Site Excavated - 27/07/12

So I get a call from my neighbor on Friday afternoon and he tells me that there was a couple of big bulldozers on my site saying that the site excavation had started! I was quite surprised to be honest as I didn't hear from Eden Brae for the week.

Cutting a long story short, I head from the city early to go to my block and as soon as I arrive, everything was done and dusted!! All complete!! Amazing I tell you!!!

Site Pegged - 19/07/12

Great news this week Thursday....somebody was on site and they finally pegged our site...i hope sooon....sooon Eden Brae will start onsite =]]] Ill gi there this weekend to put up some pics from the pegging and the back retaining wall done

Landsaping Update

2 weeks ago I met with my landscaper so that he can start on my rear and side retaining walls, as it will be easier for him to get in now before EBH pegs the site, as im already blocked off on all the sides. He said he will start this week so i'll post some pictures up by next week.


PS - The rationale behind getting this done now is so that their is less manual labour later on, so keep this in the back of your mind for when building in the future, else it can be a painful activity!!!

Site Start Appointment

We have our site start appoinment this Friday, EBH has everything they need now for us to commence construction....fingers crossed something will happen by the end of this month =]]]

Update - DA sign off

So I  have signed off on all my PVC's and signed the DA letter sent to me by Eden Brae Homes. I'm now waiting on my site start appointment which I hope will be either this coming week or the week after. I have also finalized all my mortgage documents and given EBH's everything they need....lets see what  happens going forward....

I have updated the COLOR SELECTION section of my blog to include some more pictures on our selections.

I have also included below our 3D design of our kitchen which has been provided by Kitchen Culture via Eden Brae Homes. The Sink will be under mount with  with a double sink and soap dispenser.

Council Approval!

Wow so its been a while since I last posted and so much has happened...Since our plans were submitted to council I signed all of our PCV's and sent them back to EBH (for all of our selections we made) and I upgraded our aircon unit to a larger size as we got the extra 2 sq's.

The council initally came back and said I needed to get a ventilated skylight for the study and had to change he large window in the living to 2 smaller windows (noidea why ) but i just got it done so they could approve. So I had to pay an extra $500 (approx) to get the plans re-done, certified and obtained the BASIX certfiicate as well. I had to pay an extra $820 for the ventilated skylight as well (sighhhh).

And Finally...about an hour ago I find out that our our plans are approved through council!!!!  So now I have to sign my DA and send it back to EBH so they can carry on with the process...So i think within 3-4 weeks the pegs should go down (hopefully the weather holds).

I'll keep you all posted with progress =]
