Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 28, 2014 2:30 pm Hi All! So, back again 5 years later...and my partner and I are looking to build the Soho 4 in Ecco Ripley with Plantation Homes. Has anyone ever removed painting or electricals from the contract with their builder? And if so, what kind of price deduction did you recieve? My father in law is a painter and has offered to paint our home (in exchange for beer and eternal love, haha) and my brother is an electrician and may be willing to do this for us. Any other advise on building with Plantation is welcomed!!

How much would you be omitting out of the contract. I only ask because if you plan on doing majority of the work later then your sparky is going to have a hard time getting all the cables in the right areas (especially in the kitchen). And if you are expecting that he will be able to gain access to the site during construction to place his cables then he will have to take on the whole electrical project I'm pretty sure. You talk about deletions, are they variations or PS and PC adjustments? pleas list them 1 17201 How do you remove one of these ceiling air con vents?
