Also did you go with Armani air conditioning for climate control?
We are just a bit unsure as other AC providers have given us quotes and waiting for a figure from Armani and not sure which way to go. Pre start is on Friday.
We started the process in mid-December '14 (applying for council approval, drawing of plans etc), signed the contract and Pre-start started in February, demolished our old house in April, and Slab was put down in mid-June. So in total a 6 months process including demolition.
We have gone with Armani and we were very happy with the consultation, the quote also came in around $6000-$7000 under our allocated amount per our PSH contract. We have full climate control in all rooms.
I've found the Pre-start to be the least enjoyable part of the process, but I think that is the case with any builder, trying to keep to the inclusions is always the best otherwise you'll run up a HUGE bill in upgrades.
