Hi everyone,
We are up to our electrical appointments for our home and have pretty much decided that we will go with the standard inclusions and look to do the things we really want after handover. The main reasons we have decided to go with this approach was the cost factor (builder margin) and having the time to make decisions after we've moved into the house as opposed to making the choices all in one day at the builder's office.
After handover, we would like to install:
- ~30 downlights internally
- 3 up/down outdoor lights for front of house
- 2 x IXL (light, heat, fan) in ensuite and bathroom
- 3 x pendant lights over the kitchen islands
- alarm system
- adding ~10 additional power points backed onto the ones installed by the builder
- security/flood lights
- doorbell
- downlights under the eaves around the house
- 1 ceiling fan in the alfresco
- external powerpoints
- change all the switches to Saturn
What considerations do we need to make before we go ahead with this approach?
What makes sense to get done with the builder prior to handover so as to remove any headaches later on?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
