Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13977Nov 05, 2016 9:47 pm I actually don't mind the washing of the dishwasher, but the start button needs a good press in to start. The oven is only ok, we had a really good double one in the old house which cooked in good timing etc, this one doesn't seem to cook very evenly and I literally have to warm it up and cook on 250 degrees . The gas cook top is also ok. Feels like there's only really one large cooker and the rest are smaller. The microwave isn't too bad, the grill part I like, but ours has become rusted up the top. Really weird because I clean it out regularly. I will mention the dishwasher but hubby said it might be going overboard to list the rust on the microwave Ps: how are your stairs? We have been in just on three months and they are creaky!! There's no sneaking up or down the stairs here. And the carpet is becoming worn and is not nailed down properly. I really hope they do something to resolve it. Surely it can't be normal for stairs to creak that quickly? Edited to add: how annoying about your dishwasher that you have to replace that part all the time!! Hi, can I ask what brand appliances you got. We're they smeg? Thanks Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13978Nov 06, 2016 6:58 am Kpatto1 I actually don't mind the washing of the dishwasher, but the start button needs a good press in to start.

Thanks Hey kpatto1, Just a quick question was your staircase made using ash timer or just the normal staircase? What type of carpet did you go for?

Thanks Hi kpatto, we just got the venini appliance package. Hi Bruce, that post was referring to our stairs. They are covered with carpet and are the Normal timber underneath I'd say. We chose carpet from the standard range with the standard underlay (it was going to cost approx $1300 to upgrade underlay alone, so we thought we'd stick it out and upgrade in five years time or so). We regret the carpet we chose, we wish we'd gone a darker colour and there are parts in the house which aren't laid properly and it concerns me as to how quickly the carpet on the stairs has worn. Here's a photo of our carpet.

We are going to our first tender appointment on the 16 November. What decisions should we make before then? What can we expect in the meeting? Check with other similar builders price for similar build (size, facade,inclusion) and their current offer so you know where you stand and can bargain with them. This is the only time where you might ask for discount after this everything else is pretty much fixed price... best of luck Hi dreamh0me, Can concur with mikegrg1 that this is the time to ask for discounts or to have certain things added/changed without charge. I would suggest you also have a read through the topic "Things you forget" as it may give you some pointers of what you may not think of until it is too late (viewtopic.php?f=31&t=5823). I would say, try to prepare as much as possible and if there are certain things that you have questions about, ask - don't assume. (e.g. We thought that EB had forgotten to draw a wash basin in the upstairs toilet and when we questioned, it was indeed how it was going to be...We had to have one added... All the best, BelgianBuilder. I built with EB back on 2009.
