Our Sales consultant is saying that Arden won't let anyone else on site to do this Thanks We didn't think of it during tender, but asked before contract I think, or it could of been after, but our customer service administrator told us to talk to our SS. He was great about it and our own electrician is coming in to do prewiring Thursday. The also recommended Big Picture People for home theatre as they don't do it.

Our prewiring is for security system and cameras only, not the theatre. We were told to get the theatre people in after handover. We paid for Arden to do the prewiring for the theatre. Re: Arden Developments 2320Nov 13, 2017 8:26 pm laaa @ezza78 because of the easement along the length of the house we've had to turn from double to single garage and also cut 420mm all the way through the length of the house. we had to decide exactly where we wanted cut thinner....i was quite upset at the meeting with arden about this so even though it wasnt going to be allowed by management our admin girl asked the big guys and they ended up letting me add 500mm to the back of the house on both levels so that bit is re drawn too. we also deleted the water tank (will install it ourselves after) and deleted the eaves so that we dont need to apply for build over easement permit. can you believe if even your eaves hangs over an easement you need to apply for BOE permit. damn council No I cannot believe that laaa, how ridiculous you can’t have your eaves over your easement! We cut off 80cm of the end of the house also because of an easement. I’m sure you won’t even notice it once built! Hope you get to start soon and the redrawing not causing too many delays! |
