I may be wrong but my understanding is that BCA mandates that all light switches and sockets must be between 450mm and 1200mm from the finished floor level with the exception for kitchens. you may want to confirm with your QP on this requirement.

Initially the height was 1m but I don't like too low and asked for 1.3m, and they mentioned no problem after checking. 

Thanks for highlighting it to me.

Finally the front entrance wall and new driveway is taking shape.. The road curbs and palm trees had to be removed and new curb built.
