Should charge for the advertising space I think. And the rain continues... http://casadelscaramanga.blogspot.com/ Re: EB Bridgeport 26....done! Picked up the keys... :) 12Feb 23, 2009 5:46 pm So.. the earthworks began today.... and guess what.. the workers uncovered a few small pieces of asbestos on the surface here and there... so I've contacted the demolition company to clean that up..
On top of this, there are a few bricks here and there which EBH want removed - these are just a handful of bricks laying about which were left behind by the demolition people.. EBH have instructed to have 100mm of the site lifted and taken away.. to avoid having to drill into any bricks or anything that may be under the surface.. Anyone come across this kind of thing before? I'm not happy about the asbestos thing, even if it is only a hand full of pieces here and there and I will sue and take this to the media if the demolition guys don't clean that up.. but as far as a few bricks here and there and having to scrape 100mm off the site.. Some pictures.. of all this on my blog http://casadelscaramanga.blogspot.com/ reply 13Feb 23, 2009 6:27 pm Hope everything is sorted out with your build soon!
Is that Ed3n Bra3 you are building with? They are like the clone of PD but in NSW - I like your floorplan, and the shape of the alfresco! The shape looks different to the PD Bridgeport. The house will look great, only if they get a move on! Built the Atlantique 37 Mk2 with Carlisle Homes - WE'RE IN!!

Picked up the keys... :) 14Feb 23, 2009 6:34 pm Yeah building with EBH... the only good news to come from today is that the site supervisor assigned to me appears to be a pretty good person..
Nothing but delays at every stage though.. been at this for 8 months now.. painful... I read somewhere that EBH and PD are connected - don't know if that is true though reply 15Feb 23, 2009 6:45 pm Well I hope that they hurry up! 8 MONTHS??
I also heard that EB and PD are connected, i THINK they are from Barrett Group who owns PD. Not sure though. They both have Lifestyle and Prestige homes.. so I guess they are connected?

Picked up the keys... :) 17Feb 26, 2009 1:31 pm Well, it's all pretty messed up at the moment. The demolition company are dragging their feet and constantly stalling.. my home site is contaminated with Asbestos and other building materials and there is nothing I can do about it. EBH have closed up and won't return until the asbestos is removed.
I have a complaint in against the demolition company with Work Cover. I swear.. 8 months to get to the point so that construction can start.. 2 hours in and site closed for god knows how long now. What a nightmare. I should have bought already built. Can I name the company so they can be shamed? http://casadelscaramanga.blogspot.com/ Demolition people get their act together. 18Mar 01, 2009 4:50 pm I was pleasantly surprised when I drove by today to see demo unit onsite ready to scrape the land tomorrow. Threatening I would bring the media in really got them going.. They will still need to deal with the Work Cover Inspector though!
