Congratulations! We had a site inspection on Tuesday with our SS and everything went well. Our SS mentioned that our build is on schedule and EB have bit of a lull at the moment which is probably good for you Bax and others building in the Hunter. There have only been about 7 slabs laid recently as opposed to 35 a few months ago. Have updated my blog with a few pics. Scaffolding should come down tomorrow and then they can start on the porch. So lets hope the nice weather continues!!! Granadz - not long now. You must be so frantic with packing, etc. Please post pics if you get a chance!!! Yeah 5 of those slabs are in our stage!!! And yes we were the last slab laid!!!!!

It went well. Jason was very informative on ways to fix anything that did not make it on the list. Amongst other things we are getting carpet anchored down in small areas for all rooms that have carpet, paint and plaster touchups to a small area of laundry, our glass sliding door will need servicing. Someone had snapped a key in the lock, which is why we could not insert the key into the lock. Would have been nice for them to rectify the issue rather than leaving it for us to find out for ourselves towel rail in master bedroom will be replaced with the right size rail and Jason has put down for someone to look into our vanity taps. There is a handful of smaller issues. Now lets see how long it takes for MJH to coordinate all trades to do the work.

We have now made contact with them, since I am off work next week...I would like the 3 jobs to be done completed then... Wonder if it will happen?

My cooling off finished 5pm on Friday night. They were in my house for over an hour... I thought they were going through with the reports and were changing their minds... I was going stir crazy... Ends up they were measuring up for their furniture and having a good ole chat with the real estate agent. I know exactly how you feel, but I am thinking positively this time... It will go through. The maintenance company got back with my partner today, and they are booked in for a Saturday in two weeks time to do the repainting. The other thing with the shower will be done a different day.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 7755Sep 20, 2013 7:25 pm Hi everyone, my broker just informed me that she needs our stamped copy of contract page which was not given when land got settled. now for our construction loan bank wants that copy of stamped contract page. i dont know who was responsible for handling that documents during land settlement. My broker contacted my solicitor and solicitor said he received nothing. now i have to call to title office to provide me one copy of stamped contract cover page and then send that to bank. has anyone faced this sort of problem ? or your solicitor did provide you stamped copy of cover page of land contract. I hope someone could help me with this..

Congratulations! well we thought it was great too until the phone call this afternoon from SS - the slab is out - EB now calling engineers in to recheck and see how it can be fixed. or if it is the frame drawings !!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going over in the morning and measure it all too - wish we had the call before we paid the invoice. - to say we are not happy would be an understatement.

I hope everything gets sorted. How on earth can they pour a slab wrong??? oronno Hi everyone, my broker just informed me that she needs our stamped copy of contract page which was not given when land got settled. now for our construction loan bank wants that copy of stamped contract page. i dont know who was responsible for handling that documents during land settlement.

I hope someone could help me with this.. Thank you My solicitor sent me a copy of the front page with all signatures and stamp. Your one is not doing their job properly if they didn't receive a copy. You should have also received a copy of the full land contract. If you don't have a copy, then ask for one.
