Re: Hunt Club Cranbourne East, 3977!! 6Mar 18, 2010 2:37 pm kristyv Hello fellow Hunt club Neighbours!!!, We are building a house in stage 58 .Building a 32sq home with Rawdon Hill.. Just looking at the expenses as they seem to be mounting up. We have heaps of brochures reguarding the Telstra Velocity/Smart Community. We have been told by our builder it will cost 2500 to smart wire our house?? Does any body know any contractors in the area I can contact to see If we are being ripped off?? Also as I understand because they are laying new fibre optic cabling we have no choice as to if we want smart wiring or not..Please Help!!! Hi, we are building at Cascades on Clyde next to hunt club which has telstra smart velocity also. We were charged aroung $2600 i think so it is around the mark that you are getting charged. It is a feature of the estates and must be installed so every house has the fibre optic cabling.

We're at stage 51. At the moment, we are waiting for the variations to come back so we can sign them - then ready for final drawings. I've left phone messages and sent e-mails to the girls in the Head Office asking for the variations but seems like they have a tendency to not get back to you till the last minute. Our land settled Feb 10, we chose our colours Feb 19 and our finance is fully approved - so what are they waiting for? It's not easy to wait patiently for these things to sort out when you are paying rent and land loan repayments at the same time. I hope I will get some good news from them this week. Can anyone tell me what happens after I sign and submit the final variations - like when will I get a site start???????? I would jump up and down just to see pipes at least on our block of land Truly, madly, deeply EXCITED! and an ounce of anxiety Bella Site Scrape 27/04/10 Slab 7/5/10 Frame 11/5/10 Lock up - June Fix up - July Build thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=32389 Re: Hunt Club Cranbourne East, 3977!! 10Mar 23, 2010 10:29 am dearhouse Hi everyone, My husband and I are building the Princeton 251 with DFH in Hunt Club.

Take Care Re: Hunt Club Cranbourne East, 3977!! 13Mar 31, 2010 9:13 am Hello Kristy, Nathan from Smart Wiring Australia here. Depending on what your getting $2,500 seems rather high, 90% of installs we've done have been $1,500 or below. Please note higher prices are not always the builders fault, main problem here can be installers inflating the price because of fancy words like "smart wiring" If you want good service and quality work at a great price please call Nathan 1300 881 810 Smart Wiring Australia For all your smarting wiring, home entertainment, security alarms and cabling requirements call us Re: Hunt Club Cranbourne East, 3977!! 14Mar 31, 2010 12:09 pm troubz Hello Kristy, Nathan from Smart Wiring Australia here.

It's always a good idea to let your builder know you've got your own qualified person, most builders dont care, some demand you use their tradie as they want make a margin on top. All in all though we have never had a problem by simply going in just before plaster is up. Hope this helps Nate The warning is on the sticker on the door too.
