Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13781Aug 29, 2016 3:35 pm Hi Lincoln 35, we have no details and we are fuming atm as we definitely don't think it's fair that we fork out $$$ for their fill. It's fine if they use the land but cleaning up after is ethics. Unfortunately we are running out of time and don't want delays. We also noticed big tyre marks across the land and pegs have been knocked out of their place. I found the corner lots pegs on our lot. Hoping all this doesn't cause delays. 1 more week to construction stage. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13782Aug 29, 2016 4:56 pm That would be frustrating!! And also because you are so close to starting, you've probably been waiting a long time and you don't want anything to cause delays! It really isn't great ethics, I agree. Can you get someone to go there during the day and speak to whoever is next door? Btw, it's pretty quick to get details from Camden Council, you just need to complete a form online and email it through. Only thing is they are olden days and only have names and addresses. So you'll have to snail mail them. But if you express post them it might work. I'd keep trying however you can to contact the builder, even if you have to go to their display homes in OPT.

I was unaware that you can request details like who your neighbors are from council. Can you advice what form I should be looking for on their site? Many thanks Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13784Aug 29, 2016 5:39 pm alina1184 Thanks for the advice Lincoln 35.

Good luck Alina Built the Eden Brae Lincoln 35 in Oran Park. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13787Aug 30, 2016 1:04 pm Hi everybody just an update. The info may probably be helpful to others in the forum in the future. So as advised by Lincoln35 and Mikegrg1 I sent a request to council. I saw an email response from them early this morning. Which is very impressive. I was advised that under the Fencing Act they are unable to disclose the neighbors details as its only given out for fencing issues. The lady suggested in the email that she can record it as a illegal dumping complaint. I agreed to it and she then immediately sent out another email with a reference number and said that Rangers will investigate and 'hopefully' New Living homes will have the fill removed before we commence construction. I am glad that I atleast got somewhere. We will wait a little longer if the dump doesn't move then we will have to pay to remove it ourselves. However it will be great to see if the council can actually get the builder to take responsibility and have it removed.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13792Sep 01, 2016 8:47 am Hi all, have a question - should the facade brick be different than house brick? I upgraded my brick to mild steel brick, but supervisor said they will put face brick on facade for rendering or moroka finish. I will do render after handover. Thanks.

Seconded These types of bricks (so I've heard) make it easier for the moroka to adhere to, & cost you less than moroking (is that even a word?? Lol) over your nice bricks.

[/quote] Shouldn't be, but you can always check any surface issues with the brick manufacturer (eg: PGH) in the instance that the render may erode any surface coatings that may be present dependent on the type/style of brick, & thus eventually crumble off.. All the best with it Sent using Tapatalk Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13797Sep 04, 2016 4:31 pm We're building in Elara and the estate requires the bricks to be smooth finish, single colour, not red black or near black... This pretty much cancelled out like 7 out of 9 options in range A. Has anyone else had this issue? How pricey is brick upgrade? Does Eden brae then allow you to go to higher ranges, given the estate requirements since it was a Home and land package? Cluelessly building London 24 Eden brae at Elara Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13798Sep 04, 2016 9:46 pm @shali: It was the same about a year ago for us. Pretty much all bricks in range A are not permitted in Elara. We had to upgrade to range B. Back than, this cost us about $1400 (Cement brick). I tried very hard to negotiate on this point but EBH wouldn't budge. You can try though! I did think it was worth it though (don't forget ot consider off-white mortar as well for about $500 depending on the brick you'll be using).
