I have heard that it is from site cut but then heard it is from when your file goes into construction. Hi, it's from when they start excavation. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 14622Jun 23, 2017 3:35 am  emdee mikegrg1By the way is the Christmas new year 3 week shutdown included in the build period? Or is it added on top of the building period? We asked verbally and were told it was included. But you should try to get it in writing because it's not clear in the contract. Note that although EBH's head office closes down for the 3 weeks, but some contractors still work throughout. We had brick contractors on site on New Year's Eve. I did call the office and they said that 3 week break is not included and will be added on top. Reading Contract seems confusing 23 Jun 2017 10 Junior Member Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 14623Jun 23, 2017 5:27 am mikegrg1 emdee mikegrg1By the way is the Christmas new year 3 week shutdown included in the build period?

Email your admin coordinator and ask them what's the expected practical completion date. It's calculated from the day they excavate. The rainfall days is what will blow out the completion time though. It's very unclear in the contract how they define 'adverse weather'.

We're almost near completion and haven't seen a bill yet? Thanks Well the question is, is there a meter installed yet? If not then you don't pay yet until they do. No idea, would have to check, thanks! Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 14627Jun 23, 2017 9:11 pm emdeeI've seen some posts about when completion date is, but not sure if anyone's posted anything about building delays with Eden Brae. Has anyone experienced building delays due to 'adverse weather' or due to other reasons outside of your control? Its mainly rain... especially before the roof goes in... if there's rain then there's no work... 15 Aug 2016 402 NSW Gold Member Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 14629Jun 24, 2017 11:14 am winto_04With the 54 standard paint colours, are we able to go half strength with them, or are they only available in full strength?

Ours appear to be laid top to bottom as the tiler has cut the bottom row in half to fit in the remaining gap. Also noticeable is that he has laid the skirting tile after he has done the shower tiles.
