How are they in general? we are looking to add Pendant lights, Ceiling fans, TV Antenna and outdoor lights. How do they charge if we buy the materials for them? Any suggestions pls. Cheers. Hi ak87, We were quoted $250 for supply and installation per fan $100 per pendant light (choice of any you see in the display homes) $75 per up/down external lights and as mentioned above $45 per extra powerpoint Hi shon-aa, does this mean the prices will be included on the NLH contract or we pay them directly? We pay them directly to jade electric, not included in tender. If you try to add those items in tender NLH will put their margins and cost will be more. For me I will be making fans points and pendent points ready and after handover installation with outside sparky. That way you can always shop around better deal and what you want. Like for me I will be putting DC fans and LED pendent.

Re: New Living Homes 629Jun 19, 2017 6:46 pm ak87 Thanks sudu and shon-aa. Shon-aa, $250 for supply and installation per fan - Are they better quality Fans? $100 per pendant light (choice of any you see in the display homes) - I guess they are not LED pendant lights. $75 per up/down external lights - Where you given any choices? How about Twin LED Sensor Spotlight? For TV, Antenna, Data points they advised me to contact sentinel alarms. We supplied our own pendants and they fitted them for us. Can't remember what they charged Re: New Living Homes 630Jun 21, 2017 10:13 am Just want to share one experience with you guys to help making decision incomparison with NLH. One of my friend been to colour selection yesterday who is building with EBH. His reaction was they trap customers after contract sign up. 100s options for upgrade and 2/3 options for standard. The upgrades prices are really high too. For example they got only 2 colour choices kitchen benchtop in standard, minimum price to upgrade undermount sink is $900 and to upgrade the internal door to next level is $280 each. Isnt it too much! You guys have any idea about NLH in this regard? Re: New Living Homes 632Jun 21, 2017 8:03 pm shon-aa ak87 Thanks sudu and shon-aa.

The up/down external lights were the only option they gave us. But you can always supply your own for the electrician to install, for any of these items which may not work our cheaper but you will probably get nicer/better quality things. We need to ask again about the fans because we asked about internal and external and we were given the same price for each. We wanted a nice external ceiling fan (timber or wicker style) so we may need to supply this ourselves. Fans Quote.

What does "Extra over light point" mean? Re: New Living Homes 637Jun 23, 2017 2:12 pm Just got confirmation from Jade Electricals. The charge is for installing on light point. if there is no light point then add below cost ($27.50)
