Frequently asked questions
We highly recommend you look through all the preparation material we have provided to you prior to your appointment so that you have a good idea of what you would like to select on the day.
Marking up your standard electrical plans with what you would like to include for your selections is also a great way to prepare for the appointment – make sure to take into account your furniture layout for power point placement around the home.
During your Lifestyle Design Appointment, we will calculate how much power you will require for your home based on the selections made. We will also note if three-phase power is recommended based on this calculation.
You can also request a three-phase power upgrade through your Customer Experience Coordinator.
Unfortunately, we cannot allow any work to be completed by the customer or any external trades for the duration of the build.
Any additional electrical works that you would like to complete (in addition to what you have selected in your appointment) will need to be completed post-handover.
There is no roof access to the ground floor of a double storey home so adding in any additional electrical items is extremely difficult. We can however provide some electrical provisioning depending on your requirements and the product.
Heating and Cooling solutions are unique to each home, your Lifestyle Designer will send you rough pricing for the different options we have on offer in the preparation email we send out 1 week prior to your appointment.
For more specific information or further quotes, please ask your Lifestyle Designer.
We generally allocate three hours for single-storey homes, and four hours for double-storey homes.
Depending on how prepared you are for your appointment, and the size of your home, we will generally spend the 60 – 90mins of the appointment going through the product available for selection.
We will require at least 30mins at the end of the appointment to finalise your paperwork and sign off on your selections, with the remainder of the time spent going through your electrical plans.
