I guess it's important to leave it accessible, so any plans we had of installing full height robes with sliding doors is off the table due to the location of that manhole. We're keen to not simply have some shelves in there to simplify cleaning. Any creative ideas people might have had and are willing to share? Could you move the manhole to the garage? We have advised our builder that we want it there.

Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 14091Jan 25, 2017 1:49 am Help! I feel like I need backup that this can't be normal. My Land registers in a few weeks. After meant to of registered last year. Finally! Now I've contacted the builder to see what the next process is and a timeframe once registered for the build to start. They said they need to test the soil and survey reports to add to the plan and a typical timeframe is 2.5 months.... This seems extremely long for a build to even begin. What time have others waited for build to start? I'm going to talk to someone higher up about this. Who else is building with Eden Brae? 14092Jan 25, 2017 7:34 am Joie23 Help!

Kind Regards, Bruce "Building an Eden Brae Waldorf 50 in North Kellyville" Blog: http://waldorf50.blogspot.com.au That sounds about right. In fact, it could be a very ambitious timeline. It's assuming that everything goes smoothly. We had our land register in December and till the time they were actually on our land (site cut) it took 6 months. Once the land registers, they need to do the soil test, survey etc, finalise your plans and submit them to the council/CDC. This takes about 2-3 weeks. The council takes about 6 weeks to approve the plan (CDC takes less). Then for the builder to start any work on your site takes another 2-3 weeks from when it gets approved. This is provided that everything goes smoothly though. If the council requires any changes to your plan (or you request any further amendments - which is what happened to us) then you need to add more weeks to the timeline since the builder needs to amend the plan and resubmit it.

December land registration is not great timing as the Xmas break and in general Jan month is almost gone, nothing happens. My land got registered on 17th December and actual work at site started on 27th May. If they get it in 2.5 months, you will be lucky. All the best ! hope things happen quicker for you Joie23 ----------------- Eden Brae Cremorne Blog : http://newhouse.gores.com.au Re: Who else is building with Eden Brae? 14098Jan 25, 2017 4:47 pm mikegrg1 I was wondering does brick layer do the roof too?? Bricklayers don't do roofing. Our bricks finished last Tuesday and the brickies packed their tools. Roofing started today, different team. I built with EB back on 2009.
