Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10501May 13, 2014 10:54 pm We chose all our tiles and carpet. So that include laundry flooring and splash back. Kitchen splash back, bathroom floor, wall and feature, and flooring tile for all living tiled areas.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10502May 13, 2014 11:09 pm Our taps are fixed, so we don't have the option of swivelling them around. One of main issues that we had was that the std tap and basin combination that came with our house was not on display at HOG when we went through. We were shown pictures of what we were going to get and thought fair enough it looks ok. If I had known about the issues then I would have upgraded our basin. It's no good for mgmt to tell me that the tap and basin combination is in the Jasper display home. We had no intention of building a Jasper and therefore had no reason to step foot inside the Jasper display! We are not the only EBH clients that complained about this either. I know that cooks started to tell clients of the issue at the start of last year...pity it was too late for us! Sorry to rant, but Need2know has opened up an extremely sore point for me. Need2know, hopefully you can change the taps. No harm in asking. Hayley, we chose a glass splash back during kitchens appointment so can't help you with the splash back tiles. Are you able to go to HOG and get samples for the colours that you might want? Colour of benchtop etc? Otherwise ask if you are able to select splash back tiles (or change them) after your kitchen appointment.

We have a fixed tapware on the basin, but the issue is it is too lengthy. We house was not on display and the one we looked at (different house) had small tapware. Do you think cook will chnage the tapware? Yes, we had that issue and EBH changed it! Far too long for our vanity basins.One could have knocked teeth out when washing your face first thing in the morning and I would have constantly been cleaning toothpaste spitout off the spout! Hi Kerith please advise if you have to pay any extra to get them replaced? If so, then how much? Thanks Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10504May 14, 2014 2:51 pm No extra cost - replaced during construction.

We selected the tapware from a pic without a basin how the hell i would have know that this is practically very inconvenient and unsafe..... Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10506May 14, 2014 3:07 pm Hmmmm, not sure what to say?? Does seem a little inconsistent.

Im slowly trying to get back on track after we have moved in. there has been so much going on, trying to clean other house for leasing, organise this place and then work full time, leave NO time for being able to enjoy and set up my home. Here are pics from settlement on my blog. will keep updating over the coming weeks as i catch up on myself. http://drysdaletheridge.blogspot.com.au/ Eden Brae Drysdale 27 | The Blog Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10513May 14, 2014 11:35 pm Kerith 1sttimebuilding2012 Need2know I have received a tentative date for our PCI.

No we got our full occupation certificate... I was surprised on the day too... Depending on what level of finish your house is, it will be either interim or full.

They have told me they will only provide me with an interim and i will need to obtain my own OC once landscaping, fencing etc has been done. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10520May 15, 2014 12:58 pm HeathWilD This is what EB gave me. That is very interesting that LOCAL were able to give that to you.
