When we put the offcut under bright light it came up as the original colour we thought it would be but inside it wasn't. Could it be a lighting thing?

It is amazing how light can change things, our kitchen cupboards look totally different but when we put the sample up it is spot on correct. Take an off cut from your house to the show room and match them up, if they are different don't be surprised when they tell you it is a different batch or the ones in the show room are old and are for display purposes only and may not reflect the actual colour.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10289Apr 04, 2014 3:00 pm oronno zRoYz my neighbor was telling me that he had problem with getting bin from council because of not issued intrim OC...we are under campbelltown council so not sure whats the requirements That maybe the case as councils tend to do things there own way, Liverpool didn't have a problem & never asked about cert. I would still try without cert & explain that you are already paying rates which is for rubbish removal & bins so could you have them please as you are moving in & your builder still hasn't supplied cert. Just ask very nicely with councils & explain your problem & could they help you out & you will take responsibility for the bins (councils charge you if bins lost). The stupid thing is you can put a bin outside your home & the garbage collectors will empty it with or without cert. Councils don't tend to use logic but at times a nice explanation & a please works.

Seems to be the favourite line." It is also used to explain away bad paint, bad gyprock finish etc I have gotten to the stage when that excuse is used with my home I laugh (even when not funny) & person sprouting that rubbish asks why I laugh & then I ask do EB supply a standard list of excuses for bad workmanship. The main issues with my home have been gyprock finish & paint, the gyprock tradesman tried to tell me the problems I can see is due to sun light, but the problem just wasn't in sun lit areas. The maintenance person from EB also used the light excuse blaming florescent light for my pathetic finish garage roof yet that problem doesn't exist any other roof surface in house. EB use way too many pathetic tradesman & honestly I don't think allot of them are tradesman especially the painters, for me a EB painter is just someone who can pick up a roller or a brush. This problem escalates because there is no real quality control from supervisors, you only have to start reading this thread to relise that with the constant stupid mistakes & bad finishing that happens way too often.

No OC required here but we had to go the council to pay for bin, and complete form - don't allow online payments.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10297Apr 05, 2014 3:24 pm We went to Di Lorenzo today with a sample the carpet. It truly is a different colour to what we chose.. Carpet on left is what we were supposed to get and carpet on right matches the sample on the bottom.. The sales woman at DL agreed that it was the wrong colour.. Will email the proof to SS tonight for him to action. He has already contacted DL to let them know there may be an issue so it should be resolved fairly quickly..
