Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 3204Mar 15, 2013 7:53 pm Hi, We are having issue and I am fighting with EB for it, I hope for win lets see. Few days back I posted wet brick issue, I nail it where is the problem. One side of my facade have no roof on it and top of the brick headers are exposed to the weather. After heavy rains, it appears to be a soaking of moisture sucking down from the top of the header course of the front brick wall. If the tops of exposed bricks are not sealed or flashed appropriately, moisture builds up and soaks downwards making the brick face extremely wet. This will then cause Efflorecense attack and when dry the brick face will appear white looking in areas. According to EB, it is not an issue but Howard Independent Inspector recokns it is defect and EB have to fix and he will fight for it. He is going for Inspection on Monday. Interstingly another home have same facade as mine and his facade top brick heards are covered with the metal but my SS say he doesnt care house other house is built. If anyone have exposed brick headers and they are sealed or covered with metal please post the picture so I can convince EBH.

Luckily for us, Howard's report had minimal issues and all were easily fixed within minutes. But in your case I would push it through to management. Both houses have similar facade, and you want to maintain your property to remain the high quality of the initial build. We are single storey but if I go out on the weekend to my block, I will check out the 2 double storey builds near means see what they look like. Ifi have timei will also go upto the next estate, and check the other 2 storey EB builds that I know as well.

Thanks 1sttime for checking it out for me, my SS say he will wait for the Howard report and if he mention this issue, he will talk to him in detail. If SS doesnt listen I'll push it through to management off course.

I would have thought that if a defect was picked up by Howard that eb would have to fix it up? I am not liking the sounds of this. Luckily for us there were only minor things picked up at frame stage as well. I wasn't provided with the tyrells report even though I asked for it. Lets hope nothing major is picked up for us when we get to PCI.

If SS doesnt listen I'll push it through to management off course. I can see the differences between your facades quite clearly. Definitely fight for it. It sounds like your ss couldn't be bothered having to go back to fix the issue. DO NOT GIVE EB THE LAST PAYMENT UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS FIXED. As once they have all your money you will not have any leverage to get them to fix the problem.

Thanks for the support BH, he said house was built according to the plans , I said it is not structural change, it is just the capping above the bricks as same I can see capping under the brick in the porch area. Plans are not showing everything though I see lot of stuff outside the plans. Howard already confirmed It is defect and EB have to fix it , once Howard send me the report ,lets see how SS takes it. If he still doesn't fix this I'll escalate to the management. There are other few issues lets see if he fix it. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 3210Mar 16, 2013 8:33 pm Interesting there is EB house in my street and their exposed bricks are capped as well. I checked their plans through council to check might be their plans elevation is showing this capping but their elevation showing also brick header course not the capped so it is definitely not structural change. I have also sent to the SS , I would advise anyone whose bricks are exposed , these bricks must be sealed or capped otherwise after heavy rains moisture builds up and soaks downwards making the brick face extremely wet. This will then cause Efflorecense attack and when dry the brick face will appear white looking in areas. Thanks for the Ryan Howard who explained this issue and taking up with EB.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 3213Mar 17, 2013 7:45 am Hi, We are building with Eden Brae a Foxley 30 with a third garage in Fletcher we have only just started and they should pour the slab mid next week. Anyone else building with Eden Brae in The Outlook Fletcher or in the Newcastle/Hunter region? Look forward to everyone's progress reports and tips Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 3214Mar 17, 2013 8:52 am Welcome AshtonFoxley30! We too should have a slab by mid week (have piering done) but you will then race ahead of us! Sooo do EBH 'own' the Tyrells reports? I thought they were 'independent' of EBH. Another reason I am glad to be engaging the services of HK Ryan. Is it in the contract about when we get access to the Tyrells reports? If not, fight for it. Worrying that they are being secretive about them until handover.
