Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2068Dec 13, 2012 6:38 pm Hi Guys, We got a quote from Kitchen Culture for overhead kitchen Cabinets, including cabinet extension to cealing, 10mm overhang so no handles and a wine rack for $2574. Our kitchen is an extended kitchen so the area where the cabinets will go is about 2m in lenght taking the 900mm of rangehood out. and the fridge space is 1.3m where the wine rack will go. does this sound a good price or we cna get it done from outside at cheaper price? can you guys suggest some places where we cna get this done from outside. Secondly, I am planning to get downlights done post handover can some suggest a good way to manage the standard light points provided by Eden Brae dont wnat them ti be there once the downlights are installed. got a quote for $80 supplied and installed. GU10 9W LED Thanks guys for all the help over the last few weeks have learnt a lot from this blog. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2069Dec 13, 2012 7:23 pm Get them to install the standard batten holders in the corners of the rooms so you can just make the hole larger for a downlight. Thats how i'm having mine installed and EB put a note for the leco's saying layout for future downlight fitout. Building the Lawson with Eden Brae in Cameron Park Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2070Dec 13, 2012 8:36 pm Hey guys Just filling you in on today's events Had tender appointment with Sara Everything went well and only hiccup was the plans but we got that sorted out so just waiting on the drawings Our site costs were not bad We needed additional fill, H slab, piering and drop edge(only to one side) This all came to 9.2k and we had factored in 11k so was a win there Also we got a 2.7k rebate cause we are on recycled water. And we actually booked in our HOG appointments early so they were flexible with that A few stuff we added were increased our niches size and the bathtub Waterfall edges Cold water point Fan to alfresco Tiles to hallway Semi frameless shower screens Bulkhead to kitchen and we determine the size Allowances for kitchen, electrical and bathroom Locks to bed and bathroom Anything else you think I forgot haha Building a Sheffield 25 + 2sq Pegs 4/6 Site cut 10/7 Slab 18/7 Frame 26/7 Roof Tiles 9/8 Bricks 21/8 Lockup 27/8 PCI 1/11 Keys 15/11 Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2071Dec 13, 2012 8:46 pm Frosted windows in bath and ensuite?

Pipes were being dug today when I drove past the block. They were still there when I was visiting at 5:30pm. The neighbours popped out when they saw me, I didn't make a fuss, just listened to their concerns. I hope the workman didn't continue working after 6pm... The third EB build in our estate got red pegs today!! Can't wait to see what designs we are all building. Reading through our anticipated dates... The expect the electrical to be started the 9th January... I can handle that mini break. Frames are expected to be delivered the 14th jan. so it's not as long as I thought....

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2077Dec 13, 2012 9:31 pm Sheffield25 Anything else you think I forgot haha Gas point to alfresco? Depends on BBQ needs I guess. I can't even play the vegan card to avoid that one, apparently it's a must have for him hehe -Location of a/c, water tank, etc with space for shed/clothesline, gardens etc. we had thought of this stuff but didnt mention it til yesterday when we saw our plans and there was a/c where we want our line, and a tank up near the rear bedroom when we picture our tank up near the garage/theatre (we extended the garage a meter wider so there's a nice space for it. Probably no big deal but if it saves a little redrawing I'm sure they'd be happy lol. 1sttime/Sheffield, our first appointment is tomorrow morning, 9am I had to get through another day of work first haha, then we go back in on Monday to hopefully wrap it up. A coworker has recommended one of the SS's that does EBH builds out Oran Park way so fingers crossed we might get him. Keen to get a guy who is a bit of a harda$$ and/or has high standards (I imagine they all would, but may as well take advantage of a recommendation if we can) Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2078Dec 13, 2012 9:38 pm Does that ss 's name start with P?

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 2080Dec 13, 2012 9:46 pm 1sttimebuilding2012 Does that ss 's name start with P? Haha I dunno, I'm still waiting on the name. My coworkers son works with the guy. Sounds like he's a stickler for doing things properly which is what we like to hear. I will let you know when I find out more I'm looking forward to colour selection, I hope the enthusiasm lasts. I expect to hear the words 'upgrade' and 'cost' a lot. I built with EB back on 2009.
