We started off doing our electrical stuff like light provisioning, light switches, power points, data and TV antenna allocation. We are doing the light installs after handover, we were advised by our electrician mate for the ground floor you would rather to go overboard with light provisioning because its harder for him to add down light after the plaster board is up. So we were allocated 30 lights provisions by Ausbuild for this home and we ended having 95 lights provisions on our plan haha we thought we went a bit overboard but were told on average its about 80 - 90 lights for this size house this made us feel a bit better. We ended up having around 5k upgrade for the electrical part. We initially went with 65 lights in our contract to which the home and land consultant thought was too high. But I couldn't understand how this was high. 80 would be ideal for us. Mai Panda Other upgrades we did was changing to a pivot door, kitchen benchtop to 40 mm silestone, all bathroom benchtops to 20 mm silestone, undermount basin, upgrade to larger sink in the kitchen, We did all these upgrades before the contract signing. Really appreciate your help.

One thing with pivot door you will be unable to put security screen or mosquito screen in the future due to the way the pivot door works.. Looks good but not that practical i think in Brisbane weather. Otherwise all your plans looks good! Re: Ausbuild Stretton Heights - First Home Build QLD 19May 25, 2017 8:31 pm You can put security screen on a pivot door. We currently have a 1.2m pivot with crimsafe. They leave a bigger gap between doors if it's a pivot door that's it.

Cheers for the info, I have seen people who has pivot doors that has security screen in front of them so its possible I guess. I just like the idea of able to bring large furniture through the door if need and we both like the bigger door design.
