Electrical Appointment and Post Contract Variation

Our Electrical appointment went well down in Moffat Beach.  We went over the $4000 allowance ..... as expected by $1200 but may be able to bring that back slightly depending on what our pool company says we need for their electrical fittings.  Also by reducing our number of power points by one, we will be able to delete an extra light circuit and safety switch.  So will work on that tonight.  We have allowed for plenty of fittings, so could easily loose one to save us $300.

We have decided to put LED's throughout the house.  Although they are expensive than standard down lights, they last for long long time so work out very cost effective and energy efficient.  My mission now to source the fittings at as good price as I can.

We have also decided to add an alarm system (an extra $1100) and smart wiring for our media room so that is all adding to the costs.  However, smarter to add them in now than later down the track.

Our Consultant was really helpful and had some good advice - so the whole exercise was pretty stress-free - even with the kids sitting on the floor playing on the iPads!

We also got back today our Post Contract Variation and was pleasantly surprised.  We hadn't gone for a lot of upgrades and those we had came in quite reasonable.  There are a couple of things we had quoted which we probably won't include as the costs are creeping up there! - but all-in-all we are pretty happy.

It's all starting to come together extremely well!  Council approval will be next!
