I have steered clear completely from downlights. I'm glad you did very well choosing Vinyl planks. Sounds like you have kept your costs down. Did you have a fixed site cost with your builder? How many times did you have independent inspections done. They can be very expensive.
Yes, due to the amount I spent on building I've had to spend as little as possible on the floor / other items.
Site costs were included, I have a fixed build price including the driveway in a concrete aggregate, there have been no changes to the price except my variations to add more things
I've used Darbecca / QAI reporting for 1 inspection, around $450/500 if you pay in advance/on the day.
I missed one of the planned inspections because the plaster was getting done before the bricks so the inspection didn't seem that it would add a lot of value.
The next inspection will be the handover inspection in 4 weeks.
Also, the rebel brick on the front of the house is now gone. The acid cleaning should happen next week...
