I'm looking at velour Choc tan, velour volcanic and cassica. I'd love to see a photo on a house if anyone house it! Hi Joie, you can actually ask PGH to give you addresses of houses with those bricks. That's what we did and it was very useful as we could see them new and older. Btw, are they new bricks? I don't recall seeing those there when we see looking. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13468Mar 18, 2016 7:23 pm Lincoln35_mckinley Joie23 Which bricks are we choosing?

I don't recall seeing those there when we see looking. They just re did the pricing and don't even have prices for 1 of them until 2 weeks so I'm thinking we choose new. Bit frustrating as some we looked at they said not available anymore. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13469Mar 19, 2016 6:59 am Hi Joie23 we chose Cassica, we're building Heathcote 35, price about 3k, we did our brick selection last month.

We are almost finished bricks but just received an email last night saying there will be a change of supervisor. Has anyone got Shaun as their site supervisor? Cheers! Yep we had a change of supervisor, both were average to say the least Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13471Mar 23, 2016 11:11 pm Hi Phil..just a quick query in regards to the baumatic appliances...how has your experience been with these appliances..we are currently in double minds as to whether to upgrade to the Baumatic package or the SMEG appliances package.. Cheers, Virender Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13472Mar 23, 2016 11:23 pm Hi All..another query in regards to down lights,,we had our electrical appointment today..we have been quoted $115 for a 10w LED downlight...in case we decide to install the downlights later, the electrical wiring provisions including the batten holder is about $ 75....so a $40 to buy and install a downlight doesn't sound very cost effective if we decide to install the downlights later..or am I missing something ...cheers, Virender Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13473Mar 24, 2016 6:38 am virender21 Hi All..another query in regards to down lights,,we had our electrical appointment today..we have been quoted $115 for a 10w LED downlight...in case we decide to install the downlights later, the electrical wiring provisions including the batten holder is about $ 75....so a $40 to buy and install a downlight doesn't sound very cost effective if we decide to install the downlights later..or am I missing something ...cheers, Virender Hi Virender21 same boat in regards to down lights. Install battens only if you getting lights like pendants for above kitchen or dining area otherwise down lights will run from main ceiling light. Get down lights installed later using quick connects I think they are called you could really do it yourself but still better to get electrician to do it.

Both were ok - the change didn't impact me in any way.

I considered doing it after handover but then I'd have a bunch of ugly batten holders to remove/plaster up. I'd rather have it all done properly up front, cost rolled into the mortgage, and be able to forget about it, but that's just me.

Hi Swiftsport, Eden Brae is providing internal wiring/ point provisions with a batten holder, so I guess I will have to make provisions ( recut the hole, install the plug etc) later if I decide to install downlight using the provision made. All within $40 per downlight if it needs to be cost competitive, as compared to the cost provided by Eden Brae. I just don't think it is worth it. What do you think. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13479Mar 24, 2016 3:51 pm I am also installing clipsal quick connects costs around $28 dollars a piece all you need do later is make a hole in ceiling and pluggin your down lights.
