The main one…

I built in QLD so may be different, but i wish i had paid a little more attention to some of the reviews i read and choose differently. I had…

As for the vents, they like putting them near the windows, as thats generally the heat source for the room. I wasn't happy when they did my initial rough out…

Looking at your plans, your return vent will be in your living room. Its generally right near the a/c fan coil unit

Basically it worked this way, if you converted an existing light point, to a light + fan point it was $46 dollars or $110 for a new fan + light…

Ah yep there is two separate parts.
The $469 is if you want to move the Hub from standard location to alternate spot in the house. It is massively over…

Seems this is also the case in QLD, quite a lot of mistakes on my build so far.

I don't recommend the hills hub. I simply had all my data points run to under the stairs, and i've supplied my own cabinet/patch panels to terminate them on. Cabinet…

I would say be careful with these bricks. They are not a full colour brick, and unfortunately have a bright coloured brick underneath, so when they chip can look quite…

It was approx. 8 weeks from land settlement, to site scrape. In hindsight i should have delayed the settlement on the land a few weeks, but not to matter now.
