Live wild card, it's the 3 rd appt in 5 months since we started an it's not for quote it is actual measurement to order shutter. So I think it should not be that annoying to meet tge client 6 or 7 times during the whole build. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 1624Nov 13, 2012 4:29 pm There is an EBH in our estate with a CCTV camera on a pole and it's own power source.

Would you believe that I haven't had any inspection yet and we are up to the roof stage, we are only seeing from outside. I have requested my SS , he always push me back but I had chat with him last week and said we really want to see house after the brick acid wash and see the frame work inside to make sure all according to the plans. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 1627Nov 13, 2012 4:50 pm Well guys I am very particular in following rules, so we had one when slab was poured just to say hello to SS, then one SS called to check electrical and today coz we had to knock some bricks an rebuilt coz they were rubbing with . frame an also had a second council inspection due to this. So I think they were reasonable. I suppose it's tge same with everyone, no one wants to Vist SS just for fun of it. Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 1628Nov 13, 2012 5:12 pm Those who got colorbond roof , my understanding is they have to install anticon blanket + acoustic blanket before the roof.Is there anyway we can inspect to make sure they installed both blankets? I must say they shouldnt forget but this construction making me so pedantic Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 1629Nov 13, 2012 6:25 pm smorgzzz There is an EBH in our estate with a CCTV camera on a pole and it's own power source. Not sure what that's about I have never seen it before. There are heaps of other EBH's too with nothing. I'd say there are issues either with EBH or people stealing stuff so a CCTV has been put in place!

I think visiting a site every 2 days is a joke, but visiting a site every couple of weeks isn't such a bad idea and definitely worthwhile. I say this because we had paid for high doors for our house and when the frame work was done, they were standard size doors. If we didn't meet with our SS during the build, they would have forgotten about it and would have had to fix it up later, or not at all. I think in limits its ok and makes sense to meet the SS onsite, else it does become annoying. Anyhow....im glad that my site is open, and i have been able to sneak in, im sure alot of you should be able to do the same. I agree that if something happens to you its your fault, and certainly not Eden Brae's responsibility. Such a shame that 1 person wrecks it for all, but then again, it probably wasn't there fault and Eden Brae are just being cautious. Anyhow....I have been emailing my SS and have had no response about meeting onsite, and now this has concluded why this is the case. I guess im not to fussed as I have still been able to get onsite Rabsta, why is it that you do not have a slab on your alfresco? was it not a part of the main house slab? just noticed it Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 1633Nov 13, 2012 6:52 pm Kerith Foxley25+2sqs hi everyone got some happy news =) Our land has been pegged (red pegs), yay! some activity on the land is bound to happen soon Yay for you! What a relief. Let the fun really begin - seeing it all happen before your eyes! yup, finally something is happening just read that ur not having much fun with the future neighbours but good thing is the council is not seeing it much of an issue which means the neighbours are likely to be overruled! hehehe Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 1634Nov 13, 2012 6:54 pm The neighbours are being overruled on their objections to the pool & the build - they just can't be overruled when it comes to trees! Can't wait to have the BIGGEST housewarming and party all night long PMSL!

Great to hear you got red pegs? We saw Santa on Saturday and my son told him he wants red pegs and a laptop for Christmas!!lol Built a Hawthorne 31 with EB nessjeffdreamhouse.blogspot.com.au Building an investment now with New Living homes... We are at nearly finished... Just landscaping and driveway to go! Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 1636Nov 13, 2012 6:58 pm Kerith jammie25 News news news. Had an appt with SS today and he told me, no more site appt coz edenbrae has had an incident, so all clients will be allowed into only twice during the whole build process. Once preside ie when electrical rough in is done and another is PCI. I don't understand how this works. Time to invest in a camera with a really good lens, I think! I wonder why 2 visits only? If you are supervised by the SS, I would have thought any site visit is OK? hahahaha luv this to bits Kerith see my hubby has just found an excuse to get himself a new set of lens... aaarrrrggghhhh, that's gonna hit my hip pocket too Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 1637Nov 13, 2012 7:01 pm 1sttimebuilding2012 ::celeb:: yeah foxley 25+2sq!!

Not sure what that's about I have never seen it before. There are heaps of other EBH's too with nothing. I'd say there are issues either with EBH or people stealing stuff so a CCTV has been put in place! I'm not sure there is another EBH 3 blocks down and around the corner, other houses near by and a heap of other houses including more EBH in that area and security for the estate too. I built with EB back on 2009.
