Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Our First Home - Lexington Belle Q1 by Henley in Atherst 74Sep 23, 2016 1:12 pm Update with our build: So, we are done with electrical and energy rating came back requiring us to upgrade ceiling insulation due to additional lighting. We also paid community infrastructure levy to Melton Council for the application of the building permit. I am still waiting for the updated drawings from the drafting dept at the moment. Now the bank has been looking at our status because I am still on maternity leave! They were asking when will I return to work. Hahaha! ![]() Re: Our First Home - Lexington Belle Q1 by Henley in Atherst 75Sep 23, 2016 1:18 pm How much is the levy as we will most likely be in for that too. I have enquired with Houspect but haven't decided yet. Who is SPI? Re: Our First Home - Lexington Belle Q1 by Henley in Atherst 76Sep 23, 2016 2:44 pm ![]() ![]() Thanks for sharing, very helpful. Do you know the cost for the under cupboard down lights as I'm very keen on getting these. We currently have an alarm system, doorbell, nbn connection and the Deluxe package at this stage, I'm guessing we will be adding more. You have a huge house so I reckon you'll be adding some more. I only added 2 under cupboard downlight (one on each side of the cooktop) that's $380. They should be bright enough since the range hood will have lights on it as well. I added the doorbell but took it out later on and i probably will just get cheap wireless ones from Bunnings. We have 6 data/telephone point scattered around but I placed one in the Butlers so that we can keep the phone there if we will be hosting some parties. Added 2 more ppoints (total of four double powerpoints) in the study because my husband will be needing them for sure. $380 for 2 lights seems a bit steep, to be honest I dont think it would cost that much but they can charge it I suppose, I would lke to add them mainly because I know how dark it gets as the cabinets tend to cast a shadow onto the bench so I think it would be worth spending the money on it.

I agree. Too steep for two lights. Too bad they don't do strip LED lighting. Re: Our First Home - Lexington Belle Q1 by Henley in Atherst 79Sep 23, 2016 2:51 pm $2600 for Houspect.
