Hi,
Congratulations on your rapidly construction progress and thank you for sharing.
I am building Bristol 35 SQS with Eden Brae Homes in Denham Park, Willowdale in South West Sydney.
I have been released to construction today and my Construction Supervisor will be Robert Miller. Can you please let me know if you have deal with him
Hi John,
We finished building with EBH last July, Robert was our SS. He was excellent, easy to contact, willing to let us walk through many times through the build. Sorted issues before we noticed them, and if one did slip through, he'd be straight on to it.
In saying that, the Tyrrells inspectors and our own inspectors let us down as we have had cracking in the ensuite and bathroom due to non supported roof trusses. Ened result is both bathrooms getting stripped out and re done.
The good news is EBH have not stalled on any of our maintenance requests and have fixed everything.
Good luck with your build.
Hi winto_04,
Thank you for your information regarding my site supervisor, Robert Miller.
Can you please let me know who were your independent inspectors. I am currently considering Houspect Construction to inspection for my house slab once it is constructed. Please let me know if you have any best inspector you may recommended.
Thanks,
John
We used Houspect on recommendation from others. They were very thorough, but I guess we're all human and make mistakes. In our case it was probably one of those things they check a few are done and sign off on the rest.
They provided very detailed reports and picked up stuff that I didn't even consider to be defects.
I will probably get Houspect back to do an inspection prior to our 2 year maintenance.

Hi, How much did they charge and was it just the final inspection or staged?

[/quote]It was just under $2000 and included an inspection at slab, frame, pre lining, lock up and handover.
Not a lot of $ considering how much you'll be spending over all.
They also do a waterproofing inspection at an added cost.
This was all booked in prior to our construction starting so coming up to 2 years ago. Things may have changed.
Are the standard floor tiles ceramic or porcelain? Predominately in the prestige range?
Ceramic is the standard tile.
Porcelain is an upgrade. We are building the Waldorf 50 and had to pay extra.
Cheers
Kind Regards,
Bruce

Anyone know EBH run neural wire along with every switch box?
How much should one allow for the electrical upgrades appointment? 2 story 42sq home if I have access to my own sparky after handover? What did everyone spend.

I am building almost similar size. I spent around $16K. It will be difficult to do wiring on ground level. But you can do batten holders instead of DLs. My electrician quote for DL conversion didn't save anything. We end up doing all the lights using them.

Thanks. I saw their price lists that I think you uploaded and nearly died. Fortunately for me my next door neighbour (good mate) and two cousins are sparkies. They thought I was joking when I showed them the price of a batten holder even. Granted labour and wiring is included but wow. Just wow. No wonder sparkies are so cashed up out of all the tradies. Good luck to them if they can get it.
Hi all
Did anyone get an independent
Inspection through the build and find stuff Tyrells didn’t?

http://www.whlawyers.com.auHey Bruce - Im getting ready to build the Waldorf. You happy with your supervisor, sales guy, project manager? Any recommendations? Thanks
We had several problems and frustrations with our cso (who I have heard has left since). We escalated to management a few times who sorted things out quickly. The good news is once you move into construction you barely have to deal with the cso. Fingers crossed you get a good construction supervisor. Ours was brilliant.
Hi how did you get hold of management to escalate your complain with your cso?
Who was yrs? I'll b starting soon. will be nice to have yr cs's name. Thanks.

We are building on Hybrid frames. But we added timber noggins on the places where we planning to mount TVs. To be frank, if the frames are close enought for the mount kits screw points, I would not need the noggins.

The sales person who we dealt with Kevin Huynh is no longer at Eden Brae Homes as he has moved to London but he did a really good job.
We had a great building supervisor who is really communicative, rings and emails us. A good two way relationship. His name is Ryan Stinson. Our CSO, Samantha is doing wonders behind the scenes. Most people go through maybe 2-3 CSO’s during a build (Resignation or maternity leave), I’ve only had the one.
We are almost at completion and are going for PCI on September 10. Total build time was about 10 months from start to finish. They are finishing on time as Public Holidays and Christmas/New Year shutdowns are not included.
Kind Regards,
Bruce

Just wondering if anyone has added a split to their home? We're building the Lincoln 35 and due to our block we're asking for a split, and I'm just curious as to what the cost is going to be. We have our tender appointment shortly but we're just trying to get a rough idea.

Are you asking about Stepdown? We have Stepdown in our build. We only know about the Stepdown after our contract signed

Yes, so making it a split level. Because of the slope of our block we'll have a step up to the main living area. Ballpark figure seems to be $13k but I wondered if anyone else had had one done and knew costing.

We were not charged extra, as when the tender was prepared, they already added the site costs based on the slope in the land.
