Thanks, do you know what the usually charge for alarm system, I done it myself on my last build as they let me do it during build but I know Mac jones won’t.


We just got the keys to our MJH just before Christmas here in the Hunter Valley.. Electrical was the one area we pulled back on, we found the prices were so much higher than what it would cost us to do it after the fact. We only included items that would be difficult or costly to do later on, we also positioned our batten fix lights where we intended on placing downlights. I purchased 60 Robus 9W downlights form a local electrical supplier for $11.50 each that are equivalent to the Clipsal ones that MJH offer as well as a heap of quick connects and a roll of wire, I think it cost around $800 all up. Since Christmas I have set out and installed all of the downlight into the ceiling ready for the electrician to wire up, we were able to find a licensed electrician that was happy to work on an hourly rate & have me assist if he needs. Happy to pass you any details or give you more info if your interested.

Must be labour only. One of those how long is a piece of wire questions.
