It was over $4K to get that from what I remember, but I didn't quibble on price, as due to it being an investment I claim/depreciate everything possible. I was led to believe at the start of my tender process that the prices were not negotiable anyway, but I liked the house so I didn't mind I didn't see it as an essential thing, though - just a more "make it nice" one. I am nearly 6' myself, & I live in a regular height place (hubby is taller), & we don't notice it Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 10840Sep 17, 2014 9:47 pm I would be interested to hear if anyone else had luck negotiating on prices during the tender. We definitely got the impression the prices were not up for negotiation. However we did get some discounts on things we were pretty unhappy about having to pay for (paying for extra fill when we were planning to have a pool dug which we would have had to remove the fill for which we felt could be used). Work FINALLY started on our block this week. We now have a level site and expecting the slab to be poured next week. We have received a list of when everything is booked in over the next month - looks like things are going to move very quickly now. I am really impressed with our site supervisor so far. His communication has been brilliant. I built with EB back on 2009.
