Builder or Client? 12Sep 04, 2012 11:45 am ![]() Thanks for the info the site manager called today and left a message looks like they are about to start very soon! bad timing though, husbands in hospital, but we are very excited and can't complain I've been waiting for so long! I will give him a call back tomorrow and ask him about the electrical side of things thanks for your help ![]() No worries. Good Luck Re: Lighting who chooses what? Builder or Client? 13Sep 12, 2012 9:52 pm HI I would say from experience that in order to make the right decision, it must be an agreeable solution between both builder and client. Obvioulsy, the Client is the one paying the builder so they retain ultimate control over the final decision Dean Dean Cato - CEO Murano Italian Decor and Glass Lights http://www.italiandecor-glasslights.com salesandsupport@italiandecor-glasslights.com Re: Lighting who chooses what?

If u have pics that would be helpful not sure if I'm meant to just go buy our own . We have 3 at the front each side of the garage and one on the pillar Hi, we changed the portico baton light to a downlight that we purchased so I am not sure what is standard, we added a down light above the feature matrix board on the facade and 2 downlights in the eave above garage door and 2 sentry up/down lamps on the rendered portico piers. We purchased most of our lights through Beacon Lighting. I posted a few picks on Mac25 thread a while ago of what we have done. I will try to take a photo of the standard inside fittings which would have been used in the Portico as soon as I can but I am not sure if this is a DFH fitting or if the electrician puts them in as a replacement to a standard baton fitting. Though I am not sure if all regions are the same. Best to ask the electrician when you have your meeting Re: Lighting who chooses what? Builder or Client? 16Sep 14, 2012 7:32 pm Thanks a pic will be great! I have bought a fair bit from there. Can I ask did you pay the electrician? Or DFH does it as a variation? I have about 7 pendants that need to be wired! Thanks ![]() Re: Lighting who chooses what? Builder or Client? 17Sep 14, 2012 8:28 pm Yes, everything that was an extra from the standard electrical plan was completed directly with the electrician though I do not know if this happens in other regions with DFH.
