Brilliant experience from start to finish! Job number 0023667
I can not commend Eden Brae highly enough to build with. My experience from start to finish has been brilliant. My home is now finished and it is everything I expected it to be. I couldn’t be happier. Throughout the whole process I met staff that were professional, friendly and dedicated to their job. Kayla was outstanding and assisted with every query I had and communicated extremely well the steps in the process. Ryan was phenomenal! he would keep me up to date with the build as things progressed and everything was done on time. I had very mi...Read more

I can’t thank him enough for making my experience so easy and the house being better than expected! To the management of Eden Brae, your staff culture is reflected in their work which makes for a great customer experience. I will be highly recommending Eden Brae to everyone! Thank you!

Perfectly managed Excellent Build quality... Never anticipated building process would be that easy and stress free!!!!!
Job 0022424
We moved in to our home sweet home last week. We were expecting our handover in mid April, but quite surprised Eden considered our request for an early handover and did it a month earlier than it was initially planned. Not many builders out there can show such care towards their customers.
With our "superman supervisor" Paul Doyle, Joanne Forrest and Johanna Van Doorn from administration, everything went butter smooth from the day one. Paul made the impossible possible and his professionalism and commitment is beyond words.

oved the way Eden Brae kept things straight to the point and no mucking around. Super friendly people all over and could not be more happier. Me and my wife always felt that we are in safe hands. They are patient, professional, transparent and they know what they are doing. We thought it was never going to be an easy process, but great people from Eden have proved us wrong and would definitely recommend Eden to all.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great experience so far
We are currently at the pre-construction stage. Our experience so far has been great. Ray at the sales office and Charles at tender presentation have been very helpful and patient. Kayla from admin did a great job. She was well organised and prompt in responding to our emails. All our questions were answered in a timely manner and the process was fast and hassle free. We are now just about to commence construction. Hoping to have the same great experience with the construction.

Fantastic Experience
Our build has been so extremely easy! Right from the start we have had amazing communication with our Customer Service Administrator Skye. She has been so helpful & we have loved having her to help us along the way. She has made this experience so relaxed for us.
Our site supervisor Jon has been great from the start too. He has been spot on with estimating all of our completion dates & has also been very helpful with keeping us updated with all the steps along the way. We feel very lucky to have had these two people from Eden Brae.
We are so happy with our home & the quality it has been built to! We would definitely use Eden Brae again in the future.

Perfect first home with Eden Brae
Supervisors Mark & Ivo were outstanding at every stage of the build. Constantly on top of everything and the overall build was excellent. Construction even finished ahead of schedule.
Emily was great at communicating the entire admin process and anything that was required of me. She was very knowledgeable and transparent which provided me the peace of mind.
I'd like to thank the Eden Brae Team for delivering a great build and would highly recommend them.

Very happy with final build
Our house was handed over on the 28th February 2020; exactly on schedule. The final inspection found that all minor issues found during the Practical Completion inspection completed. After the inspection we went to Eden Brae office where Joanne took us through the final lot of documentation, warranties and explained the App that we will be using to report any issues, if any, over the next 3 months. Overall a pleasant experience.

Super friendly and transparent- Eden Brae made building our first home a breeze!!
From the moment we first decided to build with Eden Brae they have gone above and beyond to ensure our experience was smooth and easy! Any questions we had were answered quickly and accurately and nothing ever seemed to be too much trouble. Skye was so helpful and super organised and our construction supervisor Steve is a lovely down to earth and genuine person! Our house construction started last week and it’s so exciting to see all our plans coming together! You will not regret choosing this company to build your dream home :)

Super Supervisor
Our build was managed well, our questions and issues were addressed quickly and professionally by our supervisor on Vilo. Jon is friendly, easy to liaise with straight to the point. Very impressed with Jon and his team.
The build quality is excellent, my partner being a builder himself was impressed with the workmanship and finishings.
The final cost compared evenly with our estimated cost and there were no hidden extra payments, what we were estimated is what we paid.
We are very excited to move into our brand new home in the next couple of days.

Great team, happy first home building!
Georges was an amazing supervisor, very prompt and punctual.
Very organised and well communicated even though the reception was really poor(the house was built on a new street).
Also the admin team was great in communication throughout the construction, always available for us to call and clear communication both written and verbal.
Thank you Eden Brae Homes, I will see you again in my next home building.

Extremely poor after sales maintenance service
Built quality, Very poor & substandard in so many areas. Garage got quite big cracks even before handover & they aren’t ready to rectify it despite so many requests. Plumbing is par below standard. Hot water pipe burst inside the ceiling & maintenance manager said it happened due to rain. Front entry door misaligned by quite a significant margin, again they said it’s ok. En-suite door continuously rubbing & scratching, he is continuously sending painters to patch up the paint, instead of changing the door. Maintenance manager [name removed] a...Read more
lways try to cover up all repair issues & created lots of hassle for us. Now hot water system pressure valve is malfunctioned & he said its out of warranty, whereas he was the one who told us it’s normal & don’t need to worry (within warranty period). He is the most untrustworthy, unprofessional & unethical person we ever experienced at eden brae homes. At 13 weeks inspection, he argued in almost every repair job. After handover, they will treat you as they don’t know you. We are still struggling to get things done which started broken down towards the end of 2 yr period or immediately after that. No courtesy, no values, no after sales service promises kept.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Our first home experience, completed all of paper/contract work and construction has just commenced as I write this review.
We were lucky to have Joanne F, Customer Service Adminstrator helping us all the way from contract -> council approval -> variations -> home gallery selections -> Release for construction

, Joanne kept us informed on progress of each steps and anticipated turnaround times. Yes, felt EBH initial sales team could have done better being transparent in taking care of few of basic straightforward requirements rather than leaving it for variations later on costing us extra money, which was the only sad part. We have got Jay as supervisor and eagerly waiting to see good progress in terms of construction and see to settle in our new home soon.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Fantastic Experience
The building process was extremely smooth. Everything happened when I was told it would. Supervisor Andrew was easy to contact if needed. Quality looks terrific, the small issues we have noticed have been attended to promptly, and plans are in place to attend to other fixes. Minor issues with drainage but supervisor is organising fixes. Final cost was in line with expectation set at the beginning. Would highly recommend.

We had a very positive experience with Eden Brae from Sales to Settlement.
The sales team were attentive and helpful but I would say to be mindful as the Provisional Allowances on the initial sales tender were well below the actual cost once you go to your colours appointment.
Tender and Contract meeting was great we were able to ask a lot of questions and it made us feel secure in our choice of Eden Brae.

Be careful with your sales rep and be careful with your variations and provisional allowance
We are finalising all PCVs before the build can start. My main grievance is the quote we received far exceeds the provisional allowance we put in. We put in the provisional allowance under the guidance of their sales rep, and we told her exactly what we wanted. A couple of examples, we told her we wanted wide engineered timber floor boards throughout except wet areas, and she told us $12k should cover the upgrade. The quote for the timber floors came back nearly $40k. We told her for the kitchen we wanted the most expensive stone top with wate...Read more
rfall ends (we've been to Home Options Gallery before we signed with them so we knew roughly what we like), and again she told us $12k should cover the upgrade. The quote came back $40k+. How could the sales rep be so ignorant? Or is this deliberate? It has thrown out all my numbers and I have to cut back on other things trying to make the build stick to a budget. People go down the road to build a new house so that they get what they wanted to a certain degree, I was realistic in knowing that I couldn't get everything I wanted because our budget is not infinite but I've told them at the very beginning the things that mattered with enough detail and double checked with them whether our allowance was enough. It makes me more than angry, this under quoting behaviour is either incompetent or misconduct, either is undesirable in someone you have entrusted with your lifetime savings with. We have chosen one of their most expensive houses in the prestige series, and we have paid for packaged upgrades. You would think this should have a reasonable amount of 'prestigious' or 'luxurious' inclusions. Truth is, if you stop here, what you get is a largely vanilla product with a few upgrades but nowhere near what normal people would call 'luxurious'. Recognising this, we have allowed another $200k for various variations and upgrades, and it turns out it still is not enough. The whole business model is also deeply questionable. Because their base product (even for a prestige series house) is so basic, you almost have to have variations and upgrades. With each category, they only have one supplier. No competition means high prices. Prices from those suppliers are dictated by Eden Brae. I understand most builders need to make a margin but some of their prices when comparing against the market make your eyes water. An example, to upgrade a standard MDF flush panel door to a high door (an additional 30cm in height), they charged $72 per door (this is just for the additional 30cm MDF) up until recently and now they are charging $97 per door. This is a whopping 35% increase. Who else in this low inflation world is having such steep increases? To rub insult in injury, the same standard door (same door from same brand) retails in Bunnings for $31. Please note the $31 is for the whole door, not just a little section of it. You know those seemingly attractive upgrade packages that appears to be good value? Some of those upgrades are just hooks for you to spend more money. One of their popular upgrade is increased ceiling height, our sales rep didn't even mention to me that we might need to increase the height of the doors to make the higher ceiling look good. They must have realised this, as in their latest promotion, they have included some higher doors (not all doors) with the increased ceiling height. I don't know exactly what relationship Home Options Gallery and Eden Brae have, the suppliers in the gallery might pay rent and/or a commission or rebate to Eden Brae. There is no doubt once you are signed with Eden Brae, you are a captive audience to those suppliers, it is hard to walk away without spending more money. Eden Brae may not be the only project home builder who does this. It seems they all operate on similar models. This sector reminds me of the financial services sector before the Royal Commission. I think it is high time for a Royal Commission on the building sector.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

. We would like to suggest to Eden Brae Homes in their process, that getting the house keys at head office in Baulkham Hills is a long distance for us especially when there's an office in the same new estate we're moving into. This would have been a 5 hour turnaround for us if we didn't request our keys to be ready on site which we have been able to arrange. To have the keys offered to us on site would have been a nice final touch. Apart from this, we would highly recommend Eden Brae Homes to anyone. We certainly aren't experienced in building a house, yet Eden Brae Homes made the journey at each step so easy - we wouldn't hesitate in building with them again in the future given the opportunity.Similar opinion?

We just received a quote for Hawthorne 23 Single Storey home for 311,000 and the price goes higher with each layout size. The website says from 226,900 and when we went and met them it was 283,900 including driveways etc per their pricing guide book and now the total quote is 311k.
Has anyone built a Hawthorne (any model), if yes, please let us know if this is legitimate. Our quote has additional costs like Additional earthworks, H1/H2 concrete slab, Saline Soil requirements, dropped edge beam to contain fill, sewer pegout a total of $14000 which we feel is extra. We thought all this will be included in the $283k price. Of course, we understand that ducted AC and other ceiling tiles in bathroom would be additional and happy to pay for extra things we ask for but the above $14k is excluding these costs?
Can someone please advise?
Kind regards
