Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Western Sydney Daydream 30 Coral Homes 20Sep 12, 2017 12:52 pm So selections are now finished with the Electrical closed off today. Variation for electrical ended up at around $9k, which included them doing all the downlights (I would normal recommend these be done after handover, but it works better for our budgets and property valuation to have the builder do it in the contract). We also added a heap of double power points and data points, etc so was expecting a big variation, still a bit hard to cop $135 per downlight, but such is life. Just waiting on a price back from their kitchen company (Timpelle) who think that this process is a licence to print money, so not much being upgraded from the standard package. That said the standard package for our house is pretty good (it includes 20mm caeserstone with waterfall ends, overhead cupboards, and we can choose the thermo laminted cabinets). For an example of their ridiculous pricing, upgrade to supernatural range of caeserstone was around 9k. The cost difference for caeserstone slabs at retail would be approx. $2k, so $7k markup. Refer http://sydneybenchtops.com.au/caesarstone for an idea on stone benchtop pricing. Think we will be sticking with the standard range out of principle lol. Also got the final plan variation back so that is all pretty much finalised now, just waiting for CDC to be completed and we can sign contracts.
