Eden Brae – Advantage Series "standard" ranges?

Hi all,

Hoping someone that has recently built with Eden Brae and may be able to share the options they were given for PGH / Kitchen Culture / Di Lorenzo etc.

My wife and I are trying to get an idea of what currently sits within the standard ranges (ie. not upgraded price) for kitchen materials, brick options, and flooring – and anything else I haven't thought of.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, we're currently building with EB (for the second time)
You need to go out to PGH yard at Schofields and they can tell you exactly what is standard range for your house, and give you printouts of what any upgrade costs are, and can also give you some addresses of bricks you are looking at so you can see them built.
For DiLorenzo, the standard tile choices are actually a LOT better than they were when we built 8 years ago - there's an entire double sided wall with about 50-60 different tile schemes (groups of floor, wall & feature tile) for bathrooms and splash backs, so quite a lot to choose from there.
We have our selections next week, so can't really comment on kitchens yet, but we've got about a 6 grand provision in our tender for kitchen upgrades (not including sink and a few other things we upgraded separately in the tender already.

Hope this helps you out, what are you building by the way?

Thanks for the reply!

We're building a modified London 24 – we moved the fridge into the pantry area and now have a nice long bench.

We've also factored in about $5k of upgrades for kitchen but I think this will go fast – a lot of this will go to additional drawers, waterfall/40mm (depending on pricing we will choose one - or both), soft-close runners and hinges and a few other things.

What are you building?

We are buildng the Waldorf that is the prestige series so we were able to choose bricks from range A & B then the cost started going up.

Range A : Dorset, Hampshire, Kent, Surry, Outback, Coral, Wheat, Dark Rum, Silica

Range B: Gibson, Kalahari, Sahara, Simpson, Sinai, Gravel, Stone, Smokey Grey, Ghania

We chose Stone (previously called Cement)

Again I am not sure what is standard for the kitchen and tiles in the "advantage" series.

We were pleasantly surprised at the range of standard tiles at Di Lorenzo and we selected a grey tile (colour : steel) for the floor and upgraded the size to 450 x 450. We also chose a standard carpet but upgraded the underlay to 10mm and it was quoted as $8/square metre
We chose Tempo Ice white Gloss for the wall tiles - standard range. (laundry) and Steel Gloss tile for bathroom tiles (standard).

The tiles are ceramic.

The carpet we will decide depending on price. The standard one we liked was Minster California Gully II - 94 Gravel and the upgraded one we are getting a quote on is Quest Rochford - colour: Downly Fluff . The price is $45 per square metre but with the $27 per square metre credit it will cost $18 /square m.

We have not got the final cost as we were only there yesterday.

In our package we had a choice of 3 Esasstone colours as standard and 3 glass splashbacks as standards. The Laminex cupboards were standard. You will need to check with Home Options Gallery.




The middle darker colour is our floor colour (it is lighter and more grey than the photo) and the lighter tile is our bathrooms, laundry, balcony etc ie wet areas

Thank you so much!

We just completed our kitchen very recently. A set of draws will set you back about $950

If you are considering doing 40mm stone with a waterfall your $5K budget definitely won't be sufficient. We upgraded the 20mm stone on the island to 40mm and that costed us $3434.20 alone.

The total amount we spent on the kitchen was just over $14K.

Thanks Bruce.

Yeah unlikely on both — we are leaning mostly toward just the waterfall (one one side) — but depending on how tender plays out we may have additional budget/some items may be included.

We're building the Drysdale 27

Just remember it's not just the kitchen you will have to upgrade. There is the electrical plan, the air conditioning perhaps, tiles, carpet/underlay, bricks unless you can find one in your standard range, rendering if you are going for that partially.

Yeah we've built in a provisional sum for electrical, have ducted priced in, and have some budget for others on top of the $5k provisional for the kitchen.

In reality we won't (can*t) splash out too much, so we'll keep it conservative.

Good luck!

I can tell you we signed off on our final variations. About $75K worth to be honest.
