Re: Anyone Built/Building With Eden Brae? 17Feb 18, 2008 9:51 am I dont have my contract on me right now but there is a clause in the contract to that says that its subject to council approval. Eden Brae are'nt trying to screw anyone and I doubt whether they would waste their time following it up, I know they have a long list of people waiting to build with them. In Oct last year (2007) I was told it was an 6 month waiting list to start building. When they get stuck into it and throw them up quite quickly.
While we were building with Eden Brae we were renting in the area and the house next to us was being built by Clarendon. It took them smack on 1 year from slab to client moving in, some times we didnt see any trades on site for a month. From memory, before the plans went to council, we had already paid them $1500, or it might have been more to cover their costs of drawing up plans and applying to council, which is fair I think. The hardest part I found dealing with Eden Brae was getting to the building stage, It took ages to get all the prices for the variations we had and some were over the top. The best way to approach it I found was to have all your extras ready for when you meet with the tender presenter (We met with Ashley). Ashley will get the prices for any and all extras you want to included there and then, whereas if you want prices for extras after that you go thru your CSR and prices can take several days if not weeks to get back to you. Once we had all the extras sorted out the actual construction was very straight forward and quick. I built with EB back on 2009.
