Hi WarpSpeed79, we have signed the tender however, we were advised at tender that we couldn't make the structural changes requested on the grounds that amendments for H&L were not allowed only internal changes. For example, window splash backs and extension to alfresco doors are not permitted. We then spoke with the CSO after signing the tender who put through the amendments which were approved by the estimators only to be overturned because EB "realised" that we were a H&L package client. Marko, our final plans have not been submitted to council we will email management and put our case to them and hopefully they will give us some redress. Thanks once again everyone. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13240Dec 11, 2015 2:54 pm Hi All, After sending an email to EB management re: structural changes a representative called me and advised that in respect to our particular H&L package structural changes were not permitted from the start in accordance with the developers guidelines and this is EB's process for H&L packages in particular when it concerns large volumes. I thought her reasons were frankly, nonsense and inconsistent given some individuals within the same estate have made structural changes. Building a home isn't something one does all that often and with such distasteful experience what is certain is that I will not be building again with EB again. Thanks for the initial advice everyone - much appreciated. I built with EB back on 2009.
