarifications that we needed to go through, for example out ground storm water is included in the final pricing but on the site plan it notes that these are for us to do after handover. The biggest thing we had to discuss was the site works as council has asked that we put in extra soil, originally the plan was to do a 50/50 cut and fill then have a sump pump in the backyard for extra drainage. But our neighbour has done a lot of extra fill so we are looking at matching him to make the blocks even, this way we wont need to worry about retaining walls and sump pumps etc. Metircon are going to send someone out to the block this week to investigate the best course of action, and the most cost effective for us. We should have all the variations discussed yesterday sent out to us early next week and we've arranged an appointment with the bank now that we have our bank pack so we can get the ball rolling on the finance end. Hopefully ... fingers crossed and all going well ... they are hoping to be on site in Dec and have the slab down before they break on the 16th Dec!

We are a weekend away from choosing M, any last minute tips to see if they will throw in a sweetener to get our signature Good luck tomorrow, be interested to hear your thoughts once the document is received and your satisfaction with the particulars aligning with your expectations Hey Mia We where really happy with how everything was handled throughout the meeting. All notes where documented and signed off on by both parties and all the paperwork was given to us before hand so there weren't any surprises on the day! I must admit we've been very happy with how M have gone through everything and the process has been rather painless (unlike our past experience with another builder). So if they continue to be this transparent and easy to communicate with through the build we'll be very happy.

It also meant we didn't need to add to the neighbours retaining wall height because we didn't cut into the soil. It didn't cost us any more either as the builder was able to absorb the cost somehow and we haven't had any soil to remove https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=43937&start=0 Bought a block in Golden Grove - Jan 2011 Finally finished our design, Mar 2012, *yay* Signed with ADH council consent June 12 Re: Building in Richmond SA - Selections Done 24/9/12 79Nov 02, 2012 3:49 pm exciting times!. we are still waiting on our site works to come back, three calls to the sales guy and a email, still have not heard Initial Deposit 28/09/2012 // Prelim Contract Signed 25/11/2012 Selections 21/1/2013 to 23/1/2013 // Contract Signed 22/2/2013 Site Start 21/5/2013 // Slabbed 30/5/2013 Re: Building in Richmond SA - Selections Done 24/9/12 80Nov 13, 2012 9:15 pm Heya Jezzabelle How things moving along now the Contract is on hand, hope you are having success with Council getting to your plans for Development Approval so siteworks commence Dec as planned.
