Identified few items requiring correction / repair and yet to know how long before they will be attended to. We've got independent inspection a few days before PCI, our independent inspector got in touch with the SS and organized the inspection after EBH finished building works and got the property ready for tyrell's inspection. interested to hear from other's about EBH's issue resolution history Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13552Apr 27, 2016 8:46 pm homeofjns Hi Lincoln, we're 2 months before advised completion date as per contract and had our PCI last week.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13553Apr 28, 2016 9:18 am Hi guys, My PCI is tomorrow let's say, if we have some minor/cosmetic issues, can we sign off the PCI(which implies the house is in reasonable condition to leave) and then settle only when all the things are complete? Or whether not sign PCI as the builder would not bother and delay things in doing as maintainance? Please advise. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13554Apr 28, 2016 11:28 am Vennie. That's exactly what we did. We documented ant PCI issues and received a copy of them from our SS. It was agreed what would be done pre-handover (a couple of minor issues we agreed could be done post-handover in the interests of time), and we checked those off at a pre-settlement inspection on the day of settlement. It was 2 weeks between PCI and settlement. I'd have to say that EB and our SS have been fair with us and we have been reasonable in our expectations of timelines etc. Deposit paid 3/9/14. Tender signed 3/10/14. Contract signed 22/10/14 Construction commenced September 2015 PCI 7/3/16 Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13555Apr 28, 2016 7:12 pm BelgianBuilder homeofjns Hi Lincoln, we're 2 months before advised completion date as per contract and had our PCI last week.

Hi BelgianBuilder, I haven't received a copy of Tyrell's report. However my inspector used differently colored stickers for issues needing inspection and looks like he picked up quite a few that weren't picked up by Tyrell's. Mostly painting related, some brick related and few others.

During our PCI there were quite a few issues (mostly minor) identified however were told will be done before handover. We did sign anyway as we didn't want any unnecessary delay. We'll get to know if that was a good decision soon Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13557Apr 29, 2016 2:19 pm Today, I got an independent inspector to go thru the house and postponed my Official PCI. He said to me the building is perfect except few major things such as electrical wiring not pinned to the trusses(australian standards) in roof, the insulation batts are not in place as they have been moved by electricians.
Regarding structure /roof/brick laying he said that it was professionally done. I am happy and glad EBH did a good job for me. This puts my mind at ease. Eager to move into my new house in 2 weeks time. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13558Apr 29, 2016 2:22 pm Tyrells has not yet passed the qa check on the house . Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 13559Apr 29, 2016 2:25 pm venniechada Today, I got an independent inspector to go thru the house and postponed my Official PCI. To be honest I picked up a inspector who is a builders nightmare . But at the end he said to me the building is perfect except few major things such as electrical wiring not pinned to the trusses(australian standards) in roof, the insulation batts are not in place as they have been moved by electricians. Regarding structure /roof/brick laying he said that it was professionally done. I am happy and glad Ebh did a good job for me. My Ss was there and he said he will get it done in 4 hours time. This puts my mind at ease. Eager to move into my new house in 2 weeks time. Congrats Venniechada!! May I know which independent inspector you hire?
