It's the Harvard facade. Settlement is booked for Friday. We shall see!!!! Brickies were onsite this morning though so that is a start. Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 815Sep 05, 2012 1:41 pm Woah that is alot of houses for one person to handle, I think the problem is they dont have a dedicated tradie for one house. Like the brickie and carpenter I had were doing a few other houses on the same street. So this means my house had to wait for the other house to finish and they can start mine which was pretty annoying! Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 816Sep 05, 2012 3:52 pm IMO one tradie should not leave until the SS comes and inspects.. then when he is satisfied the next tradie can come in. This is what any builder will want us to believe.. in reality, it doesn't happen.

You're lucky. I didn't have any delays because of land settling and I missed my allocated start date - it was July. I am still waiting for my DA check (they've had it three weeks - and there is only one change of a slightly bigger water tank) then I need to get the final contract for the bank (and final approval) and then the correct final plans. I don't anticipate starting to October or possibly even November. The allocated start date is just another gimick - every builder has them. As it is I need to apply for an extension for the FHO Grant. Dearheart Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 818Sep 05, 2012 7:15 pm Went past the house tonight and Nawkaw had been there and fixed up a lot of the big chips, but left quite a few noticeable ones around the garage doors, alfresco and front entry - all the spots we specifically asked to fix as they are on highly visible areas. The roof tilers were there this afternoon and left shortly after we got there. There were 3 areas of the roof that had to be looked at, and all 3 locations were left untouched! Looking through the windows, we can see the tiling around the alfesco stacker door and kitchen wall have both been repaired - and we are happy with this One step forward - two steps back Houda ---- Built the Lincoln 35 at Georges Fair Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 819Sep 05, 2012 7:22 pm Stand firm, Houda - do not give them the final payment until you are happy because it sounds like you might have issues otherwise. Hard as it might be because you just want the keys, I think you will be thankful in the long run.

I hope they get it finished in time. We went up to our place tonight and I am VERY happy to report the brickies have been and replaced all of the broken bricks on the outside! The painters were there doing some touch ups and are doing the Moroka in the garage tomorrow. Then all that is left is a very big clean up and we are good to go for settlement on Friday Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ I built with EB back on 2009.
