Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 89Apr 05, 2012 12:40 pm Hi Guys, so we had our colour selections/electrical/plumbing on Monday and Tuesday which was long and tiring, yet also the fun part =D I'll update my blog tonight with our experience and how the process was. photoimpressions - i'll pm you with details =D _________________ Building with EBH - Saville 27 @ The Ponds Our House Building Blog - http://rabsndee.blogspot.com _________________ Building with EBH - Saville 30 @ The Ponds Building Blog - http://rabsndee.blogspot.com 22/08 - Slab Done 07/09 - Frames 16/09 - Roof 02/10 - Bricks 26/10 - Lockup 17/01 - Settlement Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 90Apr 05, 2012 3:06 pm PM Sent =] My recommendation would be to try and do as much as possible after your keys are handed over, and only do those things now which will be harder to do later. I'd also recommend calling a few electricians and get some advise on what they can\cannot do afterwards (i.e. powerpoints\switches\cabling) etc...

Colours choices look great. It's a long process isn't it???? Our house building blog: http://shellgavshouse.blogspot.com/ Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 94Apr 06, 2012 6:09 pm Thankyou sydbuild. We ended up spending the entire day there, just to make sure the colors all matched and worked with each other (which I hope they do now).... The process overall is fun and exciting, but you just need to watch you back pocket and think twice and ask your self, 'do I really need this now, or can it wait till later'. Simply, the builds will always add a margin on top. One of the things I wanted was to tile my wet areas to ceiling, however through the builder its going to cost around 1.5-2k per bathroom, where as doing this after will be cheaper, so I bought the tiles now so they are in the same batch, and will then get the tiling of this done later. Same with flooring, we will be doing all our flooring after handover. All in all, communicate and know what you want and stick to your guns and act as though you know everything =D _________________ Building with EBH - Saville 30 @ The Ponds Building Blog - http://rabsndee.blogspot.com 22/08 - Slab Done 07/09 - Frames 16/09 - Roof 02/10 - Bricks 26/10 - Lockup 17/01 - Settlement Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 95Apr 08, 2012 11:00 am Btw guys...Option A brick upgrade (we upgraded to the Vino) was only an extra $400 for the whole house....Hopefully that gives you a good starting base... _________________ Building with EBH - Saville 30 @ The Ponds Building Blog - http://rabsndee.blogspot.com 22/08 - Slab Done 07/09 - Frames 16/09 - Roof 02/10 - Bricks 26/10 - Lockup 17/01 - Settlement Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 97Apr 08, 2012 10:25 pm We got the mews blend for our bricks, funny the customer representative told us it was $839 for the upgrade and when they give us the post contract variation it said $950.

We also got off white mortar which was an extra $238 I built with EB back on 2009.
