I wanted to go DCP so we skip the council approval crap but Eden said they can't commence the work before Aug. Wisdom said Eden reached their quota assigned by HIA. Eden is popular as a Mercedes Benz!

Sydbuild - we're only up to tender stage at the moment. I'm trying to think of everything we might need to do at this stage - any hints? Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13Feb 13, 2012 1:27 pm Yeah, that is a first that I have heard about building limits! I guess it is a good thing though! EntertainerStar - Just read everything very carefully, and dont be scared to ask as many questions as you want.

I'm so excited Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 15Feb 20, 2012 9:00 pm August sounds about right, was talking turkey with them about 2 weeks ago and they said late July would be the start date if I kicked was signing up then. I dropped of on them a little due to the date but also the house design we liked wasn't in the top 3 that we really liked Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 16Feb 28, 2012 9:10 am Hi Eden Brae-ites! Can you tell me what sort of upgrades you made? We went to tender recently and the EB contact told us we'd probably want to make quite a few upgrades. This means more $$ to an already pricey house. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 17Feb 28, 2012 2:52 pm Hey EntertainerStar...well upgrades really depend on your budget. You dont have to make upgrades if you are happy with the home, everyones different I guess. A standard home, with perhaps the EB promotions would still look great. The major things we upgraded were things like: Raised Ceilings Upgraded door heights/styles Upgraded Alfresco Stacker door height Upgraded facade Extended alfresco width Upgraded garage door Upgraded glass in bathroom and ensuit Kitchen Upgrade Extended driveway down the side of the home for a footpath Upgraded basins and showerheads Upgraded electrical Upgraded some tiles Thats all I can think of at the moment, I think there was a few other small things Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 18Feb 29, 2012 1:13 pm Hi Oran, That list is very handy - thanks. There are so many things to add as 'extras' or 'upgrades'. We're just trying not to let the budget blow-out or get a bad surprise after accepting the tender.

Anyone considering upgrades like wall mounted kitchen cupboards, electrical, fencing etc. I'd recommend you get external quotes first as EBH can be a little $$ Building Hawthorne 27 with Eden Brae McKeachies Run - Aberglasslyn Slab 4/10/11 Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 20Feb 29, 2012 7:23 pm BMAC-Hawthorne27 We're building the Hawthorne 27! Hopefully we'll be in by April. Anyone considering upgrades like wall mounted kitchen cupboards, electrical, fencing etc. I'd recommend you get external quotes first as EBH can be a little $$ Hi BMAC-Hawthorne27, Totally agree...we are getting overhead cupboards, fencing and electrical upgrades (we only spent money on making things easier for after hand over with EBH) etc... How has your going? How has the experience with EBH been so far? I built with EB back on 2009.
