Re: Live's Eden Brae Foxley 27 34Dec 21, 2011 11:09 am Live, did you also get the $5k promotional package? We got it as well and I was reading the brochure last night and I notice that it comes with the facade as well? But I remember talking to the sales person and they were we need to pay extra for the facade? Do you know if that promotional package comes with the facade?

I'll be visiting the Thornton one at start of January. photoimpressions Live, did you also get the $5k promotional package? We got it as well and I was reading the brochure last night and I notice that it comes with the facade as well? But I remember talking to the sales person and they were we need to pay extra for the facade? Do you know if that promotional package comes with the facade? I got the essentials package for $4890 or whatever it is. I think it just comes with the standard facade. The facade brochure we were given had the different prices etc for all the different additional facades. Of course this is just the design of the facade doesnt include any special stones, rendering etc etc which are all additional photoimpressions I wonder if they will be open this week since Eden Brae closes this week. I've seem some posts about people complaining that they need to install DEB? (Drop Edge Beam), do you have any information on this? As far as I am aware that different slab construction variables will outline what type if any beams you may need. Clay soil etc when they become wet and dry have movement in them. Add onto this what type of house, the size, full brick, timber or metal frame etc etc and there are all sorts of different loads forcing itself onto the slab and foundation. The beams are to prevent this movement and carry loads across it. I think a general "we need drop beam" wont be specific you'll have to speak with EB or wait until presentation so they can advise on what requirements it will be. A drop beam from what I can recall is when slope at the front of the block is higher than the rear and when there is more fill then is required. If you have a flat block etc a drop beam wont be required. This is my understanding but of course someone else may be able to let me know. Re: Live's Eden Brae Foxley 27 37Dec 21, 2011 11:39 am oh ok no worries, gee you would think when they show you the price of the facade, that should be what the price is... Re: Live's Eden Brae Foxley 27 38Dec 21, 2011 11:42 am Yea its in the fine print of any builders. The facade is just upgrade to any roof lines, patio, windows, door arrangements etc. Colors, render, stones, paving in entry etc etc are all not included. So the $5k facade upgrade is just the different look without all the extras. Re: Live's Eden Brae Foxley 27 40Dec 21, 2011 10:20 pm You should not need a dropped edge beam at fern bay. Overall I was happy with our build with Eden brae. I would possibly build with them again depending on the block we buy. My major complaint was the multiple weeks the house sat doing nothing when there was no rain. So i was annoyed when they claimed rain days to extend beyond the "guarantee" date. Delays with a change of site supervisor and the lack of communication that resulted from that was also annoying. The quality of the paintwork to the ceiling was crap but we gave up chasing it to be fixed as its less noticeable during the daytime. They also didn't seem to follow the plan with variations as that appeared to be where the problems started. If you stick to the design then it may not be an issue. . Ive been happy with the quality of the construction. The finishing quality of everything else was good. The standard upgrades were good quality too. Our complaints are minimal compared to others I've heard from some of our neighbors. The fixed price contract we referred them back to twice during our build when we got charged for some variations. To be honest I was surprised they tried to charge it as obviously Eden brae staff should know that it is a fixed price contract. The electrical upgrades are expensive when you go for that appointment factor in at least an extra $5k plus what is needed for the fibre optic connection I built with EB back on 2009.
