My fiancé is a sparky! He's doing the entire electrical on our build. He can also do air-con.
If you're interested I can ask him if he'd like a bit of extra work?
What were you looking at getting done?

Basically want to get Clarendon's sparky to do what's needed and no more. They charge waaaay too much to let them do it all.

Basically want to get Clarendon's sparky to do what's needed and no more. They charge waaaay too much to let them do it all. They sure do, we took electrical out of our contract and saved 10k. And that was just a very BASIC electrical plan (i.e not down lights, 1 power point per room etc) And as we wont be paying for labour, im sure our electrical bill will come in less than half of that! We have done up our own electrical plan with all the bells and whistles LOL. If your interested let me know and i will ask for you.

Had I known I would have paid extra to add them in Re: Build Threads & Blogs for The Great South East (QLD) 96May 19, 2015 9:06 pm Nic and Shell 1 Apparently there not required in single story main bathrooms either with bathtubs in them Interesting, I would have thought it mandatory to have it in those wet areas. Anyway, my main bathroom and ensuite have them, and sort of wish I had've got one in my laundry as well. Owner Building at Jimboomba Woods in Logan City Qld.

Re: Build Threads & Blogs for The Great South East (QLD) 98May 22, 2015 7:18 am Hey SEQers, a friend of mine building with Burbank (not on the forum) had her PCI yesterday and engaged Phil from K-Spec to do the inspection with them. Both she and her SS were blown away by Phil's thoroughness and professionalism. The appointment was at 2pm and they got the report late in the afternoon. I know it sounds like I keep plugging them but its only because they have been doing a great job Jen (& Dave) Plantation Bronte, Ormeau Ridge, Gold Coast QLD 12/03/2015 - Commencement... 26/08/2015 - Handover! viewtopic.php?f=31&t=76446 Re: Build Threads & Blogs for The Great South East (QLD) 99May 22, 2015 9:27 am Even with my dad being a builder, I will be using Phil Cheers, Paul (& Lisa) Parkhill 36 by ClarendonHomes in Coomera Retreat H1 Build Thread And Blog Building Blogs List - Go Ahead And Add Yours!!

I know it sounds like I keep plugging them but its only because they have been doing a great job i'm still in two minds whether to use him (or anyone) for the PCI.. i was really expecting it to be more about structural and things like that, where it just seems like its only cosmetic things they look for not even going onto or in the roof from what the office ladt said and not sure the $500 is worth it if MrsBee and I can pick all that sort of stuff up? http://kspec.com.au/wp-content/uploads/ ... ionfaq.pdf Keen to hear from people in the area who have got KDRB done on whom they got the build from?
