We're not pointing fingers. This is the process of building in Eynesbury. Just... people buying land and planning to build there, need to be given the below list of bricks right at the start. Just like we're given the list of plant and fencing restrictions/requirements, so too should the bricks be included. Even then, with a limited number of builders, the builders either do not enquire often enough, or the updated list is not circulated by Eynesbury. So the list below that was sent to us by Urban Edge isn't the most recent - we got that from Eynesbury ourselves, but it does cover 90%+ of the bricks.
And to add to the confusion, because those bricks are not in the "Colour Book" we were given at the start, we had no idea what category many of the Eynesbury bricks fell into, and when categories can differ by thousands of dollars, it matters. Then we're told that bricks in the same range, are actually different prices, often 2 or more categories apart. Then you get an unhelpful salesman at a Boral display area that simply wouldn't give my wife any sort of pricing to be able to at least compare - yes, just the price you sell to the man-in-the-street, not a builder's "account price". And then there are the terms. Standard/Upgrade vs Category. Is Standard the same as Category 1 or 2? Is the Upgrade the same as Category 3? 4? 5?!
I'm sure the ladies at Urban Edge are as frustrated as we are, and they are being as helpful as they can. Had the list been given to us right at the start, we wouldn't be chasing our tails right now. So tomorrow its off to look at more bricks at the display centers. Hopefully come Monday, we'll have a resolution and we can move on to the next item(s). :)
And here's the list:
