Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Electrical Plan with Clipsal - Need some advice 3Aug 27, 2020 10:50 am timthetoolman44 Sad to see no one gave you advice! I work closely with Clipspec as I do them for display homes that my Builders build. We normally won't touch Clipsal downlights as they are expensive so we work with other companies just for that component. May I ask before I give you any more advice if you're doing a Clipspec as a recommendation from a Builder please? Thanks for you reply My builder outsources all the electrical part to Clipsal so I had my electrical appointment with Clipsal's consultant. I've now done my electrical plan and changed all the lights in upper floor to batten holder only ($62.50/ea+), will get my sparky to install all the lights/fans/3 in 1 heaters after handover. All the downlights/Floods/Wall & Stair Lights are from SAL Just hope this post can help some people in the same situation like me before, Clipsal is working with a lot of well-known project home builders now, they do electrical plans for builders' customers and most of the inclusions are Clipsal products. Re: Electrical Plan with Clipsal - Need some advice 4Aug 27, 2020 10:56 am Yes everything you say is correct but I can tell you Clipsal has been working with the project builders for a very, very long time, this is nothing new. Nor is the Clipspec program that they are using to do the selection process for you. Did you do it online or visit one of their PowerHouses? Which city are you in if you don't mind me asking?

It is a great service isn't it? Last time I was there I witnessed a young couple who were building their first home with Coral Homes, spend about 45k in less then 25-minutes when they were on a low budget building originally! Money easily spent Re: Electrical Plan with Clipsal - Need some advice 7Aug 27, 2020 2:18 pm That's it, it's actually overall not a bad experience, showroom looks fancy and all the staff are quite polite and helpful. Originally i was quoted around $9000 with owner supplied fiitings, So I can image how much money others might spend with all the upgrades and extra lights/power points. The consultant wanted me to sign the documents straight away but I said I'll take home and think about it. End up spend roughly $6000 (Included $2000 provisional sum) Hi guys, I'm planning on reorganizing my bedroom completely so any kind of advice will be helpful since i have zero knowledge about interior design, matching colors,… 0 3584 Hi VK, Think it's worth investing time in an Owner Builder course to equip you with basic knowledge on Australian Building Industry and its regulations.
