I was given the exact same interpretation as you BH. The reason is irrelevant, the requirement is black & white fact. After PCI the client must have insurance. Heated arguments with apparently less than intelligent SS's aside....More important to manage the quality of your investment than to question a very easy to comply with requirement. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10610May 28, 2014 9:10 pm we were the same as you BH and heath- told to get insurance as of PCI. i had heard form others on here that it needed to be done so we just went ahead and did it. They should make it a lot clearer though. something so important shouldnt be so confusing. Eden Brae Drysdale 27 | The Blog Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10611May 29, 2014 5:18 pm People as most will know depending on who you talk to is the answer you receive. Your home is covered by law doesn't matter how it is worded in the contract until hand over by EB, PCI isn't hand over. At hand over you then own the home so all legal obligations become yours, you don't make final payment at PCI so EB still owns the home (insurance doesn't cover something you don't own). Once final payment is made & everything signed & official that exact moment you are liable. No point asking EB you need to talk to fair trading for the facts. The fact is most have bank loans & banks don't hand over final settlement until they see prove of insurance from you so you actually have cover before hand over but you can have it dated to start on hand over day.

MelMel I was thinking of building the Sheffield 23 ... anyone built it? or got any tips? Hi MelMel, have you had a look at a display..? I've seen the one at Camden (Spring Farm) & it's very roomy for a "23". The only thing I wasn't too fussed on was the pantry, as it has shelves that seem a little difficult to reach into..maybe this could be solved with a tweak of the plan.?. Otherwise, we liked it because it's a little bit like a Tardis! The glass window near the stove splash back looks fabulous. I am building a Foxley 27 cnr, as I wanted to go a bit bigger with the alfresco on the other side Good luck deciding on what to build!

Hi PixiGT Yeah we saw the one at Spring Farm and fell in love with it … but yeah our problem was the pantry, I don't get how they think people can reach in that haha! Oh the Foxley was nice also! Good luck with the rest of the build!

Good luck with the rest of the build! Thanks MelMel When we were looking at the Sheffield 23, we were tossing up extending the kitchen bench adjacent to the pantry by 300 into the dining area, and moving the pantry wall into the bench space by the same, & then reversing the swing of the existing pantry door (to swing adjacent to the fridge space), & adding a corner hinged pantry door to open up the added corner space, hinged fixed to the bench side, so the opening is adjacent to the reversed pantry opening. To complete the change, I would extend the shelving in the pantry to meet the new corner configuration. Hope this makes sense! I'll try to load some photos of the house when it's ready Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10616Jun 01, 2014 6:00 pm There is a new Sheffield 25 at Gregory Hills, at the new display homes site, which has a different pantry configuration to facilitate access..had a quick look today & it seems a lot more practical than the existing configuration in the Sheffield 23 at Spring Farm. There are some narrow corner shelves + a small bench top with draws beneath in the recessed (formerly difficult to access shelving area) space. The new display homes look really fresh & inviting Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10617Jun 04, 2014 10:15 am After 7-8 months finalising everything we EB, we have finished all the docs. Now the waiting game, i've been told 20 days before they can give me a construction start date, does anyone know a usual time frame which they give you this or previous time frames from experience? Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10619Jun 04, 2014 2:50 pm Hi guys, yesterday had my tender presentation with EBH. The site cost came higher than expected. They added $5500 for stepdown to garage. Just wondering when you need to have stepdown to garage? Front of my lot has 0.5m fall towards the road. The overall fall of the lot is 1.5m from the back towards road. They need to do 575mm cut/fill. What's the fall that standard site cost covers? Building Livingstone23 with Eden Brae Homes Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10620Jun 04, 2014 10:07 pm Mystro how long it takes depends on how many homes EBH have in the pipeline. Some people had started within 10 days, others have had to wait the full 20 days. The 20 days are business days so 4 weeks all up. Now you just have to sit back and relax for a couple of weeks and then the fun begins with keeping a close eye on your build N2k congrats on getting keys and settling in Jahangir I think EBH allow a fall of about 1m in their std site costs. Our site costs were exorbitant as we had a big fall and rocks on site. Does your block slope left to right as well, hence why you've got the step down for your garage?
