Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 42Mar 14, 2012 4:21 pm It was just under $3000 to upgrade my bricks. I am in the lifestyle range and upgraded to cat d?, I think. Dearheart Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 43Mar 15, 2012 8:33 am I got a big shock when I had my tender. There is acoustic requirements with my block and Eden Brae added $8000 worth of works to meet the acoustic requirements...eep! Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 44Mar 15, 2012 10:29 am acoustic requirements? ew -that is a might whack of money. We've had a tender presentation but still going back and forth to get it correct. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 45Mar 15, 2012 9:37 pm Me too. Is it taking a long time to get your tender correct? Mine has been going for a month - the last change it took almost 2 weeks to get back. They are SOOOOOO slow. Dearheart Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 46Mar 16, 2012 9:56 am We started a month ago too. They do the changes relatively quickly but sometimes the changes are incorrect or there are questions that need to be asked before they can change things in the tender. For instance - we wanted to change all windows to ones that would be able to open. This had to be checked and then they got back to us but overcharged etc... sigh... Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 47Mar 16, 2012 11:31 am Yes Eden Brae are very slow, they never get back to you or return your emails. You literally have to call them like everyday! Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 48Mar 16, 2012 12:04 pm Whilst my dealings with them pre-construction was not the best, they allways got back to my emails and calls. My tender/contract stage went very well and it was all done rather quickly. Perhaps they are just really busy at the moment. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 49Mar 16, 2012 12:24 pm They're ok - email or call them and they'll usually get back to you in the same day or in the next few days. But I'll wait and see how that goes after we pay the first big installment Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 50Mar 16, 2012 12:31 pm I think they take on more than they can handle thats for sure. Hey Oran, I called up coupler places in regards to the deco wood garage. The price you got is actually pretty good!

Hey Oran, I called up coupler places in regards to the deco wood garage. The price you got is actually pretty good! Good to know! I found the same at the time we were completing our tender...for some stuff EBH's price is really competitive, whilst some other stuff is way over priced You just have to be careful Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 52Mar 16, 2012 3:47 pm Yeh I bet the kitchen cupboards are overpriced...

EBH wanted wayy too much for overhead cupboards...and that was for the standard height as well..we are raising the ceilings so their cupboards would look weird, yet they wanted more for smaller cupboards then the quotes we got for bigger cupboards Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 55Mar 17, 2012 5:32 pm Oran sydbuild Yeah we are getting overhead cupboards done after handover. same!
