We had our colour appointment on 24th October. This is when could decide about all the internal stuff. This was full day affair actually.
Electricals
First half we went through the electricals in which we could decide various electricals to be included related with lights, switches, power points, TV points, Gas points, network, Foxtel and broadband cabling. Also the various outside jukeboxes to be created for external lighting on the walls and in the gardening and the future gate and fence. The good thing was that all these changes were carried out through a software so there was less chance of leaving anything behind. We were quite happy with the whole process. The lady was very experienced from the electricals division and it was pretty smooth sailing for us as she advised us on most of the decisions. We exceeded our budget though, but somehow were not disappointed at this.
It cost us almost 10k for the electricals.
