What did everyone upgrade and how much? We are building bristol 33 extended I agree with what Bruce said. With electrical it is hard to plan. We took paper and pen and went to the display home and worked out exactly where we wanted plugs etc and made sure we had lots of plugs. We also found Abbey the cheapest and also got the discount. Very friendly and helpful. Pgh can give you a list of houses built with bricks you like which helps with your choice. We upgraded to platinum insulation so all rooms and between floors were soundproof. We also got bulkheads in kitchen and butlers pantry. We got two 17 l bins in kitchen. Aircon we went for 4 zones Toilets we upgraded so they were square to the wall with no gap, laundry tub we got dropped in to counter, kitchen tap mixer we got a pull out tap. We stuck with standard Silica Essastone and polar white cupboards as the budget can blow out easily. http://waldorf42.blogspot.com.au/ How is your laminex cupboards going? Just been to our 1st appointment and I am stuck in whether to go poly or laminate... Re: Eden brae home options gallery 15Oct 19, 2018 4:39 pm The builder we used (which only does house+land packages now) used the Eden Brae Home Options Gallery. We fell for all sorts of upgrades (like ~$20k's worth … eg. 40mm stone benches in all bathrooms, tall-boys in all 3 bathrooms, extra kitchen cabinets … electric cupboard-door openers which are a hit at any party) and we regret none of it! ![]() One comment - wooden stairs are a lot harder to keep in decent nick than carpet. I don't wish we'd gone carpet (haven't had hayfever since we moved in 3 years ago - free of it for the first time in decades!), but if you're a carpet lover I think it's better wearing … even dropping cutlery on the stairs will put a scratch in the varnish. Re: Eden brae home options gallery 16Dec 18, 2019 5:08 pm Hi, We had our appointments yesterday and have received some really high quotes. For wardrobe upgrade from Eden Brae standard its around $10k for 3 rooms. Do you guys think its better to get Kitchen fixtures, wardrobe and blinds through external suppliers? Thanks Re: Eden brae home options gallery 17Dec 18, 2019 5:21 pm ![]() Hi, We had our appointments yesterday and have received some really high quotes.

Thanks Every upgrade you do after handover will likely be cheaper as you’re not paying 20% builders markup. Get quotes now. You have your plans so other suppliers certainly can quote for you. You could be smart and then use those quotes to negotiate. Wish I did that. Cheers Brickface I built with EB back on 2009.
