No More Variation!

I emailed our BC today to ask if we can still add and upgrade a few things for our house, but I was told that they no longer allow variation once construction has commenced.

These are the items that we tried to include:

  • WIR set-up to master bedroom: We were quoted about $4000 for this during colour selection. We thought it would be good to have this all set-up when we moved in. 
  • Upgrade LED lights to porch, hallway and powder room to LED light with sensor: Wouldn't it be fancy to have lights that automatically turn-on when you enter a room?
  • Exhaust fan to powder room: Just to make sure that the room will always smell clean.
  • Projector pre-wiring to theatre lounge: For our movie dates!
  • Sound insulation to cinema lounge, powder room, master ensuite, first floor bathroom and WC : To keep the noise down especially in cinema lounge room
  • Privacy lock to bedroom 1, 2 and 3 
  • Keyed Lock to all openable windows
  • Soft door closer to main entry door
These were not included in our priorities during contract stage due to our fear that our loan will be undervalued, but because we ended up overvalued we have spare budget and can afford to add more upgrades. Unfortunately, some of them we need to live without as we can't add them anymore such as sound insulation, projector for cinema lounge and exhaust fan to powder room. Those that we can do after handover will just be done later.
