Who else is building with Eden Brae?

Thanks bugbos! Its taken me a few nights to put it all together but I know others will find it useful too Our next appointment is this Wednesday, so I will probably have another post in a few weeks time done for that too (will be bigger because we have a lot to cover D: )

There is a notification button right down the bottom where you can subscribe, hope that helps you!

Yeah thats the upgrade price from the 900mm venini. the standard on both sides of the oven is 2 door cupboards, and the kitchen island is 2 door cupboard under the sink, bank of cutlery drawers, a 1 door cupboard (normally where the bin goes i guess?) and a hole for the dish washer

Yeah the bin was really crazy expensive, but we didn't want the smaller bin options (my parents have the smaller version, it fills up way too quickly for 4 people in their house), there are smaller bin options but i don't know the prices

Hi guys, anyone installed or upgraded to double glazing with low-e windows from Eden Brae. I'm thinking to upgrade to double glazing in the living area but has lack of knowledge what kind of glass or product should look for. Any help would be appreciated. I'm building in Sydney South-West Edmondson Park which looks like in climate zone 6 - http://www.abcb.gov.au/work-program/ene ... -maps.aspx

Hi,

No problem I found the subscribe button!

Thanks for the kitchen information

Has anyone did moroka paint outside. I have opted out of moroka paint from EBH as they quoted 2500 dollars for harvard facade rendering. Please can you suggest anyone who does this outside? WhAt will be the charge?

Guys, just spoke to few painters outside and they coated around 25 to 35 dollars for morako render. They adviced first to apply the undercoat and sealer and then taubmans morako render paint using mits. The undercoat/ sealer costs 200 to 220 dollars for 15 litres and 200 odd for morako paint itself and 20 to 25 dollars for 1 hand mitt.

Hi Venniechada

If you can do the facade rendering after handover then you can save a lot of money. We deleted the moroka paint from facade and letter box. we tried to delete that on our tender time but they didn't agreed, they said it's a developer requirement and we must do that before handover. But when I check with my developer, they said we can do that after handover. So now we will do the cement rendering for the facade and letterbox.

Ok. I did the same mate. I am not going with them as they are very expensive.
Btw what is the difference between cement and morako rendering.

Cement render is more smooth finish then moroka paint. find the below links.

If you do moroka paint, use dark color for the facade. on lighter color it doesn't look good(personal opinion).
Cement rendering is more pricy then moroka paint. At the moment we are taking free quotes from the renders.

Thanks for the info guys, our brickie is starting work today so no free wrapping for us to add an extra R1.0 to the insulation although talking to some people going with other builders they only get the wrapping and no other external wall insulation so I guess we're still getting a better deal .

Hi coco

Great blog

Seeing your upgrades to the sink plugs, do the standard plugs actually "plug"? I.e do they actually push down?

We didn't really discuss this with cooks plumbing and just went standard but now I am wondering how one would plug the sink if it doesn't come with an actual push down plug.

Hasan , please let me know , how you go with your cement quotes. I have spoken to few guys as well.

I have accepted EB tender for Cremorne 35 to be build at Elara Marsden Park. Contract to be signed shortly. All the fine points in this forum will help me go through the contract items. Can anybody share how many days before you got your contract and plans. I have told EB to give me at least 4-5 days for review.

I got mine 5 days prior.

They give you a bundle with standard contract at the time of tender acceptance. However we were told the original contract will be given 2-3 days before signing. We requested at least 4-5 days and received 5 days including weekend.

We received just the day before our contract appointment. luckily our solicitor checked the contract at night and reply me back through email.

Mine arrived at 4:30pm via courier, with a note to have it back to EBH by 8:30am the next day... Lol! I said they would receive it prior to 7days (no later) ️

This is what we finally choose
Roof: Sambuca, Brick: Loam, Mortar: off white,Gutter: Night sky, Fascia: Surfmist, Windows: Custom black(EB don't provided Monument as a window color), Facade: Surfmist & Peparbark

Has anyone used Caoba for the garage door? How much would be the upgrade price?

Also to people who wants to see the loam brick house, they can go to Kellyville homeworld and Gledswood homeworld instead of going to the new build houses...

Had my contract signing today. Now the waiting game begins.
After contracts done i headed downstairs to Home Gallery and seen the electrical consulate and asked for the price list so i can start budgeting. They gave me a version dated Dec 2014 but is the most current.

Yes we went with Harvard Facade & removed the cladding (replaced with bricks) all the way up. We organised this with tender presenter & there was no extra cost.
