Has anyone had experience dealing with the new company (not sure of the name), we are a little worried as the selection is through photos. The new staircase company is a sub division by Kitchen Culture. They are new to staircases. Make sure you keep good records and leave yourself plenty of time in finalising the stairs.

Oh my gosh, they charged me $119 for each 'switch wire for fan with noggin', is this the same as the $40 noggin?

Stipulating a set 900mm head is amateurish at best. The detention drainage is designed for a 1:100 ARI. A 1:100 ARI has about 50% more intensity than a 1:20 ARI EDIT: Of interest, does your site have an impervious area greater than 70%? Your council requires any residential site with an impervious area exceeding 70% to have an onsite detention system. I don't know if my site is an impervious area or not, but only my block ( out of 6 blocks ) required that detention system. I was asking them why I had to have that system and the answer was, that is requirement for my house to be built after the hydraulic check by builder engineer. They gave me only 7 days to accept that variation or my build would be delayed. I chose to signed, didn't want the build to be more delayed. I have somewhat a similar story. During contract time, they included a provisional allowance of $8k for Hydraulic system. I had no idea what that was but they said it is required. Then after DA approval was received, they took 3 weeks to get the "Hydraulic plans" generated by the Hydraulic engineer who is basically Ibrahim Stormwater consultants (http://www.stormwater.net.au/) who returned a plan and quoted EBH for something. then EBH quoted me around $8k for the system which then i discovered that it is setup and material for the Rainwater or stormwater system. Although they have factored the Provisional Allowance since beginning, I was upset because in the original contract, they already mentioned that the Rainwater tank is included but then in the PCV quote, they said it has to be replaced with Kingspan and quoted 2500+ for that alone which did not make sense to me. Anyway I pretty much did what you did, proceeded so they can proceed asap because it has already taken a long time with fiddling around the PCVs and other paper work. cant wait any longer to see the actual works start on the ground. But i am still not convinced with the way this Hydraulic system been quoted. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 15476Feb 21, 2020 12:38 pm 3 weeks is ridiculous. They use a template and the site drawing and calculations are quick and easy. Money for jam. Do you know what % of impervious area you have? This is almost certain to be the reason. See council website. To be withheld information is to be treated with disrespect. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 15477Feb 21, 2020 1:48 pm well, I certainly still lack the understanding of this. would appreciate if you share some knowledge or examples here. if it helps, the house is being built on a vacant land now. almost flat. My understanding so far is that the stormwater system was for the house only (i figured that out from the pipes on the plan they provided). my plan only has a drive way to the house as concrete. rest is soil/loan. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 15478Feb 21, 2020 1:55 pm The builder should be able to tell you your impervious area. Maybe seeing the council is a better option. Just not good enough for the builder not to tell you. 3in1 Supadiverta. Rainwater Harvesting Best Practice using syphonic drainage. Cleaner Neater Smarter Cheaper Supa Gutter Pumper.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 15480Feb 25, 2020 10:38 pm sumur1au We are currently building a Waldorf and wondering where the best place to put the microwave, the display home has the unit in the pantry. Some display homes have the microwave in the Galley, looking for suggestions from others that have built a Waldorf on other practical locations and pictures if you can share. We’ve had it in the gallery and had no issues as per the display home.
