We added: R4.0 Glasswool Ceiling Insulation - $238 R2.0 Soundscreen insulation batts to Rumpus Internal Walls - $612 You won't regret the R2.0 wall insulation. We added it to almost every single wall (interior walls too) which is probably overkill but even half finished the soundproofing is noticeable. We also added SoundStop plasterboard in most areas... I like my quiet! Quit reasonably priced for what it is, and damn near impossible to retrofit so it was something we either did during build or missed out on.

SEAV 6 star energy rating compliance." Do we have to ask for upgrade during tender process for R 4.0 insulation for ceiling to make it 6 star energy efficient? What the upgrade level for walls insulation beside soundscreen? Another question from double stories owners, did you build a store under staircase or left it just empty?

Advice from others has been to wait for Tender to see what the 6 star energy rating is for your particular house. Every house is different and depends on any changes that you make and I believe the orientation of your house on your block. I think then at Tender you can then ask for quotes to upgrade any of your insulation. Our 6 star listed R3.0 glasswool ceiling which we upgraded to R4.0. Also listed R2.0 glasswool external wall insulation with sisalation foil, so we didn't need to upgrade the external walls as it was already part of the 6 star. You might want to do a search on H1 regarding insulation and see what advice others give on different topics. The staircase in our house design already has a storage room under the stairs.
